letter from Mexico dated the 2Olh of October
and published in the Tampico Sentinel, states that
Santa Anna has taken up his residence at Tebua-
can, whence he intends to defend himself aoaipst
the charges brought against him. 1t is not only
alIeged that he abandoned the city on the night of
the 18th September last, with his army, in most
cowardly manner, leaving the city without protec-
ton, but that previous to his leaving he robbed the
treasury department of all bonds and every other
species of available means. And to cast all sus.
plcon from himself, he then ordered that the pr
son Of the Accordada be opened and its convicts
let loose upon tho community. The hall of the
House Of Representatives was entered by them. its
chandeliers broken into thousand pieces. the rich
tapestry torn from the windows and strewed about

upon Congress. A letter writer from Washincton
thinks ne will narratc in his message the events Of
