le ning's Palria, dated Vera Cruz. Oct. Isl
states, in substance. that an uid-de.camr
f. of Santa Anna, and groom who usually
as accompanies the latter, had been seen il
IN that city. where they had arrived twt
ID days previously.
II, The inference is that Santa Anna him
ty self is lurking in the vicinity Of the sea
x. coast, intending to embark in the Eng
,st lish steamer Midway, which was to sal

considers the fact, that since tho appear
RI ance of the ale de camp nothing mor
,is has been heard Of Santa Anna being il
no Puebla, as confirming the opinion that b,
ss is on the coast watching an opportunit,
to quit the country.
