most scandsous and unexpected affair which you could
imagine The Monitor R,p4blieaa0 Of the evening
of the nth contained long end just defence
of Gen. Mihon. written and published al San Luis
POtosi. The charges against Santa Anna contained
In this vindicstiOn were 80 strong that the angry
populsce burned to take vengeance upon him. Forty
eight hours bad passed after the publication OF the
vIndicstion in the Capital when the same Santa Anna
presented himself to assume the command under
pretext Of making important arrangements The lePzs
collected to received him, ,nd with cries Of Death
lie sold ne to the Yankees began to hurl stones at
him from all directions Just in the nick Of time pro
ven,ive means were taken and misfortune avoided
which would have been grand piece Of good luck for
the unhappy Republic Of Mexico. Santa Anna saved
himself but compelled 10 augment considerably the
guards Of the psace prevent ester ourages and
attempts his life There he has remained shut up
and to this date he has succoeded in preventing the jour

that he will try feat Of his peculiar slight Of
hand and that he will succeed once more in cheating
his counuymen Minon has told him many truths which
hit hard, and have disturbed him greatly We viii
how he tries - put a stop 70 the matter.
The preparations for def nee of the Capital against
the Americans complete farce in spite Of all ihaitho
paper, say and If Gen Scott were TO present himself
49, 81 h,
meeting any resistance from the tn hundred thousand
inhabitants of the city have doubt that We shall
see the Fourth Of July Of this year celebrated here with
IS much noise and enthusiasm can be displayed IN
Eev-York or Philadelphia. Almost all who not
military men favor of peace and have not the fear
Of declaring their sentiments which restrained them
only month ago. Meanwhile, II the soldiers pretend
desire war 1t is not from patriotism desire to de-
fend the nation but because they hope for the opporu
nifty Of prae,cing randdisa and robbery such even
the Americans cannot equal.
The clergy, that recgend body which not long since
seemed disposed last to give considerable portion Of

have changed their intention since reading the last pro
csmatOn Of Gen Scott 10 the Mexican nation dated
Jsaps the llth inst Seeing that the Americans promise
respect the property Of the church. and that mp the
present time they have done So the patriotic Mexican
Clergy have decided NOT TO CONTRIBUTE OF their sub
for the defence of their native land This proves
that if before they willing do something, it
because they thought their possessions In danger If
the "Yanks should get their hands them and they
must lose them any way they resigned themselves TO
making generous sitf to their dear country. But now
when they see a thousand guarantees and securities
offered, gaining confidence in the possibility of
escape without losing their wealth the reverend fathers
