Santa Anna stoned In the Capital.

From La Para Of yesterday learn that letters have
been received in this city, by the way OF Tampico from
the city of Mexico to the 2lst ult in which It is stated
that Santa Anna arrived in the capital the 10th May
expected; that his reception was very different
from what he anticipated The populace rabble prin-
cpally peros assembled to receive the President ad in.
tern and showered upon him both loud and deem.
and from words proceeded the old nursery story runs
to try what virtue there in stones His cxcelency
not being ambitious to follow the example of St. Stephen
sought asylum in the palace. The people, indignant at
the frequent defeats of the Mexican armies, and the fail
ure OF Santa Anna to redeem his numerous promises,
sought to revenge themselves upon his person. Had il
not been for the armed force and the police the unhappy
President would have been dragged through the Streets
as was once the fate OF that poor amputaed limb which
has served him SO long most potent reminder of
courage and gallantry which sadly in want of
props.
These statements are based upon information commu
nced by very reliable persons to commercial house
in this city, which usually obtains the first and most a-
thentic news from Mexico
Welof the Delta) give the story in own language
as we learn it from La Patra and other sources not
vouching for its truth, but not discrcditng it. We think
not improbable that his exceency has arrived at the
point in his history where he must make one of those
rapid descents from great power to great nohngnes 30
characteristic of all who rest their hopes upon the tickle
and teacherous rabbe of Mexco-a rabbe whose nature
is strong compound Of the worst vices of civilization
and barbarism.

WHAT WOULD THE WINGS DO THE wings are very
much given to prophesying They cannot quit it, al
though fuflment of one of their predictions would be
almost miracle. Suppose, now. they should, most I'M
fortunately for themselves get the power to control this
government and called upon to manage our rea-
tons with Mexico; and suppose further that they had
any regard for their country, and their consis
tency Let us see what they would do. First, withdraw
the army back to the Rio Grandeno, to the Nueces But
Mexico would contend that her territory extended the
Sabine What would suItifed whiggery say Could not
Mexico show to the full satisfaction of all the world that
the wrong done her in annexng Texas had been acknow
edged in the most ample manner by the universal whig
payi Well the army must come back to the Sabine or
nav the price Of Texas TO Mexico, OF our country must
be officially branded with acknowledged knavery. This
matter being settled Mexico demands indemnity for the
accursed war, the numerous MURDERS the enormous
penses incurred &c. The three millions would be needed
10 poptiate Santa Anna, and how many millions more
would repay Mexico for what she has suffered and ex
pended We should like to see committee consisting
Of Prentice, Corwin, McGaughey, Gddings &c. pros
rae before Santa Anna, kissing his wooden leg i'm
porng his forgiveness for injuries acknowledged to be
dark and damnable. Would not the scene be rich
one?
1t very preposterous to suppose that the wings would
do this some may think. Perhaps it is 1t is prepos
ferrous to suppose that they would do right If the ground
they have assumed be correct they bound by every
principle of Justice make the most humble confessions
to Mexico and the world and if they will not do it, they
must proclaim all mankind their utter restitution OF all
moral principle They must have the brazen efrontery
TO persist wrongthe darkest and most accused that
the world has seenat the same time refusing to
make reparation Ii it were not too serious matter for
the honor of the country, it would be amusing enough
to see the wing party get the power they want.
