SANTA ANNA.-The Free American Of the
3Ist ult. says that "Santa Anna requested
Col. Hughes; Governor Of Jalapa, to receive
him, as he had a passport to leave the coun-
try. We understand that Col. Hughes went
out with two companies Of dragons and one
OF artillery, to meet the gentleman at his ha-
cienda Of EncerO. He will probably embark
on board Of the English steamer for Havana
He will go to A ntigua-there he will proceed
to Jamaica, to await there an offer from John
Bull, to come back TO his native country. He
is a worthy son of his country" "A later
date states that Gen. Santa Anna sailed for
Jamaica on the morning Of the 4th,
The same paper, and of the same date, con-

urds!"
The succeeding number Of the paper
throws som light upon the above mysterious
paragraph, although it leaves us in doubt rs
to the identity of the officer alluded to. For
the credi. of our state, we hope he is not from
Louisiana.
"ET-Lieut, Smith This worthyleft Ourcity
day before yesterday, with about twenty men
after having sold his pay roll three times, to
our knowledge. We have learned that since
his departure, he went to a farm about one
league, from this city; there he robbed oil he
could find, and forced one ofthe laborers to lead
him to a place where could find horses TO rob.
At the same moment, it seems that he was
going one way with this laborer, Capt. Como
ly's troops arrived at the hacienda which he
had lust left; but as none on the farm knew
where they had gone to, it was thought they
had taken the Medelin road and in conse-
quence, Captain Connolly's command went In
pursuit Of them. They returned the same
night, having seen nothing Of the deserters'"

Gently deserted with several Of his men, did
belong to the louisiana Volunteers. He has
been delivered up to Col. Wilson, by the band
Of guerrilleros he had joined, and is now con-
fined in the Castle,)
We extract the following items from the
Star Of the Goth ult.
San Lns.-The PrQgresO, at Queretaro, OF
last Thursday, Says the imprisonment OF Gov
Adame was creating much excitement at San
Luis against the Supreme Government. 1t
was believed that it was the intention Of those
who arrested him to put him out OF the way, in
consequence of his having been the only one
at the meeting Of Governors at Queretaro VINO
was for war. We do not know how this is,
but we presume the Government had good
reason for its course. The reader will remem-
Der that we have already stated that Adame
was taken to Queretaro. He was probably
arrested in consequence Of being privy to the
late revolutionary movements in San Luis
Pue6a.-The Monito, states that a party Of
bandits, four days since, plundered the town
of Nopalucan, and also robbed the diligence
going to Jalopo; taking whatever they could
find, including a large basket OF crockery ware
for the hotel in Perote. They took, also, seven
horses belonging to the diligence mantioned.
The Monitors correspondent censures the au-
thorities Of the towns for not taking means
for preventing such outrnges.
Queretaro.-The interior mail last night
brought US the ProgrcSO of the 23d. The ed"
