RETURN OF SANTA ANNA.--The New York
Tribune in giving some interesting news from Mex
leo, obtained from gentleman just returned from
there, says;
But by far the most absorbing feeling Of the peo-
ple is, desire for the return of Santa Anna. 1t is
felt more and more, that the willy General is the
only man living who thoroughly understands Mexico
and the Mexican character. IL is believed by ma.
ny that he WILL at no distant day, be restored to his
ancien, office and authority and that the Revolu-
ton by which this is to be accomplished will be emf
nently peaceful. Even the most determined ene-
mics Of the ex President are compelled 10 ackhow-
edge that with all his faults, there is no man so
well calculated to govern Mexico.
