the t;iahifesto Issued by Gen. Santa Anna Upon
arriving at Vera Cruz. 1t will be perceised that
he promises to accomplish great things tor his un
happy country. How his performances will square
with his promises, remains to be seen. 1t appears
to be the generally received opinion that he will
endeavor to form European alliances against the u
States; and that in the event of success his poll
cy will be Irritating and defiant towards this
country. Should he fail, however, he will be
compliant and peaceful. The following descrip-
ton of this remarkable man, may not be devoid
of interest just now, aud we therefore make room
for it:
Santa Anna is tall in stature, of a pale COM
plexion, with black eyes and with black curling
hair. He is exceedingly graceful 10 manners,
polite and flaent in conversation He is said to
do as good execution with his tongue as with his
well tried sword. None can resist the fascina-
ton of his flowing and insinuating words
Though always artful and cunning, his manners
seem but the perfection of ease and nature.
Santa Anna entered public life as early as 1921.
At the head of rebels against Iturbide, he seized
upon Vera Cruz. Upon the dethronement of Itur-
bide, Santa Anna became great under the Republic
Soon after he instrumental in its destruction.
In 1929 he was driven into exile. La 1882 he
was recalled, and elected President of Mexico
Soon after he passed the Rio Grande with o.
600 men to reduce Texas, which had reyoted to
subJection. Made prisoner by Gen. Houston, he
was released on the promise that he would ac-
knowledge the independence of Mexico. He
soon broke his promise.
In 1841, during another revolution, he was
chosen President. In 1845 he was again exiled,
and fled to Havana. In 1916 he was recalled
Soon followed the Mexican war. When victory
decaredi in favor of the United States, Santa An
ma, of course, fed Revolution alter revolution
has followed in quick succession in Mexico
Cool. wise and prudent, Santa Anna always bides
his time; he never fails to make something out
| of anarchy and confusion. He is now again re-
called, and placed with unexampled unanimity
at the head ofthe Government. Meanwhile we
| must await another revolution.

the Dispatch, to CELEBRATE his late triumph by a

elevated to the Aldermanic dignity. Nothing
short Of this, it appears, will satisfy Capt. SJ me,

has keen relish for something else besides oys-

Is is expected, says the New York Journal OF
Commerce, that Franconis great hippodrome
will 60 into operation about the 1st of May next
the first thing of the kind that has ever been
introduced into the United States. Two hun
dred and fifty horses will be daily employed, and
there will be about an equal number of artists
and employees. The steam ship Washington
to leave Southampton the 3Oth inst. will bring
seventy four persons connected with the hippo
drame, among whom are Franceni, and Mons
and Mad. Cherenie, who are distinguished in
their line of business, at London and Paris.
The celebrated "Car of Roses" or "Bacchus,"
will also soon arrive by the ship Sea Duck, from
Havre. Thirteen artists are board the packet
ship Northumberland, with ostricbes and ele-
phants and are daily expected to arrive at this
port.
The hippodrome is located on the 9Th Avenue,
New York, ut its JUNCTION with Broadway, On
the west side of Madison Square, and between
Esd and Oath streets. The ground has for many
years been unoccupied by the American Insti>
tute, at the time of the annual Fair for the cat
tie show; and the Madison Cottage, Zone of the
old land marks) is being demolished, to clear the
ground. The Hippodrome is in the form of
large amphtheatre, $50 by 200 feet, and will
seat from 1000 to 5000 persons. The surround
ing wall and the seats are nearly completed. The
interior will be laid out, in the centre as gar
den, in four sections, with fountains, flowers and
shrubbery, and be covered by decorated tent
The buildings said to be more complete. ca
pacious aud better arranged, than any of the
kind yet constructed.
The style of entertainment will be entirely

One Of the party, named James Bowers, offered
his kind services to carry home another one of
the party, named G. w. Woody, who declined
the preferred assistance, upon which fight en-
sued between them. Bowers beat Woody in
most unmerciful manner, bruising his head
and nanging mis- face, until his appearance was
almost shocking to behold. The Mayor required
Bowers to give 5000 security for his appearance
before the Hastings Court at the next term, and
$500 security for his good behaviour for IL
nonshs. Committed.
MORE OF THE SAME SoRT.--This morning
man named John w. Woody, the brother of
the one so badly injured, met Bowers in the street
and endeavored to provoke row, by remarking
that he Woody was bound to keep the peace,
but for which act he would avenge the injury done
to his brother by Bowers. The Mayor required
of him to give 5000 to keep the peace.

Under this head the San Joaquin California; }
Republican states that during the winter months
band of Mexican marauders have infested Cal
averos County, and weekly are received the de-
tails of dreadful murders and outrages committed
in the lonely gulches and solitary outposts of that
region. Farmers lost their cattle and horses, the
traders tent was pillaged, and the life of every
traveller was insecure. Within a week three
men were found murdered by the gang, who also
attacked mill and killed two men who defended
it. In the attack one of the robbers was wound
ed, and was left behind by his companions. He
crawled to a tent; where he was found by the
Americans and instantly disposed of. The min
ers then assembled, to the number of three hun
dred, fully armed, and commenced systematic
search for the gang. Two who were Immediate
ly caught were Immediately hung. The entire
Mexican population has been driven from San
Andreas and the forks of the Calaveros. A mass
meeting was held at Double Springs, at which it
was resolved that it was the duty of the American
race to exterminate every Mexican from the
country. They should first receive notice to quit,
and if they refused they were to be shot down
and their property confscated The utmost con-
prevailed among the foreign popula-
ton. --...f. .r4.a-..
