Arrival Of Santa Anna in
Mexico.

Mexico.
Last night we received the telegrap phic
report from Vera Cruz, of Santa Annals
arrival at that port, though he had not
been expected til two days later. The
British steamer came in sight at o'c Ock,
and an immense crowd Immediately as
semhed at the wharf The ringing Of al
the church bells, innumerable guns fired
from the fortress Uloa, fouriShing
speeches, and whatever else could be done
10 welcome the Libertador, as he has
been ca led dozen times already on for
lner occasions, gave a demonstration of
public feeling. -.
Most likely Santa Anna will first visit
his. estates, near, Vera Cruz, and leave
time fcr ed ualy brilliant receptions on his
route, before. he comes to this city, where
Gen. Lomhardni, the provisional Presi-
dent, has been raising a numerous army,
or rather officially, having created 1900
officers. . ,.x :..
There are rumors in town, that q col
Onel's diploma can he got at $500 piece,
and other charges in proportion;. and that
Gen. Lombardni is making up. for the
time lost under Herrera and ArI>ta.. The
treasury being as empty as ever, he has
even stretched his sacrlIegous hands, to-
ward the church property and aroused
the Indignation of the Universal, a paper
sold to the b ack robe, while the Monitor +,
the former ministerial paper, has changed
its coIors for the tenth time, and is as ex-
travagant in Santa Annals praise, as it
ever was in cursing him after former re-
verses.
When saw the promoters Of the last
revolution, Blancarte and Uraga, decl'ne
all honors, | thought that better principles
would prevail; but | am afraid that all
those starved creatures of Santa Anna,
men like Baranda, Bocanegra. Rangel and
others, whose politics have been the tor
mer ruin Of the country, will again divide
the spoilS. The daily stages to Vera Cruz
are crowded with office seekers, and |
could not name one of all those that are
thus gone to meet Santa Anna, who is Ca
pahle of anything good. The monopo-
lists, the gamb ers and the like, are the
foremost, and probably the most Likely to
succeed
Santa Anna having been proclaimed
President in this city on the 10th, and at
Vera Cruz on the 9th ultimo, his word is
alread y considered law, though the irau-
guration will only take p ace on his ilrri-
val in this city -Correspondent of the
