dc Ia patra will be the first emperor. II is de-
termned on. Ample means in his power TO
carry out the coup det6t and many months are
not expected TO elapse until Santa Anna takes his
place among the family of monarchs-of emperors.
IL is well understood that Spain has long been
DESTROYS of again obtaining footing in Mexico.
That the government of Spain could hope 10 carry
our their plans with Santa Anna in power was out
of the question: because his ambition would not
tolerate any one taking the precedence OF him in
his native country. Whatthey could do, however
was TO assist him with money and every other
means in their power 10 establish the empire and
them calculating upon his age, trust to their fur
Their intriguing TO be enabled after the death of
Santa Anna TO establish Spanish prince upon
the throne of Mexico. Such plan they now an
ticipate TO put into execution, and Santa Anna
will avail himself Of all the means and assistance
which his Spanish allies have promised TO furnish
him with. He will proclaim himself emperor, and,
as he has no son. will very little as TO who
may become his successor. With hun il may be,
as thought celebrated statesman After me,
the Deluge; " bnt so long that event occurs not
during his lifetime, il is matter of perfect ndi-
ference TO him when il may happen after his
death.
II is somewhat important to the administration
at Washington TO have some foreknowledge of
what Santa Annals projects are, and we therefore
commend tothe serious consideration of our states
men and politicians the views which are herein
ascribed TO him.--N Y. Herald

Electricity.-A very singular effect of electro
city on the chronometer of the ship Austria is
thus described in letter from the captain TO her
owners: "My chronometer stopped as informed
you in my last, on the fourth day out from Charles
ton. The cause of it has been ascertained beyond
the possibility of doubt On its being taken TO
pieces, the balance spring was found heavily
charged with electricity, and actually bent, and all
the other works composed of steel more or less
storm was passing over the ship; the surrounding
atmosphere was in such state of connection that
the Austria fairly tremblcd in her every timber,
and we distinctly heard the lightning hiss as it
struck the water in rather uncomfortable prox-
unity 10 our sides All our compasses were also
slightly injured and had TO be sent on shore for
correction, on the arrival of the ship in Liverpool
proving the necessity of isolating instruments on
ship board much as possible."-N Y. SIM.
