PROBABLE DESTRUCTION OF SANTA ANNA AND HIS
ARMY-TRlUMPH OF ALvAREz--REvOLrO OF sIEBRA
GORDA, UNDER vAGA.
From the statements Of q correspondent of the New
Orleans Bee, we learn that It was runorcd in the
City Of Mexico, on the 9Th Of May, that the army
Of Santa Anna has been in all probability destroyed.
Since the 18th April, not Dispatch from the Gen.
era not letter from the army, has been received.
Alvarez, after making feint Of resistance, and bav-
ing fallen back, from position to position, from de6le
to defle-alter having lured Santa Anna beyond the
gorges of the mountains, has suddenly fallen upon
his rear and placed Santa Annals Army between the
Notifications Of Acapulco and the impossible passage
Of the Peregnio and CoquiIla.
This is the sum and substance of what is known.
What has become Of Santa Anna, caught as it were,
in a mousetrap! His conveys have been seized. all
his couriers intercepted - without provisions,
and without heavy artillery, harrassed by the
Pintos on every side, decinated by the climate,
eaten up by the fevers, which the early rains have
engendercd, what has been the fate Of the exped-
ton Sinister reports are in circulation. Some
say that Santa Anna, after being twice repulsed from
Acapulco, has embarked on board vessel and dis
appeared; others declared that he has been killed
and the to-day is that he is prisoner in the
hands Of Alvarez. All these rumors are probable.
1t is certain that Alvarez has placed the Crassus in
difficult and dangerous position. 1t is hardly pos
siblc that he will have chance to capituatc.
For three weeks the Cabinet has been without
intelligence from the army. His most Serene high
left prccipitaaly, blindy bent the expedition,
thout roviding Government ad interim, or dele
eating his authority to others. At Council Of State
which preceded his departure, Santa Anna took
leave OF his Ministers. Three Of them had the
bodness to hint that he was neither immortal, mol
invincib!e, whcreupon the hero flew into violent
rage, and threatened the ndiscreet intclocutors with
expulsion.
There is Gighfu vacuum in the treas ury, and
yesterday the pous Lares and the great Bonilla en-
deavored to obtain a loan Of S5O,OOO from the Arch
bishop out Of the funds Of the Church; but the
priests who lavish of scapuaries and re De-
entertain mortal detestaon Of an empty strong
box. The money Of Mother Church is sacrcd.-

From day to day explosion is looked for.
movement in the Capitol has been talked OF for the
last three days. The Ministry, in their perplexity
wished to make little coup d'etat by creating a tri
umvi,ate consisting Of BonilIa, lares, and another
whose name has not transpred. But the officers oil
the garrison declared that they recoga ized no one
save Santa Anna, and that the proposed triumvirate
would be treated as rebels and insurgents. The
French journal, LIE Trait d. Union, seized, and
its edition suppressed both in the mails and the pub
lie Offices, for having ventured delicatcIy to hint al
this question of ministerial embarrassment. l learn
that the editors have been sentenced to pay hcav,
fine. The party in power are insovent enough, hut
the hour is approaching when these fanfaronadcs will
cease. DO not be surprised if my next letter an
nounccs 4 new revolution. Juan Ccballos is the
for the times; Mr.. Campo, however, is highly pop
ular. The two together would concentrate the sup.
port Of all the higher and influential persons in
the State. Yturbidc, son Of the lbcrator, would re-
ceivc the surages Of the people; but he is OF
philosophic misanhrope, leads secluded life. and
cares too little for power ever to aspire to it,
We have not learned here the fate Of the bra, c
Cendejas, and the talented PristO. The overthrow
of Santa Anna would restore these distinguished Cit.
liens to the republican party.
From the interior. secret correspondence having
been received, notifying the Democratic leaders ,ha,
everything is prepared, and that the instruction is
ready to burst forth whenever the signal is given.-
Vega has stirred up Sierra Gordo; Mazatl,n, Oaaca
and Jalisco will follow the movement. Inc deat,
and flight of Santa Anna would terminate without
shock, the miserable and isnomnio,s posture Of az.
