MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE OF MER
cHANr-Our city has been in fever of ex-
element for two days past in consequence OF
the mysterious disappearance of Richard A
Curd, Esq, of the firm of Thomas H. Hunt &
Co. Mr.. Curd left the Club House, on Jeffer-
sOn-street, about twelve o'clock, Thursday
night, and was seen to enter the building in
the third story of which is his room, over A.
ID. Hunt & Co.'S Banking House. He was
heard about one hour subsequently making q
noise in his room and it is reported that
sounds Of scuffling were heard.
The grestest solicitude is felt by Mr.. Curd'S
friends for his safety, and many apprehend that
he may have been foully dealt with.

FLIGHT OF SANTA ANNA.-The telegraph failed
to apprse of a very remarkable feature Of the
news respecting the discontinue and fight of Santa
Anna. The official article from the Acapulco " Re-
staurador de la Lbertad," of the 9th August giving
the purport of communication from the city Of Mex
leo received by Gen. Alvarez, the leader Of the Rev
olutonists, says:
"The same letter announces that there is a strong
opposition existing between the American Minister
and the Dictator because that functonary, seeing the
very critical circumstances which surround this mis-
cradle administration of the tyran, has refused, in
the OF the United States Government, to deliv-
to Santa Anna the remaining three millions due
the sale of the Mesla Valley. Regarding which,
positively know that his Excellency the General
in Chief Alvarez, has solenny protested against the
payment Of this money to the tyrant."

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF SANTA ANNA's
ABDIcATIoN-Further advices from Mexico,
inform us that Santa Anna left the Capital on
the pretence of procet ding in person to quell
the revolution in Vera Cruz.
On the 18th instant, the citizens of Mexico
adopted the plan of Ayutha. During the ex.
citement following Santa Anna's desertion
the Office of the Universal newspaper and up.
wards of forty other buildings were demolish-
ed. The military interfered, killing 40 persons
and wounding many more.
Delegates met in the city of Mexico on the
tenth instant, in conformity with a request Of
the Provisional Government, and chose Caro-
President for six months. They also ordained
the freedom of the press. The statue of Santa
Anna was kicked and trampled upon l'y the
populace.
