INTERESTING DETAILS.

AHc E'CM OEieauS papers VI VIC %oIA
dItimo have come to hand. They con,
tain news confirming the ~telegraphlc re.
port Of Santa Annals fight from Next
CO, with fuller details of the incidents by
which it was accompanied. The follow.
ing account is from the Picayune
1t appears that Santa Anna left the
city of Mexico on the 9th inst. at the
head of 400 men, under the pretext of
quelling the revolution in the State of
Vera Cruz. On IRVING at the fortress
of Pcrote he threw off the mask and un-
yelled his real design. lie there issued
a proclamation, depesiting the govern
ment in the hands of Pavoni, Vega and
Sales, and Immediately departed with
all speed to Vera Cruz. His last days
march was from Puente by circuitous
routes say fourteen leagues, and he
arrived in Vera Cruz on the night of
of the 18th inst. On the day after his
arrival, Santa Anna cndeavored to 90
IN board the Mexican war st Gamer Itur-
bide, but being prevented by the state
of the weather, he embarked on the
night of the 18th, and with his family,
it is supposed, proceeded to Havana.
In the meantime, all Santa Annals
ministers at the eity of Mexico took
f rench leave, and Gen Carrera, at the
head of the only troops left in the city
say 700 men, pronounced for the plan of
Ayuntla, naming Carrera President
prOten1., aud Vega, COMMANDMENT
chief of the tr oops.
In Vera Cruz, on the night of the
4 Qfh ~o-k aF fLa ~
Viejas pronounced and killed one of
their offers, and then left the city over
the walls to join La Lave, who wa in
the vicinity. Next morning the re-
mainder of the regiment, say 200 men,
were marched out of the city by order
OF Gen. Corona. to prevent further dis
turbancc. On the same day, Sunday
18th, the city of Vera Cruz and the
troops pronounced in favor of the plan
of Ayuntla, Gov. Corona still retaining
the command, waiting for orders from
the Provisional Government.
On the goth, all was quiet in Vera
Cruz, ard no further disturbance was
for till the 22d, the day La Lave
expected to enter the city with
his pronou91ciddoS, to which serious OBJ
we're raised, as his troops, it is
might create disorder. On the
of the 2Ist, however, at half past
a disturbance occurred among the
the Regiment of Guides, and
the I'd were ordered out, and several
were fred. The pronounced
in Fort Conception fred the
cannon loaded with Craze, and several
Of the Guides were killed. The Guides
then took the fort by assault, after which
Ill became quiet, and remained 50 un-
til the sailing of the Orizaba.
Since the foregoing was written we
earn that Carrera was appointed Pro
President for six moaths. A
quarrel for the Presidency, it is said, is
likely to ensue. The pleasure of AL
yarez aud Comonfort is not known, and
hey will have a say in the matter. The
of affairs for some time past
las been such as to lead to the expecta- F,
ion of all that has taken place. Peo-
lie began to speak very freely, and pri- :
ate meetings took place in the houses
# members of the Liberal party :
Since the 6Uh indeed these proceedings |
1ere commenced, and the probability Of J
he departure of Santa Anna was dis I
used. The sensation Increased as .
ours passed, and reached the highest .
itch when a decree under his authority o
nade its appearances nominating a tri-
myirate to act during his abs ;ncc, un-
il he should arrive at Vera Cruz.
On the 10th, the HeruGao and iSigIo
XIX, newspapers began to publish re- =
larks on the actual condition of affairs, r
rcaking through the bonds in which Il
he press had hitherto been held. They Al
9th published the plan of Ayutla, and s.
the issue of a P~ro1lou1cia-
in the capital, which was at first :
reclaimed by a part of the garrison,
nd in the evening by the population
no adopted it. 4
On the night of the 18th, the COM I
Iission appointed by Santa Anna put at :
berty the gentlemen that had been i'm
by Santa Anna, some sixty 7
number, and who were the principle Z
gents in causing the general adoption v
the plan of Ayutla. A
About the middle of the f~ollo1ing day ii
meeting of the populace took in the D.
-lamada, numbering from 5000 to TO- h:
10. They finally confirmed the plan of Sc
