Flight Of Santa Anna.


quclling the revolution in the States oil
Vera Cruz. Ga arriving at the fortress
Of Perote he threw Off the mask and un-
vcilel his real designs. He there issued
a proclamation, depositing tie govern
lment in the hands of Pavoni, Vega and
Salas, AMI Immediately departed with all
speed to Vera Cruz. His last days march
was from Puenta, by circEitous routes,
say fourteen leagues, and he arrived at
Vera Cruz on the night of tho 10Th inst.
On the day after his arrival, Santa Anna
endeavored to go on board the Mexican
war steamer 1turbide, 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 Ha-
vana.
In the meantime, all Santa Anna's Min
listers at the city of Mexico took French
leave, and General Carrera. at the head of
the only troops left in the city, say seven
hundred men, pronounced for the plan of
Ayulta, naming Carrera President pro
tenn, and Vega commanderin-chief of the
troops.
In Vera Cruz, on the night Of the 18th,
part of the Regiment Of Tres Eicjas pro-
'nounced and killed one of the officers, and
then left the city, over the walls, to Join La
Llave, who was in the vicinity. Next
morning the remainder Of the Regiment,
say 200 men, were marched out of the city
by order of Gen. Corons, to prevent fur
ther disturbance. On the same day, Sun
day, the 10Th, the city of Vera Cruz and
the troops pronounced in favor Of the plan
of Ayutla, Gov. Corona still retaining the
command, waiting for orders from the Pro-
yisional Government
On the 10Th, all was quiet in Vera Cruz,
and no further disturbance was looked for
till the ODD, the day La Llave was expec-
ted to enter the city with his pronunciados,
to which serious objections were raised, as
his troops, it was feared, might crc. te dis
order. On the night Of the DIST, however,
lat half-past I, disturbance occurred
among the troops; the regiment OF Gui-
des and the ID were ordered out, and sew
eral shots were fired. The pronounced
troops in Fort Conception fired the can
non loaded with grape, and several of the
Guides were killed. The Guides then took
the fort by assault, after which all became
quiet, and remained SO until the sailing of
the Orizaba.
We learn that the departure of the Oriz-
aba was eXpectedin in Very Cruz with anxi-
ETY., as some Of the principal offenders were
supposed to be going out in her, and thus
evading the vengeance the people might be
disposed to take on their persons. Since
the foregoing was written, we learn that
Carrera was appointed Provisional presi-
dent for six months. A quarrel for the
Presidency, it is said, is likely to ensue.-
The pleasure of Alvarez and Comonlort is
not known, and they will havca say in the
matter. Below we give an extract from a
letter received per Orlzaba, by CONNER
clal firm in New Orleans from one in Vera
Cruz, with which we have been favored.
Important changes i'll political affairs
have taken place since we last addressed
you. Santa Ann has He'd the country,
having embarked on board Of Mexican
war steamer with his family, on the 18th
inst. Her destination was not made known,
but it is supposed he has gone to Havana
Tor the present. a new Government is
about being formed whose views as to COM
morce III general are stated to be very lib
eral, so that we may soon expect to have
new tariff and the export duly lowered.
We find IN our papers from the city OF
Mexico some accounts Of the events which
prcceeleI the results we have stated above
The condition Of affairs for sometime past
has been such as ID lead to the expectation
Of all that has taken place. People began
to speak very freely and private meetings
took place in tho houses Of members OF
the liberal party. Since the Sth, indeed,
these proceedings were commenced aud
the probability Of the departure of Santa
Anna was discussed. The sensation in
creased as hours passed, AMI reached the
highest pitch when decree under this au-
thority made its appearance, nominating
triomvirate to act during his absence
until he should arrive at Vera Cruz.
On the 10th, the IIcraldo and Siglc
XIX newspaper began to publish re
marks on the actual condition OF affairs
breaking through the bonds in which tn,
press had hitherto been held. Whey botl
published the plan Of Ayutla, and precip
itated the issue of a pronunciamento in th'
capital, which was at first proclaimed by
a part of the garrison, and in the evening
by the population, who adopted it. o.
the night Of the 10Th, the commission ap
pointed by Santa Anna put at liberty tn
gentlemen that had been appointed by him
, who were some sixty i'll number, and wer
the principal agents in causing the genera
adoption of the plan of Ayutla.
About the middle of the following da
meeting of the populace took place i
Alameda, numbering from 5000 to 10,
900. They finally confirmed the plan c
Ayutla, with the addition Of making pro
vision for he organization of the Nation

and one man was killed.
