MEXICAN AFrArRs-The Asplnwall Courier :

July ii, says:
From fully reliable source we learn that IN.
rumor respecting the probability Of the return of
Santa Anna to Mexico il based upon facts of the
most important character. We are Informed tbnr,
is no doubt that Captain General Concha of Cuba
has made contract with Santa Anna TO provide
the latter with three vessels Of war and from 800
to 1000 man, expenses to be paid by Santa Anna
with which be IL TO endeayor to take Comonfort's
place. and that subsequently Santa Anna il TO sat
isty the demands of Spain against Mexico. The
contract is signed, and the only question is whe
ther spain authorised Concha to make the bargain
OF this we think there be but little doubt Ii
this work is to be done, the sending of an addition
al naval force to Cuba, 10 protect it against the
Uuted States, was no idle precaution.
