As We look out upon the bay we see the horse still
flying, showing the resting place OF the steamer Fashion.
The signal Is now we'll known 10 the people, although they
do not know what q horse has to do with a nhbuster ship
they were never kicked-And know nothing OF the turf.
But q greater hlibuster is here-a horse Of another color
and fashion-Santa Anna. How he came and when are
known a the palace. The people do not dream that he IS
here, and even the ROSTERS do not crow q welco me for
their renowned patron. But he Is here, came in secret,
keeps under cover, and bides his time 10 strike a blow at
Oomonfort and Mexico. How we are 10 get him down, I'M
less we make a special messenger Of him to seoe our
difficulties and give him the escort Of our thirty odd vessels
of war, ] do not see. But the thing is arranged. He is to
20 down and get up a pronuncicnsSento on his own hook,
from the debris and factions outside OF tne two PARTIES
constitution and dictator. The time. are just suited TO his
service, aid If he can leave the cockpit long enough, his
footprint will once more curse the soil Of the unfortunate
republic, and the church will have its own again, or die
in the struggle for "the spois."
The game cock does not show bumself abroad; and, in
deed. there is not a dozen people out of our most elevated
official circles that know Of his being here. He puts the
best foot forward, and will march once more, III Il be 10 his
grave. HIS wife is young and rather pretty, but will not
go down until her husband has the housekeeping ar
engagements made at the capital. If the old fellow makes
a bold dash into the city of Vera Cruz he might find q
warm welcome-more so, perhaps, than he anticipates.
! DO not ~iearnthat he has sold TO Embil or Marty any OF
his Yucatan Mdians. but should he creep into power once
more he would probably resume his old trade. We cannot
get any raliable infor nation from the palace just now, as

Santa will make a formidable entering wedge for our pur-

A story Of disagreements between the officers of the
Cyane and our port authority, when that ship was here a
few days since, and of coldhess between the Consul Gene

A F1otrishing Trade in Slarss-Resistanoe Of a SLAYER TO a
Sronish War Ship--7he Nary Boats Driven OG-Santa
Annals Whereabouts.
In the past week two vessels have been despatched
hence for the coast OF Africa-cleared for Boston and a
market, or SEINE other port down East. The trade is
fourishing, and from the high prices for the stock, it will
not diminish-especially as long as our money market
remains with the %stringeDcy now bearing upon it. Every
cargo Of negroes safely landed brings into pay the concealed
treasures of our saving people. One cargo was landed
last week in the vicinity OF Marel. The SLAYER which
drove Of the armed boats Of the Spanish war schooner
Cristina, and escaped, has not yet been heard OF. II has
not often occurred that armed resistance has been made
by slavers to prevent their capture, but il will serve TO
show the determination Of the people TO keep good their
supply Of the hands Of toll.
Icannot learn anything new of Santa Anna or Of the
progress making for future events, which are 70 startle
the world and arouse slumbering patriotism once more.
