SECRETS OF MExIcAS PuIirIcS Among
the political papers recently seized at TanpicO
was letter dated Mckee, February l. 1853.
and signed by Miguel Mo>sn, devoted friend Ct
Santa Anna. 1t MAS written few days after
the revolution. which overturned c monf"rt's
government. Just twcnty-f"ur hours. indeed,
before that gentleman took his departure for
the Unitel States, and is addressed 10 the We
tcran one legged crie!'ain himself.
The writer is about half in g"nd spirits, half
in bad spirits The revolution brought about
by the old Generals Vaccinations, promised
well NJ first, but was Likely to turn out badly.
This unfortunate ''Ens" is attributed TO the
clergy. directed by Padre Miranda. Politically
and rriIgiouslv. they wer'' in favor OF Santa
Annls return but nc vas ma, If too strong
wiil inr them 10 manage, so they chose Hu-
loaga President, whose government, /: was
safely predicted, wc;;ld not attain 10 very
great old agc.
One Of the most curious things in the letter
is the uncertainty which il maniiests as to the
which il would appear that the old chicCtain
is not very communicative a. 10 his move
mcnts even ~ his friends He might be at
Havana las WAS reported at the timcl or at
Carthacena, his New Granaslian home, or in
the British West Indies; but wherever he
might be. he WAS assured Of the devotion Of
his nonplussed friends.
Another curious item IN tho letter is the
statement that the Zuluaga government ard
the clergy had sent mission TO Havana. re-
questing the Captain General TO detAin Santa
Anna IL there. in that city. and not 10 perini!
his then much talked return To Mxico. This
mission carried out, - O sort Of bribc, tine
promise Of Gen. Concha. that the pending
difficulty with Spain would be satisfactorily
settlc,! by the new government. Santa Anna
was quite unnecessarily cautioned 20 b. on hiI
guard against their wiles.
