MEXICO.
RESTORATION OF SANTA ANNA.


We extract the following items of the latest
from Mexico, being from Vera Cruz to the 21 ut,
prepared for The n. o. Picoyune;
The news is Of the first importance. Santa Anna
has been formally invited back into the country his
titles and honOrs and immense estates restored TO him
BY special decree lie is invited TO come at once by
way Of Tampico, where Gen. VOL is to meet him at
the head Of 900 men. This the decree says, IL only
act of justice 20 the hero Of thousand lost battles
debt rather which the nation owes to one OF s most
ilus,rious sons.
The private claims Of British subjects in Mexico,
recently called for by the Minister, Mr.. Otwsy, had
already amounted 10 81 900, ,OO0 and against that gen
tlemans conduct during the fearful massacre AT iac-
baya, his counrymen resident 10 the capita had ahe
the strongest rernoDstrances
Iaiest Letters from the capital represent frigtful
state of things there, almost civil war among the n-
habtapts growing out OF the quarrel between Mran0n
and Zulosca The former had threatened the
,rrest Of his old confederate and was only prevented
from putting the threat into execution by the hterfe-
renee Of the diplomatic corps.
The United States sloOp-0fwar Brooklyn Capt. Far
ragut arrived at Vera Cruz from Mnatitlan on the
18th, Mr.. McLane, the United States Minister, on
board. The United States sioop-of-war Savannah,
Capt. Jarvis had been relieved by the Saratoga,
Capt. Turner from Pensacola.
Tbe following is the formal decree by which Santa
Anna has been restored to his rank in the Mexican
army:
Exoeeney, the President sub-.tute (Mrainon always
scusted BY the 'csst Of g.,ee and firmly convinced
Division Antonio Lopez well deserving Of his
Di @ ~ me sI sg " s . H puad that the long military ca
reer and glorious deeds Of arms Of that Per.1nase cannot BE- s
always desirous Of wohy rewardng true merit his
EaSsney . me y.es ss sss" sScrs Rssd Of 6 Ans Santa
Anna, be hereby restored TO bi: rank in the army
By order Of the President: ,,,e ,,o,,o
Transmitting the decree to it's destination the Minis
ter of War also takes occasion to cay that therein the
Supreme Government is desirous Of bearing witness,
fbed diafiu
dered to his country and the gOres he has conquered,
but to the fact that Mexico is ungrateu TO those who
have seryed her we'll
Commenting likewise on the decree also on the
restoration Of the old chieains estates and his prob
able speedy return TO the country, the official paper
takes occasion to say, "that it s al event Of the
highest importance and may be considered as the IN
augurstion Of a new policy in the country.
At last accountst from the island, Santa Anna was
still at St. Thomas preparing, it was said to return u
Carthagena. II would be curious II should turn out
that advised Of the course OF events be was theh az
ready packing up to return, longer an exile to the
land Of his birth.
AS TO the future it would be strange, if once back
again the old ch'eftan, always no fertile ID resources
and now so powerful by his immense wealth, did not
succeed in placing himself at the head OF the Govern
Inent again. And this appears to be but general e1-
pectation His career however, VIII be short as ne IL
fast approaching the time of life when men cease to be
active though he il said still TO preserve his faculties
entire and to be actuaed by all the ambition OF youth
The Central Government of Mexico has issued a
".
exequaur Of Mr.. Black, United States Consul at the
City of Mexico, and Others was not dictated by any
feeling Of hostility against the United States On the
contrary peaceable American citizens will be protected
by all the force Of the Government. Mr.. Black was
s at the capital where he remains at the request of
MIR. McLane.
