FRANCE, ENGLAND AND MExGco.-A letter from
Havana, under date of February 18th, says:
We hear rumors in the city that commission for
the recall of Santa Anna to the imperial power in
Mexico, passed through here on the last British
mail steamer for ST. Thomas. If he does not fear
to take another struggle the representative of
Church Highways -French-a and British pow
ers and influences, he may accept; but as this
clique will not represent majority of the people
of that Republic, it is considered by those best
versed in its present chaotic political condition,
that he will decline the temptation-and bid them
avoid
1t is boldly uttered here that France and Eng
land have decided to take positive steps for the
security of firm government in Mexico-that they
will define the basis for municipal action of the
authorities that are, or may be and compel respect
to their dictum, by force, il it is resisted by the
people, or by any other power friendly to the Re-
public and freedom.
We still continue to harp upon the indignity Of
fered to Spain by the proposition purchase Cuba.
Our papers, however, publish all the proceedings
of Congress bearing upon the question, and all the
data of interest by which such proceedings are sus-
tanned, evidently desiring that the people shall have
some knowledge of passing events, which is a ne
feature in our restricted press, and speaks pewer
fully in favor of the intelligence and liberal views
of General Jose de la Concha, Governor of Cuba
| and head of the censorship of the press.
Archibald Bullock, formerly collector at savsn
nah, died there on Wednesday last.

CLEANING OUT DoCKs.-The State mud machine

work in progress, the steamboats, usually landing
at this wharf are moored either in the basin, or at
some adjoining pier.
