WASHINGTON, June 10, 1S66.-The inter-
est created by SANTA ANNA's visit in the
| United States has not abated since my last.
! People continue to watch his movements
with much curiosity, and our Washington
politicians, with degree of anxiety which
the reputation enjoyed by the General of
] having ten millions of dollars deposited in
the Bank of London, and of being here with
the intention of expanding one or two natu-
rally explains. Until now, however, ne has
not deemed it advisable to try the effect Of
| his money.
Meanwhile, the General spends his day
in giving receptions, and in communicating
to his numerous visitors his intentions in
reference to Mexico, as well as his general
views of men and things Of that country.
Although the part he has played in the his
tory of Mexico oftentimes induces him to
put himself forward with a kind of self
complacency, it is impossible not to listen
| with great deal of interest to his state
ments concerning the reconstruction of a
republican form of government, and in
reference TO the elements constituting Mexi-
can nationality at the present time.
As a cure for the existing anarchy, SANTA
ANNA proposes the establishment of a strong
but just Government, based upon the protec-
ton Of all legitimate interests; govern
ment of constitutions and laws, in which life
and property shall be safe, and the honor of
the flag respected The elements for such
Government are abundant and it needs only
to offer them that security they require to
see them come forward and tender it their
support and influence. That government
must be republican in its constitutive princi-
piles, but autocrat IN its form. Everything
for the people, nothing by the people; such
is the principle on which il must rest. The
church will be its head, The army its right
arm, the Judiciary its support. The church
will pray, the army fight, the Judiciary alb
solve or condemn, according to the case.-
The mass of the people swayed by religion,
the nobility held in respect by the army, the
disturbers of public peace frightened by
prompt and severe justice, Will become as
mild as lambs and live tremendously in the
present and in the future. In this manner
peace and order will prevail, and Mexico,
restored to the blessings of an Immaculate
government and of an enlightened religion,
will be the happiest and greatest country on
earth.
The plan of SANTA ANNA for carrying
out this programme is simple. One of its
essential conditions is, however. complete
association of principles and interests be-
tween the United States and Mexico upon
the following basis The United States to
advance to him, SANTA ANNA, 81 600, COO
and 5000 men in exchange for which he will
swear eternal gratitude to the American
Nation and give it in security certain Mex
lean provinces and territories. The contract
once sealed General SANTA ANNA will i'm
mediately start for Mexico, where his pres
ence, his men, and his million will create
quite an enthusiasm. According to his own
statement, the church will take him by the
hand, the army will PROSTATE itself at its
feet, and the best part of the Liberal party,
renouncing its present leaders, will form an
intimate alliance with him. As to the I'm
perialists who stuck to MAMMALIAN, not
through love but through fear and compul-
sion, they will be too happy to place them
selves under protection of the General and
to abandon a cause without a dignity or
strength in the present or prospect in the
future.
Such are the general outlines of SANTA
ANNHs plan, which he deems exceedingly
simple and easy One million of dollars
for the expulsion of the French, the restora-
ton of social and political order under
republican form of government, is certainly
very low figure. Possibly some one of
our capitalists might advance it for him,
taking a mortage, not upon a Mexican
province, for the security might be uncer-
tain, but upon the $4,000, 600 SANTA ANNA
has on deposit in the Bank of London.
The Juarists are greatly irritated
against SANTA Annals last address to the
Mexican people. ROMERO is now preparing
an answer to it; and NovARRo, JUAREz's
consul in New York, is engaged in the
same work. Both will be ready in the
course of eight or ten days.
