Of mon who more than any other, look upon the at-
tudo of the United states likely 10 have decisive
effect uon the desucs OF Mexico. 1t viii not be use
less perhaps 10 say q word Of The motives attributed 20
lis present movements and Of his ultimate designs as they
are reported the various circles in which Santa Anna
friends are obviously az wk. Most Of the reports heaI
are justified by the presence OF The eX-Deiaof VINO Au
earthly motives TO give up his rejldence az San
Thomas had he been acting under certain influences
which am about 70 speak Of
San Thomas for the express purpose OF inviting Santa
Anna visit the United States. The Secretary OF State
may have been willing to have an enemy OF MaHullAn
in Washington O retaliation for the kind reception
Louis Napoleon granted the ex-kobel Shdeu lie may
also have cherished the idea OF having under his thumb
a Mexican hrcbnnd who has iCit strong H.

Both supposoas are probable enough and II |ouio as

Wbaever may be the truth involved in these reports II
is undemabe that Santa Anna Is railing himself oi them
