SANTA ANNA CHANGES HIS RESIDENCE.


General Santa Anna has vacated his house in
West Twenty y-eighth street, and taken up his resi-
dence with MIR. G. Naphegy at the latter's
splendid mansion Hamilton Park, Staten
determined to make an effort in behalf of free
ing his country whether the leaders of the Libe-
Ial party are or are not desrous of his services.
HIS HEADQUARTERS.
At Hamilton Park he is said to have organized
q regular business bureau; his secretaries and
the other members of his suite are in constant
activity, and several heads of departments of
the Mexican republic, IN tuturo, have already
been appointed. The letters and business docu
ments despatched rom the Bureau have the
following heading:-
REPUBLIoA MExICANA.
GENERAL EN- IEFE DEL EJERCITo LIBERTADoR.
CUARTEL-GEN NUEvA YORK.
Translation.
MEXICAN REPUBLIC.
GENERALIN-CHIEF OF THE LIBERATING ARMY.
HEADQUARTERS, NEW YORK, etc.
PARTIES INTERESTED.
The time of the General is occupied from
morning to night in secret conference with
people from various parts of the country, all
touching upon the interests of the Mexican re-
public. There is lively correspondence main
talned between Santa Anna and some OF the
heads OF departments at Washington. Secretary
Seward is particularly said 10 be much interested
in the new movements on foot. 1t is gwen upon
reliable authority that within a week
THREE LARGE STEAMERS
of good capacity and excellent sea-going quail
ties have been purchased for the use of the en-
brvo republic. They are held in readiness to
start TO sea at moments notice, but whether
they are designed Tor a quiet trip TO st. Thomas,
the former residence of the General, or for a
much more important service, viz, the trans
portation of men and ammunition te distracted
Mexico, has not yet transpired. In view of these
facts, the latter service for the vessels would
seem highly probable.
FENIANs EsPoUsE THE CAUSE.
But the most remarkable circum stance con.
nected with this new movement OF Santa Anna
Is that the cunning old patriot has enlisted the
powerful aid of the Fenian brotherhood IN the
cause. He has had several protracted conte.
renCes with
ROBERTS, SWEENEY, AND OTHER FBNIAN CHIEFS
and has laid matters in such favorable light
before them that these gentlemen have shut
their eyes to the advantages of Canada, and are
now Zealously educating the Irish in the belief
that Mexico is the country especially designated
by Providence as the best fitted Tor the develop
ment and nurture of the Milesian race.
SANTA Annals MOTIVES.
Santa Anna asserts that he has taken this
matter in hand merely from the purest motives
of patriotism, and that he has no connection
whatever with anv political society at present
existing in Mexico. He has been urged to this
course at the earnest solicitation of the solid
and thinking men of his country, who have
viewed with pain the vacillating and ruinous
policy of the rulers who have held sway since
Santa Anna was at the mead of affairs.
The fighting Fenians have long held the no
ton that their ability and soldtership might be
turned to profitable account in having promI-
| ncnt hand in the liberation of Mexico, and
| when such wary and experienced diplomatist
| rs Santa Anna, and such a powerful chief as
President, Roberts are in league for a common
| cause we may be on the qul Uiue for important
| and speedy action.
WHAT COLONEL ROBERTS SAYS.
! Colonel Roberts, President of the Fenau
| Brotherhood when called on yesterday stated
! that a number of interviews had taken place
between himself and General Santa Anna, seve
raj of which we're of private and persona
| character and the balance were in rela ion to
! pubic matters, of which he was not then at
| liberty to give the details.-N Y Herald.
