The Case Of Santa Anna.

An important memorandum from the Hon.
VIM H. Seward, Secretary Of State, in refer
ence to the capture OF Santa Anna has been
published, which shows that our government
had thing to do with the enterprise Of San.
ta Anna, and that he went on shore Of bis own
accord. The ia paper uestion Is in reply to the
application OF Mr.. NapheKyi in behalf OF San.
Ia Anna. The memorandum gives q full his
tory of the operations of Santa Anna from his
arrival at Vera Cruz to his capture at Sisal,
showing that he pretenoed at Vera Cruz to be
backed by the United States and that his OBJ.
ject was in support OF Maximilian, and that at
Sisal he voluntarily placed himself in the
hands Of the liberals. Mr. Naphegyi's state
ceived at the State Department from official
sources at Vera Cruz and Sisal.
The memorandum concludes: sTkere seems
no reason to question the authenticity Of these
letters. II autnenic, they prove that at the
port of Sisal, whether exactly within the Mex.
lean jurisdiction or just beyond II, General
Santa Anna was In command of the same mill.
tary armed expedition against the rppubl Of
Mexico which he had prepared within and
conducted from the shores Of the United States
TO Vera Cruz. in violat on of their neutrality
ty and friendship, and also, 80 far as he sphere
Of moral influence is concerned, within the re.
lation Of allies. They prove also that although
Capt Deacken perhaps In the interest Of New
York creditors. protested. Senor Santa Anna
voluntarily disenbarked at Sisal, and went
into the camp OF the defenders of the republic
of Mexico. During a considerable part Of the
period in which Mexico has been the theatre of
civil war, an armed military and naval force
las been maintained by the United States on
the Rio Grande and in the waters around the
ports o: Mexico, among other purposes. to
prevent and defeat invasion of tina. republic
by any military and naval expeditions which
might be set On foot in the United States
We are officially informed that Senor Santa
Anna, after having landed at Ssal, in con-
.ormity with his engagements, was sent for
ward by the military commandant at SisaI to
the care OF Gen. FerOZa, the Governor Of Yu.
catan, and is detained in custody with a view
10 the safety OF the Republic OF Mexico Upon
this review Of the facts, il seems proper that
the Government should wait for further and
more definite information before entering n Don
comm IN cations, In relation to the complaints
of Mr.. Naphegyi. with the Government OF
Mexico That nation seems al last to have
triumphed over all it's internal and foreign
enemies and to have reached a crisis WHEN, If
left alone. ii may be expec'ed to restore tran.
guilty and reOrganize itself upon permanent
foundation of union, freedom and repu blican
government. Only some great national injury,
wrong or offensive, would justify this Gov
ernment in suddenly assuming q hostile or
even an unfriend,y attitude towards the Re.
public Of Mexico.

MACHINE CIGARs-A German machine for
making cigars. patented in this country, is in
operation in Detroit. 1t is claimed for this
machine that the tobacco can be worked MP
dry: that when the cigar is made it is ready
for use; that cigars can he made al half the
price they can by hand, and that all the stock
can be worked mp. It requires forty five ex.
perienced cigar makers to put on the outside
wrappers as fast as they are made BY the ap-
paratne, which can without difficulty make
twenty. five thousand cigars every ten hours
This is equal TO the average work OF ninety or
one hundre persons.
