ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
To General Dor IGnAcIo DE YNCrAN.


| II may be that this is only ruse on the part OF
| Santa Anna to gain time, in order to strike more
| decisive blow He is too shrewd tactician not
to check mate in brief delay. 1t is very evi
/ dent, however, that thus far he has had the wors
of the fight and has been driven into diplomacy
| This movement of his makes the struggle in
Mexico more interesting, and increases the ankle
| ty for later advices.


| The Mexican steamer Montezuma arrived in
Vera Crnz with troops from Campeachy, the
Ramon came out. These troops were to oppose
Santa Anna, and protect Vera Cruz.

/ VERA CRUZ, Jan. 13, 1S45.
| DEAR SIR This city IS still IN state OF great
| excitement. Citizens and the military are on guard
| every night. Santa Anna attacked Pue bla on the
9th inst, butwase1riven off with some loss. o.
| the 9th he again attacked it, and was again
| pulsed. In the last attack he lost eight hundred
men. He then retired to small town near Perote
and thence sent three commissioners TO- the CITY OF
M-xico, To offer to surrender on conditions. Find
| Ing that fighting will not avail him, he resorts to
diplomacy to save his head.


The Anahuac has not yet commenced dis
charging.

| Gen Santa Anna, after having made FIVE differ
| ent attacks on the city OF Pue bla, and being re-
pulsed In each attack with some considerable loss
mas been obliged to decamp, with all his trooos
| (some four thousand men,) and, according to thu
latest news from JaIapa. Is on his way to this city
nut must first pass d. file about Is miles from j..
lapa, which is well fortified, and commanded by
Gea Jose Rincon IN person. II Santa Anna should
| be successful here, he will again meet with obs a
| cles from the troops stationed In Peroie Ma
uonals. after passing which place there will b
nothing to prevent his coming to withit
three miles of this city. Here the for,6caiion,
although not complete, sufficiently we'll attend.
ed 10 prevent his taking the city; but possibly, he


way be able to effect his escape on board an


eaglish frIgate, stationed at Sacraticios, with or
ders, as report says, to receive him, and prote CT
his person. Should he, however, determine to be-.
siege the place, General Bravo, and Par-des, whe
left Puebla on the 10Th inst, with 10000 gooc
soldiers, between cavalry and infantry, will very
soon be on his rear, and his fate must be deter
mined; and II taken prlsener, as he Is lmmensey y
rich, having, as is positively known, more than
twelve millions OF dollars in England, it is more
than probable, that by using this money in good


way, be viii save his own and the lives of his oi


cers; although, by his more thaa brutal coxduct in


Pnebla he has forfeited all claim to the indulgence
feither Mexlcans or foreigners.


The officers commanding the city are Gems.
Nora and Hunandes; the castle is under command
OF Gen. Juan Sotos most sterling man, and an
inveterate enemy Of Santa Anna.


VERA CRUZ, JAN. IA, 1345.
In the course OF the night, we learn by
an express from Jalapa. that Santa Anna has


Bravo nor Paredes had left Puebla on the 18TH inst,


and even among the most sarguine friends of the


movement against Santa Anna, it is believed there


'san intrigue going on to save him and his officers,
which Will be the fore-runner of fresh out break
that Will cost an immense deal OF bloodshed.
Destructive FIRE.-At four o'clock yesterday
morning, terrible fire was discovered 10 be raging
in the block Of buildings occupied as the Tribun,

sumed with al they contained. Mr.. Graham lost no
only his stock, but $4O0 in cash and his gold watch
and narrowly escaped with his life by leaping GU

Hall, whlchsadjoined the burned buildings in the
rear, were alarmed in the midst of their revelry
when all was going on "merry as marriage bell, ;
and we understand that the rear of old Tammauy
got severe scorching. Some insurance is effected
upon these buildings, but nothing like the actual
