santa Anna not yet OverthroWn.


Our special express from the south arrived yes
terday afternoon, with New Orleans papers of the
l4lh, and Mobile papers Of the 18th, one day in ad
vance Of the mail.


They contain intelligence from Mexico of
highly important and interesting nature.


II appears by the accounts from Vera Cruz,
which are to the 9Th inst, that Santa Anna is not
wholly lost, and our next advices may even con-
tain the intelligence OF his complete restoration to
the government-perchance to absolute power.
Such an event is not at all improbable in the pre-
sent state of Mexico.


This shrewd General. with his one leg may yet
prove too much for the new government. He has
courage, and tact, and perseverance,, and, accord
ing TO all accounts, those who compose his present
army are warmly attached to him, and the leg thar
he lost in battle at Vera Cruz. They will there
fore fight bravely, and as they opposed to Mex
leans, the whole difficulty is likely be settled by
the superior skill Of the commanding General oil
either side. One battle will decide all.


This intelligence is so interesting that we annex
copious details.
