BRITISH INTRIGUES IN IkxAs.-Ihc aulnentclIy
OF the information which we published couple OF
days since, disclosing certain private negotiations
which have been discovered between Santa Anna
and the British government, relative to the acqu-
sltion of the CALIFORNIA; by the latter power has
been denied by several OF our contemporaries, and
particularly by the philosophers who do the hum
bug OF the Commercial advertiser and of the Morm-
ing Nstes The denial of the former is rather de-
cent, but that OF the latter phlosopher-hm of the
Ne'cs was coupled with mean and contemplate
personalities applied to our correspondent which no
gentleman would or could think Of uttering


In reply to all these envious, snarlBg, imbecile
chaps, we have merely to say that the information
which we published was perfectly authentic as
coming from the Department OF State. In addi-
non to the information received direct from
washington, we have corroborating evidence of its
accuracy from another source. few DAYS ago
the barque "Ann Louisa" arrived at this port from
Vera Cruz, consigned to the highly respectable
commercial house of Hargous u Co. We are in
formed that previous to the sailing OF this vessel
British steamer arrived at Vera Cruz, before the
capture OF Santa Anna bringing dispatches tor him
from the British government. The new govern
ment opposed to Santa Anna, having possession OF
Vera Cruz, took possession also of the dispatches,
on which it was at once discovered that secret me-
gotiations had been going on between Santa
Anna and the British Minister for the giving up OF
California TO the British government This intel
lgence was well known in Vera Cruz, and reached
the ears of the master of the barque" Ann LOUISA"
who was not, however, fully aware Of its import
ance, and did not report it his arrival here. But
the intelligence has been in possession of the De-
parment of State at Washington for some time
This is not all. In very brief space of time the
whole of these facts will be disclosed to the public
in an official shape, and tissue OF intrigue be re-
vealed TO the world in connection with the British
government and Santa Anna, that will create great
er astonlshment than any thing yet that we have
seen on this subject. Certain movements are now
Washington as now organized, which will lead to
most important events hereafter, provided Mr..
Polk makes q due selection Of his cabinet min.
isters


We believe, indeed, that we are now in most
important crisis connected with the destiny Of re-
publican government, and the independence of the
United States on this continent. There Is every
reason to believe that the powers of Europe have
been weaving web Of subtle policy, for the pur-
pose of arrestng the progress of this country and
of encompassing it with governments under their
control, for the ultimate end of putting down all
popular government this side of the Atlantic for
fear of its creating revolution on the other side
brief space of time will reveal wonders on these
matters.
