 The Washington Union publishes an in- ierssssag s<tsscs of ietisfy addressed to . gentleman in Wnshinas0n bv an intelligent observer at Havana. It represents the ex. isting state of afaifs in Mexico in light much more sombrs than 1t is seen through the medinm ofseither shs Mexican or Ha- vana papers. Gen. Santa Anna, according to the writer, has but about fifteen thousand men with him at San Luis Po,osi. He rep- resents that the army is in . great measure made up of military loafers or sans calotes ' that the clergy and the holders of property are opposed b the war--thal Santa Anna could not make raise Of million loan, of which he stood m immediate need--that the stepping aside of Almonte means something of which we have not heard--that the troops in Vera Cruz are badly paid and worse fed, numbering three thousand five hundred, and the castle about eleven hundred, with pro- visions only for a month al time-that Vera Cruz was indignant against Santa Anna and his government, which was manifested by their late unaaimous vote Tol Herrera and that all the extra defence that has been made about the walls of Vera Crnz, are that holes have been dug near together along the wall, and bikes put into them and covered over with prickly pears, so that in marching up our troops would fall into them; but we, says the writer, could soon lay plank over them.
