Mr. Puinsct‘. had an Interview with:
General Santa Anna in 1823. He nuw}
and judged oi hitii lrre from the Value glut-cl
ol high position and extended reputation.
Santa Anna was then only a colonel ol a
regiment. Mr. I’oinsett was particularly
struck with his high bearing and pollilit‘tl
mannt‘rfl. M’me Calderon de la Barca
bears the same testimony"; the grace. ease
.and naturalness ol his nninneru. and the
‘lltnughtlulness and relinue which are no
striking in llii countenance: and on this
subject there is no nuthortty so conclusivei
us that ol a well bred and accomplished
lady. I have won no countenance. ex
~cept that of General Jackson, whose range
ofuprcsston WM so great. where there
one so great a difference between the nut
ct expression 0! the face when at rest and l
in a gentle mood and it: terrible ferocity
when highly excited. The wildness dti
the lamb and the fierueneus ol the enraged l
tiger would not much too attnnul)‘ express‘
this difference. Such is his character. by
nature kindand aflcctionute, but subject
to bursts olpasslon fiery and fierce. He
is a Spaniard; a race which, with its ma.
ny noble traits ol character. is everywhere
regarded as more than ordinarily sanguin
ary ; perhaps not more so by nature than
others. The Spaniards have been from
theearlieot period engaged in civil wars,
and civil wars are every where sanguine
r] to a proverb. That between the Goths
and Moorelasted [or eight hundred Vears,
and there were elements In that prdtrnct
ed contest calculated to increase even the
characteristic ferocity of civil “are. It
was a religious mm. and more even than
that, it was a war of races. The civil war
‘bctween the mother country and Mexico,
memocmtic ’ Gamma:
liri which Snntn Anna was bred, was not
the heat ptifisible school for lessons til cle
mency. No quarter was genernlly the
law of that war, at least on the part oi
Spain, and almost the only lnw which
Spain respected. It would be strange in
deed. il ope brought up in a school should
not have committed some ncts not titrlctly
contormable to our notion“. Yet. I he

Among the prisoners taken at Mier. was
:i very shrewd and handsome boy. of about
fifteen )ears of age. John Hill. On their
arriVal in Mexico, this boy was not closely
confined as the other prisoners were. and
he came to see me. and requested that]
“cold ask the Prestdent to release him.—
I told him to go himself, and l was sure
that Santa Anna uriiild he more apt to do it
on his nun application than on mine.
A few days afterwards the little fellow
returned tu‘iny house very handsomely
dressed, and told me that he had been lib
stated, and gave me the fullonintz account
ofvtliat htid pas-ed between himself and
the President. When he requested Santa
Anna to release him. the latter rsplted:—
'- Why, if I do you will come back and
tight me again. The Santa Fe prisoners
“ere released on their parole of honor not
to bear arms again against Mexico. and it
Has not three months until half of them
had invaded the country again; and they
toil me that you killed several of my Mex
icans at Mit'r." The little fellow replied
thallie did not ltnmv how many he had
killed. hut that he had fired fifteen or twen
ty times during the battle. ' Very well.’
said Santa Anna. ' I will release you. and
a hat is more, I will adopt you as my son,
and educate and prniide for you as such.‘
’l'hehuy was sent to the house of Gene
ral 'l‘ornel. the Minister of War, and was
ieally adopted on a ftill footing of equality
in his family. and treated with the most on
rental kindness. lle “as afterwards pia

son. Some time after his own discharge.
little Hill came to me. to request thatl
would obtain the release of his father: I
told him no. that he was a more suzcess
ful negotiator than I was, to try his own
hand again.' He did so, and obtained at
once the release of his father, and after
wards ofa brother. who was also among
the prisoners.
During the war in Yucatan. the govern
ment of Mexico was in a great exigeucy
fortliiity or forty thousand dollars. Mr.
llargoos. an American niotchant at Vsia
Cruz. advanced the money tipon the per
sonal pledge of Santa Anna. that it should
he paid at a stipulated time at the custom
house in Vera Cruz. Mr. Hargoos. at the
timc appointed. presented his order and
was refused payment. A few days after
wards, Santa Anna trait in Vera Cruz. and
Mr. H. called to see him. antlinformed him
that ho had presented the order which he
had given htm.'and that payment had been
refused, the officer of the custom-house say
ing that he did so by the orders 'of Santa
Anna—~whicb Mr. Hargoqs said he did
not believe. Santa Anna said that he had
given such orders. that there was no mon
ey in the treasury toi'pay the army. nut e
nough even to purchase their rations, and
i that he must wait until it was more conve
nient to pay him. llnrgoos. very much

‘ Gonllemen. have you heard the language
which this man has used to me?‘ llargoos
said, ' I come from a country where no

has many great faults and some VICCS both
