ANTONIA LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
El Diario del Gobierno of Mexico, Oct.
27th, has the following paragraph ivhioh
the New York Sun translates :
It is said that the American steam
ers anchored at the Isle Verde have only
coal for a few days ; that the crews of
the squadron are mostly sick with the mi
scurvy, and that the government of the "'
United States have already spent seventy
five million dollars in the war. To de-
lay is a triumph on our part, as we have
before said;and if we are only fortunate
enough to hinder our enemy a little lon
ger by skirmishes, and other obstacles,
we shall soon see them retire from our
country." .
Accounts from Yucatan arc filled with
enthusiasm in the cause of Mexico.—
Rumors of an attempt to re.capture•
Monterey were circulating; but not
credited.
Mexican letters from Chihuahua speak -
despondingly as to the ability of the
State to resist Gen. Wool's forces.
The other items of news refer to dis
sentions, efforts to excite the people to
support the war, and the garrisoning of
Vera Cruz.
We append the following letter from
Vera Cruz, dated the 31st ultimo :
VERA CRUZ, Oct. 31, 1846.
A conducta arrived at Mexico, on the
20th inst. from Guanajuato, with about
$1,200,000, so that money was again
abundant there. Another has left San
Luis de Potosi on the 16th instant, for
Tampico, with upwards of a million, and
was to arrive at the end of the month.
The British sloop Electia has sailed to
Tampico, probably on purpose to receive
on board the specie for shipment. Two
private conductas arrived here from
Mexico,
with silver bars and about 200,
000 hard dollars.
At the middle of the month, private
letters from Mexico stated that Mr.
BANKIIEAD had offered the mediation of
England, and that Ministers had been
in session for two days to deliberate on 'I ,
the subject, but nothing further has
transpired since.
LETTERS OF MARQUE.—The New Or
leans Times, extra, says :
A private letter was received yester
day from the city of Mexico, under dato
of the 30th ult., and forwarded to Vera
Cruz by special express mentioning that
the Mexican Government had Issued
three hundred letters of marque, accom- ,
panied with tho rights of citizenship
for the respective crews, and that ne
cessary documents would be transmit
ted by the British steamer Tay' to Ha
vana."
This information is said to bo unde.
niably authentic.
Official information had been received
at the city of Mexico on the 29th ult.
from San Luis Potosi, where Santa Anna
had taken up his headquarters, and was
concentrating his forces. It was an
nounced that he had about 20,000 men
with him, and had ordered the entire .
Mexican forces to meet him there, with*
a view of marching upon Gen. Taylor,
and crushing the American army. He •
had decided on abandoning Tampico,
without making any resistance ; sines
he has not a disposable force, sufficient
ly numerous, to garrison it at all points,
and by evacuating it, he shall strengthen
his own army and weaken Gen. Taylor's
who will be obliged to detach a 4onsid•
erable body of troops to take possession
lof it and hold it.
