Vera Lituz, ov. 21, 1844. Since mine of yesterday raorning, we have receivcd the most astounding intelligencCjmore han corifirming the reporte from the interior hen detailed. Couners were arriving here 'esterday evening and Jast night, announcing evolt aftnr revolt. Seven departments or tates have declared against Santa Anna, and ie is reponed to have taken flight for this ity, on hís way tothe leland of Cuba, where e will probably seeka temporary asylum. - am not without hope tbat we may be able o restore the constitution of 1824, overthrowng the present union of Church and State, which is sucking our life blooá) and obtain a jovernmont more like that under which yoa of he North repose in peace. God grant that ve miy be successf ui. The states now against Santa Anna, arer - Guanaxiiata, Xalisco, (or Guadalaxara,) San Luis Poto6, Zacetecas, Durungo, Queretaro and Mechoacan, being he 6even principal 6tates of Central Mexco. The states of Mexico and Vera Cruz, garisoned as they are by Santa Anna'a favorite roops (whom he has paid weü and1 taken good care of, each soldier being provided with mistress,) have declared against the revoluion. We have jet to hear from the South, North and West. With valiant and atriotic Yucatán, Tabasco and Chiapas in the outh; Chihuahua, Sonura and) tiinaïoa, New Vlexico, Santa Fe and California ín the north nd north west, the revolution will be comlete. I do not think tbere is a doubt ful state mong Ihem. While on his way to Xahsco, to put down redes, intending to march througii the city f Mexico. Santa Anna reccived the accounts 'rorn the interior, and with it the report that je army of the Revolution mimbered thirty housand men-, This inteJIigener, with signs f discontent greeting ftim1 ii every direction, re bal.il y caused his retreat. Thecommiileeof inrestrgation in Congress, o which was referred the charge against him f embezzling fivo millions of 'dollars from ie public Treasury, have not vet leporled. -In aiiticipaiion of that report, he had resolved upon test ing the etrength of his opponents discharging Gen. Arista froni the com.nont of the Northern división of the army, threal entng Paredes with a Court Martial and court ing their opposition with the hope of gaining new ]aurels:n the warofextermmation against all who opposed him. Returning to Mexico as a conqueror, he expected to bc able to bring Copgress into his views. Should ihe fates be against him, he will retire to Spain, or perhnps to England, where he has invested five or six niillions of dollars upon vvhich he can live comfortably for the rest of his days. Proin the N. O. Picayune, Dec. 2. Revolution in Mkxico. - The reports which had before reachèd us of the exient of the disaffection in Mexico, are fully confirmed. Things rcally look more Fquully for Santa Anna than we anticipaled lliey wou]l, and the revolution has a shnpe more f'orinida ble than first nppearances warranled. The following letter whioh we Frive received, written by a well informed gentleman trnvelling in Mexico for his health, may give some idea of the difficulties with which Santa Anna is surrounded and the precanoua tenure bv wbich he now hold his power: Jalapa, Nov. 20, 1844. Eds. Picayune: - From all accounts it would seem that the whole interior is up in arms against S,.nta Anna, wnh Gen. Paredes at the head of the revolutionary force. The States of Jalisco, San Luis, Aguas-Cnlientes, Guanajuato and Queretaro haveulready declared against Sants Anna and every post brings intelligence of disaffections in other qnarterp. - A passenger just arrived from Vera Cruz saye that the garrison there has declured for Santa Anna, but there were many who theuht the soldiers were ready to tlirow up their cap6 for Paredes, should half a chance occur. Santa Anna is on his inarcli townrds Mexico with 6,000 men, and at the last accounts was near the city; but the desertions Trom his Tanks had been immense, üne regiment, numbering, 800 men, has been reduced to its officers avd Jour priva tes by this means. The cause of the dictator certainly Jooks desperate, and many confidently look for his total overthrow." In cofirmation of the views oxpressed in the conclusión of this letter, we have seen another letter received by a commercial house in this city from Vera Cruz, nhich mentions thntarumor prevails that Santa Auna 'had been compelled to fnll back in his ná vanee upon Mexico, by the number who had anayed thenuelves against him, and that he was in full retreat for Jalapa, if not Vera Cruz. - It is lated with confidence that he would not be received in the Jatter city, a proportion of the populction be'wg earnestly opposed to his comination, although the garrison, which is in his pay, would fand by him.
