It would appear by the following, copied from the Charleston Patriot of the 1st instant, that Santa Anna has not been captured, as was reported by an arrival at New Orleans from Mexico:
We learn from Capt. Peterson, of the brig Naiade, from Vera Cruz, that Santa Anna had attacked, at the head of 4000 men, 1500 of which were cavalry, the town of Puebla—but he was driven back by the revolutionists. Santa Anna, it is said, would endeavor to make his escape either by the way of Vera Cruz or Tuspan. The day previous to the sailing of the Naiad, about 350 volunteers arrived from Alvarado and 1500 were expected from Campeachy in the steamer Montezuma, which, with those already in Vera Cruz, would present a formidable front against any force the Dictator might march against that city. The revolutionists were in hot pursuit of Santa Anna, and certain death awaited him should he fall into their hands. A National Guard, similar to the French National Guard, had been established by the revolutionists, throughout Mexico, and all Foreign citizens were called upon to defend themselves: notwithstanding the revolution was spreading with rapidity throughout the republic, Santa Anna was still surrounded with a number of influential friends.
