The Voice Of Freedom

Very Late from Mexico. We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr Tripler, a passenger in the schooner F. A. Brown, arrived yesterday from Havana, for the information which follows:--

Mr Tripler left Vera Cruz for Havana on the 2d inst. in the British mail steamer Dee, which vessel reached Havana on the 7th inst. At the last accounts, Santa Anna was at San Martin de Sesmolica about four leagues from Puebla, with a force of about 6000 men, mostly mounted on horses taken from the inhabitants. Gen. Paredes being in close pursuit with an army of 9000 men maneuvering and avoiding a conflict as a matter of policy, as Santa Anna's forces were daily decreasing on account of desertions from his ranks, while Gen Paredes was rapidly acquiring strength.

The city of Mexico had been well fortified and every precaution taken to prevent or repel an assault. The aqueducts had been opened and the moat which surrounds the city filled with water, and there was a force of 30,000 armed citizens prepared to defend it

A decree had been issued by the Mexican Congress declaring Santa Anna a traitor and an outlaw, and authorising any who may meet with him to take his life. Measures have also been adopted to prevent his escape, by guarding the different seaports and other outlets, and it is believed that he must eventually be captured.

Mr Tripler states that the whole country is in a state of the utmost confusion -robberies of travelers were committed daily, and he himself was twice stripped of whatever was about him in his progress through Mexico. The new government would be as much. if not more opposed to the annexation of Texas, as the former, and Americans are held in great abhorrence, and receive frequent insults at the hands of the Mexicans.-- Charleston Courier.
