We were disappointed, as is usual in al! Spacish coun- tries, in govting our horses to leave Carthagena or the evening of the 8th; but they arrived curing the a'ht, and before sunrise on the following morning we ware in the saddle, Gar baggage wa3 also placsdon the tacks of horses and asses; and as several friends accompanied us a few leeguos, cavsleace that locked more like Chaucer's Canterbury company translated into Spanish. rode forth from tbe ancient looking city of Carthagens, We ar® bound ‘or Bogota, the capital of New Granada, ani our company consists of General Mosquera—o! whom I have already spoken—two deputies to Congress fromth's pro vince, a physician, 8 young gentieman zeturning home from 4 tour in Europe, your humble servant, and severa otber peoplo’s servants, with the usual atiendance of carriers end Crivers for the burden beasts, ‘neluting friecds and attendants there were not less than dfty horsemen in the party, and as we rede through the city, gathestng these who were on the point of departure, the fair acquaintances of each waved their haudkerchie's and sped us on our way with mazy an adios from the overhanging balconies. Among the animals was one Irttle Jackass, whove burden to the uaused eye was strange enough. Two stiongly nailed boxes which he bore esrried four thousand dollars in ailver, being a z+tnittaace to rcma one at Bogota. Aplensantride cf two hours brought uato Turbaeo, where our tends, who were to return had ordered & ous farewell breakfast. ‘This village, four leagues from Certhngena, is the present residence cf . Santa Anna, ex-Dictator cf Mexico. After wo honored the preparations wrich our friends hag made for us, and for whieh our ride Lad given us keen appetites, about a dozen of us lighted our negers and proceeded to call upon the man who has played so uous @ part in Mexican effairs. His house, which arge one story stone building, in the old Spanish strle, with colonade, carriage entrance and ga:cens, hes a very agreeable aspect in the midst of the poor shatched housen cf the people among whom ho lives. We wore ushered into the great parlor, which cesupies near'y the entire front of the house, and the Ceneral formed of our arrival. The walls were papered to eight of about five feet from the fioor, with an ele- gant Srench paper, gold figure on @ blue ground, with crimson border, and the wnlte epace above was relieved by several colored French prints in risin frames. A rosewood piano was standing ops, with some Loose eheets of music on it; two or three sofas anda dozen of mahogany cane rest chairs were ranged around, and acccen the egatre of the room, between the two great doors, Opeaing one upon the street and the other upon ® green sward court yard, stood, facing cach other, two rows of arm and rocking chairs, with a marble top cent:e table between them, upon which stocd a vase of flowers. The whole arrangement had an air of quiet ond tropical comfort that was very plensing. ictator appeared almost immediately. I had known him ten years eince, in Havana, and hed expects to Sind him much changed; but if thore wae acy altera- tiou it was for the better. He has all the appearance of & well preserved man of fifty, about five feet tenor eleven inches in height, with @ large robust person, erect and romewhat rovund; bia eyes are dark, and the projecting brow gives them # sunkea appearance, making their color changeable with the varying licht; complexion fixe cliva, no whiskors or mostache, and, with the excep ticn of a few crow’s feet about the corners of the syes, a0 wrinkles are to be seen about bis face or brow: his keir is of a light iron gray color, but [am told he uses a dyo for it, He entered the room siowl7, walking with some apparent Iabor and quite lamely, using a cane, His dress was that of a plain Southern gentiemsn; panta- loona Of a emall check on a brown ground; light vect) thin brown coat, loose neck cloth anc well rade boots, The only ornament was a pin of large brilliants in his ‘bosom. From his reference to dates during the conver- sation, I deduced his age to be fifiy-nine, and in reply to the question, he told me that his birth day was the 2lst of February. He received us with all the stately courtesy of a Span- ish hidalgo of the old school, saluting and shaking hands with esch person, and taken invited us to be seated, His conversation was addressed principal- ly to Gon. Mosquera, who listened with pollte attention, though with frequent frank dissent, stating that he was @ thorougi: democrat in principle and in practice; und he seemed to express his sentiments with great frankness. As I bad addressed him in Spanish, and mentioned the fact of ny having met him in Havana, he probably mia- took me for a Cuban, and J was afterwards informed that he expressed a regret, on learning that I was an Ameri- can, that ho had spoken so freely of the United States, An he only expressed political sentiments which his whole public career has exhibited to the world, I had no ground for {ll feoling, and believe that I am not infring- ing apon the rules of gentlemanly courtesy fa giving your readers a short sketch of his remarks. His first inquiry, after the outer bark of conversation had worn off, was in reforence to the news from Europe, and he expressed the opinion tnat the present hopes of peace were fallacious. He spoke of the contending par- ties with what seemed to me good judgment, and re- marked that Russia did not feel the weight of the war to the same extent as do the Allfes {n their resources, alihough the emorifice of Ife and treasure had been im- mense on both sides. He asked if the peopie of the Valted Staton contioued w catestaln a grenies Aympathe: “wealth a ‘or Russia than for the Allies, and remarked that it wis ‘teange tonee democracy and autocrsey thus eympat i ing, The conversation soon turned to Mexico, and he spoke of his own career at some length. He entere! the Spanish anny asa cadet in 1810, at the age of four teon, and served for ten years, during which time the re- publican forces under Guadalape Vistoria and Guerrera were entizely crushed. He had risen in rank and at- tained some distinction, when in 1821 he joined the or- ganization that proclaimed the Plan de Iguala, the vowed object of which wae to overthrow the Spanish colonial government and p!ace some European prince up- on the iadepentent throze of Mexico, ‘The plaa was sworn to on Christmas eve of 1821, and Tcurkice weat to the Wea: to pronounce, and he to th? isouta te xivetheecho. The movement was completely suc ceeeful, ecd in nine months the Spanish forces, uumber- ing sighty thousard men, wera annihilated. Hesiated that Le was led to join this movement by his love for hi couutzy aad the persuasion of his frends, who urged him to it, seying that he would become the Washington of Mexico, an] establish the happiness of his native lacd When !turbide crowned himself, to the surpriae ot mazy, if not all of those who had cupperted him, he was dis- appointed and chagrined. lim, 631d that he was the hope of Mexico, and again in- sisted that he was to be her Washington. The plan of a federal Union was formed, anc he determined to lead the forces of the nation in ita support. “I waa young thea,” seid he, “and the mistaiceI made was the ersor of my youth, and not cf my heart.’ He triumphed, and an atte npt was mate to form a confederation of States after the manzer ct tho United States. “But,” sail he, “Mezioo bas been striving to imitate the federal syetem without buowing what fedsration tr, end the attempt as elways been a vain ozo. The old Spanish aystem, whieh Royalty of New deavered to become an independent sovereignty, Kvery- thing waa turned into Iitile congresses (congresitos), and ail wanted place and pay, and mileage ard money.’” He went on to cay that this had been one of the great causes of the dificultics and cissensions of Mexico, They wanted to imitate the United States, without reflecting what the United States hed done. Taere thirteen sepa- rate colonies had joined in a feieral Union to ‘orma unity, while the unity of Mexiso was destroyed in order to make many petty nations, The Americen colonies tended to- ward @ common centre, and created strength, for union is strength, while the scveral independencies of Mexico ed trom the common cantre, and this brought ci. vision and weakness. Tho result waa that when a foreiga enemy invaded Mexteo, and when he had ex- pected that even the old woman and little children would rush to repel the foe, he found that the national feeling waa The people cf some of the States suid they would wait till the Yankees came to their own doors, and then they would repel him: others would send to the fe- deval government only a part of their contingent of men ard money, while many Mexicana were found figating in American rapks. ‘Thus,’’ said he, “Mexico, & country possessing eight millions of people ni rich ia material resources, was conquered, to her ra- proach anc eam, Thus as the negro, Alvarez, come uto notoriety.””) We stated that when the country wat determined to have peace ai any price, ani refused to contribute to sustalo the war, be determined to leave it, for he would eign to no peace, or would he romain to witness the de- gracation of Mexico, He was avimated with the sane spit aw the Carthagenians of old, who swore their ohildren upoa the atters of their gods to an eternal enmity co Rome. “The United States is the Pome of encientand tas Russia of modern days, They are the enemies cfour ecountry, religion, and our race, and will swallow up and eat out our citizens, as tifey have in Cali- fornia and New Mexico. These provinees were obtained hy arocalled peacefcl cession; but it was a penceful cessica with the rifle at our bosoms, like the stalwart man by the road side, who, pointing » blunderbuss st the unwary aud unarmed traveller, asks alms for the love of God. “I not only bate, but I abhor them esa nation,” astd he, “and all my Ufe has borne testimony to this sentiment, I do mot speak cf individual Ameri. caas, for I do not know that I have a cing! pereepial enemy who is an American, on the coutra- ry, I entertaia » high regard for many Americans whor I know, end wheal was in the United States I received tmany—very macy—personai attentions.
