It the reports that have reached New Orleans be true, Santa Anna has been defeated, captured, and is now a prisoner, where he was lately almost a dictator, 4 The Picayune Extra of the 20th gives the follow- ing particulars of the news. By the Sarah Ann, Davidson, we have advices from Tumpico to the morning of the 13:h instaut, and from the sity of Mexico to the 4th. To make the narrative more intelligible, we go beck to the Ist inst » when Santa Anna was at the village of Ayotla,a few miles South-east of the Capital. Oa the march from Huehuctoce to this point he is said to have lost over 2000 men by desertion, and from want of resources to pay his remaining troops exten- sive disaffeetion existed among them. To encourage this spirit, and to cnable those inclined to desert his stendard to do so with safety, Gen. Bravo sallied forth from the ca pital on the Ist, at the head of 3000 picked men to harrass the tyres in bis operations, but without offering him bat- tle. At the same tiie, Congress issued a d: cree by which it was ordered that all officers under Santa Anna should be deprived of their commissions, and be incapable of ever after holdiug one in the Mexican service, ualess, within eight days they ware in their adhesion to the Acting Government. ‘This, of course, increased the pro- gress of disorganization in the tyrant’s forces, and he was forced to measures of extreme cruelty to checkit, Find- ing all demonstrations against the capital useless, and having accomplished nothing by intrigues and machina- tions , he now directed his march upen Puebla, with the view to carry that city before the forces of the Govern- ment should be concentrated by the arrival of General Paredes from Queretaro, at the head of seven thousand troops, and of General Guzman with ubout one thou. sand more, Puebla had been put in a complete state of defence, and the commandant was confident of his ability to hold out against Santa Auna until the complete concentration of the Government forces. ‘Troops of ca- valry, too, were organized in the cities of Tilascala,Hua- mentla, Orizaba, Perote und Jalapo, with a view to appre- hend Santa Anna, should he be forced to fly. The next news we have is derived from a short letter which we fiad in the Bee and the Trepic of this morning, dat:d Tampico, Jan. 14th, announcing the defeat of Santa Anna by the combined forces of Paredes and Bravo, on the plains of Appan, in the immediate vicinity of Puebla. Five hundred men are said to have fallen in the fight, and Santa Anna to have been taken in endeavoring to make hisescape. The letter adds that Paredes was in full pur- auit of the routed forces, while Bravo marched back to the capital with his prisoner, The news of this battle is somewhat doubtful ; at an) rate there must be some error in the date. Capt. David- son says that he sailed from Tampico on Monday morn: ing, the 18th, and made 195 miles that day by the log. He farther states that the meil came in from Mexico on Sun- tay the 12th, and that the latest news it brought from Mexico was to the 4th. He likewise spoke with his con- signee the morning he sailed, who assured him that there was no later news in town. The letter anouncing the battle says news to the 9th had heen received by express from Mexico. Capt. Davideon himself puts no confidence inthis. We have no means ourselves of forming apy opinion on the subject It is certain that an action was anticipated, and had it been known in viexico the morn- ing of the 9th, that one had actually taken place, it might have been expressed to ‘Tampico by the ney the Sarah Aon sailed. On the other hand, rumora had been received ta Mexico as early as the 3d, that a battle had been fought on the plains of Appan, with precisely the same resulta as are mentioned in the express letter, but the Mexican editors in their papers of the 4th totally discredit them Che reader will form his own opinion in the premises , we are inclined to be incredulous. Captain D. informs us that although Santa Anna was contending against such vast odds, his situation was not teemed in Tampico to be utterly desperate. It was even veported there that his advance upon Puebla was hailed with joy by the citizens. ‘This egain must be deemed but a rumor. [t is stated that an express rider between Vera Cruz and Mexico had been taken by Santa Anna, and by his orders had received 20) lashes, trom the eftects of which it was thought he must die. The atrocities of the tyrant, in checkin, and i Ht the insubordination of his troops levying contributions for theic support upon the and towns, are represented as characteristically jexs and shocking to humanity. ‘The Diplomatic corps, with the French Ambassador, Baron Alley de Cypre, at their head, offered their con- gratulations to Gen. Herrara on the {st inst. Gen. Cortezar, who, it will be recollected, deserted from danta Anna at Celaya, the Istter has ct last entrapped by " act of audacious treachery, and at las: accounts held nim prisoner. Mr. Shuanon, the minister, has been more at ease since tbe minister of foreign affuirs, Rejon, fled from Mexico. f@ meets now more good will and a franker intercourse vith the new government. So does the French minister 00, and it is supposed that many of the difficulties with ‘oreign powers will be seitled to the satisfaction of all. New Orleans.

Trouble in Religion in New Orleans— Theatricals— Booth Broken Down, There appears to be a sad commotion in the reli- gious worid at the preseat time. Not long since, we pious denizens of the South were startled with a report of the transgressions of the Reverend Mr. Suydam, who accomplished the seduction of a youn% woman by means of giving a new con- struction to the scriptures, and inducing her to be- tieve that she was promoting the cause of religion by submitting to his carnal desires. Searcely had we recovered from this shock, when we were as- tounded with the intelligence that the Bishop of Pennsylvania took water with his brandy! That a high dignitary of the Christian Church should thus outrage the doctrines of teetotaliem, surprived us not a little. John W. Lane and coun. sellor Sever, the great temperance stars of this he- nisphere, were dimmed, for a time, with indigna- ‘ion; nor did they recover their pristine effulgence until the newe of the Bishop's suspension reached nere. Buta short period ela before we overwhelmed with the news that the New York had also fallen a victim to thi epidemic, which, I am sorry to inform you tended its ravages to this latitude, and sei: the Reverend Mr. Lyons, of Columbus, sippi, as well as the Reverend W. A. Scott, city, both ministers of the Presbyterian Church. You will, no doubt, ere this reaches you, have ob- served sundry publications in the Bee, and Bulletin, of this city, between Samuel J. Peters and C. Ro- selius, on one side, and the Reverend W. A. Scott on the other. The first named gentlemen have es tablished, to the satistaction, or to the dissatisfac- tion of the greater part of our citizens, godly and ungodly, that the Reverend W. A. Scott ha: been futlty of falsehood and duplicity. Qn the other hand, the Reverend gentleman has procured a cer- tificate from the trustees of his church, giving it as their opinion, that Messrs, Peters and Roselius were lavoring under a mistake when they pub lished Mr. Scott as a reverend gentleman having he reverence for the truth. Those geatlemen have not, however, as yet, discovered their mistake, aad it will require something more than the opinion of the trustees to convince this community that any such mistake exists. Mr, Scott and his friemds have been laboring very hard to make this a poli- tical dispute, but the honest and respectable demo- crats scorn him as heartily as could be wishe He finds no countenance in any quarter, except from “greasy Pete,” who presides at the editorial tripod of the Courier. All these things, as you say in your paper of the 7th inst., are making a deep impression upon the public mind, “and ultimately the world will open to the full conviction of the truth, that the cause of pure and undefiled religion must look for its best advocacy and vindication, not to a priviliged order of priests, but to a tree, enlightened, and vir- tuous newspaper press;” and I would add, to sci- ence, philosophy, dad reason, rather than to the contracted, selfish and intolerant class of men, whe now co insolently assume to be the expound- ers of the word of God! Booth is now here, and was greeted on his first appearance at the American theatre, by the fullest house of the season. The sale of tickets was stop- ped long before the usual time for the commence- ment of the performance. The large audience was much disappointed in his performance of “Richard Ill,” and there has been no difficulty in obtaining seats at the theatre at any of his subse- quent performances. |The fact is, Mr. B. is quite broken down—his voice is destroyed—and he eae makes himself ridiculous in attempting that whic! is now beyond his physical ability to perform. The office seekers are on the “qui vive” here as elsewhere. The most prominent candidates for the Collectorship ef eee are James W. Breedlove and M. Caruthers. The former has posted off to Washington to beg, while Mr. C. remains quietly here, and will surely carry off the prize ina very complacent aad gentlemanly manner. As your express will give you all commercial news long before Uncle Sam’s tortoise delivers this, I deem it useless to encumber my letter with any cotton, or other news, of the markete. P. Nashville, ‘Tenn, [Correepondence of the Herald.) Nasuvitir, Tenn., Jan. 19, 1844. Mattersand Things—The Approaching Elections— The President Elect—His Movements-- Office Beg- gars. Dear Bennetr:— Since the late election has been decided, the New York Herald has been in great demand, and the course it has pursued in relation to the promi- nent meusures which have been presented to the people, has at least been very acceptable to its nu- merous readers in this portion of the country. As any information from this quarter must be in- teresting, 1 thought a brief letter would be agree- able to you. This State,as you are aware, has been for some years in the hands of the whigs, but the recent trial of the strength of parties has shown that a little more energy and determination on the part of the democrats will give them the ascendancy egain. The trial to come off this Soring tor Governor, will far outstrip all previous efforts, and the battle will be a finely contested one. The democratic party, elated with their late auccess, have resulved to do battle in earnest, and I think there is little doubt but that Gen, Samuei J. Hays, ot Madison county, who will probably be nominated by the democrats, will be handsome- ly elected. He is weil known as a consistent and upright member of the party, and the people will gofor him, earnestly, The whigs will figat hard though, and nothing but a_ most determined spirit and a thorough organization will overcome them. But the State has been canvassed and the demo- eratsare sanguine. The whigshold their mass con- vention in this city, onthe 24 Tureday in March, and the democrats on the fourth of Mareb,the day on which our own James K. Polk is inaugurated as President of the United States. It is expected that General Jackson will preside atthe convention, it his health wil permit. The President elect has been very busy for the last week or two in makinghis finalarrangements prior to leaving us for Washington. He js to start, hence, in abouca fortnight. He will go to Wash- ington by the most direct route, and he expects to reach the Capital by the 12th to the loth of Febru- He will be accompanied byGen Armstrong, H. Polk, (his brother,) and Maj. Harris, (late of the Union,) the latier, probably, will re- ceive the appointwentof Private beeavlist Let ters are suid to have been forwarded by Mr. Polk to the gentlemen who are invited to his cabinet, and answers are to be tra:.smitted to Mr. P. at Washington. ders, ot N. C., are ameng the number, The names of the others have not transpired, nor will they, till they have accepted the posis tendered to them, The Nashville Union has lately been enlarged, and very greatly improved. Mr. Nicholson, its ta- iented editor,will make it an excellent journal,and its lists of subscribers has been considerably aug- mented since the alteration. He hastaken hold of it under the most favorable auspices, and it promi- sesto bea profitable arrangementto the proprietors, as well as a very uble and efficient organ for the democratic party. The President elect has been fortunate in adopt- ing a straight forward and even course in reter- ence to the office-hunters, which have attempted to annoy and forstall him here—and his well- known character has saved him a vast deal of un- necessary trouble. He has but one answer for the few applicants who visit him—and to the honor of the democracy be it said, they have been few. He will pledge himself to no one, and if the subject is broached,however delicately,he turns a deaf ear to any uation—‘ Gentlemen,” he replies, “I am not, as yet, the President; your claims will be considered at the proper time.” There is a person here, from your vicinity, a Mr. Hall—** Jo Hall,” as he is called in the paper which announced his arrival—who comes all the way from Massachu- setts to visit (2) President Polk, with whom, it is said, he was acquainted in Congress The an- nouncement of his entrée into Nashville was evi dently ironical, for it is something which is seldom donehere. Mr. Hail is now, and has been for six or eight years, a “ Measurcr of Salt and Coal” in the Boston Custom House, and he presumes on his acquaintance with Mr. Polk to leave his duty and come out here after a bigger office! I learn that he is efter the Surveyorship in Boston. He boasts of knowing “Jim Polk,” and says he can get whatever he wants. Mr. Hall may be a very in- fivential man at home (where he had better have remained, as he is a Custom House officer!) but he will make just what all the rest of these toadies ve, who have intruded themselves upon the Pre- sident that-is-to-be—that is, fools of themselves and a laughing stock to others. Mr. Polk has been uniferm in all his dealings with this kind of gentry; they are perfectly understood, and have in all in- stances returned with a “* flea in their ear!” There has been, however, as I remarked before, but a few of them here, and you may be certain that none of them have made the trip *‘ pay.” The question of annexation will be brought for- ward prominently in our approaching election, and whether Congress should act on it or not, the peo- le of Tennessee are very generaily in favor of it. fe is confidently hoped, however, that this question will be settle wander Mr. Tyler’s administation— to whom belongs the main glory of this glorious questien.

Judkins i on her first , by being from her decks, lors of figure head, &c., correct, ar we learn from the lant captein himself. The ship haa not sustained a dollar's worth of injury.

From Havana.—The Picayune of Sunday has dates fiom Havana of the 15th inst , received by the steamer Alabama. ‘She following is an extract of a ftiertnence, which contains all the news published, ‘The “ Monte de Piedad,” or pawn-broker’s shop, under the sanction of the esuthorities, was broken open about a week since and robbed by the soldilrs on guard there at night. All have been arrested except ‘he cor ralandene other—the punishment will be death. The amonnt of property stolen is variously estimated from $50,000 to $76,000" A lawyer, in coming out of one of the churches, about eight days since, trod on the toe of the sentry, who stabbed him instantly. Another sentinel ran up and aizo drove his bayonet into him. The lawyer died instantly. The soldiers fled into the church, to the sanctuary, but were draqued out, tried the same day, aud sentenced to be shot. ir only excuse was, that they were “ tired of drilling. Last week a negro got into one of the ferry boats, and desired the boatman to row him across the river. He was seen from a vessel in the harbor to the boatman, and then to jump into the water, from which he never rose. The boatman was found dead, with nine stabs.

AnataBoo, September 26, 1844.—Since the de- parture of the ship Lotus {rom Sumatra, ao mate- vial change has transpired in respect of exports and im- ports. The arrival of several ships on the coast at ono time, has induced the Malays to hold their pepper at their former rates, say 433} a 475 om bonrd; and as nearly all the old crop has been disposed of, I doubt if prices will 0 much below those rates till the new crop comes in.— he sudden arrivai cf ships has also tended to lower the prices of imports, so that I now cannot recut mend large shipments of goods to the coast this year. There was a large surplus of sheetings left on the coast last year, and the last sales were at $275 per piece. Opium, at eli times a dangerous article, had receded to $3 25 per pl. in conse- quence of a large shipment from Bombay. All kinds of tuncy goods plenty and in no ¢emand. The vessels on the coast are as follows:—A French sloop of war, 18 guns, at Achun ; 2 French, 1 Italian ship, name not known, at Ragus ; Frances Whitney, London, Borneo, and another American ship on the coast waiting for the new crop; 4 more ships on the 8. E. coast, names and country not known. It is time to have an United States cruiser stationed on the coast. A plot was laid to cut off an American ship his year; in fect nothing but the presence of a mai war Will deter the natives from cutting off ships when- ever they can do it successfully, as they have in all their attempts thus far. Navat.—The U. 8. ship Potomac sailed from Kingston, Jam., on the 27th ult. for Port au Prince. Officers and crew oll well, The U.8. ships Cumberland, Piymouth and Fairfisid were at Gibroltaron the 24th De cember. These fine ships and models of naval architec- ure urtived there upon the 27h November, four days from Mahon. The Fairfield was about returning home alter along cruise. The other two ships would return ‘ain up the Mediterranean. Both the Cumberland and outh were built at Boston. Upon the late trial of speed between the three vessels, the Plymouth proved the (aster in all points of sailing. Anti-Rent Movemenrs.—On Wednesday last Deputy Sheriff Sedgwick arrested and brought in Joseph Finkle, of Ancram, one of the leading aati-renters of that town, and one of the persons who was instrumental a gettihg Boughton, alias ‘ Big Thunder,” and the In- ng of Rensselaer County, to visit this county at the iret meeting that was held. ‘These facts were fully »roven Gn the examination, and also that he had taken n active part ia the principal anti rent meetings which L. been held.

The public exercises of the pupils of the Publie School No. 5, in Mott street, attracted, on Tues- day, a large assemblage of visitors, who were mostly composed of the friends and parents of the children belonging to the school. In the evening particularly, there was a high degree of interest manifested. At half-past six o’clock, the hour at which the evening exercises were to commence, the approach to the school house was blocked up by a crowd of men, women and children, and there was no such thingas getting ag fer as the door, without pushing a way through the crowd, and experiencing a good deal of inconvenience. On at last obtaining admission, there was no less difficulty in procuring a seat, as every nook and corner of the school room wes literally erammed full. A full proportion of them were females. On one side the boys of the school were mustered in large force, and conducted themselves in quite a free and easy manner, although without impro- priety. On the other side of the house, the female papils occupied au elevated seat, all dressed in white, and uppeared to great advantage. The exercises; were commenced by singing “Come, come away,” by the young ladies, who certainly did it creditably; and the same remark applies to their singing during the whole course of the evening. It afforded, apparently, much satis- faction to the hearers, aud shows that a good deal of pains is taken by the lady who hascharge of the female department, to give a good knowledge of vocal music to her pupils, and there can be no doubt of her competency, judging from the display made on this occasion. The effects of this syste- matic musical training wiil not only be advanta- geous to the individuals, but will not failto have a beneficial effect upon public taste, as we see is the case in Germany and Italy, where musical instruec- tion is made an essential part of education. With several of the pieces sung in the course of the evening, the audience were greatly delighted.— Among the rest, one called ‘Spring is come ;” another entitled, ‘The Mower’s Song,” and that popular old English song, the ‘ Missletoe Bough;” each of these were. performed with considerable good taste. The proficiency shown by the female pupils in Roman and Grecian history, in chemistry and natural philosophy, and also astronomy, was quite unexceptionabie. As to the boys their exercises comprised quite a varie- ty, and considering that they were, with a very few ex- ceptions, apparently under twelve years of age, they ac- quitted themselves well. In Arithmetic they’ showed themselves expert and ready, but in Astronomy they hardly answered with ss much readin the girls.— Two or three lads had decidedly the advantoge of their if it we ious to mention names, they might be poiatcd eut distinctly as clear and promi- sing youths. As to their Elocutionary powers there was a fair exhibition given in a dialogue between Sir Robert ble, Humphyey Dobbins, and one or two other char- ers; and as thW@moral of the piece was good, and the manner of the boys manly and energetic, they were loud- ly applauded, A comic recitation of * Waddle,” was given with judgment, and correct emphasis and inflection vf voice, and various songs also were sung by boys, who certainly acquitted themselves in a manner beyond their age. When the exercises were about half through, Dr. Reese, County Inspector of Schools, got up and said, that it was the wish of the principal teachers of the school that he should say a few words to the com; in order to express to them their tharks tention manifested during the progress of the exhibition ; “it with great pleasure he saw there so many of the fricnds and parents of the scholars, and also hit Honer the Mayor, Mr. Harper, who had favored tuem with hia presence. H» was there 18 a friend of public schocls. and of the Bible in the pub- schools. (Applause.) He presumed thet it was un- jerstood by the audience that that was the only public ‘chool in the 14th Ward, in which the Bible was Tecog- sized or read; but, from the beginning, it had been the custom there to open the school with reading a portion {the Bible, in conformity with immemorial usage, and the law of the land From the other schools of that (the i4th) Ward, the Bible was banished; but he hod great sath tion in announcing that the war in which he (Dr. Reese.) had been engaged in defence of the 2ble, was put an end to the previous evening by a vote 4 the proper officers, who declared that in future 20 portion of the school fund should be granted for the support of any schcol from which the Bible was excluded. (Cheers.) He could not help thinking that the parents of the children must{be gratified with the progress they had nade—but regretted that the preparations for eccommo- sting alt that came were hardly ample enough. It was with great pleasuce that he annennced to them the pre sence of a distinguished foreigner, Dr. Alfaro, of Madrid, who bad been sent out by the Portuguese government to taake enquiries in several countries on matters relating to eduction, and he hoyed the audience would greet him. (Apptause ) Ia observing the exercises of the evening, ie thought all would be strack with the efficiency and intelligent look of the children, and approve the sound aystem of public school education which was supported by government. They were not charity schovls, although supported by the bounty of the State—whose will it was hat the cbildren there instructed were to be brought up without distinction of sect, creed, rank or country, but as young Americans. (Cheers) A greater interest on he part of the pares of the children be could not help binking was desirable, and he thought much good vould result feom their visiting the schools, and teachers occasionally communing with them’ upon « subject of much importonce as the education f their children. He thought the teachers should thereby be encouraged, and thesred to renewed exer- ions. There was generally a great neglect of this; but it gave him delight to see on that occasion such av large assembly of the friends and parents of the pupils, na such a manifestation o! interest in their exhibition. fle would not detain them farther, but a ‘eed with the reguiar bill of fare, which, ve was sure would be found still more agreeable, which would be ina great degree owing to the delightful music forded by the young ladies. (Applause ) The exercises were immediately renewed, and inter- perced with an occasional song by the female choiris- rs, but we think it unnecessary te specify or detail the- amet d nature of the exercises, further than that they mbraced all the departments of a sound English educa- ion, and bespoke care and judgment in the teachers of the school. Before the conclusion, his honor the Mayor, who was placed near the platform, and who, with the utmost good vature, employed himself in talking to, encouraging, and , nai up and down steirs the children, was loudly catled for. The Mayor observed—If I had been prepared for a peech, orif I had the voice to make myself heard, or if had sufficient time, I would say a number of th: in commendation of this school and of its teachers. Those -arents and relations—at least those who claim kindred with those young ladies—must be very happy. wd the teachers’ who have the privilege of eaching these scholars, must be very hoppy in listeni ‘o their sweet voices every day; for it affords me so mucl pleasure to-night. I think they must be happy beyond neasure. It has afforded me high satisfaction to meet in he head teacher of this school, an old friend, whom 1 irst bocwme acquainted with twenty-five years ogo. 1 eel very gied that he has met with the eccouragement his merits so justly entitle him to. Asto Miss Henrietta, have but Jately become acquainted with her, but during that short acquaintance I have become so much prepos- essed with her, that should I remain in office three oonths longer, I am sure to pay her another visit.
