To-day, I hear that the Somers sails for New O: leans, and I avail myself of the opportunit, writing. Since my last, which I sent you from Vera Cruz, the aspect of things has materially and i We are no longer at peace. War, withall its splendid pageant and horrors, has commenced. Of this you will be fully aware, some tame before this reaches you. The Herald will give all the particulars of the two battles, and, in fact, we shall not know them ourselves, till we see them detailed in that paper; but, I_may be able to tell something of affairs, of which I myself have been the eye-witness.

The Bank of Louisiana, of which he is the Pre: dent, controls the otar banks here, and the cay tal thereof is owned principally by foreign capi- talists. The name of the captain that denounced his men as cowards, &., nnd broke his sword and threw it at them, was Vicsco, not Tricoa—he is a noble Castilian. Our moil failed yesterday, of course, as impor- tant news was dices ein but an express came J The fact: is, whenever the foreign news, or any other impor- tant news, is expected in this city, either the yov- ernment agents, or the stage driver, or railroad attendants are bought up by speculators, and the news is brought on alwaysa day ahead of the F Wicklitfe, late Post Master Gene- ral—it was not half as bad when he was there as it is now—but humbuggery, rascality, &c., &c., is the prevailinggraits and ruling features of the day.
