Came La Cantera, Mexico, on the San Juan, August 3, 1846, I wrote you from San Lucia, giving some of the inci” dents of Capt. Duncan’s march from Matamoras. It was completed on the 30th July, when he encamped on this river four miles above Camargo. Our journey has been through a wild, uncultivated country, but it is evidently not because nature has been illiberal in her bounties.— The finest land is running to waste. The few and scat- tered ranches cannot be called settlements, or the indif ferent attempts at tillage, cultivation. The chief difii- culty we may find in peopling and improving the coun- try on this side of the Rio Grande, will arise from the scarcity of water. But this may be obviated by the dig- ging of wells and the construction of tanks, which an in- dustrious and enterprising population would not long neglect. Through a good interpreter, we conversed freely with the people along the route, and it is evident that a better feeling towards us prevails here, and in this neighborhood, than we found about Matamoras. They every where contrast eur conduct with that of their own soldiers, and anole inso many sayings complimentary to our sense of right, that we almost persuade ourselves we are not the robbers Paredes styles us as a nation — Only one care has occurred where we failed to, ay for what we took.

LETTERS FROM THE sQUADRON. U.S. Steamen Mississirr1, Pensacota, Aug. 20, 1846. ‘Thinking it would be a desirable object for you to be enabled to give your readers the intelligence from Vera, Cruz and the American squadron, and hoping the nature of the subject will be sufficient apology for thus address, ing aletter to you, I have endeavored to collect the itqms of most importance. We left Vera Cruz on the 14th inst., and arrived at Pensacola the evening of the 18th. Our departure from Vera Cruz was deferred until the arrival of the English mail steamer from Havana, in which Santa Anna was ex- pected ; he did not come, however, but it was under- stood taat he was to be there in a few days. The latest news from Mexico was that the city had declared in fa- vor of Santa Anna. The Mexican stronghold, St. Juan id the city of Vera Spy tpn in favor of the exiled President on the Ist of August, on which occasion a salute was fired from the castle Ail the prin- towns in the interior had also declared in favor of revolution in s are in favor ot peace with the United State: rs to be the opinion of all that our difficulties with Mexico will soon be ended. We left the U.S.frigates Cumberland, (flag ship), ond Potomac, the steamer Princeton, sloops-of-war St. ry’s, and Falmouth; brigs Somers, Truxton and Porpoise; schrs. Reefer, Flirt, Bonita, and Petrel, off Vera Cruz and its vicinity. Officers and men all well. On the 24th July, while our launch was in pursuit of a strange sail, she was capsized in a erg miles from the anchoroge, and midshipman Wingate Pillsbury and one seamen were drowned ; the rest of the crew, 17 men, clung to the boat until they were taken off by the U.8' brig Porpoise the next day, after being nine hours in the water. Mr. Pillsbury’s death was deeply regret ted by all who knew hii © was a perfect gentleman and a promising officer. On the 29th July, the frigate Cumberland grounded on acoral reef while running along te coast. After get- ting some of her heavy spars, guns, and other things overboard, and starting her water, this ship succeeded in having been on shore 26 hours. It is is injured. On the 7th August, we got under way in com with the squac ind H. B.M. frigate Endymion, and stood along the coast towards the mouth of the Alvara- do, with the intention, it was supposed, of cutting out some Mexican vessels at anchor up the river. On the way down, the dist being about 30 mi anchorage ground of aft, and captain Adams teld the men that some volunteers were wanted to goon a boat expedition, and desired those that were willing to go, to step over on the star- board side of the quarter deck. A general rush was made tor the starboard In less than a minute, there was nota manto be ‘any where and mag were disappointed in net being able to attract the notice of eur gallant commander while he picked out the boat’s crew. A very unusual degree of excitement and bustle prevailed on board after the crews were picked—some grinding cutlasses, some cle: jistols, quarter gun- ners preparing the heavy guns and getting everything ready for action—all in high spirits at the prospect of sharing some of the laurels which Gen. Taylor has been monopolizing. We arrived off the mouth ofthe river at 2 P, M. About 6, this ship, the Princeton, and the three schooners, beat to quarters, and commenced firing sheils at a fort on the right bank of the river. This ship and the Princeton being nearly two miles distant, were unable to de much execution, and after firiog 4 or 6 10 inch shells, Soe was made by the Commodore to cease. Several hundred troops were seen marching down to the beach, and after sunset they opened a fire of musketry on the schooners—a few shells dropped amongst them soon silenced their fire, and dark put an end to) the operations. It was expected the Mississippi and Princeton would be ordered within a shorter distance of the battery the next morning, and the action continued ; but to the gen- eral disappointment and astonishment of almost every one in the squadron, at daylight signal was made by Commodore Connor to get under way for the old anchor- age ground. His reasons were not made known ; but it is supposed that the difficulty of getting the large frigates within roper distance, the rapidity of the cur- rent in the river, which renders it impossible for the boats to pull ag inst it, the numbers collected on beach to prevent a landing, and the thre: ance of the weat , Were the reasons t! hi to leave as he did. I suppose he will explain all here: ter ; buthe does not bear such acharacter in the squ ron as aman should that is supposed to have charge of the honor of a nation.

M., July 28th, and arrived before Vera Cruz, August 2d, having been just five days on the passage of 850 miles, and con- sumed 45 tons of coal. Upon her arrival the Mississippi ‘was lying at her old anchorage inside Green Island, and the sloop-of-war St. Mary’s with the brig Porpoise, were cruising off and blockading Vera Cruz ; these two ves- sels have been constantly on this duty ever since. The frigates Cumberland and Potomac with the sloop Fal- mouth, and the 3 gun boats, were lying at anchor about 10 miles to the southward of Vera Cruz, at a place called Point Antonia de Li Princeton ran down anchored near the C We now learned sissippi had been cay idshipman name sbury and the remainder of the crew were picked up by the St Marv. The Cumberland had been ashore upon a reef for 24 hours, and after throwing overboard the guns and snrting her water, she wax towed off on the 29th July by the Mississippi after six hours pulling. The ins Were recovered and the ship sustained no damage. Somers had been cruising down the coast, but arr: ved on the 3d of August with a load of greenturtle and limes, which were distributed among the squadron. Upon the morning of August 2d, there had been a re- yolution at Vera Cruz, a solute of 100 guns was fired, town having declared for Santa Anna j rd that the city o ration, including peace with the United States. An action has been fought be- tween the respective partizans, in which the general of Paredes was slvin. These are all the particulars we have bean able to learn. On the morning of third, the Col re transferred his flag to the Princeton, the steam ship was immediately got under way, stood up and pagsed the blockading vessels off Green Island, and came to anchor inside Sacrificios among the foreign ships. Here we found the English frigate Endymion and bark- of-war Rose ; the Spanish frigate Christino and brig La- vinia ; and the French b: ercure. ‘he Commodore was immediately visited by the French, English, and Spauish Captains. After they left us, we returned to our old anchorage, andthe Commodore to his ship. On the 4th the Enlymiomeame down and anchored near us ; on the 5th she was joined by an English corvette, and o 6th by the Rose. ‘fhe rumor was now rife of an attack to be made on Alvarado—a place about twenty-five miles to the southward of us, where the Mexicans have a brig eral gun boats. Great was the note of prepara- nd on the mori ef the 7th all the squadron ex- cepting the St. Mary and Porpoise, sailed for Alvarad the Princeton towing the Cumberland and the Mississip, towing the Potomac, the Falmouth and Somers having sailed the night provious.

The English v 1s that had followed us down operatio: mud fort and a few troop: to sea and all returned to to Alvarado, returned also and anchored near us. We have since remained quiet, with the exception of the Princeton going on the 11th up to Sacrificios and bringing off some beeves and sheep which had been brought down the coast by the St. Mary's. On the evening of the 11th, a small schooner arrived from the Rio Grande and com- municated with the Commodore. It is understood,though not ascertained, that she brought despatches from Gen. Taylor, |The ‘Mississippi sails to-day, for Pensacola. Every thing is quiet’ The English il steamer arrived last evening. Movements of Santa Anna. [From the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 23. Since our last publication we have been in pos- session of intelligence from Havana, which throws more light upon the movements of Santa Anna. The letters containing them were brought hither on the P. Soulé, to be delivered personally, from which cause they reached their destination only on Thursday evening last. From one of these letters, dated the Sth instant, we make an extract :— ° 4 : be ‘The slow, transient English steamer Arab, is chartered to sail to-night at 11 o'clock. She clears for Sisal, and takes with her Generals Al- monte, Beson, (we think this should be Rejon—Kds.) Santa Anna and family to Mexico. The Montezuma has been underguing repairs, and was tried afew days since jure excursion, but was found to be completely Sisal and thence to Tabascs entertain little doubt that his expedition was designed to prepare the way for Santa Anna, by providing the means of speedy communication al: the coast from Tobasco to Alvarado and Vera Cruz and making other neces- sary preparations. The latest accounts Tobasco represent that Department in that of commotion which in Mexico precedes a revol tion. The people were even in advance of the Ve Cruzanos, and will no doubt flock to Santa Anna’ - dard, now that so many departments have declared for no kind of doubt upon our minds that Santa Anna got off at the time he expected to do, the 8th of August. We shall expect to hear from him next at Vera Cruz, though we fear we may be kept in a provoking state of sus- pense till the next English steamer’s advices reach us, some three weeks hence.

Several gentlemen arrived in this city on Saturday evening from New Mexico and Chihuahua. Among them, we hear the names of Messrs. M'Knight, Steven- son and Aubry. They left Santa Fe on the 16ta of July, and Mr. M‘Knight left Chihnahaa on the 3d of July. — On the 17th, they reached Independence, having periorm- ed the whole trip from that point and back in ninety- three days, remaining thirty days in Santa Fe.
