Our battery of light artillery, escorted by two compa nies of infantry, left Matamoras for Camargo on the morning of the 25th. This force was under the command of Capt. Duncan. The road directly up the Rio Grande being overflown, it was necessary to take the interior route, and unawed by the terrors of rancheros or regular Mexican soldiers, we started towards Monterey. Igno- rant as we were of the exact preparations or condition of the enemy, we went prepared and expecting to fight for the battery onthe way. The Mexicans, perhaps, excel most other people in the cunning and duplicity requisite to a successful spy, and their vigilance is such that no movement of ours passed unobserved or unreported — Hence, the contemplated march of Duncan’s artillery was known several days in Matamoras before it com- ced, and if our enemy had been as enterprising as the old’ Spaniards have generally proved themselves when their country has been invaded, you would have heard of a struggle desperate in proportion to the value and importance of the prize. We have frequently ob- served 81 ious looking horsemen on the borders of the prairies, who were evidently watching our progress with particular interest. Thus far, however, they have kept at a respectful distance and confined themselves to their chapparal retreats. Canales’ cruising ground is about this region, but scandal s Fd ge is not formed of the stern stuff that soldiers are made of, and probably does not perceive,with sufficient clearness, how our bat- tery may be at ed and captured. The country for fifty miles on the Monterey road is a dead level, varied by prairie and thick wood or chappa- ral, and occasions! water holes. We soon entered upon the vast plains of ‘ico, covered with immense herdi of fine cattle and she Presence of herdsmen and e of the simplicity of the primi- de f civilization, Infe- necountered at long in- jitants wil- ling, for @ consideratiou, to furnish all the Pp we desired. Indeed, st is but just to say that ‘ree of kindness and hospitality, quite unexpected, was manifest- ed on the part of the Mexicans we met. The proprictor of a ranche we passed to-day came out and begged us to halt for a while, offering to prepare dinner for the officers and to send out loads of melons for the men of the command. The offer was declined, but the evident sincerity and gcod will with which it was made,eonvinced us that the laws,language and intention that every indivi- dual of one peligeret is the necessary enemy of every man, woman and child of the other, is not always verifi- ed. From my observation, thus far,I am satisfied that the people of these northern provinces, take little inte rest in the political relations between their country and ours, and are probably more willing to hail the advent of arepublic ofthe Rio Grande, than to shout for any military dictator, who succeeds in gaining the ascen- dant at the capital, They have already felt the difference between the principle and character of our government and that, so called, of Mexico. The gentleman whose hospitality I have mentioned, pointed to a recent en- campment of the Mexican army, and showed Where they had destroyed his valuable fe: , instead of lighting their camp fires from the wood growing abundantly evening of the first day, we were overtaken by ‘amargo, and he with us, as he hway in Mexico. permission'wasjcheerf , and he has th far closely accompanied us, receiving ‘our protection, and faithfully gui the route.

A con- siderable drove, each loaded with a mountain of wool, or burdened with barrels of flour or whiskey, would be long the Mo- 3 the process of transportation in this manner, the price for 100 pounds from Matamoras to Camargo, generally from seven to ten days journey, is but a le ag Ihave before said that the steamer which several years ago made two or three trips up the Rio Grande to Matamoras, was dis- continued on account of its destructive effect upon the muleteers. It is presumed the influence of these res- pectable gentlemen is hardly sufficient at Washington hd prevent our navigation of the Rio Grande with steam- at, ® After we had marched four days, the country became more rolling, and the quality of the land far better. On the 28th, between Cuiatana and Jacalitas, the first rocky substance I have seen in Texas or Mexico was encoun- tered—a real limestone. From this point, the country became more uneven, and the journey to-day has been through beautiful hill and valley scenery, perfectly charming to an eye which, for many months, had not rested on #0 refreshing a sight.

Our neighbors of the Rancho are kind and obliging in supplying our table with whatever their little farm affords; their hospitality is unbounded, and e of our young gentlemen amuse themselves 'im visiting these most charming families. The Mexican habitation is unen- cumbered by any of the superfluous furniture we see in the houses of other lands. It consists of a sin: gle apartment, however large the structure. The bare walls, mud floor, and high thatched roof, are generally unrelieved by ornament, except, perhaps, a rude picture of the Virgin and a crucifix, suspended in a conspicu- ous place. You find the family seated or Jying. upon a cow-hide, which is carpet and family bed. Generally some representative of a chair is offered the stranger, otherwise he seats himself with the group. At first he is struck with the remarkable simplicity of dress worn at * loveliness ded not the anes aid of ornament,” then is its high: adornment and best personation witnessed in these juveniles, it being evident to the most careless observer that in their creation the distinctions of male and female were not forgotten. The attention on the part of parents to the wants and welfare of these urchins is the same paid to mules or mustangs, for all seem to run wild toge- ther. However, one anxious care is observable in mo- thers towards their tender offspring. They are unceas- ingly active in pursuing and capturing the carnivorous monster, immense droves of which roam through the heads of these le ones. Their skill and success in the hunt is wonderful, and could only be acquired by daily and hourly practice. Wo to the victim, if taken! Placed by the sanguinary captors between the sacrificial thumb nails, the persecutor of innocent but neglected in the shape of mi instance of treason was this morning pre. fed to eur observation. A tall, well-looking young man, in his ambition to acquire the Spanish, had occupi- ed nimself in long and frequent conversations with the fairest senorite in the rancho. His proficiency was so t, that he;was able to invile her to go with him to United States. She of course blushed and hesitated, ‘and looked “I'll ask mama.” The next day or two the parents of this lovely girl inquired if the young man intended to marry their daughter. ‘They the matter decided without delay. Jose Somebody want- her, but as he was a worthless sort of a fellow, gam- ‘much, and drank some, they would prefer the young American ; but he must make up his mind—the oung could not wait.

There where a number of idle rumors about Matamoras relative tothe enemy, which found much credit for a time. Ongreport was thatthe Mexican rancheros had assembled in considerable numbers, and that they in- tended making a descent upon the town. Auother was that they were within few leagues of tue town and led on by Canales; the last and most important was, that they had come within six miles ofthe place, and sent in word for the Women and children to go out to the ranches. This last rumor created quite a sensation among the credulous, and they spread it like wild fire. ‘There seems to be quite a nest of spies and traitors amongst the popt of Matamoras, who keep the enemy advised of all that is there.

She was, by the powerful aid of the ‘‘Mississipp boats of the squadron, relieved from her peril- uation, with the loss of her false kee! and part of her copper.’ The best chart of the harbors of “ Vera Cruz” and “ Anton Lisardo” extant, were made by the of the French squadron previous to, and after k upon Vera Cruz iz 1888—but “ the perience in the service” of some Post Captai cient. You cannot teach them any thing —the: digaity would be compromised; for according to their ideas, it would have been exposing “ the men” too much to have had a“ survey of the coast” by some of the talented finlor officers of the squadron—and which could have en done without any interruption from the Mexicans. ‘A few weeks since the frigates. Cumberland and Poto- mac and steamer Princeton, left Groen Island, and pro- ceeded to a place called by some of the Spanish linguists in the squadron the Rio Antigua, 10 miles to the north- ward of Vera Cruz. On their way thither, these ves- sels passed within range of the guns of the Castle of San Juan d’Ulloa, with tompions in, muzzle bags on, aud touch holes puttied, ax the batteries of men-of-war usually are when at sea; the wind be- ing light, the shins were in this situation for some time, without making any preparation to repel an attack, not even beating to quarters—that we were not well peppered is entirely owing to Mexican forbearance. While at the river above referred te, several boats were sent on shore for the purpose of getting a supply of fresh water. In executing this duty, our men were con- | stantly fired upon by the * Rancheros”—to defend them selves in anenemy’s country and in time of war, the boats? crews were, by an order of Com.

Within this harbor the Mexi- cans have secured the remains of their Navy, consisting of a 12-gun brig and several schooners—the entrance to the Rio Alvari is defended by a small mud fort mount- ing several indifferent guns—on the bar is3 feet water—a mile outside from 6 to 9 fathoms. following vessels got under way from tl viz: Cumberland, Potomac, Mississippi, mouth, Somers, Reefer, Petrel, and Bonita, and the same i and anchored off Alvarado. ‘The line a half circle, the schooners inside in three the centre, in 9 fathom: bar and cut out the Mexican vessels. I say it wa stood that this was the plan of attack—for what wi really to be done no one knew Commodore Conner kept his “programme” to himself—for he never allows his officers to know what he intends they should per- form until the moment. ell! about 4P.M. on the 7th, the signal was made by the flag siip “ Prepare for action.” Ail hands went to work with a wili—guns cast loose, powder, shot and shell got up ; each man fully believing that now the ‘time had come when something was going to be done.” ‘The officers \d men selected to man the boats were all in high Hi rits—glory for the officers, prize money for the men. An enthusiasm rarely known among the men had got them up to “concert pitch,” and they would without doubt have done credit to their country’s flag ; but, alas! they had no“ Rough and Ready” to lead them. The affa/ ended in e. The Mississippi and Princeton eac fired two sl without effect. The brunt of the battle was borne by the little Bonita, who from her single gun fired some half dozen shot, one of which passed between two of the Mexican schooners, another through a house near the fort. Neither the Cumberland or Potomac fired asingle shot, and if they had fired they were at too eat a distance to have damaged the enemy. | T'he only jefence made by the Mexicans was trom a body of their infantry, who from a chapparel above the beach poured a volley of musketry into the Bonita without eilect. In about half an heur after the action commenced, the si nal was made, “Cease firing,” the guns were secured, and the retreat beaten. No boats were called away, or any further demonstration of attack made. ‘The ensuing morning the squadron got under way, and returned to this anchorage.

LETTERS FROM THE SQUADRON. U. 8. Home Squapnon, ory Axtow Lisanvo, / August 9th, 1846. 5 T have been attached for many months to this squadron, and have witnessed all its operations. 1 will, at random, notice the following recent events. The Castle of Vera Cruz is expected to be taken by this squadron,of course. Here gunnery would tell, and yet it is a positive fact that none of the vessels under Commodore Conner’s command have ever been exercised in gunnery; not for want of time, for we have been idle at our anchorage for months; true, we have what is called “general quarters” three times a week. This is like the manual motions of the soldier on parade, i. ¢. it shows the sailor how to run his gun in and out, and train it, but gives him no real knowledge as to the distances of his range, or the eftec- tive use of his gun, more reminding one of a country | muster than of the “deadly education of the man-of-war.” And why is this? Because Commodore Conner does not deem practice necessary to ensure good gunnery—be- | sides it is a useless expenditure of powder. As for exer- | olsing boats, or adopting anyfmeans by which the crews (many of them tly green) could be made proficent | in their duti ing is never thought of; as regards discipline, 1 isnone.

Yet this squadron is expected to rendé a satisfactory account of itself, in the event of anattack being made on the stronghold of the Mexicans.

Mr. Morphy was landed at Vera Cruz on the 24th ult., being treated throughout with the utmost politeness by Com. Conner, owing to a carte blanche having becn order- edat Washington.

[From the Washington Union, August 31.] Despatches from Commodore Connor, under dates 10th, §2th and 14th of August, have been received at the Navy Department, some extracts from which we lay be- fore our readers. In reference to the accident that befel the Cumber- nd, Commodore Conner says, that “ the guns, spars, shot, provisions, &c. that were removed from the ship to lighten her, on that occasion, were all recovered and put in their places two days afterthe ship was got afloat. With the exception of some injury to her false keel, and the probability that some of the copper on the bottom is injured or rubbed off, tated in my letter above men- tioned, I am not aware the has sustainedany damage of consequence.” “The British ships,” he add: cios, have lost several men by fever. anchored at Sacrifi- ‘The cases were 80 tl itwas Pedy been extremely wet pleasant for of the different vessels General Santa Anna was not on board.” ‘A rumor had obtained that a Mexican privateer had been seen off the Hi One of the ships of the squad- ron was at once ch for her, but no trace of any such vessel could found.

Armijo has received no intelligence from the government officers at Mexico for four months previous to the departure of the traders who arrived here on Sa- turday last. From one of the g m we learn that the traders with Gen. Kearney anticipated much difi- culty on entering the departments with the troops. The powers of tho governor will, in that case, be set aside, and they will be unable to obtain custem-house ceriifi- cates which will protect them in tho interior. It is stated by those among them who know Speyer, that his haste to enter Santa Fe before Col. Kearney was not because his wagons were laden with arms or ammunition, but thet he might obtain a cevtuicate from the custom house in Santa Fe before the United States troops tok posses. sion. Our informant, an intelligent trader, who has been 16 r8 in New Mexico, gives it as his opinion that the ter- ry is not of sufficient value to repay the cost of con- juest. b Mr. Morris Colburn, in his letter from Santa Fe, July 17th, to our neighbors of the Republican, speaks of a party of California emigrants from Napoleon, Arkansas, as having just left Santa Fe on their further journey, and fears that they world suffer much.
