The news ef his arrival at San Luis Potosi, which we gave the othor day, was at loast prematu: He did not reach there till the Sth of October. As evety thing in regard to his movements is sougat after, we anoex letter announcing his arrival :— Lisenatina Aamy er tHe Rervntic, Headquarters, San Luis, Oct. 10, 1946.

We-regretto say that the papers giv> uc no clue to his plan of operations. Put while Santa Anna was on his way to San Luis, he wn e beck from Quererataro, on the 3d of October, as fol! ws:—" The disaster which we encountered at Mon- tercy is not so great as I at first thought. Our troops have left fer Saltillo, and have —, occupied the peints of the Sierra. So far from the troops ‘ing besome demoralized, | am assured that great en- thusieem prevaiis amovug them.

Am: the multitude of papers forwarded by Ampadia to Santa Anza and the Government, we find a letter from our 8 cretary of War, Mr. Marcy to General Taylor, re ing the —, na ‘Tampico and San Luis Potosi. letter is da ton, Sept. 2d, and though our ac- count of the contents of the letter will be an old story at ‘Washington, we may say here that the di 0 of the Se- cretary’s let is to obtain General Tay lor’s opinion, rather than to dictate a line of proceedings for bim. ia told what the Government has thought of doing, and asked what he thiuks about it. The Go- vernment has referred to him for my upon various points—as to the difficulties of advance—whether he deems tinue bis march w, dred topics. The letter pursues its i: Yespectiul terms, deferring it to the better judgment of General Taylor ; but it ef course discloses our plans, the number of troeps intended te be used sgainst Tam- pico, snd some other general particulars. The letter of Ampudia, covering Mr. Marcy's despatch, con- tains a singular Paragrap! if, in our haste, we rightly apprehend it. it is to the following effect :—" Every momeat which, s confirms my idea of the immense advantages we have gained frem fighting four consecu- tive days at Monterey, since now the enemy entertains Tespect for the Mexican soldier, and American flowed with such profusion that from the generals of the enemy came the suggestion of an armistice of se weeks, which disarms, as it were, a great part of > reguler Since writing the above, we have seen another posi- tive assertion le on the ority of Ampudia, thet the idea of the armistice was ficers, and the Mexicans are Pp soggested Dy them beeause the greater part of our regu- lars were cut to pivees at Monterey. he Mexican accouats of the baitles of Monterey are mere numerous than have been published in the United States.

They charge him with the grossest cowardice, and incompetency. But we have neither time ner space to-day to enter further into the Mexican accounts of the battles. One thing we must note, however. Almost all their acceunts say, that they refused to eapitulate until we agreed to salute their fing. the two months’ istice expires, the Meaicans count confidently that Santa Anna will , wi will prevent any fur- jor. ‘The Mexican papers are full ofthe orders of General Balas, made through his secret: ofa resources for the war. We have various circulars of Almonte, one of which is in the nature of a manifesto, and written with marked ability, but we cannot give it to-day. Onthe morning of the 14th of October, a rumor was circulated in thecity of Mexico, that somo battalions of the National Guard designed to issue a pronuncidmento, the tos se of which was to wrest the reins of govern- ment from Gen.

He took the command of the expedition in upon the steamer Vixen. His vessel succeeded in g ting across the bar and reaching the desired jitio1 where she stood the brunt of the fire of the Mexican b tery of twelve guas, tillthe McLane got aground, and it would have been feolhardiness to persist m the enter- prise. Com. Conner stood all the while upon the whi house of the Vixen, calm and unrufiled, while the shot flew around him. One ball, striking short of the schoo- ner, dashed the water over his person, filling his face and eyes. Unmove, he wiped the water from his face, and, solicitous only for others, inquired if any one was hurt. His bearing is Cescribed to us as everything that we could have wished. Perfeetly unruflied, he would not to useless hazard his command, after it be- cam nt that from accident the enterprise must fail His officers and men, however, were rendered half tran- tic by the orderto withdraw. There was nothing so rash and desperate that they would not have performed it, rather then have bes ed the summons to desist. ome trifling incidents connected with the subjects touched upon in the above letters, which were itten for publication but may not be without their Don Tho Marin, one of the most accom.

In the report of Senor the loss of the Mexicans is not mentioned, but he speaks of the loss of one Mexican officer who was not on duty, but in the streets of the town half a mile back of the fort. He was acaptain in the army, and was struck by a shell from the Mississippi, and we nee say was almost annihilated. Another sheil from ississippi set the Mexican colors on Gre in the fort, but they were speedily replaced. in this attack the same pilot who was on board the Truxton when she got ashore piloted the McLane. His name is Jim McNeil, and he is a Scotchman. He dis- cl jod his duty under the impressive belief that upon the first accident he would be shot. We believe it is not retende that he played us false. The pilot gave warn- ing of the danger in season, and the vessel went ashore in going about. ‘hat we should have escaped from this enterprise without any loss appears almost miraculous, so thickly flew the shot. It struck all around the boats, it ricochoted over them, and one shot struck an oar blade. Had grape sbot been thrown, we should undoubtedly have had a lamentable loss of life to record. ibject of remark among the officers of the foreign vessels on that So far as is known, they look upon the iss is unfortunate, but as in no way disgraceful to our arms. They fully appreci- ated the difficulties which had te encounter, and were not surprised b: It is idle to deny, however, that the result will disappoint the country, and we might be ready to join in lementations over it, w we not assured that the Commodore by no spairs of succoeding in his purpose, multifariot the difficulties he wiil hi difficulties will Sommo- pport of re obviated or over- come.

The sailors succeeded in passing themselves off fas the crew of the bark, and they cemmunicated with the consignee of the vessel. He proceeded in conse- quence to write a letter to be forwarded by them to the captain of the bark, and was in the act of delivering it to them when some one gave him a hint that they were men-of-war’s men. He sent immediately off fora guard to apprehend them, threatening to have their throats cut in six hours; but before the lancers arrived, which was quite ly, the wind lulled,and another boat was sent if | off by the Commodore and took the sailors on board. The boat in which they were cast ashore was burned by the Mexicans.

The Political Intrigues of the Day—Will Gardiner Resign? There are disclosures making here from time to time of plots and intrigues of a nature perfectly insidious and alarming. The outlines of one of these plots which has been darkly hinted at by one of the confidential advisers of Silas Wright, will, when fully developed, be rather calculated to impair the confidence of the anti-renters in the mongrel administration which, for peculiar purposes, they bave been instrumental in putting into power. This faction contemplates the accomplishment of a specific object; what that object may be we will not pre- tend to say. But we will that the means which they regard as very material to the perfection of their plang, are likely to fail. The very head of the Govern Le may fall; this contin; y depends, we suppose, upon circumstances over which mon have no influence; but that the feilure of the next subordinate officer of go- vernment to yield his support and approbation to the measures for ‘which he received the votes of the anti- rent party, depends exclusively upon such a contingen- cy, there are great and reasonable doubts. i ‘That officer has ived the news of his re-election, under circumstancs peculiar, with marked disple sure ; it is known that he has had repeated conferenc with Silas Wright during the past week, upon this de cate subject ; and, finally, it is even known that he ha: contemplated, and now contemplates, a resignation of his office.

Business during the week has been pretty brisk, although there have not been so extensive transactions in cotton as was anticipated, owing to the difficulty of negotiating exchanges, both foreign and domestic, which has caused the market to waver, notwithstand- ing a reduction in freight has partially counterbalanced the great decline in exchanges. There is also a reluc” tance to go extensively into the market by buyers until the state of the foreign market can be asceriained, and there will not be a heavy business done until the recep- tion of the next news, which will be about Friday next, (and not {then unless the news is favorable).

The goods for which th brought were purchased between that time and the month of Decomber following, by two per- sons named Hopper and pra A as the agents of Knapp, and were delivered to him at his store.
