J suppose you have had all sorts of jubilees over the lorious victory of Gen. Taylor over Santa Anna. Well, fr'you had been here yesterday you. would have thought by the noise, that a liftle patriotism had been imported into Mexico. First, Gen.

Gen, Worth then managed to have correct intelligenee of the battle conveyed into the city, with the intimation that we should fire salutes of joy. Yosterday, about noon. our ships of war began to ‘thunder into the ears of the beseiged enemy what our troops had done with Santa Anna’s army, and to convey to them an idea of the fate that awaits them h “Boong!”” Hold on an instant—let’s see which way that big dinner pot comes! “Whiz-z-2-!"—there it comes, circling over—aiming directly for my devoted head! there it comes, cloner, cloer!—now it falls down, down'— which way can a fellow dodge?—down it comes into the sand, witha heavy, dead sound, about half a mile off, and now it explodes with a noise equal to the report of a six-pounder, and the air ia filled with sand, bullets. and fragments of the huge shell, It ix dimlcult to tell where a shell will strike when it comes in a line towards you; and as they have thrown a number of their dinner pots (13-inch shells) far beyond us, ax well as into the lines, it behooves one to pay a little attention to the reports of heavy mortars, and throw himself down when the sholls fall near him. You can form no idea from any description I can give you of the ludicrous scenes that have been witnossed on shore here during the last few days. The norther caught two or three hundred seamen on shore, They bad noth- ing to do and no place in particular to go to. They had been working in the water, and had left their shoes on board ship, 0 that all were barefooted.

Santa Anna, in the con(licts of Buena Vista, on the 22d and 23d of Februury, 1947. It is written in fine taste.

The Commanding General has the grateful task of congratulating the troops upon the brilliant success which attended their arms in the conflicts of the 29d and 28d. Confident in the immongo superiority of numbers, and stimulated by the presence of a distinguished leader, the Mexican troops were yet repulsed in every effort to force our lines, and finally withdrew with immense loss from the field. 2, The general would express his obligations to the ofticers and men engaged. for the cordial support which | they rendered throughout the action, It will be his high- ext pride to bring to the notice of the government the eo officers and corps, whose once saved t fortunes: He would also express his high satisfaction with the conduct of the small cominand left to hold Sal- tillo.s Though not 4o seriously engaged as their comrades, their services were very important and efficiently render- ed.

Mason, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, & Affairs in Canada, (From the Montreal Herald, March 27.] It is understood that some offers have beet made to the influential French Cartadians, with a view to obtain their co-operation in the Government. Nothing certain is known us to the nature of the commanications which have taken place; but it is easy to understand the ground upon which the negotiation was commenced. At pre- sent, partion in the House are divided into the French Cavadians, with two or three upper Canapians, form- ing the opposition ; and the great body of British Canadians, with two or three French” Canadians, forming in like manner, the ministerial side of the House. Now, as these divisions are based on no important practical question, the whole quarrel, at least since Lord Metealfe’s departure, has heen a personal one; the ery of the French Canadians has been that thi re ruled by 4 majority composed of another race, The ministry have been quite strong enough hitherto, to hold their own ground, and while they remain so, will clearly betray their trust if they voluntary hand over the reins of gorernmont to the combination which formerly ruled for that would only reverse the evil, and place the British inhabitants in the position of which the French now complain, They have, therefore, wo presume, again attempted to effect a coalition with their opponeits, order to form a ministry on the only basis which cai adopted.until parties shaKdlevelope themselves upon some practical question. ‘The next session of Parliament may probably be the commencerent of a reorganization on commercial policy. It isreported that the negotiations have failed. The Chief Justiceship still remains open, and there are three more judgeships, which must shortly full in ‘These occasions are very embarrassing under our system For instance, our present Attorney General (West) is universally considered the head of the Cabinet; he is also generally admitted to be the first man at the bar. Under any other Ministry than hix own, therefore, he would certainly be named to fill the first vacancy on the Bench, But shoulda vacancy occur now, he will have to choose between the opprobrium of deverting his party and the commonweal, or of relinquishing his well earned right to the highest object of professional ambition. Our ‘municipal elections have gone off—not without dixturbance—but without serious injury. It is eald that the rows were got up by persons calling themselves con- servatives; but no one can protend that the heads of that party gave any countenance to them, or that the cou- servative press inany way attempted to excute them.
