G, Hunter, has had a short and glorious cruise. She has done more in one week than the whole squadron during the war. On the 29th ult. she arrived off Sacrificios, Without anchoring, she was ordered by Com. Perry to proceed and blockade Alvarado, until his arrival, She arrived off that port in the evening, and fired several shot at the fort. Com, Hunter then manned his bouts with picked crews, with the intention of cutting out vessels, taking forts, &e, Ke, Capt. H, wasto go in one ; Lieut, Bleecker in another, and Lieut, Marin in the third ; but about midnight the wind freshened, with a heavy swell, and they were obliged to abandon the enterprize for that night Early in the morning she flred a shot at the fort, and stood in towards tho bar; shortly after a boat was soon coming from the shore, displaying a flag of truce, ined the Captain of the Port, who had come to 8 the town to the Scourge. Ho stated that the military had deserted the place, and that the S. could enter the rivor, which she did, and anchored off the city Lieut, Marin, who speaks Spanish remarkably well, was immediately despatched ashore to demand of the autho- ritics the tinconditional surronder in .hirty minutes, of the city, forts, &e., &e. This was complied with, when Passed “Midshipman Temple, with tive amen, landed to take possession of the place, ithe Scourge then stood up tho river, captured, four schooners, one of which was burned, another abaudoned and_the remaining wero safely taken down The 8. then at 2 o'clock A. M., anchored off Fia-co-Talpam, which eontaing about seven thousand inhabits Liout, Marin was immediately sent ashore; he demanded the surrender of the place on the same terms that were given to Alvarado. He was compelled to rouse the Alealde from his bed, made. him assemble the Junta, and gavo him the thirty minutes. All was complied with, and the place regularly surrendered. ‘The Scourge then got under way, aud stood down the river for Alvarado. She spoke the Spitfire, which had been sent up after her. ‘The gallant officers and crew of the Scourgo were then informed that Gen. Quitman, with 2,600 men, and Commodore Perry, with a squadron of thirteen sail, had arrived at Alvarado, All thought that the Scourge had beon captured; and they were in roars of laughter, when Passed Midshipman. ‘Lemple de- livered up the command of the place to Conunodore Perry; the Passed Midshipman having only five men to garrison the city and seven forte. Tho ‘Commodore took all the squadron up to Fla-Co-Talpam, and then returned to Alvarado, and suspended Captain Hunter from duty. THE Ba (TLE OF LO8 ANGELOS, ETC. City or tH NoELs, CaLtronnta, Jan 20, 1317. Want of conveyance has prevented my communica- tions being forwarded to you for three or four months past. Ihave not seen a Herald for six months. I pre- some you havo heard of the defeat of Captain Mervine, of the navy, who had to rotire on board tho San Pedro, Ihave the happiness to inform you that the honor of our flag has been retrieved by the 8th (a Jackson day) on the banks of the Rio San Gabriel, and on the 9th on the plains De la Mesa, where Com. Stockton showed the Californians that he was again in the field; and they saw that they, the best of horsemen, on the fleetest horses, could not stop his progress through their country. J have neither time nor language to do justice to the Commodore. ‘The incidents of this week are full of in- terest. In the march of our forces, on foot, 150 miles, to this place, they had every difficulty to overcome. The artillery was threo times unlimberél by the artillery officer, to fire befere the river wus forded, and as many times the Commodore ordered not a shot to bo fred until the river was passed. He jumped from his horse, at moment the guns were stopped in the middle of the river, seizing hold himself, with one of his bursts of en- thusiasm, which thrilled every beart, and sent the object of his solicitude onward with cheers. ‘The commander of the enemy sent a flag, with two commissioners, to make a treaty. Tle only answer re- turned was, that the deluded men forced into the field. should be pardoned; but no others. T have not before this had the opportunity, nor have I how time to inform you, that the natives rose in this city, soon after Commodore Stockton left it for Monte- rey, in September, They did so, however, and again had the command in ‘the city. October they fired the roof of a farm house, where about twenty Americans, under Mr, Wilson, were defending themselves, and took them /prisioners. They also took from their families Messrs. A. B,Thompson, Daniel Hill, Thomas Park, Thos, Robbins, and marchod one hundred and. twenty miles to this placo, and discharged them ; marched them buck ; and in December, as Col. Fremont was approaching the town of Santa Barbara, again brought them here, near hegre fl on a journey to San Francis- co. ‘They took from his bed Thomas O. Larkin, U. 8. Consul, and by violent marches, hurried him to this city. For thirty to forty days theso Americans were impr. soned, but well treated, and closely guarded. Mr, Lar. kin received from the inhabitants and -officers fruits, clothes, money and furniture, and food sufficient for @ dozen men. As the Commodore drew nigh, these prison- ers were discharged, one by one; Mr. Larkin after the 4 last battle ; the Californians making friends at that late hour fast as possible PIASANO, FROM VERA CRUZ. [From the Washington Union, April 22.] We understand that letters have been received at the War Department from Major General Scott, as late as the Sth instant from Vera Cruz, He encloses three gen- eral orders, which have been issued tothe army. Wo lay them before our readers. ‘The general orders No. 80, he submits as his detailed report of the transactions of the army, connected with the capture of the city, and of the castle of San Juan de Ho adds that In the enumeration of * the active and efficient,” he might have given the names of many junior field offloers of ar- tillery, who assisted at the batteries, besides field officers of infantry, both regulars and volunteers, who command- ed the working parties in, and the guards of, the trench- es. He states that he may yot supply the omission at somo future time, and that both officers and mom ac- quired much distinction on those arduous and exposed duties. The General was using every exertion to procure wagons and teams for transportation for further opern- tions, in the mean time the city and camps remain free from signs of malignant fever, and he hopes will continuo healthy for weeks longer. With proper care, no serious apprehensions are enter- tained of any great mortality inthe garrisons to be left in Vera Cruz and the castle—nor among the hired people of the quartermaster's aud eommissary #departments—bo- cause the Americans will principally, if not only, occupy the water front ofthe city, separated from the’ inbabi- tants, and open to the sea breezes. On that front, look- ing to the castle,there are, at the extremities of the city, forts San Jago and Conception, and near the mole, spr cious and well-ventilated public buildings for the troops, hospitals and depots, This is believed to be the best dis- position for the health ofthe troops. A medical board bad then also a part of the subject under consideration, and might changethe distribution of the troops—taking the castle into consideration—and porbaps it might be found necessary to throw down, for better ventilation, a part ofthe walis of thecity. But the greatest source of malignant fevors is found in the want of ordinary clean- lines doors in the streets, on the part of the in- habitan Every thing is doing, or will be done, to cor- rect \hore filthy habits, He has ordered two companies of Ist infantry from npico to rtrengthen the garrisons ‘he inhabitants of Vora Crus, under the excellent go- vernment of Gen. Worth, are beginning to be arsured of protection. and to recover the cheerfulness of their spirits, ‘The General has some idea of selecting and sending home some of the beautifal bronze pieces taken with the castle and city, (118 out of more than 400,) They are held liable to be restored at the pacification; but they need not be restored without the untrammelled conrent of the United States. The General, however, proposes t end only a small number, about a dozen, trophies. '{ is about to #end other trophies —flag clors, ani tandards—by Col. Bankhead, selected on ac. count of eminent services in the siege, and partly be- causo of his infirm health, ‘The number of these objects is small, compared with the strength of the garrisons. Before he closes his letter he announces the arrival, by water, of 180 mules. He expects to receive an equal number from Tampico on the next day, besides 200 from the country near Vera Cruz. ‘The following is the con- clusion of the despate! “The land expedition that I ret.on foot the 30th ult., under Brig. Gen, Quitman, in conjunction with Commo- dore Perry, against Alvaradoand the works at the mouth of the river, has not returned, though | learn unofficial- ly that it will be back to-morrow, The joint forces found that the places lind been abandoned by the enemy, who left some guns—taken possession of by the naval expedition, My objects in uniting with the commodore were » To neutralize the inhabitants intthat direction, by assuring them of safety to persons and property; and 2. To open a market for the purchase of horses, mules, and beef cattle. | fear that we have not succeeded in the purchases. ‘The commodore had in view the open- ing a harbor for his smaller vessels, and to obtain good water for his squadron, if the enemy had chosen to de- fend his forts, at the month of the river, » would have been necessary to take them in the DETAILS OF THE OPr TIONS BEFORE VERA CRUZ.

Sir: Since my report of this date of operation in the batteries up to 4 o'clock, a. m., the hour when the troops are relieved. I have to for the information of the general-in-chief that the enemy opened a brisk fire on our batteries soon after sunrise this morning, without any effect; but about 10 o'clock, most of their’ batteries were again opened on us, and one man of company “B,” 2d artillery, was killed at battery No. 1, and three men ely wounded, il into battery No. 3, where four men of com- pany “F, 2d artillery, were slightly wounded. ‘The shell fell on one of the inortars, breaking the mortar bed, and throwing the mortar thirty feet from the platform— another mortar bed can be obtained from the ordnance depot, and the mortar will be remounted, We have been restrained by the want of shells from throwing more than one every five minutes during the day. | A fall supply will be in place to-night, and as soon aa it is dark enough to send them to the batteries with- out being observed by the enemy. 1 am, very respectfully, your obed JAS.

Scorr, Acting Adjutant Goneral, Army Headquarters, for the information of instant, and as soon nver had reported that the batteries were sufflciently advanced to receive seven mortars, | placed that number in battery, By two o'clock on that day I was prepared to open tho fire upon the city of Vera Czuz, At quartor past 4, [ received the order of the ge- neral in chief to commence firing on the city, aud the batteries Nos. 1, 2 and 3, were opened with great anima- tion and apparent offeot. From the moment the batteries opened on the after- noon of the 22nd instant, the fire has been incessant day and night. On the 22nd, and during the night, battery No. 1 was under the command of Captain Brooks, of the 2nd artil- lery; battery No, 2, under the charge of Lieutenant Shackelford, of the 2nd artillery. and battery No. 3, under the charge of Captain Vinton, of the 3rd artil- lery, and until the honr of his death, about 6 o'clock, P.M. when the command devolved ‘upon Lieutenant Vanvliet, 3rd artillery. ‘The severe loa to the army by the death of Captain Vinton, was the only loss we sustained on the first day. Several of the men were slightly wounded. The fire from the city and’ from the castle on our batteries, with shot, shells, and rockets, has been inter- mitted, but with very brief periods, since we opened our batteries ; and we must ascribe our safety under such a constant and heavy fire, to the skill and science of the officers of engineer's in the construction of our batteries. From the morning of the 23d to this morning, the teries have been in charge of Capt. McKenkie, of the artillery, and Capt. Anderson, and Brevet Capt. Taylor of the dd artillery. Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, M., I was able to place three more mortars in battery, but owing to the high ness of the wind, the shells could not be landed from the store-ship, and our fire to this time has been very mode- Tate, not exceeding one fire in every flve minutes. Last night I sueceoded in moving three 24-pounder guns to battery No.4, with the necessary ammunition and implements, which have been placed in battery. One more 24-pounder and two 8-inch howitzers will be moved out to-night, and to-morrow morning, (as we shall doubtless obtain a supply of shells to-day, the storm having abated sufficiently to land them.) I shall be able to open the four batteries with ten mortars, four 24-pounders, and two 8-inch howitzers, with increased effect, and renewed vigor.

Sir: Since my reports to army headquarters at 7 o'clock, P.M., lust night, [ have to state for the informa- tion of the general-in-chief that during last night a con- tinued firing from our batteries, with some increased ra- pidity from what it had been during the day, was kept up, with what damage to the city is not known, furthor than the destruction by fire of a building in the vicinity of one of the churches, and the almost certainty that every shell fell into the city. In the course of the night one additional 24-pounder and two 8-inch howitrera, with a supply of ammunition, were transported from the ordnance’ depot to battery No. 4,-and. were ‘placed in battery, except one of the 8-ineh howitzers, which has not been placed in position, aa the platform for it has wot yet beon finished. ‘The battery of four 24-pounders, and one 8-inch how- itzer, opened the fire upon the city about 7 o'clock A.M. to-day, and with the three mortar batteries, have kept a constant and rapid fire until late this afternoon, when the firing temporarily ccased, in consequence of the pas- sage of a white flag to and from the city. ‘The firing to-day has evidently been very destructive to the city, and several houses have been destroyed by fire, Four additional platforms for mortars have been con- structed to-day, and will receive, before the morning, that number of ‘mortars, which will be sent out to-night, and will bo ready to be opened on the city carly to-mor- row. leasures have also been taken to send out to tho trenches to-night a full supply of ammunition. With fourteen mortars, four 24-pound guns, andStwo 8-inch howitzers, a decided and effective impression must be made on the city to-morrow. No accident or injury to any person in the batteries and trenches has occurred to-day. {have the honor to be sit, respectfully. your obedient servant, JAMES BA HEAD Colonel Chief of Artillery. Lieut. Hl. L, Seorr, Acting Adjutant General, Arm Headquarters. Antitieny Hrangvantens, t Camp Washington, March 28, 1847 Sin,—I have already reported to army headquarters the operations in the trenches and batteries up to 6 o'clock, P. M., of the 24th instant. On the night of the 24th, another 24-pounder, and two 8-inch howitzers were transported from the ord- nance depot, to battery No. 4, and the 24-pounder, and one of the howitsers were placed in battery; the plat- form for the other howitzers not being finished; and by 8 o'clock, onthe 25th, they were ready with the other three 24-pounders, to open the fire upon the city. The fire from this battery was continued, with but very little interruption, the whole of the day (the 26th) with sig- nal effect, and from the opening of this battery at 8 o'clock, 4. m., tol o'clock, r. M., the enemy kept up a brisk and well-directed fire upon it of shot and shells; many of the shot passing through the embrasures, but fortunately no injury was sustained from them. The mortar which had been dismounted was roplaced, and a full supply of shells was recei' ing the night, All the mortar ‘batteries continue fire dur- ing the night, the fire being limited to ono in every five minutes, until early next morning, (the 25th.) when the firing was increased to about one hundred and eighty discharges of shells and shot per hour, aud continued to about 8 or 4 o'clock in thy afternoon, when the passage of @ white flag caused a cessation of the firing for an hour or two. It was again renewed, and continued all night, and to about $ o'clock, a.m. on the 26th, when the firing was stopped from ail of the batteries, by order from head-quarters, in consequence of an offer of the authorities of the city to capitulate ring the 26th platforms for four additional mortars were constructed, and that number of mortars was placed in battery, which increased the number of mor- tars in battery to fourteen. Tho troops remained inac- tive during this day, the weather being too tempestuous even to repair the damage made by the high wind. On the 27th, the mon were employed in removing the tand trom the trenches, which had been nearly filled up by the moving of it by the wind. ‘The engineers constructed this day three more plat- forms for mortars, and the mortars were being moved out in the afternoon, when they were ordered back to the ordnance depot, as being then unnecessary, ‘This day, the 98tb, the artillerixts are still in position at the batteries, and every thing in perfect readiness for any service that can be required there. estimate the number of shot and shells discharged from the batteries at about two thousand five hundred, but have not yet received an official report from the chief of ordnance of the exact number used. Having had the honor to be entrusted, with the com- mand, and having been almost continually in the trenchos, from the 22d instant, when the batteries wore opened upon the city, to. late hour yesterday afternoon, when hostilities ceased, and having had arduous duties to perform, I have to acknowledge the able support I have received from the officers of every de} the service; from the artillery officers for t and skilful management of the guns in the batteries; tive chief of ordnance, Capt. Huger, and other officers of ordnance, for their most efficient aid; from the officers of the quartermaster's department, (particularly Captain Cross and Captain Irwin,) for their peompiness in forwarding the ordnance and eup- plies to the batteries; and I have witnessed with much admiration the high professional intelligence and un- tiring exertion of the engineer officers on duty in the trenches. I should not omit to mention that two young officers of the corps of topographical engineers, Lieutenants Derby and Hardeastie, volunteered to serve in the trenchos, and did serve well and gallantly for twenty- four hours. My adjutant, Lieutenant Nichols, was always in at- tendance with me, and prompt and active in every duty required of him.

By the general's direction | marched to his support with about 200 men. On approaching the place, we udvaneed to reconnoitre, when the enemy opened & fire of musketry from a large body, stationed on either side of the road, on the hill rising from the further end ofthe Puente del Medio, a handsome stone stracture thrown weross a small stream of fresh water, running in- tothe river Antigua, The bridge was barricaded with ubattis, and entrenchments thrown up on the heights, I directed Lieut, Roberts to display in the chaparral to our right, and crossing below, to turn their left, while Capt. Pope, with two companies, crossed above and turn- ing their left, advancing the remainder by the road and bridge. Lieut. Roberts having before been over the ground, reached their left first, and drove them with great spirit from their position. We pursued them about a mile, when sunset induced me to halt, and recall . we returned to camp about men severe- ly wounded—I geants and two privates, We found three dead Mexicans in the pursuit ; but the contest having been in the: bushes, others may have escaped notice, An officer wounded, as was supposed mortally, was passed in the pursuit, but on our return the place could not be found. 1 have great satisfaction in speaking of the prompti- tude and spirit evinced by the whole command; but the activity and gallantry evinced by Lieut. Roberts and the two subalterns serving with him on this occasion—Brevet 2d Lieutenants Maury and Hateh—deserve particular notice. We took four muskets and many cartridges. ‘The enemy were estimated to be over two hundred and fifty men, and supposed to be an advanced party of a force of some strength, collecting between us and the Puente Nacionel, \ our obedient servant, PERSIFER F, SMITH, Colonel.

By extraordinary and unsparing efforts, they wore enabled, few aa they were, to’accomplish the work of many; and fo far asthe success of your operations before this city depended on labors peculiar to thelr corps, no words of mine can overrate their services. ‘The officers thus engaged are Major John L. Smith, he bd R. E. Lee and John Sanders; First Lieuts. J. L, Mason, P. G, T. Beauregerd, and J. J. Stevens; Second Lieuts. ZB. Tower and G. W. Smith; Brevet’ Second Lieuts. G. B. McClellan and J. G. Foster. ‘The obligation lies upon me also to speak of the highly meritorious deportment and valuable services of the sappers and miners attached to the expedition Strenu- ous us were their exertions, their number proved to be too few, in comparison with our need of such aid. Had their number been fourfold groater, there is no doubt the labors of the army would have been materially les- sened, and the result expedited.

Notwithstanding the strong provisions of printed Go- neral Order: ‘0. 20, Lege ming martial law, many undoubted atrocities been committed in this neighborhood, by a few worthless soldiers—both regu- lars and volunteers—which, though stamping dishonor upon tho whole army, r unpunished, because the criminals had not been selzed and reported by eye wit- messes of the atrocities.

Certainly the great mass ought not to allow themselves to be dishonored by a handful of scoundrel: who seout all religion, morals, law and de: ‘The fare, let every bad man be denounced in his act of guilt, seized, and reported for trial; and this army will march in triumph, and be everywhere kindly received and sup- plied with’ necessaries and comforts by the peaceable and unoffending inbabitants of the country. As one preventive to outrages—and all officers will seek to apply others—no man will be allowed to stray from his camp or post, in future, without a written per- mission; and no such permission will be given to any soldier not known to be sober and orderly in his con- duct.
