Jarara, Mexico, April 25. 1847. ‘The Mexicans here, one and all, denounce Santa Anna for a coward. a traitor. and every thing elee that fs bad; and 1 ¥, believe thut a majority of them would rejoice exe ingly had Gen. Scott captured him the other day and hung him bi the first limb strong enough to bear his weight. he is playing them false you cannot beat out of their heads—that he has sold the battlesof Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo for a consideration they are equally confident, and in proof they are eternally talking about the $3.000,000, ‘Th do not understand why it was that President Poll allowed him to pass into Vera Cruz from Havana, unless there was bribery and bel Viswey at the bottom— the idea that our troops are a whit better than thelrs, or that they can whip them, even two to one, when posted behind batturios, bas never entered their heads—and hence, as abetter exouse than none, there are many of them who say that they have been sold by the“ Hero of Tampico.” , there are doubtless many—perbaps the r portion —who have lost all confidence, elther in his honesty or bravery; and although they may not desire a peace with us, they are still anxious to Ci rid of the tyrant on any terms. Such is the state of feeling here in ‘Jalapa. informed you the other that I had a story to tell of Santa Anua und his travelling car: . Io csr haste to leave it he went off without taki any his effects—a small writing case only was found broken open, for he had no time to unlock it, from which he had evi- dently taken a few papers of great importance ; but the inajority of his effects—his silver plate, his papers, his money-—all were there in good condition. ‘Two of our officers entered the coach, and what did they find, after rummaging about, but a most excellent dinner, together with delicious wine and some bi flavored segars, ‘To say that thoy did not sit thomaclves comfortably down on bis richly cushioned scats, partake of bis sumptuous dinner, wach it down with his delicious wine, and finish it off with his highly flavored segars, would be doparting further from tho truth than ] care about doing just now. The names of the officers were Capts, Williams and McKinstry, and the dinner was a perfect windfall after a hard morning’s work, without eating, and with slim prospects ahead for food, A party of dcagoon offi- cers, some two or taree weeds sinc,, also had their own fun near Santa Anna’s estate of Mango de (lavo,— While huutin, ut the premises they stumbled upon the building where he kept his fighting chickens, ‘Those well informed upon the subject tell me there was a great deal of cock-fighting in that immediate section for a day or two, and that one particular fight created great ex- citement. A fierce looking rooster whieh they dubbed Gen, HA peat 80 large as some, but with game stick- ing out all over him—was pitted againsta long, gangling chicken that they gave his owner's namo to—a heavy’ but clumsy bird, with but little fight in him, Well, Gen. Taylor and Santa Anna, as represented by the chickens of the latter, were set upon one another, and after a few henry hits from the former the latter ‘va- mosed” out of the fight as fast as bis two legs would carry him, leaving Gen ‘Taylor's representative upon the ground crowing right lustily. Such are somo of tho accidents that have befuLen the “Hero of Tampico.” ‘Tho tirst number of the American Star is out to-day, ‘and is compleiely rnoning over with news and informa- tion. ‘The proprietors dusurve all success fer their pub- lic spirit, and I'am glad to see that their edition of this morning {s going off rapidly It is still uncertain when a main movement. of the army is to be made, The want of transportation is sv- verely felt, for with his present moans Gen, Scott finds the p paocint difficuity in extending his line of operations, In the meantime, small partiea of ladrones and ranche- ros are committing depredations in the rear; and auch is the nature of the country that they can only be punish- ed with the greatest difficulty, Trx O’Crocx, A. M.—The diligencia or stage coach is Just in from the city of Mexico, from whence they have received papers up to the 22d inst. ‘I'he newsof the terri- ble defeat at Cerro Gordo had reached the cupital, and while it astonished and overwhelmed all classes,the tone ofthe paperaof the publiemen, and of the Congrens itsel!, would also show that it had served to inflame the people still more against the United States. Anaya has been appointed provisional President, I believe, and has been gifted with full powers on every point except tbat in Felationto making peace with the United States—this no onethinks of, Congress, in extraordinary sostion, has evon declared uny one a traitor who talks of peace. “I editor of El Lepublicano says that wo may take Puchla, thut we may even capture the city of Mexico, but that there must be no peace. The duty of the people is to soe their eities sacked and destroyed, and themselves immoluted, before they talk of peace. ' The guerilla rys- tem of warfare appears to be recommended en all sides fas their only salvation; by this means they drove out the Spaniards, and in the same way they say they must expel the iniquitous, usurping and grasping North Ame- ricans from their sacred soil, Better all die, and be blotted from the seals of nations, than come to any terms so long as a single hostile foe is on their soil or a hostile vessel on their coast—such is the language of the papers, of the civil bodies, and of the military. From a passenger, a Spaniard, who arrived inthe dilt- genein, weleara tbat as yet they have done little oF no- thing towards fortifying Mexico. Ho also says that there is a strong party in favor of peace, although the mem. bers hardly dare avow themselves, There are no regu lar troops of consequence on the route; and all these who escaped at Cerro Gordo. with the exception of a portion of the cavalry,have dispersed in every direction. On the 20th April, finmediately after the receipt of the news of Santa Anna’s defeat, Gen. Mariano Salaa called @ meeting of officers, to devise some measures by which to preterve the nation from utter-obliteration. "No one here thinks that the Mexicans can ever mako another stand and give another grand battle, but the impression is prevalent that small parties will be organized to annoy. the ronds, cut off supplies, and kill all stragglers. How great, in this caso,is the necessity for two or three, or éven ono regiment of Texans. Jarara, Mexico. April 25, 1847. I have borrowed the copies of El Republicano for an hour, They are dated st the city of Mexico, April 21 and 22, and the latter gives a full ‘account of the battle of Cerro Gordo, The Mexican particulars of the combat, as usual, are peculiarly rich. They say that Santa Anna sustained the combat with 600 mon against 14,000, and fought valiantly to the very last. When, finally, he found himself’ entirely surrounded by enemies, he forced passage through ‘los Yankees” with « column of the 4th ‘egiment of the Infantry of the line! The fact, as every one knows, is that Santa Anna left early—all the cutting he did was to cut the saddle mule from his coach. and then cut and run. ‘The Mexicans admit that they had two generals Killed, but give no mame save that of Vasquez. Cols. Cosio and Calutayud are also named asamong the killed. Gen Scott's loss, on the 17th and lsth, is put down at over 4000, while the loss of the Mexicans is admitted to be 2000 men in killed and wounded. ey suy that the Americans fought liko hordes of savages, killing all that Presented themselves, whether wugoners, old men or women, Gen.

Salas, who was President ad (neste before the arrival of Santa Anna from oxile, has issued a proola- mation announcing that he is empowered to raise o Guerilla corps, and calls upon all good Mexicans to join is standard. In his concluding sentence he says that “war to death, without pity, shall be the device of the of vengeance |” 0 of the 22d inst, contains a long list of those persons who have contributed voluntary towards establishing a foundry for the casting of cannon. The same paper mentions the arrival at Orizaba of Santa Anna, but saya nothing of the number of troops he had with him, Ono of the best jokes in the Mexican papers is con- tained in the last paragraph of Anaya’s address to his countrymen. Ho says that he “has the satisfaction to announce that his excellency, Senor Don Antonio Lo- pes de Santa Anna, President of the Republic and Gen- eral of the Army, according to notices just received, al- though not official, has survived the catastrophe (defent of Cerro Gordo.) trom which it appears that Providence is not willing to fill the cup of our bitterness entirely to the brim !”" “This is entirely too good to be lost. If possible, | intend obtaining full list of all the of. cers under Col. Harney who took part in the noted and successful storming of Cerro Gordo, The name of the hill should also be placed on the colors of each regiment engaged. Words cannot describe the strength of the place, nor the immense difficulty, to say nothing of the danger, attendant upon storming it, Its said that San- tn Auna reinarked, the evening before it was captured, {Af the Yankees ean storin thia piace, thoy can storm hell iteelt | ‘The 3d and 7th Infantry, under Capt. Alexan- der and Lieut. Col. Piympton, went side and side; the Ist artillery, under Col. Childs, although stationed a short distance in the rear as reserve, could not be Te- strained and held back, while many of tho Rifles even left the position assigned them, and were “in at the death,” if lean be allowed aneh'an expression, Not s man who looks at the natural and artificial obstacles these men had to encounter, but must think they would deter and dismay the stoutest hearts ; yet every man under Col. Harney pressed onward, ne if determined to be first at the breastworks. ‘The history of war can hardly show a parallel to the storming of Corrs Gordo. Col, Martin Seott went on this morni’g with the Sth y to join the division of Gen. Worth, ‘The gen- impression now is, that General Scott, unable to keep up his communication regularly through the tierra ente for want of horses and transportation, will cat himself loose from Vera Cruz, push on towards the sity of Mexico, and to acortain extent depend uy; the natural resources of the country. To establish depots and guards between Plan del Rio and Vera Cru would expose the lives of hundreds of men—{ means during the sickly season—and wonld, besides the acclimated rancheros living in that section con. opportunities to rob and destroy the trains, as well as kill the few men who could be spared to protect ther. There is hardly a half inile on the road that does uot pcasess the best of cover for an ambuscade, and the great difficulty is that thore who perpetrate an outrage cannot be pursued and punished. As soon as Gen, Scott's in- tentions are made known in relation to his future move- ments you shall be made acquainted with them—at pre- sont I can only give you camp rumors, Jatara, Mexico, April 28, 1847, Among other rumors brought by passengers, is one to the effect that Mir. Bankhead, the British Minister, has renewed his offers of mediation between Mexico aud the MAY 15, 1847. United States, and that when the last diligencis left the city of Mexico the C was ac upon his proy | oy e Congress ting upon open sitions, whatever they may have been. Notwit! the fixed and denunciatory tones of the public preas, there is certainly a peace party in Mexico, and there tay be something in this report of English intervention in the distracted affuirs of Mexico. Col, Gerland’s bi left the Castle of Perote yes- terday morning at daylight for Tepe Agualco, and will reach that place to-night, Major Smith’s light battalion, 8 troop of dragoons, and Colonel Duncan’s battery, ac- company Colonel G. We learn that General Worth has been very successful in collecting supplies. An intelligent man with whom I have conversed, says that the Mexicans neither wi!l_nor can make any oppo- sition at Puebla, The population is one of the worst in Mexica, and the most inimical to strangers, yet the dreadful defeat at Cerro Gordo has completely paral: them. At the city of Mexico,a few light breastwor! have been thrown up, not only as you enter the place by the Vera Cruz road, but on the road leading to the Con- vent of our Lady of Guadalupe; but nothing like a regu- lar system of defence has been as yet undertaken. Not only the government, but the citizens Noy a with all thelr vauntings, to have become stupified at the succes- sion of defeats which have befallen thi ir country, and know not which way to turn or what todo. Santa An- na has written to the government from Orizaba, stating that he hag 1600 men. and wants reinforcements and mo- ney; but bis demands have been unheeded. At the city of blexid.as well ts ta oGier, places, the people appear to have lost much of thelr confidence in the Hero of ‘Tampico, and many have open accused him of cowar- dice at Cerro Gordo, as well as having sold the battle to the Americans. I am living at the Cusa de Diligiencias, or general stage houee; and at breakfast this morning some of the foreigners were speaking of ‘a body of m: under General Leon, who were on the march from Oaja. ca to join Santa Anna, and they also said thet Leon had shot two muleteers, on the plea that they had aided the Americans. The Mexican ladrones on the roads appear to be moro at war with their own countrymen thun with ours, pro- paw because they can purchase easier victories. ‘IT'wo Mexican officers, who left here a few days since for the capital, both of whom were wounded, were set upon b: Danditti om the road, and not only were they robbed, but one of thein was vevorely maltreated. ‘The news has also come in, well authenticated, that Captain Aranjo, a marine ofticer, who commanded both at Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo, was killed by, fan Indian three days since. He bad abused the alcalde of the village, when one of the bystanders shot him dead on the spot. Aran- jo was a noisy blustering fellow, and his own countrs- men do not appear to shed any tears at his loss. A paper publithed at Puebla on the 24th instant, La Verdad Demonstrada, came to hand to-day. 1 could ouly obtain th paper for a short time, but long enough to see that the fierce wrath of the editor was fairly boil- ing over. He denounces the Yankees, he denounces every body that will not turn to and help him to de- nouuce them. He eee od that there is @ party in Mexico, headed by jon and Gomes Farias, who are for selling the great Moxican republic to the North Ameri- n vandals, The following is a translation of a short ticle in La Verdad Demonatrada, which is given a8 o pecimen of the oditer’s thunder :— “By private letters we learn that the iniquitous Puros [the party of Farias, who are the republicans or ultra democrats] are anxious to raise another pronunciamen- to, and proclaim a union with the abhorred Yankeos.— Farias is at Toluca, (a city 16 leagues west of Mexico,) with the traitor Alaquibel, preparing measures for tho enslavement of his country. Rejon is equally hard at work at the ty, of Mexico. The valiant soldiers of the battalion of Hi ES arrested him the other day, but the government has placod him at unl 4 “The cunning dissimulator Senor {barra, venomous as a reptile, crawls forth obscurely from his lurking-place +| to-day, in order that to-morrow he may plant his mallig- nant teeth in the vitals of the Republic, All those spu- rious Mexicans wish to asanssidate their country. Im- pious ones! M ‘Bont anger of God confound, and the popular indi jon exterminate them! “Long live inuependence and liberty! Of with the heads of the vile traitors! May they die, to wash out with their blood the infamy they would bring upon this poor nation! And let us all prepare for a universal up- riving, which, like an electric fire, will consume and de- your the Yankees,”’ Majors Borland and Gaines, Capt. Clay, with the other prisoners taken at Incarnacion some ‘months since, are said to be at liberty in the city of Mexico. No less than. six of the purty, as itis reported, have already been us- sagsinated by the Mexicans, Et Monitor Republicano of the 21nt inst., contains Gen Taylor's address to the inbabitants of ‘I'amaulipas, Neu- va Leon and Coahuila, in relation to the outrages com- mitted by Urrea, The editor contends that all Urrea’s acts were hovorable and legitimate, alludes to the bom- bardment of Vera Cruz as an offset to any acts of the Mexicans which may be construed into atrocities, and enly of the barbarities of Scott and the despo- lor. (Las barbaridades de Scott y el despo- tismo de Taylor.) 1 have no time to xend you a transla- tion, for the article is'very long, but cannot say that the editor handles his subject very ingeniously. Vera Cnvz, April 29, 1847. An express arrived last evening from Lieut, Dixon in command of 102 convalescent soldiers from the hospi- tals is this city, on their road tojoin their respective re- bsg at and near Jalapa, stating that the party had n attacked by about 300 Mexicans. The express ri- der mot, two miles this side of where be left Lieut. D.,a train of about forty wagons,in charge of Capt. Croghan Ker, Some fears are entertained for a train that was so1gé five or six hours abead of them. In fact the Mex- icaus had great rejoicing amongst themselves last even- ing in consequence of the capture of one of our wagon trains by the enemy. Their accounts have it th: men (the guard) had been Mterally aut to pieces; but we have little faith in any thing that comes from such sourovs, The Mexicans have # Sine chance now to work upon our trains if they could only raiso courage enough to do it, Col. Wilson’s force at this place is too weak to spare many from it, and if the enemy should go to work wich determination they might reap a handsome reward, almost without opposition. The scarcity of cavalry 14 severely felt. Tho New Orleans, on her last trip from ‘Tampico found it necessary, to throw overboard about thirty of the best horses belonging to the Tennessee ca- vulry during a severe norther. A few cases of yomito are said to have ocourred, but in @ yery mild form. [From the Now Orleans Times, May 6.) Vera Crvz, April 27, 1847. Aletter from Mr, Black, Amorican ‘Consul at city of Mexico, waa received to-day, by a friend of his in thin city, from Tampico, at which place he had taken refuze after being harehly driven from the capital, and prevent. ed from taking the road to Vera Cruz. . He will probabl be in the United States before this letter is received; it 1s, therefore, unnecessary to enter into particulars regard. ing his ejectment. It is matter that gives me no sur- prise: | have only wondered that he was not sent off months ago, During the whole of this war, Mr. Black has kept up a regular correspondence with the Govern- ment of the United States, keeping it well informed of the facts occurring about him, and, in fact, pretty much throughout Mexico; for his correspondeuce has been vx- tensive, and his acquaintance with the people and Stat thorough. Perhaps there is no other man who cou have been #0 serviceable, and no other people who would have permitted him to hold the ground whieh he has so long oecupied. NEWS FROM SAN LUIS POTOSI, El Moniteur Republicano, published at the city of Mexico, has a letter from San Luis Potosi dated the 7th ult, ‘The letter says it was the intention of General ‘Taylor to move for Zacatecas and San Luis on the 7th of May. and that he had been reinforced from Matamoras and Camargo by 4000 men, General Urrea must be at this time at this (west) side of the mountains, as his last letters were dated from Linares. General Taylor has ad- vanced 3000 men to the hacienda of Incarnacion, and the remainder of his forces is stationed at Agua Nueva, We have at San Luis 3000 infantry and seme cavalry.
