(From the New Orleans Picayune, May 27.) Our correspondents do not cease expressing their _as- tonishment at the convalescence of Gen. Shields. By a paragraph in one of Mr. Kendall's letters below. it will be seen that even an attack of pleurisy has failed to cloud bed prospects of recovery. this case appears almost mira- culous, 7 The letter which we subjoin, from our Vera Cruz cor- respondent, gives the particulars of an affair close to Vera Crus, in which @ small band of Mexican ladrones was taken prisoners, Vena Cruz, Mexico, May 21, 1847. A yery nice litte affair came off lst night, about four hundred yards from the Gate of Mercy, about 11 o'clock, which resulted in the death of three Mexican guerrillas, besides severely wounding a fourth, and finally with the capture of mine others, whi are now safely lodged in jl with a fine prospect before them of swinging for offences. The eircumstances of the transaction have been rela- ted to me by two of the party, and are as follow: Colonel Tom. Banks,:who was the leader of the party, learned from a good source that such a party had visited the suburbs of the ety for, several nighte in ruccossion, and had succeeded in ‘stealing several horses from the wagon yard. By th consent of the Governor he raised & volunteer compa of soven men, and on Wednesday night sallied forth to catch the varmints, but without making any discoveries. Last night they thaught to try thelr hand again, ahd accordingly about 10 o'clock they arrived in the neighborhood of the wagon yard. Four men were placed where they could ree and not be seen, and the other three advanced in different directions, about one hundred and fifty yards from the main body ‘They were not long in this position before one of them discovered one or two men advancing. He hailed, But they advanced upon him, The Moxican in advance, after getting his ribs scraped with a musket ball, took to his heels, whilst the other advanced with ‘sabre drawn for a regular sot-to, but a pistol ball settled him, Unfortunately for the first ono he ran close to another of our party, who brought him down with a rifle. It was about this time that several others of the guerrilla party made their appearance for the fray, but they were soon made to retreat to a hous near by. They had succceded in barrackading all the doors but one, and hiding their arms like cowards, when the immortal seven came up and burst open the door, taking them all prisoners, without opposition. On searching the house they found their arms, and their horses and equipments were found in the yard, which was enclosed by a very high stone wall, and aa our guard had never been extended that far, they no doubt thought themselves perfectly seeuro, A ‘more precious looking set of scamps than these prisoners I never laid eye om A portion of Col. B,’s party stayed to guard the house and property, and suceeded in arresting three men this morning, ali well armed and well mounted. There is no doubt & large party of them in the neighborhood, and no doubt the same that cut up the small party of dra- goons at Santa Fe. The American Bagle says the spoils secured by this affair consisted of nineteen horses and five mulvs, one American and nineteen English muskets, fourteen enco- pets, twelvo pistols, twenty-three saddios and bridles, about 400 weight of ammunition. ‘The prisoners will be brought to trial and severely deait with. Tam indebted to Mr. Diamond for the followin port, which is as full an account as I can give you of the affair referred to, with the exception that the captain does not state in’ it how he escaped, which, I learn, was dono in a small boat, in which he succeeded in reaching one of our steamers'a few miles distant, Report of Capt. Buisson, Schooner Fraternity. On the 8th of May left Vera Cruz in company with the sloop of war Germantown, and arrived at Nautls on the 10th, The captain of the’ sloop of war fired a gun soon after our arrival and hoisted a whito flag, soon after which the authorities of Nautla came on board the sloop and signed all the documents necessary to place the town in possession of the Americans. This being done, the Germantown sailed for Tecoluta, and the Fraternity remained for the purpose of disposing of her cargo, At ten o'clock on the morning of the 13th, about three hundred armed Mexicans arrived at Nautla from Mi- soulta, and took possession of the town. ‘They also seized the authorities of tho place, together with Mr. Henry Godet, supercargo of the Tholemity, Mr. Derbes, a pas. ‘senger, and five of. my crew, all of whom were carried bound toMisaulta. ‘Two of my crew wereon shore with me at the time, and the other three were taken from my vessel, which was lying outside the bar, two miles from shore. At two o'clock on the morning of the next was boarded by about thirty armed men, who ran'the vessel on shore, stripped her of her cargo’ and set her on fire. : ‘The following are amongst the leaders in the attack, whose names were obtained by me, viz: Pepe Nunez, Ga- bracl Acerta, Rosano Mendes and Augusta Arloga, [From the Vera Cruz Eagle, Ma: 19 Whilst the army is pushing into the interior, Com, Perry is employing every hour in hunting about the coast for some new enterprise to distinguish his noble officers and men. He has now been gone for several days in a southerly direetion, and we expect soon to hear of some achievement, which will probably add another gem to the already brilliant crown of which already encircles it. Capt. Mayo, Governor of Alvarado, started on an ex. pedition on Thursday, the 13th inst., against a town of considerable importance, called (we believe) Talascoya, accompanied by eighty men. ‘This place is said to be nearly one hundred miles in a southwest direction from Alvarado. He took gunboats with him only. On arriv- ing at the place, he was received in all kindness, every attention being shown him that could be extended, in order to render his visit agreeable, and arrangements were made for the surrender of the town. We under- stand that Capt. Mayo declined leaving any force there, however, as it would have weakened those under his command too much. Oh his return, and whilst in his boats descending the river, which is represented as being both narrow and shallow, he was fired upon from a dense chaparral, and one officer and five of his seamen wound- ed. The following is a list of their names: J.G. Pringle, passed midshipman, badly wounded; J. B.Totten, seaman, do do; Henry Wright, seaman, do do; John Ells, seaman, wounded in two places; James De Course, seaman, wounded severely; Wm. Grant, soa- man, do do. Brevet Major Dimmock arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th inst. from New York$in the bark Edwina, with portions of the 5th and 7th Infantry and one company ofartillery. He is ordered to rendezvous at the Puente Nacional (National Bridge) on the Jalapa road until further orders. ‘The Eagle says that Col. Sowers was in Vera Cruz on the 22d, with despatches for General Scott. Puxnta, May 19, 1847. The Americans entered this city on the 15th inst. without finding any resistance, although it cannot be denied there was some hostile disposition manifested on the part of the people here against the soldiers. ‘The commander-in-chief (he refers to Gen. Worth) takes, however, every precaution, and it is to be hoped that within a short tiine the inhabitants will be more re- conciled to their fate, national glory Javara, Mexico, May 16, 1847. I regret to state that Captain Mason, of the rifles, died last night. He is to be buried this afternoon with mill- tary honors, He was a gallant and most promising young officer, beloved by all. ‘The order is out for the marching ef Gen. Twiggs’ di- vision. It is to move on Tuesday towards Puebla, Gen. Scott accompanying it. A garrison remains behind un- der Col. Childs, composed of both regulars end volun- teers, every way able to hold the position against any odds the enemy may bring. There is no mistake that General Scott's proclamation, which went directly home to every reflecting Mexican, is doing a great deal of good. Hart and Wells, the theatrical managers, have given s grand funcion ‘at tho Pasa de Toros—a regular bull fight—so you see that we are not entirely destitute o amusements, especially those of a refined nature. To- day there is to be grand cock fight, und also another fight, and at night there is to be a theawical per- formance at the theatre. This is « lively country. A Spanish danseuse, said to be pretty, has arrived from the city of Mexico, has been engaged by Hart and Wells, and makes her first appearance to-morrow night. Yrom Santa Anna we have more positive information. It is certain that he has passed through Puebla, and with @ fore jously estimated from 15,000 to 30,000 men—the former number is doubtless nearer the mark, Some or the Mexicans here say that he will make a stand somewhure between Puebla and the city of Mexico, and that he bas three or four pieces of cannon. Others bo- lieve that there will be one grand struggle at the city of Mexico—a last effort for the liberty of the Republic. ‘Among the foreigners, again, there are thove who be- lieve that Santa Anna is only pushing on towards the capital to control the elections and help himself,by force, to the highest office; and that then he will come out in favor of peace with the United States. Others, and among them those who pretend to great knowledge of the country and its public men, say that Santa Anna will never give up #0 long as he can draw around him » force sufficient to make any kind of a show against “los Yankees,” he himself always taking care to be in a posi- tion where he can save his own precious body in case of & reverse. I have thus given you all the various opinions afloat, and must leave it to wiser heads to pick out which isthe most reasonable. Santa Anna’s whole life has been one of ups and downs—has been a riddle. After his disas- trous defeat at Buena Vista all thought his power com- pletely broken up; yet he was found again in full force at Cerro Gordo, ‘There he met with the worst reverse of all, and every one supposed him completely annihila- ted; yet we new know that he has collected another force around him, that he is pushing for the capital, and it is fairly to be presumed that a man 40 full of expedients may yet give the American arms some trouble, Had Gen. Scott. been in possession of the proper means on the eve of the battle of Cerro Gordo, the city of Mexico would at this moment have been under the American flag, and very likely without the loss of a man—he had not the proper means, and the road may not now be found an open wa: As yet I have received no further papers from the city of Mexico—nothing later than the 8th inst.—but I am in hopes daily of obtaining full files. ‘They shall be for- warded immediately, by private express, if no other op- wegen offers. Gen. Scott, owing to the non-arrival of a train oxpect- ed this morning, will not move for two or three days to come PSA bs yang 3 has just told me that Gen, Worth entered Puebla on Saturday last, without opposition. At that time he says, Santa Anna was encamped at San Martin Tesmelucan, ten leagues on the other side, There isa that Gen. Worth is in hard pursuit of him beyond Puebla, and I think very likely such is the case. Santa the sole Anna will find little rest, of his foot if Gen. W. gets in pursuit of him, We must have definite intelligence before to-morro ocurred in the direction of Poebian e al that has Jatara, Mexico, May 19, 1847. ‘We have some further reports in relation to General Worth’s entrance into Puebla, although as yet there is no official or positive information. A German who arrived from the cit; of Mexico last night, and who ap- pears tobe an intelligent man, says that when the ad- vance of Gen. Wor had reached @ point a few miles this side of Puebla, on the 16th inst., Santa Anna was in the city distributing shoes to his soldiers; that to delay advance of the Americans he sent out a Party to was attacked by irmish with them; that this part Gen. Worth, driven into the city with, the loss of several killed and wounded, besides many horses, and that so hotly were they pressed, that Santa Anna was obliged to retire without having time to shoe all his men. Such is the report, and it looks reasonable enough, of the Ger- man. Gen, Worth entered the city at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, the 15th. Asthe gentleman left Puebla about that time, he ceuld not say whether Santa Anna was pursued or not. Other accounts suy that Santa Anna fell back as far asSan Martin Desmelucan,which he intended to fortify, while others again will havo it that a grand stand is to be made at or near Rio Frio. ‘The former is situated ona plain and there nature has given little or no strength of position; while at the latter there are several very strong polnts, one, in particular, which may be. forti- fied. “1f Santa Anna, too, can get up another excite- ment at the capital—and’ he can do almost any thing With his countrymen—he oan obtain immense assistance in the way of throwing up works, Rio Frio, ifmy me- mory serves me right, is but tenor twelve leagues this side of the city of Mexico; yet it is said there is a road which turns it completely. “Be this as it may, there are certainly indications that the Mexicans are determined upon making another struggle, although it must again result in their utter discomfiture, After the successful storing of Cerro Gordo by Colonel Harney,from which he drove a well fortified force of more than double his own number, there is nothing the American arms cannot do. - Some fears are manifested that an express from Gen. Worth has been cut off by the rascally guerilins. He most certainly would have despatched a messenger, un- leas he had received direct orders to the contrary; yet no person has arrived. The first thing the gacrilias know. alot of them will be strung up one of these mornings, The diffoulty between Santa Anna and Gen. Minon ta.avory pretty quarrel as it stands. ‘The. former or- dered General M. at the battle of Buen Vista, to go in the rear of General Taylor, and when he, Santa Anna, drove old Rough and Ready from the Angostura or Nar- rows, Gen. M. was to fall upon him and cut him and his army entirely in pieces. ‘This was perfec: lyunderstood be- tween them. Well, after Santa Anna was forced to fall back, for the very good and most excellent reason that he could not induce General Taylor to budge an inch, he Accuses General Minon openly of not obeying his orders, ‘The latter says, in justification, that if Santa Anna had driven General Taylor from his position, as he had agreed to do, that he was ready at tho mouth of the nar- rows to make an end of ‘los Yankees” with his cavalry. I do not know how the matter will ond, but so far Santa Anna has the worst of it most decidedly. ‘There are occasional deaths among our wounded men, but the worst of those injured ut Cerro Gordo are doing well. Speaking of wounded men, I will relate one little incident. When Gen, Shields was brought out from the spot where he was wounded, to a place where several oth- ers had already been taken, I happened to be present.— After the wound ofthe gallant general hag been dressed, the hurts of the others—perhaps there were ten or fif- teon of them—were attended to. Among them was one stout Illinois man, named Ford, the half of whose head least appeared to have been carried away by & heavy annon ball. One of our best surgeons, Dr. Wright, went up to the poor follow when histime came, and to my astonishment commenced clipping the shattered por- tions of his face, jaw, and ear, which still hung to him, and afterwards {dressed the wound aa well as circum: stances would admit. I say wound; it was worse than a wound, and a description of it would be too horrible.— ‘The battle was now over, and every moment they were bringing in some fresh victim of the result of the recent strife. It seemed to me that others needed the services of the good surgeon more than did the unfortunate indi- vidual in question—his case was certainly hopeless.— ‘There were arms and legs to amputat is to extract, and tho writhings ot the wounded showed how much they needed the surgeon’s offices; yet he continued with the Iinois man until he had patched his shattered head and bound it up as well as he was able. This was on the 18th of April. ‘Two or three days since, when nearly a month had passed away,I met Dr. Wright here in the streets of Jalapa, and asked him how long the man in question lived. If 1 was ever astonished in my life, it was when he told me that he was still alive, and what was more, he was well and hearty! A portion of his face, his jaws on one side, and his earare gone, but the man will soon be strong enough to shoulder his musket again, and is said to be more anxious than ever to have another turn with the Mexicans. Four men belonging to the army are to undergo most severe punishment this afternoon: they are to receive thirty-nine lashes each, in the Plaza, are to have thelr heads shaved, and after the word “ robber” {s pasted on each of their backs, 7, are to be drummed out of camp. This thing of publicly whipping a man {s most degrading; but their crime was the premeditated rob- bery of the house of a Mexican, and under circumstanc: deserving of the most severe punishment. Three of them belonged to the 4th Artillery, and one of them to the 2d Pennsylvania regiment. JaLava, Mexico, May 20, 1947. We are atill without further positive news of General Worth, and it is now almost certain that his despatches are cut off. He would hardly enter so rich and populous a clty as is Puebla, without sending an official account of it to Gen, Scott —at least such is the impression. The Mexicans here have news from the city of Mexico hich we cangot get hold of, their own courlers doubt- less running regularly. One of them told me last night fifteen battalions of the National Guard have been thoroughly organized at the capital, that fortifications are already in process of construction at or ner Rio Frio, that the bells have been run up into cannon, and that the owners of an iron foundry at the city of Mexico, Englishmen, have been compelled to cast balls on the promise of remuneration hereafter. Understand, dis- tinotly, that I get all this from a Mexican, and that it must be taken with allowance but that there is now ® prospect of another fight, and » hard one, it is considered certain by many. To my thinking it will depend much upon the result of the election of President, news of which has not as yet reached the Americans here. If Herrera has been chosen, and there certainly was a party in his favor, it may be put down as @ guaranty that peace measures will prevail. On the other hand, if Santa Anna has been elected, or a friend of his,the struggle may be protracted, and another stand made this side of the capitol. It is now certain that Santa Anna was not in th Mexico to control the late election in person, his approach with an armed force may have effect upon the States of Puebla and Mexico. The four individuals I spoke of yesterday as having been guilty of robbery, receiveda portion of their sen- tence last evening and the rest this morning. A most disgracefal figure did they cut, marching through the streets with their heads shaved, the word “robber” pin- ned upon their backs, and a band of music playing the “Rogue’s March” immediately in their rear. thee names Tors Honey Road, Hugh Duane and Renjamin Potter, of the 4th Artillery, and D. F, Revalon, of the 2d Pennsyl- vania Volunteers. The latter was found guilty of horse stealing; the three former of breaking twice into the house of the same Mexican, and with threats and vio- Isnoe robbing him of every thing he possessed. Hard and degrading as was their punishment, every one says it was deserved. JaLara, Mexico, May 21, 1847. There is « good deal of doubt and uneortainty in re- lation te the President in Mexico; a good deal of sur- mise as to the manner of choosing this high functiona- ry, in the present instance. By the constitution, the plan of electing the president ia somewhat similar to that of our country ; each State in Mexico, through its State Legislature, elects its candidate for Chief Magis- trate from among the different members. This note carefully sealed and sent on to the capital, and when are counted the individual who has the vote of the greatest number of States is declared duly elected. Such is about the amount of the law in relation to the matter; yet it is known that in September last the Con- gress of the Republic, in an extraordinary session, chose Santa Anna President and Gomez Farias Vice President, and the same Congress, in the present distracted state of the country, may do the sume-again. If the high func- tionaries are chosen according to the constitution there are several States—Vera Cruz, Tamaulipas, Nueva Leon Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nueva Mexico, Upper California, and perhaps one or two others—which ca take no part in the election, from the fact that they are occupied by our troops. We shall know all about this matter in the course of # few days, and in the meantime | can inform you that there are many intelligent and thinking Mexi- here who believe that Herrera will be elected, but ps with them the wish is father to the hope. The advent of the American troops in any part of this country gives the populatoon of the towns and cities two separate and distinct frights; the first is when they hear ofthe approach of “los Yankees,” for such have been the porte, circulated by the Government that they honestly believe that their houses are to be robbed, their wives and daughters violated, and every species of out- rage committed; the second fright is when they hear that the Americans are to leave them, for they soon learn that their trade is better, that they have greater protection, and that the laws of the strangers are more wholesome, liberal and give greater safety than they have ever bps under their own. They have been buying and selling, too, have been trafficking with the Americans, contrary tothe express injuctions of their rulers, and now it is their own people, their own lawless and half fed reat that they really fear the wi A day of sorrow will that be for Mexico when the Ameri- cans leave it, although for one I believe that that day is i be As long as jo eed hold supremacy in 6 001 our armies certainly cannot evacuate it.

The train which started up under escort of Captains Walker and Ruff arrived yesterday, and it js now said that an onward movement to-morrow has been decided upon. A great excitement has been caused here on its being ascertained that no less than twelve wagon loads of sutler’s stores had-been found scattered through the train, to the great detriment of the service.

Valencia, with 14.000 men, is to meet our army this side of Mexico, but there are so many re- ports that we can make little out of them. Elloriaga is certainly talked of for the presidency. Jatara, May 21—12 o'clock. ‘Tho diligence hasarrived from Puebla, but nothing of- ficial had arrived from the capital previous to its depar- ture. The passengers state that it was current at that place that Herrera had been elected President. I receiv- ed aletter from Puebla, of which the following is an ex- t ract : “ We entered this place on the 1sthinst. The nativ: although quiet ye tabbed several of the men, have killed two attacked in Amasoca by ta Anna, with ut 1500 cavalry—he lost three kille and seven wounded. ‘Tho old coiger took a fit of leaving for Mexico, where he is fortifying the Penol and Ayotla,” Thayve seen another letter, from an intelligent source, to gentleman in- this place, which says that Santa Anna retreated from Puebla to San Martin, and subse- quently left for the city of Mexico; also that we are to be met on the road, somewhere, with 10,000 mon, under one General, whose name I do not recollect, and 4000 under Minon. So mote it be—the more the better. No doubt by the time we meet them, their force will be aug- mented to double the number, We also learn that murders and robberies are being committed on the road daily, both by horsemen and footmen, The source of information ean be relied on. Ary or tHe East, Mevicat Derartment, Javara, April 19, 1847. Insrrctorn Gexenat—About midday, on the 17th inst. an action took place between some of our light troops, in & part of the mountain to the left of the public road and below Cerro Gordo, to which I ascended immediately, accompanying his Excellency, the commander-in-chief, From this point we could distinctly see our men endea- voring to repulse the enemy, who on his part di+puted the point with obstinacy. ‘At about 20’clock my aid, Tarbe, came to inform me that « considerable number of wounded had collected round my tent, (the fifth am- bulance or camp hospital.) Being ignorant whether the action had become general I could not dispose of any of my subordinates, who were all at their espective posts, and therefore was compelled to descend immedi- ately to the assistance of these unfortunates. At seven e’clock in the afternoon 133 wounded had come to my hospital, of whom 103 had been attended to, five ampu tutions having been performed and thirty-one balls ex- tractes Fearing, if the battle should continue the next day, to be encumbered with the sick and wounded, | dis- patched immediately those whose wounds had been dressed, in eight large wagons. and ordered Dr. Felix Orellane, surgeon of the army, to accom| the convoy that same night to the hospital at Jal: nd he started at 8 o'clock. I continued attending to the few wounded remaining, and at 12 o’clock at night we laid down, worn out with fatigue. At 6 o'clock on the morning of the 18th some more wounded arrived. Having ascertained that the enemy had rendered himself master of the wood and mountain which he had attacked the evening previ- ous, I considered that my camp hospital had become use- less and called Dr. Rivadencira to my assistance. I des- patched two more wagons with wounded to Jalapa, but without escort, as there was none disposable. As the enemy advanced, turning the Cerro Gordo, few wounded could reach my hospital, and as besides two congreve rockets fell, one close to my tent and the other in the park of artillery, which was only at the distance of a pistol shot, but fortunately without bursting, | con- cluded to avoid this danger and to go nearer the rear guard of our forces. Accordingly [ transported my camp hospital higher up on the public road, a distance of about ix hundred yards, to a hut fronting the com- missariat general, where at that moment, several wound- ed arrived, and among them the seargeant of artillery, Antonio Bustos, whose left foot had been carried off by a four pound ball, All our cavalry was extended on the public road; the brigade of infantry of Dr. Ortega was desconding at a rapid pace, so that it was with extreme difficulty [ could reach the house with my medicine chest. Dr. Dominguez, who came with this force, re- ported himself to me, and | detained him to assist in performing the amputation on Bustos. We made the hecessary arrangements for the amputation in the entry of the house, Drs. Tarbe and Verde holding the patient, and Domingues and Rivadencira assisting me. 1 had commenced cutting the flesh cf the patient, when a shower of balls coming from the woods in the rear of the house, and passing through its feeble walla, made our cavalry retreat in the'direction of Corral Falso.A woman, an old man, anda child of seven years, were wounded in the kitchen of the house, ‘The balls followed in every direction. Our cavalry continued the descent with im- punity, while our horses, tied to the posts of the entry, attracted the attention and the balls of the enemy. But honor would not permit us to abandon the sergeant, whose amputation was only half finished, although our death appeared inevitable, but a Divine Providence saved us. i continued attending to the various stages of the am- putation in the midst of balls and the cry of the enemy, and at last finished an operation which appeared to me to have lasted an age. The serenity and resignation of my companions in this erisis, were admirable, and is above description. All remained around the patéent, at- tending to the part of the operation which fell to their share, in the midst of the whistling of balls and thecries of death; and when we rose, looking to heaven with gra- titude fer our salvation, as we thought, a new peril ci todismay us. A number of volunteers presented them- selves in front of our entry, and seeing our uniform, cried “Death to the Mexican officers,” and presented their guns to our breast. I do not know what sentiment inspired me in the resolution which | took, but I rushed to the muzzle of their rifles—I showed them my band, dripping with blood, and holding a piece of the mutilated leg, oried—* ¢ humanity or a hospital of blood— we are surgeons.” My words produced a magic effect. In an instant an officer, whose name | have since learned to be Pion, stepped between the volunteers and ourselves, raised their guns with his sword, and these men, ani- mated by victory, thirsting to avenge the loss of their general, mortally’ wounded, as I have since learned, be- came from that moment our friends, our protectors. While these events were passing in by & hut, which will never beerased from my memory, our firing had ceased; the troops in the redoubts, finding themselves cut off from the public road, surrendered or capitulated; those on the slope of the Cerro Gordo retired through the ra- vines,and the enemy remained master of all our positions and the immense materiel. ‘Tho volunteers of the enemy commenced bringing in, without distinction, their own and our wounded, and we dressed their wounds according to the dictates of hu- manity aod our instructions. We performed various amputations on some real giants, which succeeded in gaining their good will to such an extent that they refused us nothing that could be useful to us or our wounded. Although two of their own surgeons had arrived, the body which I have the honor to command had the satis- faction that from their number was chosen one member to assist in some grave cases, even in that of General Shields, who had been traversed by « grape shot. On the 19th all_my companions of the camp hospitals of the redoubts, where they had remained at their post, with honor to their corps, until they reovived permission from the enemy to retire, presented themselves to me, and considering their presence in this place indispensa- ble, I have retained them near me.

Delta, May 27.] El Monitor, of the 28th April, urges the necessity of responding immediately to the éali of the government, and that every man or boy, capable of bearing arms, should do so without admitting any excuse under any circumstances. But the editors add, that instead of hurrying to the defence of the nation, there are many who go into the country, and others pretend that they have no arms, and are quiet at their homes, contident that others will risk their lives to detend thi but that if every man did not take up arms, the different bodies of national guards and militia would be dissolved, and h man would have to defend himself as he could ‘he Ayuntamiento calls on the citizens. ina lengthy and patriotic appeal, dated the 27th April, to aid the war in whatever manner they can, with arms, provisions, money, or anything else. The accounts received from the different departments, in regard to the arming of guerilla bands, were very encouraging to the Mexicans, At T'escoco they were eu- listing fast, both infantry and cavalry, under command of the different chieftains who had obtained appoint- Pp Marshal Soult’s tactics in Spain—that is, to punish with death ev Mexioan who should‘attack any American oud out of the lines of the army; but that if the Mexi- cans remember that they have a country, of which the Lary ge fighter _ rive them, those - ties would no! no ; standing its barbarous dictates, not lose their the; tack the French unt . The Tris recommends that the Mexicans should follow the example of the Spaniards; that if Generals Taylor and Scott have declared all Mexican bands or guerillas as outlaws, the Mexicans should likewise declare the Ame- ricans to be banditti, and, as in Spain, decide that for “ every Mexican that should be treated as a land pirate by the Americans, three Americans will be out of those into the hands of the Mexicans.” (The first difficulty in ing out this ferocious resolve will be to find Americans enough to allow three for every Mexican slain.

The labor at the tobacco warehouse (the gevern- ment's own) was stopped completely on the Ist of May, and hundreds of poor women were left without the means of raising money to buy bread for themselves and children.

Between Camargo and Mier, a short time ago, three Mexicans were waylaying the road to rob « Mexican merchant of Matamoras, who they knew was coming down from Mier with a large amount of money in his possession. The merchant had three men with him, and it chanced before her eached the spot where the rob- bers had posted themselves, that three Texan who had been out on » scout, struck into the road « short distance ahead of him, pursuing their way down to Camargo.

According to the recent law, which com- pels every citizen from 15 to 60 to take up arms, there will be gathered, in thirteen States alone, upwards of 32,000 men—provided all those who are liable to duty enlist.
