(From the New Orleans Delta, May 30 } The victory of Cerro Gordo appears to have duced a more effect in the city of Mexico i Paige we have yet gained. The enemy had never before fought under such favorable circumstances— Mexican cunning was never before so embarrassed and cont for an w Sante Anns was never 60 completely stum; in his whole life The strongest evidence of the exhaustion and poverty of Santa Anna’s imugination on this subject, is to be found in the se- vere and free ex ions of the press, not only discredit- ing bis explanation of the Cerro Gordo affair, but also impugning all his former statements in relation to his battles. ‘The papers are loaded with these scepti- eal and satirical effusions. The current against him is rising higher and stronger. “ Why.” say these writers, “ are Generals Arista, Ampudia, Heredia, Canalizo, keo., £0 roughly handled by Sunts Anna's friends on acoount of their ‘misfortunes,’ when a much greater ‘ misfor- ’ of the General-in-Chief is praised rather as un act riotism than # disgraceful rout ?"’ excuses given heretofore by Santa Anna’s friends are not satisfactory to the unreasonable scribblers of the Capital. The pretence that the National Guard did not understand the use of arms. and bebaved badly in the action, is well met wih the reply that the National Guard were ull captured at their posts, bravely fighting, whilst the veteran regulars were escaping under Ampudia, Canalizo, and the General-in-Chief. ‘This is a good hit. Other ‘arguments are disposed of with like ense and jangency. Seeing that his case was badly presented by his friends, the General has seized his pen, and in the name of one of hin satellites, tries anew track, and presents his late © misfortune” in the following ingenious exporition, The reader will recognise in this article the characteris- tie style of Santa Anna. The allusion to Napoleon is decidedly Santa Annaish. To keep up that pleasant con- ceit which manifested itsef rather ridiculously in the tent of General Houston. when the Mexican chief “soft- sawdered”’ the Texan hero, am informing him that he was the “conquerer of the Napoleon of the West.” it has been the habit of Santa Anna, in all his mili- tary emergencies, to draw liberally for excuses and catixes upon the copious annals of the great Na- leon. His search, however, after analogies betwoen is situation and that of Napoleon, has introduced him to other great Generals, who, like himself, have been caught # napping, and in bis distress, he eagerly adopts the excuse which could not save the Austrian General from disgrace and a court martial. He calculates wise- ly, that what could not satisfy the stubborn good sense of the Austrians, may easily content the imaginative and windy Mexicans, But, Non nos tantas componere lites. Let the Mexicaus settle their own disputes. It is com- forting. however, to us to sve so fine an exemplification of the old proverb, that when ‘ rogues fall out, honest men get their due.’ It was only when the Mexican chiefs got by tho ears—when their military reputation demanded the admission, that they became willing to juiesoe in our claims to some consideration for prowess military capacity. The truth hus at last worked its way into Mexican confessions. Santa Anna, in order to Justify his rout at Cerro Gordo, bestows upon Gen. Scott and his lant army higher praiso, and confers upon this achievement a more brilliant renown, than our own warm imagiuations and proud hearts ever conceived of. Here follows the vindication of the military conduct of Gen. Santa Anna in the battle of Cerro Gordo, pub- lished in the Diario det Gobierno, at the city of Mexico, on the 30th April :— VINDICATION AF The internal enemies of the of our external hose who arv laboring to open to them the gat apital. neglect no means, how- ever criminal. of fomenting disseutions and distrust among us, a8 more favorable to the desigas of the inva- der is our own disunion,than all the disasters th: can suffer in combat. Hence the zeal and the bad faith with which they present to the public their accounts of the eveuts of the war, disiguring them in such a manner that the disasters of our army, as well in the North as in the East,may be attributed not to involuntary errors, but to treason. With & like motive do they endesyor to depreciate Gen. Santa Auna, knowing. a4 they do, that he is the enemy whom the North Americans most fear, and that he once out of the way, they will have removed the principal obstacle that they have met with up to the present time. in their career of destruction and con- west. w This idea predominating, these internal enemies of the country have published various pamphlets, repre- senting the triumph obtained by ourarms at the Angos- turaas a loss. At the present moment they are doing the same thing in relation to the actions of the Tele- grafo and Cerro Gordo, in both of which they censure the General-in-Chief, in terms so severe that it only remains to accuse hii clearly andexpressly of treason The editorial of the 38th numbér of the Bulletin of Democracy (whose authors are well known), 1s full of this kind of charges against Santa Anna, who is there ac- cused Of the loss of «erro (jordo, the article eaying that ull the bad misfortune proceeded from & want of fure- sight in the preparations, and froaz a like want of judg- ment at the time of the attack, and from bad arrange- ments. We are given to understand that he sacrificed uselessly a large portion of this force. And he is even blamed for not performing @ miracle by raising. in» mo- ment, & new urmy. just as if ho were nce in the time of the National Convention. We need only read, with a little attention, the said editorial, to pene- trate the depth and the wickedness of the design of it« authors. Unjust men! your calumnies suffice to detect your partiality ‘and your insane intentions. Without calling the attention of our readers to the documents published in the Diario del Gobierno, and in other papers, the Repnblicano, (which certainly eannot be taxed with partiality to Santa Anna.) in its number of the 23d inst.. gives a clear ides of what took place in this uction—dissipates the rash imputations of our ene- mies—-and depicting the conduct of the invader, his tac- tics. his numerical superiority, the advantages of his artillery, and all that contributed to facilitate his tri- umphy, demonstrates, most completely, that our loss was the result of inevitable misfortune. in fact, our position was well chosen; it was fortified as well ax circumstances permitted: ita flanks were co- vered; and all was foreseen that was to have been fore- reen in regular order, and in the usual tacticn of war. ‘True it is, that no expectation was entertained of the rare, bold and desperate operation of the enemy, who, in the night between the 17th and sth, broke through the woods, crossed # ravine up to that time never crossed, and taking in reverse the position which the main body of our army occupied, surprised it in the time of action, made a general attack on all parts at once, and cut off the retreat of tlie infantry, the artillery and even a part of the cavalry. It is pretended that even the General ought to have foreseen this risk, but to this argument two sufficient replies may b made: First—that notwithstanding the old opinion. e tirmed by the experience of the whole war from 1810 to 1621, that the road by which the enemy flanked us was impracticable, the General did'not neglect it, since he stationed, in order to cover it, the greater part of his cavulry in the mouth of the gorge; and if this force did not fulfil the object of its nission, the fault should not be imputed to the General-in-Chief. We do not intend ere to examine and qualify the conduct ofthe chief or chiefs of the cavalry; the fact is, that the point which this force should have guarded was left uncovered. and that is more than sufficient to just{fy General Sauta Anna Secondly—A recent historical fact may serve for the second solution of the question. We refer to the pus- sage of Bonaparte over the great St. Bernard, executed likewise at night, with such silence and despatch, that the Austrian general, deceived by the dexterity of the ation, suid, on the following day, before he learned the result, “that te answered with his life, that the French artillery hv not passed that way.’ And if this happened in Europe, in the midst of a war that had formed ro many expert commanders, it need not astonish us that like events transpire among ourselvos! Men are not gods! * , * * e * After enlarging upon the particular instances of pa- triotiam displayed by Sunta Anna, from the beginning of his career down to the present time, his apologist con- cludes by the following peroration : Mexicans, be just! Do not suffer yourselves to be de- ceived by perverse and evil-interitioned men! Re- fect that some of those writers, who to-day are #0 eager to lead astray your opinions, to the prejudice of our well-dererving President, have sold thems to him for friends—have flattered him in the season of his prospert and now declare themselves his enemies when fortune is against him. Examine well the facts— compare. judge with attention and impartiality; and it {a etire that your conclusion must be, that gratitude is due to Santa Anna, a8 one of the best servants of the Republic, both before and sinee its independence {Signed Manvet.

Dean Sin:—I take the first moment. of rt oat my arrival ut this place.to answer your kind communica- tion of the 13th San ry, and ‘4 let you know how muéh | was pain Srelng the proceedings of the moat respectable meeting of which you were chairman. It ‘was precisely to forestall and prevent such manifesta- tions in my favor, that | spoke to the pointof the next presidency in my speech at Boonville, in the summer of 1844; and all the sentiments which | then, expressed re- main in full force now, strengthened and’ confirmed by all that has since happened. [then brought forward the ng tact that, in above fifty years existence of this em government, tho democracy of the north had but one President to the Union, and that one but ingle term; opposition to northern men. And I then took it on my- self to say that this course of things would have to changed. otherwise there would be an end of the demo- cratic party, or of any party founded on political prin- ciples, and exprovaed my gratification that Mr. Polk’s early and voluntary selfdenial had cleared the way for northern democratic candidate in 1849, ‘These were my sentiments in 1844; they are my senti- ments now, and are not to be abandoned at the coming election, when [see anew scheme developed from the south for the permanent exclusion of all northern men from southern support for the presidency. The fire brand resolutions introduced into the Senate towards the close of the late session, and their practical applica- tion to Oregon (oy which we lost the Oregon bill, and leave the people of that territory a year longer without law or government) reveal this scheme. and present a new test on the slavery question which uo northern man can ¢tand, and which if adopted by the south must put an end to all further support of northern men from the southern democrac; Heretofore we, the slave holding States. have stood together upon two points—defence and compromise the defence of property and institutions and the compromises of the laws nd of the constitution; and on these two points the great majority of the north, of both political parties, have been able to stand with us. But now a new position is to be taken—bne on which no northern man can stand. Propagandism the doctrine of the political sect which assum standard bearer of all the slave holding State: planta slavery, by law, in all the territories of the United States. even the most hyperborean—even in Oregon it- self, and against the will of its inbubitants—becomes the design and the attempt! The words of t+ resolu- tions, the speeches in their favor, and their practical ap- plication to the Oregon bill, all prove this, and show that the new doctrine is intended to be made a new po- litical test, to be applied to all presidential candidates in time to come, and. like all new tests. intended to super- sede all former ones, and to constitute the sole criterion for the trial of candidates. Now overybody must be seo that if this new test shall be adopted by the slavehold- ing States, there isan end to all political support of uorthern men in these States—that the presont organi- zation of parties must be broken up, and a new party formed, bounded by geographical lines and resting ou the sole principle of slavery propagandism. J am not prepared for such a state ot parties, nor for the effect which it would have upon the ixrmony and stubility of our federal Union. | see great danger in this new move, and feel the necessity of meeting it at once.

Awful Fffect in Kngiand of the Capture of Vera Cruz and San Juan de Uiua. {From the London Times, May 10.} We have seldom bad occasion to record an operation | of war more revolting to every feeling of humanity and | justice than the bombardment and capture of thecity | though scarcely at the rame ratio as wheat. and castle of Vera Crus by the American forces In itself, indeed, the conquest of the strongest fortified po- sition on the Mexican coast is the most important ex- ploit of the campaign, and probably the most considera- ble enterprise ever attempted by the troops ef the Uni- ted States. But when we call to mind the unprincipled aggression in which the war originated, and the pur- poses for which it has been carried on, the more signal these achievements are, the more sinister is the light they cust om the policy of the American government — ‘The lustre of the arms of the United States is tarnished by the infamy of such « contest against an unoffending and impotent any: and the horrors of war, which can only be atoned for by a noble cause and an heroic bra- very, have in this instance boon aggravated by the de- testable policy which sent forth the invading army, and by the miserable weakness of those against whom its prowess was directed. The American despatches relate, with an air ofunconscious simplicity,one of the most atro- cious and barbarous acts committed in modern times by the forces of a civilized nation, The mode adopted by Gen. Scott in conducting the siege was characteristic of the fierce and destructive spirit of a volunteer and un- practised army No ae is made to disguise the fact that the means taken by t of San Juan de Uhia to surrender was the destruction of the city of Vera Cruz. Nearly 7,000 projectiles were thrown into this devoted town during the three days and ahalf that the bombardment lasted. One half of the buildings ure said to be destroyed. In fact, the at- tuck appears to have been exelusively directed on | for General | the city, in preference to the castle, Scott expressly states, that the heavy piecus of ordnance on whieb he felled for the reduction of the Principal forts were not landed when the city was invested; und that he was surprised to find that the capitulation of the town and of the citidel was simultaneous. ‘I'be thing it- xelf is so extraordinary, and so cvntrary toall the usages of modern war, unless under circumstances of peculiar necessity, that we could not have believed it on any low- er authority than that of the officer in command. A for the Castle of St nde Ulua, it is one of those pluces into which « hostile force would find it difficult to make its way, if there were not a garrison to open the gates of it, and a governor to sign a capitulation. It evi- dently surrendered to mere intimidation or corruption, or possibly to the desire of saving the city from total an- nihilation. The application of the foreign Consuls on the 24th of March for a truce to enable themselves and the «ubjects of the Ruropean powers, together with Mex- can women and children, to leave the city, was refused by General Scott. Probably when those gentlemen re- solved to remain at their posta at the commencement of the alege, they did not anticipate that the city was tobe the principal mark of the American batteries; or they might have consulted their own safety by retiring to those strong fortifications of the Castte, aguinst which the enemy’s artillery was not directed, or on which, at lexst, it made no serious impression — The whole operation lasted twenty days from the dis- embarkation of the truops, on the 9th of March, to the evacuation of the city aud castle by the Mexicans on the 29th, ‘The nogotiation or « surrender began on the 26h, During the 16 days of uctive hostilities tere were five days of violowt “northers.” those hurricunes of the const of viexico which effectuaily interrupt all com- n ation by sea, and mast huve placed the squadron in considerable peril.
