ARRIVAL OF SANTA ANNA IN cue CITY OF MEXICO. The Warm Reception of His Excellency. Stones and Shouts of Indignation Showered upon his Head. MOVEMENTS OF COLONEL DONIPHON, Naval and Military News. &e., &e., &e. IMPORTANT FROM THE CITY OF MRBXICO. [From the New Orleans Patria, June 2 ] ‘The advices received by the James L. Day, state that Santa Anna was expected to arrive in the capital on the 19th ult, By more recent accounts, via Tampico, we havedatesfrom the city of Mexico up to the 2ist ult., which mention his arrivel on the 19th ; but his recep- tion was very different from that anticipated by his friends. ‘The populace—the loperos principally, forced themselves into the streets to receive him, and with shouts of indignation, he was followed and pelted with stones, which came so thick around him, that he had barely time to effect his escape among his friends, and into the palace. The people,exasperated by the continued loss that the Mexican army has suffered, and seeing that all the promises, of “the General-in-chief were. vain, wished to be revenged on him, and perhaps would have dragged him ignominiously through the streets of the city of Mexico, but for the interference of the authori- tiek with an armed force, Gen, Valencia had taken command of the army, and was preparing to march out of the capital to mevt the Americans. Letters from persons of the highest authority, and who have no motives in giving any thing but the true state of affuirs, state that if Santa Anna falls from power, he willnot leave a stone unturned to cause another revolution. ‘The state of affairs in the capital had assumed a charac- ter not altogether unfavorable to the advance and oc- cupation of the city by the American army ‘The inter- nal broils caused by the reception of Santa Anna, will require all the available force how under Gen. Valencia, to preserve order. [eyes the Mobile Herald, Jun: bs ‘We received yesterday a copy of Et Republicano from the city of Mexico. with a request for an exchange. It is dated the 16th of May. In this number of Zl Republicano we find an impor tant docum.nt which a friend translates for us as fol- lows. None of the New Orleans papers contain any allu- sion to it:— Official Letter of his Excellency the General-in- Chief (Santa Anna) accompanying some intercepted ducu- ments of the enemy: — Heap Quanrers, Purpia, May 13, 1847 Aany or Orenat Excellent Sir—The comm: ant of the flying revenue guard of tobacco of Orizaba, the Cotonel D. Juan N. Caraveo, whom I left with his command near the National road, between Perote and Nopalucan, to observe the movements of the enemy and to barrass him when the opportunity might offer, has re- mitted to me the accompanying documents which were taken frem the enemy’s mail, which left Jalapa for Col. Worth’s camp. Among them you will find General Scott's procla- mation to the Mexican nation, which from its style ap- pears to have been written originally in Spanish, and not translated from the English This proclamation of Scott's is written with the most refined hypocrisy aud with the most infamous perfidy It is the greatest insult yet offered to the Mexican peo- ple, whom it has attempted to iull (a quien se pretende adormecer) tomake it the victim of the ambi'ion of that nation which isthe enemy of our race, when, in another place, it feels no embarrassment in proclaiming by the press and in official documenta, that it carries ou against us a war of conquest, and that this war must be made at the cost of the blood and treasure of this unfortunate country. Your Excellency will note in one of the accompanying intercepted letters, that Scott, the Inspector General of the United States Army. considers the above proclama- tion well adapted to aid the views of the invaders. You will observe that this letter harmonizes with others which have been lately published in this capital, and which with reason have been regarded by all well disposed Mexicans as more prejudicial for the venom (ponzona) which they conceal than the loss of « battle. But in’ the midst of the malevolence (encona) which General Scott shows he has against me, he does me too anuch honor when he says, that they had been deceived as to my real intentions, and that on account of this mis- take his government permitted me to to my coun- try. Indeed, most Excellent Sir, the United States did deceive when they dreamed that I was capable of betray- ing my country. Before this should happen | would pre- fer to be consumed by fire, and my ashes should be scat- tered, that not a single atom be left. Would to God the Mexicans would open their eyes to discover the poison in the golden chalice that the per- fidious Scott proffers to them, and that the reply to his proclamation may be one shout of universal indignation | against the invaders of our soil. Let a war be made against these without period, that when we may no longer be able, because Pravidence may have decreed the subjugation of this unfortunate country, there may re- main to our children or grand-children, when the wrath of the Omnipotent shall have passed, the noble work of | revengin ’ the outrages committed by the republic of the United States on Mexico, God and Liberty! ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA, ‘To his Excellency the Minister of War and Marine. ADDITIONAL FROM MEXICO. [From the New Orleans Picayune,June 2 ] We mentioned yesterday the activity of our squadron upon the Pacific coast of Mexico. We now insert a letter which we find ina paper of the 13th inst. It is dated— San Bras, April 30, 1847. At 7 o'clock this morning there arrived at this port, in two days from Mazatlan, u boat despatched by a commercial house. with the single object of advising the offloers of two small vessels, which were about to sail from Mazatlan with provirions, that they should not go tosen, but at once place their vessels in safety by secret- ing them or running them into some unfrequented orvek, The occasion for the despatch of these instructions the parties interested in, that on the 26th inst., two of the enemy's vessels of war presented themselves off Mazatlan, establishing anew the blockade, which has been interrupted by the departure of the cruisers. From the vesseld which had arrived information was obtained that by the 29th eight other vessels would reach there with sufficient force to oceupy the town by force of arms. and then the town of San Bias. A like lamentable fate was preparing for Acapuleo, whither a large naval force had already sailed from California. I communicate this information with the view that it may be laid before his Excellency, &c., Gen, Bustamente, that he may take such measures as he may deem fitting for the critical circumstances in which ot ‘country is placed. IN ; Comandancia de Caladores de San Blas. To the Administrator of the Customs at Tepic. Gen, Alvarez, who appears now aa one of the oom- Petitors for the presidency, was accused not many months ago, under the Adininistration of Paredes, of the groasest corruption, Among other charges was one that he imisappropriated funds destined for the California expedition, and that he sold the armaments of some of the Mexican works on the Pacific and applied the pro- ceeds to his own ure. Now he isoue of the pillars upon which the hopes of his countrymen rest. He haslately placed Acapulco, which my be considered his lair, in « state of defence and gone up to Mexico to assist in the general defence it is said, by three or four thousand men ing he published an address to the inhabitants of his section of the country. . plaining to them the objects of tne war on the part of the Americane, It is particularly fullof misrepresenta- tions, but fs nevertheless well w: ften and spirited. 7 concludes by telling them to sharpen their kniver that the war will soon be over. Another candidate for the presidenoy we perceive is Melchor Ocampo. He is now, we believe, Governor of the State of Michoacan. He is a friend of the President Substitute, Anaya, and a strenuous advocate of the war. We tind a long letter in the papers, advocating his views He calla upon the people to join the guerillas to aban- don the large cities and carry their property off to the mountains. Should Mexico consent tomake peace with the enemy he will fight, he says, against the inhabitants of that State as well as the foreign foe. Such ia his version to peace that were the country to consent to it; ‘even were hisown Mic’ o.can to do it—he deel res he will rather expatriate himself than yield to it and live in 8 dishonored country. ‘The proclamation of Gen. Scott to the Mexican na- tion was produced in the Mexiean congress on the 14th of May. Frem tbe statement of the minister, it would seem to have been found atnong some intercepted papers, ‘The Republicano treats the document with little cere- mony. and without attempting to reply to its rensonings, denounces it as impertinent and disrespectful. The Government has conceived the suspicion that the docu. ment was concocted by some Mexican acting in conjunc- tion with Scott, and “the fury of the nation and the se- verity of the laws” aro held up in terrorem against all who thus connive with the enemy In remarking upon the civil dissensions in Durango, the Reyuplicano takes occasion to read a wholesome les- ron to {ts countrymen upon the license of her military commanders, In time the people will learn the true value of this numerous and most profitable class. Hear the Republicano rate them:— “Who has told these seditious and insubordinate sol- diers that they are the judges of the conduct of a public function. ry superior in rank to all of them? Who has give authority to declare the country in dan- | | | 19th and 23d jer, in order that they may impose lews on the civil au- frorities * In our opi ion they deserve the name of trai- tors only, who in the presence of the invader do nothing but excite seditions, . The conduct of these milit wen involves a crime of the gravest nature against public order and our institu- tions, and it is necessary that it should not escape with impunity, so that the people may see that the States have not recovered their naraneignty to be the sport of these commanding eruls. ‘The nation has been long enough the victim of these mili commo- tions, which, after having exhausted us, have ieft us de- fencelesa in the estranger. It is time at least that the scandal should cease.” In another number the same pap r 2dvises the gov- ernment that the vast number of officers who are Dow idle at the capital, drawing their pay but rendering no equivalent, should be organized into companies, without regard to rank. and made to serve the country. ‘he contributions of the clergy of the country by no means correspond to the demands and expectations of the government or the liberal editors. Some bishoprics are highly commended for their liberality, while others are ay strongly condemned as niggardly jn thelr appro- riations. Many, too, of the clergy made no ackuow- jedgment of or reply to the circular of the government calling upon them for aid. ‘They are threatened with official and popular displeasure. ‘The law suppressing the liberty of the press has been found futile. ‘Tho press appears to us as bold as ever, and instead of supporting Ansys, it now opposes him. It has even compelled, by its influence, the recent change of Ministers. In the Iris) » Spanish paper published in Mextco, it way announced on the 7th ult. that @ convention had be y the government with the Spanish Minister, by it was agreed that the flag of her Catholic Majesty should protect not only naturalized Spaniards in Mexico, but the sons of those who were born in the republic’ The Republicano takes the alarm at this, and demands an explanation from the official or- gan. Subsequently wo do not find the subject men- tioned. The Republicano takes fire at every indication of European influence in the affairs of the country. We have before us the letter of Senor de 1a Rosa ac- cepting a place in the Ministry. ‘The only notable pas- sage in it is as follows: “I am honored in taking part in the labors of a Cabinet which 1 ure will devote all its energies to save the indepen: d nationality of the country, sustaining the war at every cost, until a peace, honorable and useful for Mexieco,may be possible.” NEWS FROM THE BRASOS. (From the New Orleans Picayune, June 2.) The Sovereign, from Brasos Santiago, sailed on the 28th ult. Although not later than the James L. Da she brings copies of the Matamoras Flag of the 22d an 26th ult., which we had not before seen. Lieut. Mehaffy, of the lith infantry, and Dr. Chaloner, of the army, came passengers, ‘The news we gave yesterday of the arrival of Colonel Doniphan at Parras is confirmed by the Flag, which byt the intelligence was communicated to Gen. Cushing by a letter from Monterey. Col. Doniphan was shortly ex- pected down the river with his command. Mr. Parish, bearer of despatches to Gen. Taylor, from ‘Washington, passed through Matamoras on the 25th ult. to his destination. Brig. Gen. Cadwallader had ordered an election in the Massachusetts regiment, to supply the vacaucy in the celoneley made by the promotion of Gen. Cushing. It was to have taken place on the 27th ult., but we have not heard the result. Three men of this regiment recontly deserted and at- tempted to reach the Brasos. They crossed the river above Matamoras. and had not gone far before a peat of Car ches came across them aud murdered them The Flag says that a few days prior to this. as the Ke tucky cavalry were on the march from Cumargo to Rey- nose, they arrested another deserter from the same regi- ment. On being interrogated he replied that he was go- ing to Monterey, to take a boat to go back to Massacha- setts. Whether his insanity was real, or only feigned, the Flag had not been informed. The body ofa white man has been recently discovered about seven miles below Reynosa, shot through the breast. No clue has been discovered to the elroumstan: ofthe murder or the name of the victim. The news from Monterey is no later than we hat already givon. Tho Ist Ohio regiment was to lea here on the 19th, and the Ist Indiana regiment «n the 20th ult, on their way home. The last train coming down met 1,500 pack mulesnear Cerralvo, going up with supplies. Major Case, with @ detachment of 3d Dragoons, ar- rived in Matamoras on the 24th ult. We have before given the destination of this regiment, commanded by Col. E. G. W. Butler. ‘The Government has been erecting a large hospital at Point Iwabel, 186 feet by 68, encircled by a 12 feet gallery. It is situated on the most elevated spot in town, and. ac- cording to the Flag, which gives a glowing uocount of it, will compare favorably with similar structures in the United Stat ‘opious shower of rain on the 26th at Ma- tamoras, which is mentioned by the Flag as if It were an occurrence deserving a thanksgiving.

The steamer Telegraph arrived at the Brasos on the ‘2th ult , and left again immediately for Vera Cruz, The Indian incursions among the settlements on the Rio Grande and tho frontiers of Texas are attracting attention. It was supposed that Colonel Hays would de- ate ae time to them, if Gen. Taylor could spare im. which has been at js wbout to return ‘The traders of Matamoras are indignant at the new tariff promulgatea for Mexican ports. ‘The Flag advices them to call public meetings to denounce it. We do not precisely understand the position of the battalion of Texans which had crossed the Rio Grande Our own correspondent wrote us that Gen. Taylor was compelled to decline their services, not being authorized to receive them. The Flag gives a different account of the matter, and says the General will keep them in active service. Ww copy the following items from the Flag of the 22d ult. An accident ofa very distrossing nature occurred at Camargo on the 9th inist. A very interesting and high- ly promising youth, Ventura Kidder, aged eleven years, son of bee Senforth Kidder, jr., of this city, was in- stantly killed by the accidentai discharge of a gunin the hands of a Mexican servant attached to the family. Capt. Kidder. acting as aid or interpreter to Col. Belknap, wax | Sbsent from his family at the time,and learned the death of his son a few days ago whilst in’ this city. ‘The grief of the father can better be imagined than described A letter was shown us yesterday, dated 6th inet, at San Luis, written by a wounded Mexican officer, (former- ly a citizen of this place) to a friend in this city, which gives a truly distressing account of the destitution pre- vailing there among the sick and wounded in the bospi- tal ‘The hospitals are crowded. and the soldiers are ac- tually dying by scores, of starvation and neglect. country adjacent to San Luis was completely stripped of all it« produce to feed the army of 30,000 Santa Anna kept up there for many months prior to the battle of Buena Vista, and now even the citizens of the place are suffering for want of the common necessaries of life. The Mexican government makes no provision whatever for the wounded soldiery, and they are +o be seen dragging their mangled limbs wong the atreets, and begging—alas! too often in vain—for bread, The troops have all left— leaving not so inuch as a regiment to garrison the city. [From the Matamoras Flag, May 22, A gentleman recently from Monterey, informs us that the three companies of mounted Texans, which we re- ported as being ordered back from Camargo by Col Belknap, to their stations on the eastern frontier of ‘Texan, refused to obey the order, and proceeded on to Gen, Taylor's headquarters, where they were received into service, and assigned to duty conjointlewith Major Chevallie’s command. The Texas mounted force now in the fleld, is upwards of 600, and we understand that it ia the intention of Gen. Taylor thatthey shall not ro. main inactive, A detachment has already been, or soon will be, ordered on ranging service, as far down as Victoria and San Fernando, They may be looked for in our vieinity ere long, and woe be to Carabajal, if he dides their coming. We find it an oxceedingly difealt task to report the stage ot the water in the Rio Grande. We mentioned in r last puper that the river wasso low that igation ad been suspended above Reynose, No sooner had we made public this fuct, than aten foot rise came down upon us in one night; and whilst we were picking up the type to announce navigation again free to Camargo, down comes a boat reporting the water to have fallen as as rapidly as itrose, leaving alt the boats which had ventured up on the rise sticking fast on sand-bars — Liko every thing Mexican, the Rio Grande is treacher- ous; and henceforth we shall not be deceived by its pro- miner, into making statements as to its condition for steambouting An equestrian corps—proprietors and performers Mexicans—bave located in our city. and will commence operations on Sabbath afternoon, on the market square. ot the least attraction of the proposed performance, will be the maiden of Puebla. a lady of surpassing love- lines, who will entrance the audience in more ways than one OPERATIONS OF THE GULF SQUADRON, U. 8.

THE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA—GENERAL LANE'S SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT: From the New Orleans Picayune, June a) ‘The following report by Brig. Gen, Lane is supplement- ary to his first official report of the operations of his bri- gade in the battle of Buens Vista, He has thought it call ed for by the developments ofa court of inquiry held since his first report was made, and by the various statements made in the pees injurious to the character of Indiana. As an act of justice to the Indiana troops, and as » p of the record of the great deeds of the 23d February, we comply with the request made upon us, and cheerfully give the report an insertion in our column: Buena Vista, May, 1847. From the comments of the press, the numerous letters that have been written and published, the many false and ridiculous statements uttered by diferent persons at sundry places, concerning the battle at this pluce on the 22d and 23d of February last, and more partioularly roneous statements invented os tothe Indiana Brigade in connection with that memorable day, | feel myself con- strained. in discharge of an imperious duty, to give to the public @ succinct account of fucts which may ens- ble every candid reader to arrive at oorm¥t conclusions, and that the public mind muy be disabused of a studied and systematic attempt at misrepresentation and detrac- tion. ‘The disposition of the troopa seems to have been con- fided to General Wool, and they were posted in the fol- lowing order, viz :—The 2d Regiment of indiana vol- unteers, commanded by Colonel Bowles, with three pieces of artillery under Captain O'Brien, were posted on the extreme left. The 3d regiment of Indiana vol- unteers, commanded by Colonel Lane, occupied a height in the rear of Washington's battery. The Lat Illi- nois regiment. commanded by Colonel Hardin, were stationed on a high hill near and a short distance to the left andfront of the same battery. The 2d Kentucky Volunteers, under Col. McKee, was on the 22d posted on the right ofa deep ravine at a distance of a half mile, on the right of the battery, but on the morning of the 23d were ordered to recross the ravine, and took place near Col. Hardin and to his left. The 2d Regiment ll. linois Volunteers, under Col. Bissell, were posted further to the left, and in the rear and tothe right, ata dis- tance of about half a mile from where the 2d Indiana Regiment was placed ; which regiment, before re- marked, occupied the extreme left of the field, near the base of tho mountain. The four rifle companies of my command, under Maj. Gorman, were at early dawn of day ordered to move up the side of the mountain to en- gage the enemy, some three thousand strong, who were, endeavoring to cross the points of the mountain and to turn our left Theso riflemen were directed to check their advanee if possible. Three rifle companies of the 2d Illinois Regiment, three companies of Col. Mar- shall’s mounted regiment, were dismounted and sent up the mountain to the assistance of Major Gorman, whe had now for some time been hotly engaged with the ene- my. The contest on tho inountain brow raged with fu for the space of about three hours, when | was informe: by Col. Churchill that the enemy, in great force, were advancing under cover of a deep ravine about four hun- dred yardsin my front and tothe right. | immediatel put my small command in motion to mest toem. it should be borne inmind that my whole force was the eight battalion companies of the 2d Indiana Regiment and Capt. O’Brien’s battery of three guns—in all about four hundred men. On arriving at @ narrow ridge be- tween two deep and rugged raviues, | found the Mexican infantry, from four to six thousand strong, supported by a body of lancers. ‘The infuntry were coming up out of the ravine on my left and forming in beautiful order across the ridge, leaving the lancers in the ravine. | isamediately directed Capt. O’Brien to balt his batter: and get ready for the fray. The column was halted, when the first company was up withand on the left of the battery. and formed forward into line of but- tle, I rode im front of the column, and continued in front as the companies were forming into line, and was much delighted to seo the officers and men move forward in good order; coolness and courage were depicted in every countenance. By the time half the companies were in line, and while I was yet in front, the Mexicans opened their fre from their entire line. In a moment the left companies were in line. | parsed to the Tear, and the tire was returned with promptness and good effect. Thus commenced the battle on the plain of Buena Vista. ‘The distance between the enemy’s line and iy own was about one hundred and twenty yards. About the time the action commenced, the enemy opened a tremendous fire from their battery of three heavy guna, posted to my left, and a little to the rear, which nearly enfiladed my line. In this manner the bat- tle continued to rage for nearly twenty-five minutes, the firing being very severe on woth sides, the lines of the Mexican infantry presenting one continued sheet of @ame. | observed tho Mexican line to break and fall | back several times, but their sucee tor across the ridge cnabled them at once to force the men back to their position, and kewp them steady. | then formed the determination to take position nearer the enemy, with the hope of routing and driving them from that part of the field, aud for the purpose of placing the lines out of the range of the enemy's guns, which had succeeded in getting the range so as to be doing some execution nearly every fire. For that purpose | sunt my aid to direct Capt. O'Brien to advance his battery some fifty or sixty yards to the front, and to return to’ me to assist in passing an order to the line to advance to the same point. Ie went with the battery to its advanced position. | was at that moment near tie left of my line. Before my aid returned to me I was much surprised to see my line begin to give way on the right, andicontinu- ing to give way to the extreme left, not knowing at that time that Col. Bowles had given an order to retreat; and ran several days after thy battle (and not until after [ had made my official report) before | was satisfied that the eC on had retreated in obedience to an order iven by Col. Bowles. The order was not obeyed until it hud been thrice repeated, as has since been proven in a court of inquiry, appointed to inquire into the conduct of the coloncl. Lt. Col. Haddon and twelve other guod wit- nesses have testified to his having twice or thrice given the order before the line broke. 0 unwilling were they to abandon their position, The -2d regiment occupied an important position—it was the key to that part of the field—und were unsupported by any other troops. An evidence of their being in a very hot place is that about ninety of them were killed and wounded before they re- treated, They had stood firmly doing their duty, ax well as ever did veteran troops, until they had discharged over twenty rounds of cartridges at the enemy, killing and wounding some three hundred of them; and’! have no hesitation in saying that it it had not been for that unnecessary, unauthorised and cowardly order to re- treat, they would not have lefe their position. | hesitate not to expreas my belief, that if my order to advance had been carried out and have takea the advanced po- sition as futended, that we would have driven the enemy from theridge. Although the men retired in some co fusion, the most of them soon rallied—say to the nu ber of two hundred and Gfty—and they continued to fight like veterans throughout the day. Lieut. Robin. son, (my aid de-camp) and Lieut. Col, Haddon, were very active in rallying the men. Major Cravens was or. dered to proosed to the ranche and bring back such of our men as had gone in that direction, which was promptly done. Capts Davis. Kimball, MoRae, Briggs. Lieut. Spicely, (then in command of his company in con- sequence of the fall of the gallant and lamented Kinder.) Adj. Shanks and Lieuts. Hoggat. Burwell, Lewis Forster, Bennefiel, Kunkle, Londermilk, Roach, Rice and Zenor, with the most ef the company officers. were also very ac- tive in rallying their men. Capt. Sanderson and Lts Davis Hogan and Cayce.and several other officers, were wounded and had to leave the field; as also Capt. Dennis, who had tought like a hero with gun in hand, found himself una- ble from fatigue and indisposition to remain longer on the field. Paymaster Major Dix, having arrived on the fleld at this moment, was very active in assisting to rally our broken and seattered forces. He seized the colors from their bearer, who was unable to carry them longer, and handed them to Lieut, Kunkle, who carried them triumphantly throught the day. ‘These colors, now in the possession of Capt Sanderson, are well riddled with balls—one 24-pound shot, one 6-pound shot, and many musket balls passed through them while they were in the hands of this victorious young officer, and they could at all times be seen high above the beads of the Indiana brigade, moving to and tro where it was neces- sary to meet and repulse the enemy. Lieut. Peck, (now captain) of the rifle battalion, who had been compelled to retire from the mountain to the plain, after the fall of his gallant old Capt. Walker, succeeded in rallying about twenty men, and Joining the 2d !ndiana regiment, continued to fight gallantly throughout the day, The severe luss in killed and wounded which the 2d Indisna regiment sustained in the action. will convey some idea of the danger they faced and the tenacity with which they struggled: 107 of their number were killed and wounded. At or about the time of the retreat of my «mall com- mand under that ill-fated order, the riflemen were com- fons cavalry, which had posted some distance in my rear, and out of range of the enemy's buttery, to act as circumsthnoes might require, either to ad- vance upon the enemy and cut them off in case they should retreat, or to succor my amall force if they should be compelled to fall back, instead of affording me the least assistance, left their position without re- ceiving one fire from the enemy, und made a precipitate retreat to the rear. along the foot of the mountain. pur- sued by alarge hody of Inncers, who succeeded in cutting off and slaughterln; umber of our forces, most of them riflemen. jad made a bold stand and allowed the riflemen and the 2d Indiana regiment to rally on them, altogether they would have been sufficient to check the enemy before he had gain ny considera- ble advantage = After these successive and alton, simal- taneous retreats of the differeut forows on the left, it re- mained wholly undefended, and the enemy, numbering several thousand, came pouring down from the moun- tains and from the front, and formed in good order along the foot of the mountain and in the rear of the position at first occupied by our forees, Soon after the retroat of the 2d. and while I was rallyin, 4 regiment arrived on the field. an ner engaged the enemy, but superior numbers to full back. Atthis time the 3d lodiana regiment, under Col. Lane, | was ordered into the fight, and, joined with the ad | Indiana and Mississippi regiments, composed a force about one-fifth as large as the enemy, but sufficient to engage them with success. Captain Sherman, with | one gun of his battery, at this time joined us. The whole moved towards the foot of the monntain and engaged the enemy. Here the artillery proved very effective, ‘hia portion of the enemy's force be- came at length #0 closely pressed, and our artillery continuing to waste them away with its destructive fire, and they being separated from the enemy's main in « most gallant mi were compelled by vastly force. would have in a short time been com to sur- render, when a white flag was seen on field, and ‘We were ordered to cease firing. We did #0; but the Mexicans continued to fire from their battery, thus co- vering the retreat of their forces. This flag was sent to the left wing from General Taylor, in consequence of Santa Anns having sent him a flag, which the General ‘conveyed propositions either of truce ce the white on our part of tl ag proved to be nothing more th stratagem of the Mexican General to extricate that portion of his troops which he saw was absolutely in our power. During the delay occasioned by this inter- change of flags, this portion of his army. so completely in our power, moved off, and made good their retreat to where the enemy’s main force was posted. We now moved and took a position to meet a large body of laucers, supported by about 2000 infantry.— The rpmorg and a portion of the 2d Indiana regl- ments were formed across a narrow ridge, between two deep ravines, supported by one gun from Capt. Sher- man’s battery, and the other part of the 2d and all of the 3d Indiana regiments were on the brow of one of the ravines, and parallel to the same, the line being nearly in the shape of an L, and faved by the rear venk The charge was made on the left flank of the 3d Indiana— now right. as they were faced. Thia charge, it is due tothe enemy tosay, was made most gallantly, and was as gallantly received by our forces. delivering our tire when they were within a short distan It proved most destructive to the enemy, felling many a horse and his rider, breaking their columns and putting them to fight, leaving many of their companions dead on the eld. Soon after this successful repulse, the field on the left was completely cleared of the enemy’s forces; and bear- ing a sharp and continued firing on our right.and to the left of Washington’s battery, I put my command in mo- tion at double-quick time, for the purpose of tuking part in the contlict. This fire proved to be a se- vere action between the entire Mexican infantry, and the Ist and 2d Illinois and 2d Kentucky volunteers, which was Santa Anna’s last and great effort. These forces had been repulsed by overwhelming numbers, and were retreating in confusion, hotly pursued by thousauds of Mexicans, who were loading and firing on our men at every jump, when my command, consisting of the 2d and 3d Indiana and Mississippi Regiments, ar- rived within musket shot, which we did by coming up suddenly out of a deep ravine, and opened a destructive fire upon them. Finding themselves thus suddenly at- tacked, and from an unexpected quarter, they quit the pursuit, formed promptly into line, and returned our fire with considerable effect ; but they in turn were com- pelled to retreat under our well directed fire to the posi- tion which they had occupied in the morning. This was the last firing between the infantry of the opposing forces of that memorable day, although the cannon con- tinued to play at intervals until dark. The battle on the plain was opened, as bas been shown, by the 2d In- diana Regiment, and the last musketry fired was by the Qd and dd Indiana and the Mississippi Regiments. It should also be stated that our forces had been under arms since the morning of the 22d. and remained upon the field of battle until the morning of the 24th. T have here given a brief and faithful account of the operations of the Indiana brigade on the 23d of Feb., as came under wy observation. and there was not one minute, from the time the battle commenced until the last gun was fired, that [ was not with them. Captain O'Brien, who commanded tho battery of light artillery, posted on my right at the commencement of the battle. ‘as well as Capt. Sherman, who acted with us part of the day, are deserving particular praise for their gallantry and good conduct—moving and discharging their piecer with all the coolness and precision of a day of ordinary parade. The intrepid and honorable conduct of the 2d Kentucky and Ist and 2d Illinois volunteers, could not have been exceeded, and no commendation of mine could add lustre to the glory that should and would be theirs, ‘here is enongh of honor and glory for each man who did his duty at Buena Vista, and he must be an uncharitable and selfish American citizen who would knowingly wish to detract from any portion of that glo- rious little army, with a desire to augment that of any other corps ut the expense of another. ‘The many gai- lant officers and men who did their duty on that day, should not suffer by iavidious comparison: Ir | have neglected to particularize the conduct of the Arkapsas and Kentucky cavalry, or to deflue their posi- tion on the field, it is not because | deemed them ot little moment or importance, but forthe reason, that from tue time of their retreat 1 had no opportunity of seeing any thing of their movements, Tney participated in the ranche fight, when the gallant Yell nobly fell at the head of biscolumn. He, with the noble sous who fell on that day, should never he forgotten. ‘I'he ambition of dis- tinction should never prompt us to deface any portion of the tablet of Fame which our country will erect to the honor of the actors in that battle, and the regular and volunteer army should be proud of it, as one of the greatest epochs in our couatry’s history. It is due to the commanders of the different batteries of light artillery to suy that their efforts were most pow- erful and efficient towards gaining the almost unpurral- leled victory of Bueus Vista, Ready at wil Limes to meet the enemy at fearful odds, their guns wasted them away with their fire ina handseme manner, compelling them toretreat whenever coming within their range Gens, Taylor and Wool werg present as commanders — the former as commander-in-chief. They were exposed to dangers almost every instant of the day, watching the movements of the enemy, and ordering ‘and disposing our forces to meet and repel them. By their cooiness and courage in gaining this victory they have won | rels and a fame that shall endure as long as traces of American history shall exist.

The last advices and reports hold out the expectation, that Herrera will be elected President, in the place ot Santa Anna. Such anevent, we should look upon as a very favorable sign for peace. We have no belief nor expectation of a treaty whilst Santa Anna remains in power. He dares not make Peace, atleast onsuch terms as our government will expect and ask for. His military misfortunes, and his supposed understanding with Mr. Polk, whether true or false, render him unable to negotiate. Every thing he might ray or do, towards such a result, would be regard- ed with suspicion, if not with actual denunciation, Mr. Polk's official announcements, respecting him, have ad suspicion far and wide among his countrymen, he impression, now, cannot be done away with. jection of Herrera would not only indicate a de- sire of peace, but the mere choice of him, under present circumstances, would strengthen his hands towards making it. ‘The selection would induce many influential parties openly to avow pacific views, but who now dare not do fo, and ifthe peace party once obtain sufficient confidence and power to publicly declare and promnl- gate their views,converts will flock rapidly around them, Mr, Trist will also be on the spot, with the views and intentions of our Government, and he, or Gen, Scott, will, no doubt, have been fully authorized to act, should occasion offer. We peiceive by El Republicano,that the citizens were abandoning the capital, and many of them had removed to Tolaca, « large town to the westward of the city of Mexico ‘The citizens of Tolaca, El Republicano says, had de- taanded extravagant prices for their houses, under the expectation of a large viigration from the city. but the government had issued a decree, forbidding any such extortion. The Senor Herrera, who has reeeived the vote of Que- retaro for the Presidency of Mexico, is the ex-President. He was mentioned without his tith eneral or ex- President, and as the name of Herreaa is a common one in Mexico, we fell into the mixta We are glad he has secured the vote of one State, and should he be elected, we should regard it as a good omen for the pros- perity of his country.
