AFFAIBS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO, [From the New Orleans Picayune, July 8.] ‘Tho steamship Alabama arrived at an early hour yea- terday, from Vera Cruz, touching at tho Bravos, She loft the former port on the 2d of July, and the latter on The following ps came over on the Alabama from Vera Cruz—Capt. A. R. Hetzell, assistant quar- termaster ; Dr. A. H. Saunders, late bearer of despatch- es from the government to General Scott ; Messrs. E. G. Elliott aad C, Finley, of the army, and Messrs. Fish- er, Tobbler, Forey, Ricl Carpenter, Tenbrick, Har- din, Tai, Moore, MoCall, Mra, Goates, ‘and thirty dis- charged teamsters, “The following passengers are from e an razos :— Capt. Carrington, the Vi eng a nana Onvn Oboriog Glatt red ini iment ; and Caj Sharles C! an Acker, and Lieut. Gouvenaux, of the 2d Mississippi re- iment. BiDy tlie arrival, wo have direct advices from Mexico to the morning of the 29th of June, and from Puebla to the 30th. ‘General Seott had not then been able to leave Puebla. He was awaiting the reinforooments under General Cad- wallader and General Pillow, who had not then arrived. [Some of the papers mention that General Cadwallader arrived at Puebla on the 30th. Letters from Mr. Ken- dal of that date make no mention of it, though he was eonstantly expected: He was at Perote about, the 20th, awaiting General Pillow.) ‘The news from the city of Mexico is very indefinite.— General Scott is said to have communicated to the kov- ernment that Mr. Trist was with him and authorized to negotiate for a peace. Santa Anna had been in vain endeavoring to procure a quorum of Congress to lu; General Soott’s communication beforeit. Mr. Kendall's letters rather encourage the prospect of an early puxce ; but we have had access to letters froma very responsi- ble source in the city of Mexico, which take a very differ- ent view of the subject, The writer thinks Gen, Scott will ave to march into Mexico to. secure a peace. ‘The censorship of the press existing in Mexico pre- vents us from knowing what measures to defend the city will be taken. Santa Anna was to leave the capital on the 30th ult., intending to pass three days in the coun- try for the benefit of his health, It is sald that every avenue of entrance into the city is fortified, but the writer in Mexico, upon whom we very much rely, thinks the American army will easily overcome all such obsta- oles—that the defence of their fortifications will only em- barrass the Mexicans, ‘We are unable to throw much light on the movements of Gen. Cadwallader and Gen. Pillow. ‘The latter is said to have been compelled to contest the road with the guerilla parties, till he was beyond Cerro Gordo. Guer- rilleros took advantage of every defile to resist his pro- gress. His loss is said to have been severe. We have by this arrival a file of the American Star No. 2, published twice a week at Puebla, by Mesars. Peoples, Barnard & Callahan, The file extends from the 19th to the 27th June, and wo glean from its columns several items of intelligence. ‘The government of the city of Puebla has been en- trusted to Lieut. Col. Belton, of the 3d Artillery. Gen. Alvarez was at Atlixco on the 14th of June, with 900 Mexican cavalry. The Star thinks his forces have been greatly overrated, A long, elaborate letter is published in the’ Star, in Spanlah tnd English, addressed to the people of Mexico by an officer of the American army. We have read but portions of it, but {t appears a calm, familiar statement, aimed and well calculated to teach Mexicans how un- founded are their inveterate prejudices against the Uni- ted States, and the futility, on their part, of a further prosecution of the war. We may recur to it. A correspondent of El Monitor Republicano, writing from Puebla, says:— Gen. Scott, with all of his onginoer da number of other officers, proceeded to Cho- other day, and, after ascending the pyramid, agreed at once to fortify the place.” Io thinks it is only throwing salt to the fishes to fortify so out of the way aplace. ‘The truth of the business ia, saysthe Star, that Gen, Soott never went there at all, but that Gens, Quitman, Twiggs, Col. Harney, and a party of officers, hearing of the pyramid and wishing to see the spot ren- dered #0 notorious by the massacre of the Cholulans by Cortez, did go; but the idea of fortifying was farthest from the thought. ‘The Star telis a good story of a party of guerrilleros who stopped some Mexicans who were driving hogs into Puebla. ‘hey first compelled the drivers to pay the usual city taxon their swine for entering the city, and then drove the swine off in another direction. ‘The Star says there is throe months’ provisions in the city for the army, und that the fields around the city supply all the forage necessary. A Mexican pamed Heredia bas been’ detected by his to Puebla, with countrymen on his way from the oapi low made his escape the morning of the 4The [Mexicans are using every inducement to make our men desert, and with some success; hut those who have deserted find little comfort from their new friends ‘The Star’ tells of two dragoons who ran off from us, but had not gone three leagues before some Mexicans came across them, took their horses and stripped them of everything but thelr shirts. ‘ A German and a Mexican have been tried by s court martial for tampering with our soldiers and persuading them to desert. The Mexican was acquittted—the Ger- man found guilty and condemned to be shot. Boing reeommended to mercy, his sentence was remitted. ‘The following narrative is froin the Star of the 24th we On Sunday morning last, the 20th, a party of Ameri- cans, not connected with the army, loft here for a hacien- da on the road to Mexico—say about eighteen miles dis- tant. The object in view by the party, eightin number, was the purchasing of mules for the Government ; and after they had bargained for a number, to be brought in the next day to Puebla, they prepared to leave, but were prevailed on to defer their duparture until after dinner. ‘The repast was served up in good style, and after it was partaken of, the host refusing to receive any pay what- ever, the horses were brought out and the party mount- ed. They were warned not to go too near the village on their left, as some five or six handred soldiers were quar- tered there, and if we mistake not, a Mexican was pre- paring ® horse to accompany them along ® bye path in the mountains, when party of lancers were discovered riding up to the hacienda. “The little party of Ameri- cans started off in a slow gallop, their loader telling them to suve the horses until it would be necessary to run. In this way they proceeded somo distance, the soldiers con- tinuing to decrease the distance betweon them, when it was proposed to go a little faster. A half a minute had not elapsed with the increased gait, before they came upon another party of the enemy, formed across the road. To attempt to pass them would have been foolishness; so they halted, and through thelr interpreter, informed the captain that they were Amerieans, but not connected withthe army. ‘The pur- suing lanoers were now close upon them, and before a Proper answor had been returned, came charging down the hill in such a manner as to leave the boys doubtfal as to thelr intentions; so they prepared themselves for an attack, which was soon commenced by the Mexican foroe, numbering near eighty mon. After a briet en- gagement, during which the Mexicans crowded one upon another so fast that they could scarcely use their arms, Mr. Dickinson, who had bven severely wounded in the thigh with a lance, touched his blooded mare with the spur, and she made an opening in the enemy’s ranks, running down one or two horses, and shoving the others aulde 00 as to effect his escape. | During this operation another of the party whohad been unhorsed and wound: ed, slid off into a ditch, where he concealed himself un- til night, and got into the city next morning. Dickin- bon was ‘chased t by twolaneers to the river, close by, at which place he shot the foremost one, und then making his way to an Indian but, concealed himself until the next morning, when he started for, and entered the city about nine o'clock. All the Americans in this affair wero wounded, and one named John Kinsey is supposed to have been killed. Another named Wallbridgo has written a letter back to Puebla from Atlixeo. had been ordered to Mexi- oo. ‘The rest of the party, not named, are supposed to be prisoners also, although there was a report that all beenshot. The Star docs not erodit this report. The Star of the 24th ult. has the following paragraph about the American prisoners in Mexico. The following paragraph is extracted from a letter dated in Mexico on the 17th instant : “TL observe in the Star you sent me, that it is said that the American prisoners are kept in’ confinement hei which is not the case. They have been at liberty for long time past, and saunter about the streets like other people. No one troubles them—I see Major Gaines and others daily. The decree ordering the other Americans ay was not extended to them, aad as far as | can seo has had very limited effect, tor ! observe the well known ‘American residents knocking about as usual,”’ We were told yesterday by ® peron who had advices from Mexicoas late as the 20th, that the American pri- soners were in confinement in Santiago. It may be that our friend of the 17th ia not astrict observer of affairs, and that the reincarceration of our men was not known tohim. It may even be that Majors Gaines and Borland it Pit A and none others. ‘o give this paragraph ag we find it. Tho inforence from it to our minds if that the prisoners were yet in If this were #0, the re- fort brought here on Tuesday from Tampico is likely to fe unfounded, We regret that we have no means of clearing up the doubt. Tho Star reports that the Prefect of Puebla recently ran off to Atlixco, taking with him all the oity funds. Ho published an address to the people giving an explana- tion of his conduct. ; By this arrival we have the result of Com, Perry's second expedition agaiust Tabasco, This time he was entirely successful. We have a letter from gallant officer enclosing to us a sketch of tho river Tabasco from Devil's Bend, so called, to tho city, showing the landing and inaroh of Com. Terry's force, which con- sisted of eleven hundred seamen and marines and ten fleld pieces. An account of the expedition by @n accomplished surgeon in the mavy, which ac- companied the map, has failed to reach us as yet. But the map almost tells the story. The town Was tiken on 16th of June. The expedition an- chered in a very sharp turn of the river, called the De- vil's Bond, and'was fired into from an ambuscade. A little higher up the landing of Com, Perry is marked, upon the left or north bank of the river. The route from this point which the Commodore pursued is traced on the map up to Fort Iturbide, which is a short dis- tanoe below the city. | The fort was manned by 200 x rs under Gen, E¢bagaray, commandant gen State. Thepoint is markedon the map where Bruno's Civicos fired into the Commodore's steamer from an ambuscade; this is below the Devil’s Turn. The ni point of interest is the breastwork where Lieut. May So far our map tells us the story; the rest requires but few words: the forty which defead the town yielded to the guns of the fluet, before the land ox- edition could get into action. enemy stood but one discharge of artillery. Lieut. May, it is said. had his arm broken, and one other offloer wounded. It is said that none of our men were killed and only a few wounded. A sufficient force was left behind to hold the town, and the Commodore returned to the station off Anton Lizardo on the 29th ult. A rumor was current in Vera Cruz on the morning of the 1st inst., that Gen. Scott had entered the city of Mexico,and that Gen. Pillow had been captured by the erilla parties, We know the former report to be false, and believe the latter to be. Our Vera Crux cor. respondent put no taith in eisher sto: Our letters from Mr. Kendall were dispatched by him, by # special courier, and reached Vera Cruz the evening of the lst inst. We have a few Mexican papers by the same conveyance. ‘We append two letters from our Vera Cruz corres- pondent, for the local news contained in them, though not of the latest date. 2 Vena Cruz, June 28, 1847. Iwish I had something in the shapo of interesting news to communicate, but although I have seen letters one day later than has been forwarded to New Orleans, they contain nothing of interest ‘the expedition which left here on Saturday to try to recover some goods captured from the train under Col. Mgjntosh, which were said to be near Santa Fe, as well 7 other purposes, returned last night without effect- ing anything. So niany reports have been started and published con- cerning the health of the castle, that | beg leave to fur- nish you with the following facts, which 1 have been kindiy permitted to extract from the reports and jour. nals kept there. Since the capitulation of the city and castle of San Juan d’Ulua, the latter has been garrisoned permanently by company G, of the 1st Infantry, under the command of Brevet Major Backus. The Phoenix company of Louisiana volunteers were on duty there for about two weeks, and there were also in the castle a number of American and Mexican prisoners undergoing sentence or awaiting trial, varying from ten to twenty. ‘The deatha at the castle from the commencement to the present time are as follows: — Month of April, Co. G, Ist Infantry. “May, Co. G, Ist Infantry... “May, Phonix “May, Prisoners. * June, Prisoner : Mme Ceadbae vie sais dake c-nvdlesinie Vomed tore There were also two or three prisoners carried to the city hospital for treatment, who aro said to have died with the vomito, but there were but one or two of them who died at the castle which were pronunced vomito. Dr. Weckam was also carried totown and died several days after. "The proportion of sickness was greatest in the month of May, and least the 20th Juno, when it was reduced to oneman. Tho sick report yesterday called for elght, but seven of these were ablo to walk about. The most common disease is diarrhwa, but in so trifing « form that it is eusily stopped. When our troops first took possession of the castle it was one of the filthiest holes | ever saw, but now every thing isus neat asa pin, and does great credit to its gentlemanly and obifging commander. One death from vomito has occurred on board the Potomao, ag I have been informed by an offleer of the ship, but ‘there is but little sickness on board. iwxx 29th-—Lieut. Merryfield, of Capt. Ford's oom- pany of 3d Dragoons, committed suicide this morning, in Capt. Duperu’s tent, by blowing his brains out with « pistol. His appearance indicated a free use of opium, ‘and it is generally supposed that he was laboring under its effets when ho committed the horrid act. Maj. Smith, of the Quartermaster’s Department, re- lieves Capt. Hetzell to-morrow, and Capt. H. will 'pro- ceed to New Orleans by the Alabama, which vessel will probably leave to-morrow evening. We havo no later news from the army or tho city of Mexico. ‘The guerillas have threatened a descent upon Tla- cotalpan, and are sald to be about 300 strong in the neigh- borhooa Althouh there is a sufficient number of troops here to hold the city against an attack, there are not the means to keep in subjection the marauding parties which von- stantly hover about the city, and until we get about 800 Rangers hore to scour the country daily, there will be nosecurity for such Government property as it is in- possible to keep within the walls of the city.» ‘The vomito is rather on the decrease, which, I think, is partially owing to the want of subjects in the city.— The troops that have arrived are encamped three miles distant, and few cases of yellow fever occur there, but those who are brought in with other complaints frequent- ly turn into the yomito, Purnia, Mexico, June 29, 1847, ‘Tho evar-varying, ever-changing kaleldescopo of Mexi- can politics, which but a few days since presented a phaso all ed, sanguinary and, belligerent, by the single turn which the rising and going down of the sun has given, spresents a new and most pacific aspect this morning. Asanothor revolution of the machine may bring another change,and that within the tolling of a few short hours on the city clock, [ shall wait until the last moment before I give you what may be termed the{pros- peets of a peuce. ‘ Withia the last twe days some twelve or fifteen pri- soners, Mexicans, who have been confined for-different periods from one to ten or more years, havo been libe- rated by Gon, Scott. That some of them have been guilty of gross and most heinous crimes there can be no doubt, but that they are any worse than those who incarcerated them is questionable. So long have some of them beon confined, that.even the original charges against them have been lost—one of them says that all ho ever did against tho law was to strike ap officer for insulting his wife. It was a study to watch the faces of the poor devils as they were brought from their dens to be questioned as to their past delinquencies, and a pain to see their eager looks as they once more stepped forth free, and saw the fuce of the blessed sun of which they had been so long deprived. ‘Their families, too, hearing that they were to be liberated, crowded arouud the threshold ot the prison; and the different groupings formed a picture which’ will not soon be forgotten b; those who witnessed it. The hair of one prisoner, al- though his face denoted that he had not even yet reach- ed middie life, was perfectly white, Another prisoner, a Frenchman, was one of the most noble specimens of hu- manity I have ever seen. He had beon incarcerated several years, charged with alding in some robbery on the road, but had never been brought to trial. Our latest papers from the capital are to the 22d inst. ; from Atlixco we have Et Nacional of the 26th. Santa Anna is striking boldly at the liberty of the press, and hence we are unable, through the papers, to come at the true state of affairs at the city of Mexico, Sei Sojo, the printer of the Bulletin of Democracy, (Bol de la Democracia) has beeen sent to Acapulco, wh Senor Eufemio Romero, the principal writer for La Ca- lalvera, has been packed off to San Luis at a moment's warning. Torres, the editor of El Monitor Republicano, has been repeatedly threatened by the authorities with imprisonment, but notwithstanding these threats keeps up a constant fire at Santa Anna and bis ministers, — ‘hy he too, is not sent off, it is hard to way. barra has been appointed Minister of Foreign Rela- tions, aud Vincent Romero, of Justice, Both are sald to be ultra Puros, and with little or no character. It is asserted that no honest man will take office under the Present goverement, and a dishonest one does not appear to retain it more than eight and-forty hours. Bhe latost papers from the capital contain two orders purporting to come from Gon. Taylor, at Montervy, the rst numbered 466, dated the 8th May, and directing the first division of his army to march on the 17th June for Catorce; the second numbered 466, without date, and directing the other division to march on the 22d June for San Luis. Many of our offloers doubt whether these orders aro genuine. Diario det Gobierno of the 21st inst. pretends to have dates from Monterey up to the 6th inst., at which time its said Gen. Taylor was confined, frem an_ injury or wound ho had received in one of his feet. Mis disj ble force was then put down at between 6000 and 0000, and the impression was that he would move upon San Luis shortly. Of o urse you know more of the movements of General Taylor than wo do, ‘The Moxican papers eontinue to brag about the suo- cessos of the guerillas between Vera Cruz and Jalapa, We ahall know with what reason when the train comes states that that up. A letter from Mazatlan, dated Jun neighborhood has been declared under martial law.— The U.S. ship Independence railed from Mazatlan on the Ist inst., destination not mentioned, leaving the Cy- ‘ane only off the bar. ‘The only article | Lave seen in any of the Mexican journals relating particularly to the action of the Con- gress on the question of peace, is the following in El Mo- nitor Republicano of the 22d inst. The editor says :— A communication has heen addressed to our govern- ment from Gen. Scott, at Puebla, in which the arrival there of a commissioner from the United States, fully empowered for the adjustment of a peace, is announced ; but it has been sent to the Con; for that body to de- liberate on so yg Mees! an affair. We think that o suf. ficient number of deputies will uot assemble ; and should thisbethe case, the absentecs will appear in our co- lumns, in order that the public being made acquainted with them, May never return them again.’ This 1s the English of the entire article, but what the editor is driving at in the last clause, it is difficult to make out. It may be that he threatens to expose the absent members, because he wishes them to appear and vote against listening to any propositions of pence, and it may be exactly the reverse. He must be a shrewd ob- server who can tell from what » Mexican editor says one ny what his feelings will be the next wrote you a few days since. giving you a email speci- men of the ravings of one of the San Luis editors on the subject of coming to terms with the vile North American vandals.

We have « thousand and one conflicting rumors in re- lation tothe upward bound train under Gens.

All the talk now is of pence, immediate peace, with the great Mexican nation, and thosewho talked but « short week since of revelling in the halls of the Montezumas, now appear to think they are just about as near the aforesaid halls as they ever will be. I hardly know what to think of the matter. The arrival of the heavy rein- forcements known to be pn thé.way for Gen. Scott, com- bined with the loss of ciitdones ‘the Mexican leaders have in themselves and thuirefllowers, have turned their feelings to a degree, and the most belligerent among them may now really be in fayor of coming to terms, Saute Anna himself, although he will be vei far from starting the ball, will doubtless help to keep in motion when it is once underway, His very tion depends upon it, He knows that he will be defeated and lose «ll if he makes another stand; by making cat's paws of some of the members-of Congress, and getting them to look with an eye ef favor upon propositions for peace, he thinks that he may ibe able to second their movements, if every thing locks favorable, and finally himself reap all the benefits that:may grow out of it — What the propositions are that have been made to the Mexican \ overnment few here know: but what with British inference, and the timidity of the Mexican lead- ers, they have evidently been listened to. ‘Three days since and hardly a man in Gen. Scott's army thought that there was a hope of coming to terms with the enemy; now, the tune has changed, and many of the officers are even talking of the chances 0{ avoldin, and escaping the vomito on their way home. With al the cry of peace, Iam not one of those who think that our affairs with Mexico are yet settled. A great deal depends upon circumstances. Should the upper train, containing, as is supposed, a large sum of money, mect with a reverse, the Mexicans would be emboldened to offer fresh resistance; should Santa Anna find, on count- ing noses, that a majority are against him in any committee appointed by Congress. he will, by found among the first to sooff at any idea of terms with the per- fidious Yankees; should, in fact, anything turn up out of which the Dictator may maké capital for himself, no matter whether for or against tho best. interests of his dearly beloved (?) country, he will embrace it for his own aggrandisement. He wants time, he wants to proorasti- nate, he wants to delay the approach of Gen. Scott upon the capital—in short, he wants to do anything which may ald and further his own ambitious schemes. ‘There is some reason to suppose that Gen. Taylor is advancing upon San Luis, although there is no positivo information to that effect. With the American flag fly- ing at Sen Luis and Zacatecas. the inhabitants of the capital might be more disposed towards talking of poace —this, in case the inhabitants wisn to save tho seat of government from the disgrace of having it occupied by fos estrangeros, But, as | have before said, these peo- plo cannot be judged by any rules which apply to other nations, and therefore the effect of seeing their foes upon every side,and knocking at every gate, caunot be counted upon. Tinight run on for hours with speculations as to the resent condition and future prospect of this war with Mexico; but as it would all ends in speculation, I shall clove with few remarks which may be taken for what they are worth. Santu Anna, tired of fighting the Ame- ricans, is anxious to make peace with them, although fearful of openly avowing it. ‘The peace party in the capital—the capitalista and propotty holders—are also anxious, unwilling te support the war longer, and taxed already beyond what they consider their means, The military are anxious to see the war continued, as the ns by which they can support themselves; the , the ragamufiins of the country, care but little, y or the other, how affairs go, so that they can steal enough to supply themselves with blankets, chin- guirites, and frijoles and tortillas sufflcient to support life. The Indians care for nething, and they are the most numerous class, so that they oan sell their produce for silver, in which they have sufficient confidence to bury, and many of the other inhabitants of the country will follow their example. The Prieste—porhaps 1 should have placed them at the top of the list—are anxious to preservo their position and their richos, although they may look upon us as dogs and heretics; and thus you have @ mere inkling of the feeling of the aifferent pur- ties, Al! these feelings and intereste—after taking into consideration that all hate and despise us—you may mix up, and then make out the chances for a peace. {do not know that any one has reflected much upon this subject, but to me it seems that this thing of mak- ing @ peace is to be a more difficult’ matter than maki war upon the Mexicans, and will be surrounded wit greater perploxities, ‘Texas hus to be brought into question, other boundaries taken jato consideration. lifornia is to be @ bone of contention, indemnifications and costs of war are to be called into account, and » thousand other matters will be found in the catalogue of stumbling blocks in the way of an amicable arrangement of difficulties. The “three millions,” after Santa Anna has helped himself—for he must be thought of first— will not go far, in way of salve of cordial for the many wounds under which poor Mexteo is suffering, and there will be other provisos than Wilmot’s for increasing the “Rough and Ready” in ing up to the rack, T sum Let me conclude this hasty scrawl. The talk, as I said at the outeet, is now of peace; but it will all end in Santa Anne’s advancement or his utter downfall. In all his diplomatic arrangemente, whenever he has been al- Jowed to argue his point, he has been invariably a win- ner. At this game, somehow or other, he always turns everything to his own advantage, or at least always has, s0 far. How he will succecd in his present scheme re- mains to be seen; but he should, and probably will, be closely watched. A few days will bring us out of the doubt and uncertainty in which everything is at pre- sent enveloped, and 1 shall make opportunities to keep you informed of everything that transpires. AFFAIRS IN THE CITY OF MEXICO. We have papers from the city of Mexico to the 22d of June, but not # perfect file. Santa Anna has again been tampering with the freedom of the press. One of his first acts upon resuming the reins of governmont,on the 20th of May, was to abrogate the decroo of Anaya shaokling the press. ‘The pross enjoyed their freedom, thus ob- tained, nearly owe month. On the 18th of June Sr. Vin- conte G. Torres,the:proprietor of El Monitor Repupl no, was summoned to the presence of Gen. Gutierres informed that President Santa Anna had ordered that he should be sent off at once co Acapuico,it he continued the publication of auch articlos ag had hitherto appeared in the Monitor in opposition to the Government. He was expressly forbidden to speak of the generals, to sa any thing disrespeotful of the army, or to discourage the war. Senor Torres replied in avery spirited manner to the governor, and his paper has not ceased ita opposition to Santa Anna and his measures, The editors affect to believe that the verbal threat was merely intended to frighten the proprietor. A like message was communicated tothe Republicano. Thereupon Senor Otero, who has been acting ss editor of that able paper, in the absonee of Senor Camplido, at once withdrew from the paper. He refuses to write under the restrictions imposed upon him. The editor of the Calavera , asatirical paper, was sent off by an order of tne President to San Luis Potosi, and the paper discontinued by the proprietors. The editor of fthe Boletin de ta Democracta, Senor Sojo, has been sent off to Acapulco. His paper was considered the organ of Gomes Farias. While such measures are taken tokeop the press in subjection, our readers will not expect to derive much information from such papers as have reached us Te test how far the laws will protect the citizens against the arbitrary edicts of the Government, Senor Torres had determined to bring tho;uots of Gen. Gutier- rea before the Supreme Court, and demand punishment gee him for his infractions of the constitutional rights of the citizens. This will probably lead to some yet more arbitrary act of the Government, and we shall per- haps hear that Torres has been packed off to some re- mote prison. He is accustomed to these things. The papers contain accounts o: the assaults of the guerilla parties upon the trains from Vera Crus. It was supposed that Con. Alvarez would join Father Jarauta aud continue to harrass the trains. Several communi- cations are published from Governor Soto in which he assures the government that he will take the promptest measures to cut off all communication betweew Vera Cruz and Jalapa. He mye that guerilla parties were ra- play collecting spon the routs, and he contemplated tal possession of . He his letters that the Amorlean sick and wounded at Ja- Jay all to be left there, “ entrusted to the gene- rosity and humanity of the Mexioans."’ We believe, on the contrary, that all our sick and wounded wero rw- moved early to Perote. The impression is that the com- mand of Gon, Cadwallader awaited at Perote the arrival of Gon, Pillow, but in regard to the movements of these generals we are left almost entirely in the dark. An official statement is given in the Mexican papers of the forces under the orders of Gen, Taylor on the 20th of May, with» minute account of the strength of each postion from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Saltillo ‘he volunteers which have lataly returned are included in this enumeration. The Mexicans were aware that they were to be disbanded and their places supplied by fresh troops, The Monitor of the 224 ult, says that our army at Pue- bia had lost fromfj260 to 300 men by sickness, death and desertion. It mentions, too, that fouror five months’ pay was due to our troops, and that in uence of this the 6th Infantry had refused on the 18th ult. to turn out when ordered for drill. This 4s all gammon , of course, The American army is twitted with having boasted that they would pend the 4th of July in the capital, while the truthiis, say the Moxicans, that their rein. forcement, instead of reaching Puebla, have got stuck in the mnd upon the route, An opporition paper says that when the Americans learned that Canalizo had been appointed to the com- mand in the State of Puebla, Gen. Scott was highly de- lighted; and that Worth and old ‘T'wiggs (thus irreverent ly are they named) declared that if these 8000 cavalry were under his command they were safer than in thvir own houses, An official letter is published,dated tho 14th June,from San Juan do los Lianos, announeing that an Ameriewn train had been attacked above Cerro Gordo, and fort: wagons were taken. This probably refers to upon thetrain under Col, Melntosh, which is luded to In Mr. Kendail’s letter allusion is made to & loan call- nnounces in one of ttne| often al- lion‘of dollars upon the Federal district. and Territories not occupied by the enemy. portionment uf the amount among the different States ‘would not interest our readers. The contribution is to be enforced by the authorities of the different States. ko. respectively—no one to be compelled to pay over $2000, or leas than $25. Ten days are aliowed to apportion the contributions among individuals in the most equitable manner. Individuals are allowed just three days to pay their respective quotas; if they make default, they are condemned to pay twice the amount. The entrance of D. Vicente Romero into the ministry, an head of the Department of Justice and Religious Af- fairs, is scoffed at by the Mexican papers, The Monitor R no pronounces it equivalent to another defeat my.

Tho Colonel came by the Southern route, crossing the Green and Grand Rivers, and struck the Spanish set- tiements at Abique, and went from thence to Santa Fe. Col.

Neront Suir Artis, » Friday morning, 8 o'elook. lune 18, 1847, My Dean *****:—On Wednesday last it wi by our colonel and captain of the abip to sen Havana for cigars, fruit, wines, &e., and such otber daintics as any of the officers might send for. We got abreast of the Moro castle at about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and the boat was soon lowered, with a crew of four sailors, and Lieutenants Baker, Rich, and Jones, and Mr. George Twiggs, as passengers. Tho night proco- ding, | sat up lato! and, between sleep and awake, wrote 7ov4,2 Long rhapsody of nonsense, which I sent by Licut Rich, in the boat, vo be forwarded. The boat pulled off for the shore about 6 o'clock, about three miles distant. Our expectations were, we would not be detained more than afew hours. We waited until 12 o'clock, when a large Spanish boat came alongside, with a verbal mer- tage from tho authorities that this ship should go into port. ‘The funetionary in the Spanish boat had also a note from Mr. George Twiggs, and one from Lieut. Jon stating that Lieuts, Baker and Rich had gone to the con sul’s office, and they, (Jones and ‘T'wiggs) were taken up by the authorities for violating the port rules, and were fined $200 each; but, by the intercession ofan American, (Capt, John Gallagher, of the ship Louisa.) the fine was re- mitted. The Spanish boat left without any reply or message from the colonel to the authorities, or to the party ashore. It is now 11 o'clock, and no news or message, or communtcat'on, has been had from or with the shore since the Spanish boat of yesterday. Whether Lieuts Baker and Rich, and the four sailors, aro prison- ers with Jones and Twiggs, of course we know not; but it is strange the consul hus sent us no message. ‘There is no doubt the town authorities wish to force us in, at « cost of ten or twelve hundrod dollars of port charges, Added to a Spanish delay, which is interminable. ‘The captain of the ship saya, under no circumstances will he go in, an he does not wish to get into Spanish hands, and it would destroy his policy of insurance. We have now lost about 30 hours of a splendid 6 or 7 knot breeze in our fayor; and how long we are to be de- layed, I eannot judge. By whut | have stated, youknow as uch of the case as 1 do, aad may guess of the result uecordingly. - A nuinber of Amerioan vossels left the port this morn- ing—perbups for the United States—and will bring the account; therefore, if you choose, you can of yourself write stich a brief account for the public as may put it wi it. jy own impression, at this moment, Is, that those ashore will be kept, and communication with this ship prohibited, until we ure compelled to go in and obtain “pratique” or bill of health, or sail without the absen- tev, ‘The time and fuir wind we are losing is mortify- ing; but I trust we will be in time to do eur country some service, I cannot think how I will send you this; but when I do, I will give you the latest account. Till then, adieu. Half-past 12-—A boat (we believe it to bo our old Spa- nish friend,) is coming out from the Moro; and, as a Frenchman might say, “we sball see what we shall’ ses.”? The eaptain of the ship was very anxious to. sail this morning, but, at the request of Col. Watson, he agreed to remain till to-morrow morning, when, the cologel said, should the shore party not come, we must nail without them. “When this boat comes alongside “we shall see what wo shall see.” ‘The boat has brought off « letter from the consul, saying the ship must go into port. The colonel has ordered the captain to go in, and the captain refuses. How it will end | know not. 1 0’ Clock.—The colonel pressed his order. The cap- tain utterly refused to go in; said the port charges would exceed $1600; and it would be easier for the government to pay the fine of $200 each on the three officers arhore, than to pay detention and port charges of the ship. Tho colonel still insisted; whereupon the captain directed the first mate to muster the crew, when the captain address- ed them as follows :—° Men, you shipped in. New York for a cruise in this ship, from that port to Vera Cruz— | do you all know that?” “ We do,” was the response. “You knew I was to be your captain, and you wore to obey me 2” We did.) “~ Well, now, there seems to be 8 disposition to wrest this ship out of my hands, and from under my command; and | order and warn you to do no manner of work, or receive any orders, on board this ship, except by tiny orders, or by ordera ema- nating from me.” Some of the field officers were dis- posed to take posession of the ship, and get a crew of marines; but such crazy ideas soon boiledover. ‘The ef- fervescence of those who would take possession of the ship soon evaporated; and the captain and crew retain- ed possession. It is now arranged that an officer shall goashore in the morning to the quarantine ground, and from there communicate with our consul, What will be the result, God knows; but I think we surely will not delay longer than to-morrow evening. That will be a loss of three days—with such wind as we have had, suffi- cient to have taken us half way to Vera Cruz. Srrance Crime.—The following story of the abduction and murder of an infant, the only child of Mr. Oliver Hinckley, of Barnstable, is taken from the Bosten Transcript, of yesterday, and is confirmed by the Barnstable Patriot, received last bas The re- lectmen of Osterville have offered a reward for the per- petrator of the outrage: — od for by Sante Anne.

We have of late had opportunities, from frequent ex- cursions through various parts of our own county, and tovome extent in Putnam and Hancock, of observing the prospect of the wheat crop now ready for harvest. Aithough we have seen many fields that promised very poorly, yet we must say that where the soll was good and properly cultivated, nothing could be more cheering than the prospect now presented. In all the flelds the heads are remarkably well filled, and the grains are of unusual plumpness. On the whole, we jeve the pre- sent to be the largest crop we have seen in the county for five years.—Lima (Allen Co.) Reporter.

From all thatwe can learn, the wheat crop in the county is a light one, considerably short of ‘an average crop.— Mt. Vernon (Knox Co.) Temes. From all parte of Maryland we have accounts repre- senting the crops as in « most flourishing condition. An agrioultural friend on Nansemond river, informs us that the wheat, which is all out, is fair to good. T' oat crop bids fair to come in much above Exrew oal- culations. Tho corn is very backward for this period of the season; but looks promising, and it is believed will be a good average. Sweet potatoes are exceedingly backward. Fruits of every description are almrst en- tirely cut uff.—Norfolk Herald, 12th inst. ‘The Savannah Republican says :—“ From the general testimony from various quarters of the State. we have derived the opinion that the provision crops will turn out generally very well. while the cotton crop 1s decidedly more uppromising than usual.’ The Natchez Courier, of the 29th ult., states that in the adjacent counties the corn and cotton generally look well, although in some places a bad stand was made of the former, und the latter has suffered somewhat fog want of rain, On the Louisiana side of tae river, cotton is in a much better growing condition than was aantiol- pated some weeks «ince, Taken generally, (says the Courier.) the prospect for a good erop is fair in this seo- tion; and if the terrible worm or no other unforeseen calamity steps in between this and the Hpenlog of the crop, our farmers may safely calculate upon a fair remu- neration for their labor. In Abbeville District, 8. C., the cotton crop is sald to be more unpromising than was ever before known; and the Charleston Mercury says that the same state of things exists throughout that State, in which the cotton crop must fall far below an average one. ‘The Mercury expresses the opinion that a similar result may be ex pected in Georgia and Lower Alabama, while from Mis- sissippi and Louisiana the accounts are more favorab) —Richmond Daily Whig, July 13 In New England the prospect 4s atill as favorable aa could be hoped for. ‘The weather haa been of the most splendid kind, for the growth of vegetation. and for the making of the hay crop. ‘This has brought corn for- ward, 80 that in many fields, where the soil is of a favor able character, it is now nearly as forward 4s ia the ave. rage of seasons, und quite us forward as in some former years, when great crop# had been raised, The fears which were entertained on account of the baok- wardners of this crop have consequently subsided. Far. mers are very buy now in securing their hay. ‘I'he crop will be large, both of low meadow und upland, and with such weather continuing, it will be cured and housed in the most perfect manner. In this vicinity there has been no interruption to the hay making for the last weeek, but toward Boston, there was # shower on the afternoon of the 7th inst. Whereverthe grass is fit to be cut, the present favorable opportunity for reouring it should improved to the best advan- tage. There is not only a great saving in time, but the hay is much wor valuable than it is, if got inim unfavorable weather, or when it stood too long. Potatoes are growing finely, and we hear of no in- dications of the reappearance of disease amoug thei the present season. Heretofore, they have been con- siderably ted with the curl a# early in the see- son as this time. ‘The epidemic—for such we have uniformly believed the rot, which has effeored them, to be—has probably exhausted itself, and is passin; away. Some cases of its reeurrence may be expect but we feel a strong confidence in the hope that, gen rally, the coming crop will be free from ita destructive effects. English grain looks finely, and promises an abundant crop. It has rarely looked better. Apples and pears, we think, ha len from the trecs more than iy usual. The hot weather has been very favora- bie to the operation of insects, and the sppess to have improved it to the best advantage. Still, ifthe season is favorable, enough are left on the trees, and that remain will grow the larger for being well thinned out.— Karly cherries are now nearly gone. The crop bas been below the average, though some kinds, as the Tartarian and May Duke, have borne well. The later kinds will be les abundant than the early. Plum trees are heavily laden with fruit, but the broiling hot weather rots them badly, and this, with the operations of the cur- oulio, will considerably reduce the quantity under the weight of whieh the trees are now bowing down.
