Order Gountermanded. SANTA ANNA’S PREPARATIONS. COLUMN OF HONOR. LETTER FROM GEN, TAYLOR. The " Republicano” upon Mexican Victories, dic. dic. dice LATER FROM VERA CRUZ. (From the New Orleans Picayune, June 16, The steamboat Galveston, Capt. Haviland, arrived esterday from Vera Cruz, touching at Tampico andthe Brazos, She left Vera Cruz at 2o'clock on tho aftor- noon of the Sth inst., Tamploo on the afternoon of the 10th, and Brazos Santiago on the evening of the 11th. She arrived at the 8. W. Pass on the night of the 13th, having made a very fine run. ‘The Galveston brought no later news direct from the army of Gen, Scott, for there had beem no further ar- rival of couriers at Vera Cruz. We learn nothing moro of the march of Gen. Pillow, aud remain still in the dark as to his position, The’ Palmetto left Vera Cruz shortly after the Galvoston, and arrived at Tampico oa the 10th, She may shortly be expooted, and possibly may bring later news. From Tampico we have some verbal intelligence not without interest, The American prisoners had not ar- rived there, but were at a place about forty leagues dis- tant, probably Huejutla. On the 8th inst, Col. DeRus. sy, of the Louisiana regiment, left Tampico at the head of about two hundred men, intending to proceed to the reliof of the prisoners, He took with him a small force of the regular artillery, a portion of his own regiment, and some of the mounted mun of Tampico—a services: ble deseription of force raised in the Itis more than probable that the colonel will have a brush with the enemy before he gets back. There are said to be pretty strong parties of guerillas on the route to be fl- lowed. Our accounts of the hoalth of Tampico, and especially of the Louisiana regiment, are moro favorable. The number of men on the sick list has rapidly decreased, but the remaining cases are somewhat more severe. They are mostly oases of intermittent fever; a few cases of bilious fever have occurred, some of them terminating fatally. Thero is very little yellow fever in the tow and the cases huve been confined to the elvil hospital. — ‘The fevers which prevail are beooming more malignant as the season advances. From a file of the Sun of Anahuac, published at Vera Cruz, wo have a few items of intelligence, The night of the 7th instant, a fight ooourred in Vera Cruz, between two Mexicans, in which one stabbed the other so severe- ly, that he died instantly. No names are given. ‘The U. 8. steamer Vixen, Captain Smith, arrived at Anton Lizardoon the 4th instant, from Tabasco. She Teported slight skirmish, the particulars of, which will be found under another head, the news having just been received here by way of Mobile. The U, 8. schooner Fiirt went up from the naval an- chorage to Vera Cruz on the oth instant, and returned the next day. The object of the movement was not known. Captain Mayo of the navy and governor of Alva having received intelligence that Father Jarauta was in the vicinity, and designed to surprise and take Alvara- do, went off'in pursuit of him at the head of onehundred and fifty men, proceeding up the river. At lat dates the expedition had not returned to Alvarado, nor had auy account been received from it. The editor of tue Sun of vinuhuac has seen the Re- ublicano of the 28th June, containing Mr Buchanan’s letter, with which wo are all familiar, and the pretended provetdings ofan American council of war, Upon the imformation thus derived, the wditor founds an article which we give below. [iis views are more fully deve- loped on the Spanish sido, but the English article is suf- ficient.) As to the court martial alluded to,the proceed- ings will be found in the news from the city of Mexico. (From the Sun of Anabuae of the 8th ins Wat Course witt Gex, Scorr Puasve?—The late intelligence we have received from Mexico, of the corres- pondence between Mr, Buchanan and the Mexican Min- ister of Foreign Relations, treating of pence, has it sems to us, altered the course which Gen. Scott was to pursue, We have deferred our rémarks until now, because we were afraid to be too hasty in our speculations, It seems most likely to us that Gen. Soot will not ed- vance any further until he receives orders from Wash- ington todo so, But will the cabinet at Washington give this order? We doubt it very much, because it ibis throw more difficulties in the way of the nego- tiations. It must have struck the mind of every one who has read the correspondence above alluded to, that the tone of the Mexican government has altered very much, if we should judge from the few lines addressed to Mr. Bu- K. hoje goods at the Custom House, SRC chanan’by the Mexican Premier in answer to his propo- sitions of peace. We do not see, in his letter, any’ of that arrogance which, in every instance before, has characterised the Mexican diplomatic correspondence— but on the contrary, a pretty polite, though short answer, in which he says that he declines ‘answering the argu- ments of Mr. Buchanan, until Congress, to whom he re- fers the matter, and who have solely the power to de- cide, shall have acted upon them. In a note which he addressed to Congress, he presses them to take imme- diate action upon them. But in the meantime, what is Gen. Scott todo? Will he take up his line of march for the capital, while there are hopes entertained for peace? This is not at all pro- bable. We therefore come to the conclusion that he will not make « step forward until all hopes for concluding a treaty of peace is lost. [Hrem the New Orleans Delta, July 15.) The American citizens in Vera Cruz celebrated Inde- pendence Day with,great éclat. The Declaration of In- dependence was read, and an oration delivered by Dr. Quin, A splendid dinner was given at the Arco Iris Hotel, at which many putriotic and cloquent speec! and sentiments were delivered. The foreign consuls tended the dinner, were toasted, and returned the com- pliments offered them, by offering toasts in honor of our country. (Correspondence of the Herald.) Vera Cavz, July oth, 1847. The camp at this place is healthy, and is situated on the beach north of the city two miles. The force is two thousand, designated as Plerce’s Brigade, and will leave in a few days for the interior, to join the army un- der Soot. We have no fear of the enomwy, having Wat's flying artillery,four pieces, and # very handsome dragoon force, under Capt. Duff. Lieut.

FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO—COUNCIL OF WAR AT PUEBLA, ETC. (From the Now Orleanf Picayune, July 10. © Diario del Gobierno, says BL Sol, of the 28th of June, publishes a lettor from Puebla, in which it {6 stated that on Thursday, the 24th ultimo, the Americans held a Council of War, in order to determine when they should proceed towards the capital. A General—whose name the writer did not know—was of opinion that it was not prudent or wise to march on the capital before they could carry with them at least 20,000 men—that, supposing all to be favorable to the Americans during their advauce, it was undoubted that they would meet with resistance, and in the attack would lose one-halfor more of their forces—thus reducing them to about 4000 men, which number would not be sufficient to hold possession of a city like Mexieo. Gen. Worth was of » contrary opinion, and stated that as soon ag an invader was detained in the progress of his march, a single retrograde step would bring upon him | the most disastrous culamities—and that this has been proved always. He added, with boasting pride, that six br eight thousand Americans were enough to couquer twenty thousand Mexicans, and that consequently. as triumph was inevitable, he saw no reason why they should not proceed immediate to the capital. Ge Scott and others were of the seme opinion as Gen. Wort! ‘Thus it was decided that the march should be coi menced to-day (the 28th); but there was some one who insinuated that it was notadvisable to follow immediate- ‘after the propositions of peace sent from the United tates. ‘The Commander-in-Chief said that he would remain a few days at Rio Frio, until he obtained a de- finite answer from the Mexican Government. The Americans have only about 8600 men, thirty pieces of artillery and one mortar, The Diario says that the Americans have put them- selves in « perilous situation, and that, even should St cour that they would obtain triumplis without namber, thore very triumphs would be their ruin Tho Republicans remarks upon this in‘ormation:— “We believe the Americans have compromised thetr ait- uation beyond meagure; and even in the event, certain- ly very aiMicult, that they win triumphs upon triumphs, their very victories Will cause their ruin.’ ‘The council above spoken of was beld on the 24th. It is not alluded to in the Star of Puebla, of the 26th, nor in Mr. Kendall’s letters, which come down to the 30th Yot tho facts are said to be derived from # responsible source, and they look plausiblo—Gen, Worth’s opinions particularly so. ‘The Republicano of the 29th, says no- thing about the subject; but in that paper of the soth is another postscript, to which is prefixed ia large let- tera, * Very linportant.”’ This poulsoript mentions the receipt of letters announcing the dobarkation of 1800 men at Vera Cruz from Tampico, who had marched im- mediately for Puebla.
