We regret to learn that the Tampico mail ‘was stolen at an early hour yesterday morning, and ri- fled of a portion of its contents. Some of the letters were subsequently recovered, though the rogue sup- posed he had disposed of them by casting them into a water closet. 11 the mail was a letter addressed to Wm. Swift, Eaq., fom the contents of which it would appear thet three U 8. pry 4 notes, numbered 321, 322, and 323, for $500 each, have been abstracted. They were dated Oct. 31,1846. It is supposed that other va- luable letters have been stolen. Capt. White's company of the 3d Louisiane battalion received orders at Vera Cruz to embark on board the New Orleans and proceed to Tampico. They did so at once, and reached their destination on the 4th inst. The Tampico Sentinel says they mustered one hundred men rank and file. Capt. Fairchild’s company paraded in Vera Cruz on the 6th inst., fully armed and equipped. They made a fine appearance. The following morning they started out on a scout, Lieut. Waters, with a detachment of Capt. Besancon’s company, returned from a scout on the 6th inst. About 15 miles from the city while riding along the banks of the Medellin river, they were fired into some Mexi- cans concealed in the bushes on the opposite side of the river, but no harm was done. ‘The Sun says that one of the party, Mr, Wilkinson, being in advance, entered a house which had, from all appearance, been abandoned with precipitation, and found in it some papers, among which was the following pass 2d Comrany or tur East. ‘The chiefs of guerillas will please let the bearer, Cres- pin Marin, pass unmolested, with ten mules, as he goes to Vera Cruz to get provisions for the guerillas, God and Liberty! Estero, August 5, 1847. JUAN ABURTO, To the commanders of guerrillas. A train left the evening of the 6th inst, for the army above ; it was escorted by about 1000 men. The follow- ing officers are enumerated by the Sun as commanding them:—Capts. Clarke, Morris, Alvord, Hoke, Hornsby, and Winans, of the infantry; and Lieut. Jones, Cant well, Waddell, Wheeden, Wilkins, Doyle, Sears and Creanor, of the artillery. Some ascounts set down the number of troops in this train at from 1500 to 2000; our own correspondent says one thousand. ° The Sun relates thut on the 3d inst., 1 man named ‘Thomas Clark, belonging to the first infantry, a prisoner in the guard-house of the palace, tried to pass the sol- dier then on guard. and. to accomplish his purpose seized one end of the soldier's musket,and made some ef- forts to take it out of his hands. ‘The latter fired at Clark, the ball passing in Sera his side and comin, out through his back. ‘The ball afterwards wounde another man named George Evans, one of the eempany of mounted men under Capt. Besancon, and finally grazed the hip of the sentry at the other endof the portallis, also belonging to the first infantry. The name of the man who fired is James Robinson. Our correspondext writes that his conduct was fully justified, The wounded men were immediately sent to the hospl|- tal, and it is said Clark and Evans are dangerously wounded. Onthe 4th inst., two cut throats, by some supposed to be guerillas, attacked @ sergeant of the 14th infantry, while on his way from the city te the camp at Vergara. Both Mexicans were well armed, while the ot had only his sword. ile usod it te good purpose, driving off the Mexicans, but receiving several slight wounds him- self, A detachment of the Georgia cavalry was sent out under Capt. Loyell, to endeavor to overhaul the two Mexicans, but the pursuit was vain. A small lot of pack mules arrived at Vera Cruz on the 6th inst., from the interior. The owners would not dis- close how they passed the guerillas, but it is shrewdly suspected that they paid four dollars # head for leave to come in, The following day one hundred and fifty pack mules arrived from Cordova, laden with sugar and Mexi- can brandy. No doubt is entertained that Jarauta or some of the? guerilla chiefs have adopted the plan of gesting permits in order to raise the wind. Hopes are entertained that in this way some trade will be carried on between Vera Cruz and the interior. Nothing later has been received by this arrival from thearmy at Puebla. Various rumors had reached Vera Crug, purporting to be from Mexico. One of these is to the effect that commissioners had actually been appoint- ed by Santa Anna to meet Mr, Trist. Our correspond- ent at Vera Cruz, writing on the 7th inst., attaches im- portance to this rumor. We may recur toi On the 3d inst. a mail arrived in Vera Cruz from Ja- lapa. The Boletin de las Noticias was received by it as late as the 30th fbn A This is a little paper thorough- ly Mexican, published in Jalapa. From it we learn more particulars of Gen. Pierce’s march through that town than had before been received. The Bolet/n says that the train which the general escorted passed by without halting, but he, with 300 dragoons entered the city, and addressed the following note to the corporation—(We give the Sun’s translation:) Satara, July 96, 1947. To the Corporation of Jalapa:—A brigade of the Ame- rican army, now encamped near Jalapa, are in want of provisions.’ | therefore ask this corporation of Jalapa to furmish, at @ reasonable price, all this brigude is in need of. I will take the necessary steps to protect those who will furnish those provisions. If, at 2 o’clock this evening, precisely, the provisions demanded are not for- warded, all the members of the corporation will be sent to Peroté as prisoners. F. PIERCE, Ww. Van Bonus: rigade Q. M. ‘The reply of the corporation is given on the Spanish side of the Sun. ‘Che members are very indignant at what they consider the harsh language of the general — They make no difficulty tthe provisions; these ewuld have been had at reasonable rates, without any threat. They deplore their unforturate position, being dofenceless. ‘This they say should have protected them from insult. Gen Pierce is the fist American officer, they say, who has thus had occasion to find fe with them. ‘The reply is “‘pretty sharp” upon the general, but it is hardly worth translating. We give from the Sun of Anuhuac the following sum- mary of news made from the Holetin :— The same paper says that a Mexican, (“traitor,” it says,) was encountered , by # purty of guerillas, and be- ing suspicious, he was required to undergo an examina- tion, but having offered resistance, he was killed. Three large packnges, containing letters from the officers of the army, to their friends in the United States, were found in bis possession. The Boletin adds: “In said correspondence it is stated shat great ydiscord exists between the volunteers and regulars of the American army, and that this may cause them to fightamong themselves.’ That paper is delighted with this, and takes that op- portunity to call the Americans “highway robbers,” “Yankees,” &e. It also says that it appears from inter cepted letters, that Gen. Pillow and other American chiefs are of opinion tint the attack upon the capital will not be successful---that the commanding officers con- sider the capital to be in a very strong state of defence, as much for its fortifications as for the number of men who will be brought in action---and finally that th rillas had completely interrupted the correspond bet Puebla and Vera Cruz. The letters, after having been read, were sent to the government at Mexico. Four American d-scrters arrived at Jalapa, on the 20th ult.. three of whom were from Puebla antoue from Gen, Pierce’s train. ‘They were to leave Jalapa for Coatepee, The Bolr/'n saya that those from Puebla re- port that the desertion was very great from the ranks of the American army. and that seventy-three deserters were advertised in one day, at Puebia. The one from Gen, Pierce's train, is said to report that wagons full of sick follow him. We don’t believe one word of this. The Boletin farther says that the inducements held out to Americans to desert are not enough; that if the govemment would promise them money or any other re- wards Scott's army would be destroyed. It counsels the Governors of States to take measures to foment and en- courage desertion. The aame paper tays arsassinations are frequent in Jalapa, as woll ¢f Americans as Mexicans, A small gar- rison is required there for the protection of the inhabi- tants. The Boletin of the 30th ult. says ite res of the 27th was so far from giving offence to the Americans that it was bought by many officers and soldiers. The Boletin expresses its sur that the Americans had not re- buked its freedom with them, as Santa Anna would have done with the prees of the capital, ‘Another courier from Jalapa arrived at Vera Cruz on the 7th inst., and it have received the Boletin of the ist and 3d of August. The letters received by this mail give no later news from Mexico or Puebla, but some further details. We announced « week “90 the death of a messenger from Mr, Kendall, named Francisco Fane. We now learn to our surprise that he was not killed outright when taken. je was tried, and condemned to shot. ae sentence was executed the morning of the 3d August, ‘¢ find in the Boletin little news worth copying, but some long articles which we have not room for to-day, even if they worth translating. We turn to other Mexican papers, in which we perceive a series of decrees of Santa Anna, Yip ese through Cen, Lombardine, ‘They refer to the organization of troops, forced loa &e., and are not generally very interesting. A decree the 12th July orders a striot compliance with a previous one, directing Americans to leave the city. It commands — to leave within -eight hours for San Juan del from Mexico, Those thus ordered from the cont clude not only Americans by birth, but natural sens of the United States, and all who under text have previously obtained leave to remain, wie, and especially not to move a step towards the 8 A stringent decree was issued on the 13th of July, the preamble of which assigns the “movement of the enemy upon the capital ’’ as an excuse for its harshness. Every soldier found outside the line of sentinels of the city, no matter under what pretext, unless he have a written from a chief of the line, 1s declared a deserter. and tobe shot as such. Those whe may assist or encour- age to desert are also to be dealt with summari- ly. The last clasue of the decree, however, allows those who may already have deserted to give themselves up within four deys, and 80 escape all ities, Another decree, dated the lst of July, provides for the lon of two companies of infantry, to be formed out of the “Foreign Legion,” which are to be known as the “First and ud Companies of Active Infan- try of St, Patrick.” Each company is to consist of a captain, a lieutenant, two sub- @ first ser- wean oar secon d sergeants, nine cornets, and eighty soldiers, There are various other decrees in the papers, which, if not otherwise interesting. prove how absolute is the authority of Santa Anna. Under the powers conferred upon him to resist the invasion, he isin fact, though not in name, a supreme Dictator. * We have received Y this arrival a copy of the Tam- ico Sentinel of the Sth inst. That ‘th sta of aie i that ofty ta: — ib ecudns We not attacked, we are not all prisoners, nor is the yellow fever carrying death and destruction into the dwelling places of our inhabitants; but on the contrary, we are in Se saegmeey of a reasonable share of that precious boon, ith; there being no epidemic amongst us, and what few cases of sickness that really do exist are of # mild character, and readily give way to medical treatment, As to our being attacked. we hope bi 4 pax be, but the prospect looks dull at the present writing. The Sentinel takes exceptions to the atrictures of the press upon the expedition to Huejutla, We have nei- ther time nor room to discuss the subject to-day. We have received no letters from Tampico by this ar- rival. Can the following order of Col. Gates have auy- thing to doawith this? We hope, at all events, that underscore one paragraph in the orders. Orvers No. 67. Heangvarrens, Derantanyr or tered: August 7, 1847, 1. The following extract from the “Army Regulations” is published for the information of all concerned :— “ Private letters or reports relatiye to military marches and operations are frequently mischievous in design and pred = vom creha to the army. They are therefore strictly forbidden; and any officer found guilty of m ing such report for es without special permi sion, or of placing the writing beyond his control, so that it flads its way t» the press within one month after termi- nation of the campaign to which it relates, shall be dis- missed the service.” 2. Any citizen of Tampico found guilty of making similar reports for publication, without the sanction of commanding officer, will be dealt with according to the nature of the case. By order of Col. Gat 'M. H. GRAY, A. A. A. G. INTERESTING RUMORS OF PEACE. (Correspondence of N. O. La Patria.) Mexico, July 19, 1847 It is now eight days since we are deprived of the satis faction of knowing the news of this country through the medium of the press, as the Diario del Gobierno, which is the only one which is published since the 11th instant, serves cnly to put usin despair with ity insipi- dity of the details which it publishes; consequently we are prying into every thing, and seeking signs which may show us what the government thinks, and what it intends to do in the present circumstances, The shame- ful apathy in which it lies, manifests clearly that as re- gards the national defence, thero is more smoke than fire; (mas es el ruido que lus nueces,) since having had and having yet the best opportunities in the world to destroy the’ American army which is in this vicinity, everything lies in masterly inactivity. I have conver: to day with several persons, who, like myself, pry into every thing among them—there are editors and compi- lors, who, as it is to be suppposed, are now more anxious than ever to know what pusses. It is manifest that all operations indieate that very soon we shall have peace—perhaps before @ month—and it i oareatt that all the preliminaries are already con- cluded. I, in truth, am aston{shed to see Sante Anna and his followers continue always showing themselves disposed to bring the war to an end—'to die or to conquer’”’—but without ever their actions according with their words. We have forces andarms sufficient to exterminate an invading army even double that which General Scott brings; but, according tomy mode of seeing, it wants the principal:—deision ‘The, articles which appear in the Government paper, areall full of energy and patriot- ism—but unfortunately for Mexico, it seems that all the patriotism and energy are locked up in printing. The aspect of the city does not manifest iu any manner the tewror which the state in which it is found ought to in- fuse; nothing is @en which may ind: nation and rancor, which the proximity of an invading sey, which it can never love, should inspire in patriotic hearts, I do not understdnd the Mexicans. Sauta Anna himself obliges us to forma different opinion of him each day. Will it be possible that they will permit their rights to be trampled under foot with impunity to such extreme? Shall they allow to be slain the little honor which is left them, ina moment s¢ favorable to regain that which they have already lost.

Seeing the protests und promises which are daily made, J cannot conceive how they would humiliate themselves shamefully by concluding a ridiculous and dishonorable peace; put uotwithstanding all this, | repeat, it is as- sured, and it is believed, by « great number of respecta- ble persons, that very soon will be concluded an amica- ble adjustment. Let us wait patiently, since it will not be long before we will know the result, and then we will beable to judge more properly of these men and their words. THE ARMY OF GEN. TAYLOR. The United States transport schooner Belle, Capt. Morgan, arrived yesterday from Brazos Santiago, having sailed thence on the 6th inst. ‘The papers from Mata- moros are no later than have been before received, but mail through from the army of Gen.

Easton’s command, giving a full account of thelate massacre of eight men, on the Arkansas, of which I wrote yous few days since. The particulars are about these :—As is usual in all newly raised corps of volunteers, but little discipline had characterized the command of Col. Easton, The soldiers would wander offfrom camp, and frequently unarmed. On the north side of the Arkansas, along the wagon route, there is very little timber, and on camping it became necessary to send to the south side forfuel. The men, though fre- quently reprimanded for #0 doing, were in the habit of crossing in disorder, and often unarmed, On the morning of the?216t of July, about twenty-five men crossed in this manner, and scattered out from the river bank, over an area of several hundred y Sud- denly a host of savages—my correspondent says not less than five hundred—rose up from the grass, armed with spears, and commenced among the volunteers an indis- criminate slaughter. Such of the men as were armed, fought, as best they might, against such odds, but most of them rushed ut once for the river. One was chased into the stream by an Indian, and there killed, Ano- ther was severely wounded on the bank ‘As soon as the fring was heard in camp, a number of the companions of the unfortunate men rushed to the regcuc, perceiving the approach fof whom the Indians fled, leaving on the field olght dead and four wounded. The names of those who fell are as follows:—Of Cupt. Barne’s company, killed—Henry Barlow, Valentine Regg, William Duncan, Francis Tureott, Ludwick Tan- ner and Jacob Johnson; scalped and otherwise severely wounded—Benjamin Frost. Of Capt. Paul's company, killed—Philander Porter and Charles Fuss; wounded— Amizi Stanley, Michael McBride and William Warner; the first slightly, the two latter severely. Frost was reen to fight desperately with his clubbed rifle, but on searching the ground that evening for the slain and wounded, he could not be found Next day about noon he was observed on the south bank of the river, whither he had crawled. He stated that he had known nothing after he fell, until next morning, when he was arous by fring in camp. He was scalped in shocking man- ner, the entire head being flayed! ‘Three days after he was atill alive, and hopes were entertained for his re- covery. The rest of the wounded, it was thought, would also recover. Of the killed, four were scalped. The enemy, it is supposed, lost one man killed, and at least one wounded, Several were borne from the field, The savages were Camanches, and bad one white man, armed with a rifle, among them. He spoke English, and was heard to say, * Come on, if you will fight.” A most shocking instance of barbarity to a slave oc- curred in this city recently, and the facts have just be- come public. Last weok the coroner was called to hold an inquest on the body of @ colored female child, nine years of age, the property of @ person by the name of Cordell, who lives # few miles out of town. The child had been hired to a family by the namo of Tanner, re- sidiag in this city, and it is alleged that authority had been given by Mrs, I’, to a negro woman to correct the child at will. A few days since, the little girl was sent home to Mr. Cerdell ina dying condition, und almost flayed alive. She lingered @ short time, and died. ‘The jury of inquest fonud on examining the corpse, that the body had been deeply excoriated from the crown of the head downward, apparently with « raw hide. There were several deep cuts through the scalp, laying the scull bare, and around the neck, and on several parts of the extremities were traces of cord. The child no doubt had been bound and strangled to prevent her cries, She was insane when brought to her master’s house, and begged incessantly for bread, ahowing that among the horrid cruelties practiced by her tormenters, star- vation had not been overlooked, Horrid as are these circumstances, no arrest has yet been made in connes- tion with them! Yours, ARGUS, Tue Yave Counece Commencement.—The class of 1797 held their first class meeting since their graduation, on Tuesday. Twelve out of the twenty-four surviving members were present; and only thirteen out of the thirty-seven who graduated had died. The longevity of the members of this class ix truly remarkable, two-thirds of the whole number be- ing alive after a separation of half a century, while no other class within fourteen years of it, presents so rare a sprinkling of stars on the triennial catalogue. Among the deceased of this class were the Hon. Henry Bald- win, LLD., of Pittsburgh, late Judge in the Supreme Court of the U. 8.; Hon. Samuel A Foote, LL.D., of eshire, late Governor of Connecticut; Gen. Jirah Isham, of New London; Rey. Timothy Field, of Wind. ham, Vt.; Rev. Ira Hart, of Stonington; and Rev. A: Lyman, of Clinton, N. Y. Of the thirty-seven m bers of the class, sixteen made law their profes- sion, six of whom became magnates, and four at- tained the degree of LL.D.; thirteen became Qon- gregational and Presbyterian clergymen, and two clergymen in the Protestant Episcopal ehurch. Of the clergymen three have been honored with the degree of DD. About three fourths of all the members of the class are, or have been communicants in ortho- dox churches, and most of them officers in those churches. The twelve who assembled on this occasion were the Rev, Lyman Beecher, 0. D,, President of Lane Seminary, at © Esq , of Hatfield, Mass; Rev, Israel Brainerd, of Vernon, New York; Rev. Diodate Brockway, of Filington. Hon. Ben- nett Bronson, of Waterbury ; Asabel Clarke, Enq of Columbia, Conn.; Rev. Syivester D: N. H.; Hon. Thomas Day, L.. L. D., lat State, Hartford, Conn.; Rev. Charles Goodrich, of Ha- vanna, Chemung county, N Hen. Sylvester Maxwell, of Charlemont, Mass. ; Rey. James Mur- dock, D. D., of New York City. The meeting wan of intense interest to thore present; and, with unanimous consent, it was agreed to moet again, if life should be spared, at the end of three years; and that the other survivors of the class who were not at this meeting, be folicited to attend, and poth share and increase the luxury of such a fraternal embrace in the evening of life.—New Haven Herald, Aug. 2 Intrerry Coxpuct or a Lirtin Gir.—We learn from the Boston Advertiser that, on Mon- day afternoon, as the children of Col, Thompson and Captain Alden Gifford were playing on the banks of the canal, in Woburn Centre, @ little daagh' of Colonel Thompson, six years old, fell into the canal, when Isn- bella, the daughter of Capt.
