Gen. Worth had placed his pickets in advance for the arrival of the General. Ife ordered the whole division to advance, and take possession of » hacienda, within striking distance of a strongly fortified place called San Antonio, and also that reconnoitreing parties should be pressed forward still in advance; the party was support- ed by a squadron of cavairy and a battalion of infautry. In passing to the front, | tound that a troop which had been placed as # picket had gone forward; and as | came up with it, it made a turn in the road which brought it in full view of the enemy’s battery, which opened upon them. The first fire killed Capt. (Zhornton, mangling his body in the most horrid manver. ‘Tho ball, a sixteen pounder, afterwards struck the road, and literally cover- ed me with mud and fragments of stone, one of which made a slight bruise on my right thigh. A guide was knocked from his horse within five feet of mo, with shocking wound in the head by # piece of stone. It is thought he will recover, but with the loss of an eye. ‘The reconuoissance was continued right und left, with some hopes of storming the battery that afternoon ; but night and the rain came on, and it was given up. Very early the next morning, | discovered from the top of the house in which we were quartered in San Augustin, » large body of the enemy, rome 12,000 or 15,000, on our left, about three miles distant. The General had order- ed reconngissances in that dircction towards San Angel, where [ re tohim.

The Gene- ral, when he received the intelligence of this victory, sent General Worth back to make a demonstration on San Antonio, whilst he, with the portion of the army which was pressing the enemy, should get in its rear.

After 4 fow minutes, we passed on to a village called Coyoca- can, where we heard firing on our right, about two miles off, in the direction of San Antonio. The General im- mediately sent me, with Captain Kearney’s troop, to ascertain the etate of aifuirs, We galloped on, and om approaching the place, I found that Worth had turned the place by both flanks, and driven the enemy fromit,and was itt hot pursuit. ‘I returned to the Gene- ral as quickly a1 had gone} and ad I eattoped along | heard @ brisk firing intront.

Inthe meantime, Worth having hotl pursued the enemy, came up with him at another forti- fied place in advance of San Pablo, called Churubaseo: and, after an obstinate resistanoe, carried it, made many prisoners, and drove the enemy before him. ‘The dragoons pursued, and followed him to the very gates of the city.
