T.-idi the Second dragoons, and flying Ar
tillery naileries under Ridgely and Taylor
r.rrived at Camargo cn the 21st ultimo,
rnd were to proceed immedratcly to Mon- j
tcTcy. The first and second regiments of j
Ohio volunteers, the Louisville legion,;
and tire Ilaltimore regiment have also ar-;
rived at Camnrgo. In the march of the j
Volunteers from Matamoras they only lost!
tro men, proving their stamina in the J
most sati; factory way, the heat and pri-J
vations to which they w ere exposed be
ing duly considered. General Taylor
lias sijjnificd his intention to leave Camar
ro about the end of the first week in Sep
tember. He would assume personal di
rection of the whole advancing force at
JScralvo; thenceforward to head them un
til they met ihe cneinv.
There were various reports in circula
tion at Camargo, at latest dates, about the
position of things at Monterey; some an
nouncing that the Mexican army had
abondoned that city, others that they had
strongly fortified it, and would certainly
make a stand.
Gen. Worth's Hrioade. The steam
er Virginian crossed Gen. Worth andihis
command, consisting of the 8;h infantry
end two companies of artillery, over the
San Juan river, on the 19th tilt. Gen
Worth received orders to march to the
village of China, and remain there until j
further advised. On the 21st ultimo he
had readied one-third of the way to Sc
ralvo. all in perfect order. The other
brigades were following him rapidly. It
is stated, according to Mexican accounts,
piven in the streets at Camargo, that M ou
tcry had for its garrison about 5,000 men
of whom 2,000 w ere regnlur soldiers, the
others recruits. A force of about 1,000
cavalry was encamped at Caidcrcytc,
thirty or forty miles cast of Monterey.
San Antonio, Inoians, fcc. We learn
that Col. Harney, at the head cf about
320 Uni-eu States dragoons, 500 Texan
cavalry, from the Red River districts,
with Capt. Beaver, who has with him a
small company of Delaware Indians, was
moving on Monclova, thus anticipating
Gen. Wool's instructions. Co!. Harney
left San Antonio on the 2od July. Capt.
Merrill, United Slates dragoons, reached
Camargo from San Antonio on the 20th
ultimo, having traversed the distance,
three hundred miles, accompanied by
four Germans, three Delawarcs, and one
Cherokee. He passed through Laredo,
a tow n containing 1,500 souls, meeting no
obstacles on his way except the asperities
of the country.

We have just arrived from a cruize in
in the Bay of Mexico, as far down as
Vera Cruz bringing important despatch
es for our government from Com. Conner.
I wrote you from the Brazos we left in
a few days after that with a hearer of
despatches to Com. Conner, and after a
short run of G 1 hours, we arrived off the
fleet. The tenor of the despatches we
took down is surmised to be of import
ance, as I understood a flag of truce was
sent ashore to the city the next day.
Gen. Santa Anna has arrived in Vera
Cruz, and I understand he had a psssport
from cur Gocrnment, he was saluted by
the Castle, and I suppose ere this, he is at
the head of affairs in that country.
I was informed that a paper was re
ceived in the fleet from the shore, stating
that all the Departments of Mexico have
refused to inarch against Gen. Taylor.
I am sorry to communicate the loss of
the U. S. brig Truxton, Capt. Carpenter,
on the bar of Tuxpan, about 100 miles to
die north of Vera Cruz. Capt. Carpen
ter and all his officers, with the exception
of two, who were in boats (carrying out
hedges) and boat's crew, were captured
and made prisoners, and marched off to
Tampico. She dragged ashore in a gale
of wind. I cannot give you the particu
lars of her loss.
The follow ing is a list of vessels now
off Vera Cruz: The flag ships Cumber

store ship Rclieg, brig Somcrs, schooners
Flirt, p.oni'.o, Pctcrcl, Reefer, and reve
nue cutter Howard. Capt. Nones, offi
cers, and crew generally all well. The
cutter M'Lar.e and Van Buren were daily
expected, also the two small steamers
from New York. I will conclude my.

U. S. BRIG OF WAR TRUXTON
BURNT.
By the arrival of the U. S. Revenue
steamer Legare at New Oilcans, from
Vera Cruz, we are in receipt of letters
from our correspondents as late as the
29th ult. We have but time previous to
the closing of the mail to publish the fol
lowing letter:
U. S. Squadron, off
PtixT Antoxia de Lizardo
August 29th, 1840.
The onjy event of importance which
has transpired cf late, is the los of the
TJ. S. brig Trciton, oa the bar of the
Tuxpan river, about 130 miles north
ward of Vera Cruz. The intelligence
was brought to the Squadron on the 10th
by the St, Marys, that ship having pick
ed up one of the Truxton's boats with
Lieut. Berryman on board.
It appears that Capt. Carpenter of the
Truxion, wishing to get his vessel near
shore to protect his boats while obtaining
t

had taken out of a Mexican prize to pilot
him m. but who, whetlier Irom oesign or

bar, bilged and completely filled with wa-
burned. A few of the best spars were
brought off, hut otherwise she is a total
loss. She had been completely plunder
ed and stripl by the Mexicans before the
arrival of the Princeton. Her guns were
found to have been throw n overboard.
The Princeton ran into five fathoms wa
ter (she was draw n 19 '- feet) and w as
then about 1 miles distant, the swell
was so heavy that a nearer appoat h in
shoaler water was deemed dangerous.
After firing the brig, the Princeton re
turned immediately on the 23d to the
present anchorage, about ten miles south
ward of Vera Cuz. At the mouth of Tux
pan River, the Mexicans have a small
force tented in sheds. The town of Tux
pan is back some eighteen miles distant.
Several communication passed between
the Princeton and shore by flags of truce,
and by thein the fate of the captives was
learnt.
The cutter Legare. 60 hours from Bra
zos, arrived on the 25th with despatches
for our Commodore, supposed relating to
a three months armistice w ith the Mexi-
cans.
The distance from the Brazos to
this place is 450 miles, and was perform
ed under steam against strong head w inds.
The Legare returns to New Orleans for
repairs to her boilers, which are in a bad
condition, and prevents her carrying
steam.
About ten davs since S'V? Anna Ir-ft
v era V-ruz ior tne city of Mexico, pre
vious (o which, how ever, he sent a polite
invitation to our Commodore to meet him
on board the English frigate Endymion;
the interview did not take place. A few
days back one of the English frigate's
boats came down in a violent rain squall
with a communication for the Commo
dore the next da)' a flag of truce was re
turned, but no rumor of the business has
transpired. The frigate Potomac is near
ly disabled by the sickness of her crew,
the scurvy has broken out on board of
her, and she has now 1-10 cases of
the dreadful disease. On the 2?th, the
cutter Forw ard arrived from the jBalize,
but brought no intelligence of import
ance. The following is a list of the oflicers
attached to the Truxton, who have gone
to 1 ampsco.

Master Isaac N. Briceland; Passed Mid

WRECK, LOSS AND BURNING OF
THE TRUXTON.
We are indebted to a friend for the fol
lowing extract of a highly interesting let
ter, from an officer on board of the U. S.
squadron. It is dated "Off Anton Lizardo
August 28th," and gives a full and detailed
account of the Truxton and the surrender
der of Captain Carpenter and a large por
tion of his crew, in all GO souls:
"By the Mississippi, which sailed for
Pensacola on the Mth, I gave you an ac
count of our shameful retreat from before
Alvarado, on the 8th ult. I have now to
inform you of the loss by shipwreck, cf
the U. S. brig TruxtonCaptain Carpen
ter, on the evening of the l-lth instant, on
Tuxpan Bar, and the surrender of himself
officers and crew, excepting Lieutenants
Bushrod, Hunter and O. H. Berryman,
and 17 seamen, to the authorities on shore
as prisoners of w ar The Truxton sailed
from this anchorage on the 1 1th inst., to
relieve the John Adams, off Tampico,
with instructions to touch along the coast,
for the purpose of ascertainingwhere pro
visions could be had in the greatest quan
tities, and to supply herself accordingly.
On the day, or the previous to which she
grounded, a small Mexican schooner was
taken as a prize, and her cargo thrown
overboard. The master of this vessel
was taken on board the Truxton as a
pilot; and it is said, urged Captain C. not
to go nearer in than four fathoms. But
this advice was disregarded, so at least is
the report, and shortly after, four fathoms
was announced- The lead was again
thrown m 3 then immediately to 2i
when the vessel struck, end the wind
from the eastward with r6omo 1;
her so h'jh pa. tha bsr, ."that ia .a. hort
time all hope of saving her was was aban
doned, though every exertion was roads
fo to do.
At 11 P. on that day, Lieat. Berry
man, with eight seamen, in one of the cut
ters of the brig, started to this place for
assistance. But owing to strong winds
from the South and East, with a heavy
head sea, did not reach here until the 19th
when the steamer Princeton was imme
diate! ordered to the assistance of the
Truxton. On Saturday, August 22d,
Lieut. Bushrod Hunter and nine seamen
arrived here in a small schooner, which
j had been taken as a prize off Tuspan on
the previous Sunday. The Lieutenant
reported the Truxion high on the bar,
reported the Truxion high on the bar,
j with only six feet water under her, when
i ii i 1 J n i-1 , lukuiuiirjiiit-jkc mi i;iiiii;;uuj
to Lieut. II. , at anchor outside the bar.
I m possession of Lieut. H. 1 he let:er
stated that Captain C. had determined to
deliver up the brig, and to surrender him
self, officers and crew to the civil authori
ties, leaving it optional to Lieut. II. to
come in when able, and to share their
fate, or to make the best ot his way to
Vera Cruz and to rejoin the squadron.
He chose the latter.
He had nine seamen with him, making
two officers and 17 seamen, who have
safely readied there, leaving Gl souls as
prisoners in Tuspan, viz: Commander
Vs. W. Carpenter, passed Assistant Sur
geon, John S. Messersmith; Purser,
George F. Cutter; Acting Master, Isaac
N. Braceland; Passed Midshipmen, John
P. Bankhead, and George P. Bissell;
Midshipmen, Simon S. Bassett; Clerk,
Henry Wilkinson, and 53 seamen, A:c.
The affair is unfortunate, and the whole
matter will probadly undergo an investi
gation. The Princeton returned to this
anchorage on the the 23d, and brought a
a report that on Monday, August 17th,
the officers and crew were taken on shore
by 'shore boats, were kindly treated bv
the inhabitants, and on Wednesday, the
19th, were marched under guard to Tam
pico, about fifty miles from the scene of
the disaster.
The Princeton, on her arrival off Tus
pan, found Mexicans on board the Trux-
.-.nvr,l ln strinninor her. Thev"
decamped on the appearance of the uoaCs
of the P.; but had previously carried eve
ry tiling off except the low er and topmast
and the standing ringing. There was
eight feet water under her bow, six under
and the water was within four or rive
feet of her spar deck. She had buried
herself five or six feet in the sand. On
Saturday; August 22d, the Princeton
fired her in three different placed three
shells, tw o forward and one aft, which
exploded about sunset, and by 8 P. M.
she had burned to the water's edge.
Thus terminated the cruise and the history
of the Truxton !
