time a chan:;g one. We were obliged
.o ststid the lire from a well-directed bat
tery of iwelve-poundcru from the Caetle,
- which were directed at the howitzer and
mortar, beforementioned as being imme
diately in front. Their pieces were very
troukksome. Their cavalry formed in
front of the Castle frequently, for the
purpose, it is supposed, of making an at
tack upon us, but a bomb thrown in their
midst soon dispersed them. The Legion
. was formed in squares every hour or so
for the purpose of receiving their expect
ed attack on the battery. This is the
reason why we were not actively engaged.
Gen. Butler ordered us into the city at
oti3 time, but Major Munroe, who had
charge of the pieces remonstrated in the
strongest terms, and said that the mortar
In t ry would be taken by the Mexicans
in half anhourafter we lcft,&that thcpieces
we were protecting were then doing more
1 .image to the enemy than we could pos
fcibly do in the city. Upon this, Gen.
Butler then countermanded the order.
" We laid for nine long hours flnt upon
the ground, the balls whizzing a few feet
over us. It is no fun, I assure you, to
shot at as a target without the power of
sending back. Il commenced raining a
W.n 4 o'clock, and did not ceaee during
thz whole night. It was quite cold, and
many of us had no blankets. We were
kept on the watch ground until 12 o'-
clock at night, when the pieces were
moved to camp a distance of about two
and a half miles in a very heavy rain and
deep Tiind. We had nothing to at .all
lay. nothing to cook when we got .to
camp, unu no me to cook ll Lv. Uur
comp guard, because of an anticipated at
tack -on the camp by the Mexicanlancers,
had struck all the ter.ts and packed the
wrgons with every thing, blankets and
alt, making it impossible lor us to get our
Lhmkets. It was an exceedingly disa
greeable night, but it was rather better
than dodging twelve pounders.
Rumor says thattho enemy will be
siKowedtv leave by giving up their arms,
ammunition, and public stores. If this is
not acceded to, -the fights will be recom
menced to-morrow morning. The Gen
eral does not wish to capture them, ss he
Trill have to support them, and is very
hort of supplies for his own troops.
"The fight on the first day was obsti
tiute to the lasl, and many feared the day
would end disastrously. Our loss in
killed and wounded during the three days
emcotbe less than 500.
"There arc various accounts as to the
manner in which the action was first
brought on, some saying it was against
Gen. Taylou's orders by the rashness of

in a glorious triumph over twice our num

ceedingly difficult, and could not be ef

As soon as supplies are received to en

press on to Chihuahua, taking Santa

former town is garrisoned with regular
troops, and is said to be capable of strong
resistance. inis line of operations is
longer than might be selected, but it has
the advantage of turning the mountain

provisions and runs within seventy or

The entente crdiale between France
and England is at an end. Henceforth
the two powers will move independent
ly of each other. France joins Spain
with a view to the rc-conqucst of the
Spanish Americans. There is some
anxiety yet in the minds of the owners
of the Great Brtiain. The noble vessel
is still ashore, although every efibrt lias
been made to remove her. It is thought
she will not sustain much more damage
than she already has.

Hood's mission will snap another link of

riages have left any unbroken. Mr. Hood
lias gone homo for fresh instructions, and
to tell his Government, long since heartily
sick of the "intervention," that his at
tempts to make a pacific arrangement have
been defeated, not by Rosas, not by Oribe,
not by Fructuoso Rivera, not even by the
handful of malcontents in Montevideo, but
by the French Minister, Baron Geffi-udis.

from this place, at a village called San
Domingo, inhabited by the Puebl i Indi
ans. Our reception at this village was
quite a grand affair, the principal men
and braves ol the tribe met us six miles
from the town and cscortod us in; the
braves were mounted on iheir best horses
and dressed in the most gaudy apparel,
and armed ami equipped in the same
manner as when they go oat for the pur
pose of fighting. When tee General pass
ed the hejil of their columns, they fired
oil' their guns, and then one file on each
side of our companies proceeded to the
rear and then wheeled and came down
close to our lino at the top of the speed cf
their horses, yelling and going through all
the manouvres of a regular charge; thev
met again at the head of our columns,
fired at each other with their pistols, make
passes with their lances, and then filed
off and returned to the head of our com
panies. This was repeated several times
to the great admiration and astonishment
of all who witnessed it. I have never
seen better horsemen anywhere, and
from what I could discover I should take
them to be formidable in battle. If propcr

and much superior in every jespect to
the Mexican population. They have a
very fine village, most splendid vineyards
and appear to be much more comfortable
in every respect than the Mexicans.
When we got into the village, we were
invited into the priest's house, where a
most stupendous repast was set out, con
sisting of the best grapes I ever saw, mel
ons, apples, cakes, and with liquor suffi
cient to wash them down.
After our repast, the General made a
speech to the citizens, who appeared
quite well pleased; they then escorted us
out of town, and we went on our way re
joicing, with full stomachs, and every
man with just liquor enough to make him
feel patriotic. This was the only Indian
village we visited.
After we left San Domingo, we passed
through villages every right or ten miles,
until we reached the village of Tonic.
The remains were escorted from the late
residence of the deceased, in Franklin Row

THE 1YORI..D.
FRANCE AND THE MONARCHIES.
The political affairs of France excite
attention, not only in the Old World, but
in the New, because the death of Louis
Philippe, which cannot be far in futurity,
is regarded with anxiety and apprehen

Philippe acting upon " the doctrine of
"lorewarned, lorearmed, is endeavoring
not only to render his own reign pacific,
steady, and permanent, but to smooth the
way and strengthen the dynasty of his
successor. The chances arc, we think,
that he will succeed, for although the out
brech may take place on the announce
ment of his death, the Government will
be so strong, and their plans be so well
matured, as lo nip an insurrection in the
bud. This is clearly the policy of the
king of the French and cf his ministers
and they are assisted in their views by
the British Government, to say nothing of
Austria, Russia, and Prussia.iBicknclb
