Col. P. on the. 27th, took up his line of

them at El Emboda on the 20lh. They
were discovered in the thick brush oil"
each side of the road, at the entrance of a
defile, by a party of spies, who immedi
ately fired upon them. A charge was
made by the three companies, resulting
in the total route of the Mexicans and In
dians. The battle lasted half an hour,
but the pursuit was kept up for two
hours.
The march was resumed on the next
day, rnd met with no opposition until the
eveninffof the 3d of February, at which
time they arrived at the Pueblo de Taos,
where they found the Mexicans and Indi
ans strongly fortified.'
On the next day a fi;ht ensued. A
church which had been used as a part of
the fortifications was taken by this charge.
The fijht was hotly contested until night,
when two while flags were hoisted, but
were immediately shot down. In the
morning the fort was surrendered. At this
battle foil Capt. Bnrgwin.
The total loss of tlie Mexicans in the
three engagements is estimated at 2S2 kil

47 wounded, three of whom have since
died.
The attack upon Moro is also confirm

lower towns were laid in ashes.
The news is also confirmed of the cap
ture of Chihuahua, but it was after a hard
fought battle, the particulars of which we
have not received.
From Vera Cruz.
On the 28th of March Gen. Scott had
the resolution of Congress presenting the
thanks of Congress to Gen. Taylor and
his army promulgated in general orders in
the follow inrr words : "As many of those
4 gallant officers and men who achieved
4 the brilliant victories alluded to are now
4 with this particular army, at a great dis
4 tance from the distinguished Major Gcn
4 eral Taylor, the pleasing duty devolves
4 upon the General-in-chief to announce
4 that resolution in printed orders to the
4 whole army now with him."
Some men belonging to the New York
and 1st Pennsylvania regiments, and four
sailors from the frigate Potomac, left the
camp at Vera Cruz the 28th ultimo, and
went out into the country seven or eight
miles. Some oi them returned the same
evening, and reported that they had been
attacked by rancheros, and most of their
number killeJ. No faith was placed in
their representations, but on the 31st a
detachment was sent out, and found the
remains of five of those killed. They
had been shot and horribly mutilated.
Among those who were killed were the
Rev. W. H. T. Bnrnef, of Wilmington,
Delaware; Robert "Jeff, of Southvnrk,
Pennsylvania; George W. Miller of Pro
videuce, Rhode Island, belonging to the
Philadelphia Rangers; Benjamin Fane,
of Providence, Rhode Island; Hardin, of
the Potomac; and three men belonging to
tlie New York reiriment, whose names
are not known.
A stringent order was issued by Gen.
Scott on the 1st of April, denouncing cer
tain outrages which had been committed
by a few worthless soldiers in the army,
and calling upon ibe mass of the troops,
officers and privates, to assist in bringing
to justice tho.-e who should disgrace our
national name by anv violation of law
whatever. Soldiers rre not allowed to

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
! xlra(.t from a letter of an officer of the
Army to a friend in New York.
"Camp at Agua Nceva, Mexico,
"February 28, 1817.
"Take this whole transaction
in all its parts, it is without doubt the
j ere:ltcst vici0TYi the best fought battle, in
which our country has yet been engage;!.
I can hardly credit it that I have myself
seen and taken part in such an astounding
a flair.
Gen. Taylor himself personally was
the first and highest clement in accom
plishing this great victory; the second
was our liht artillery. The volunteers
as a whole did exceedingly well; t!i3 ex
ceptions to this are rather individual than
by corps. Santa will not, I think, return
to the conflict until his Congress have
given him further means. If he does, he
will assuredly be beaten again; that is, if
Gen. Taylor commands our forces.
"The day (the 23d) was one
of great vicissitude; two or three times it
seemed that tlie day inusi inevitably be
the enemy's. It would have been but for
ocr General; he could not, would not
give way; he stood firm on the hill, in the
midst of the fire, the wholk dav, until
night. At night, as soon as dark, the cn
emy commenced his retreat, and at day
Iifht not a vestige of him was to be seen.'
From the '"Union."
FURTHER CALL UPON VOLUN
TEERS. We understand that the President of
the United States is about to vail immedi
ately about 0,000 more volunteer troops
into the public service. They are prin
cipally intended to fill up the places of
the volunteers whose time is about to ex
pire. It is probable that many of them
will renew their engagements; but, to pro
vide for any passible contingency, it is
deemed best to make the present call.
These troops are intended to strength
en the three divisions of our army, viz:
at Santa Fe, the army in the direction of
the Rio Grande, and the column of Vera
Cruz.
REVENUE UNDER THE TARIFF
OF FORTY-SIX.
Previous to th adjournment of the late
Congress, the Secretary of the Treasury
furnished certain members with a state
ment showing that during- the m oath of
December, January and February last,
the revenue at three principal ports was
$803,000 more than for the correspond
ing months of the previous year. This
statement was seized upon as a trium
phant vindication of the new tariff.
Tlie Whigs said at tlie time that the in
crease would be merely temporary, as it
was caused by the keeping back larg
quantities of goods to profit by the re
duction of "duties. The following state
ment, for the month of March, of tlie re
ceipts at New York alone will show how
fully their calculations arc about to be
verified. .

A liberal estimate of the number of the
population of Vera Cruz in 1811 fixed it
at 0,500 souls, and this shows that one
sixth of the entire population died in this
year. Of this one-sixth, about an equal
proportion perished from vomito. The
disease, Diarrhoea and Dysentery are the
most fatal in the catalogue.
Mr. Mayer, in proceeding with the
consideration of this subject, remarks:
"In 1812, I am told that nsar two
thousand died of vomito at Vera Cruz.
This, however, was owing to the number
the consequent action shall be. The war
itself claims too much cf the sacrifice of
life to leave victims of disease to work its
will upon, and we question much, having
for our basis the facts stated, whether it

under such apprehension, the General did
