The news just received, corroborates the ac counts given to our readers - on day before yes terday, and establishes beyond doubt the fact, that a great victory over an immense host of the bosstful--Mexfcans Sad been achieved. By:the despatches which reachel - Washington ' this morning, and which have just been telegraph ed to this place, ail apprehension as to the fate of our littiviinkji is removed. Tiptoe . with. his command, at last accounts, safriu Monterey.,.All communication with Ca _ roargo was cut off' by the Mexicans. After the battle at Saltillo, the Mexicans were permitted to return and bury their dead. It is but proper to add that the despatches re _ ttived at Washington are not tfficint, but every - reliance may be placed in them. • It is supposed 'that Taylor's communications to the Department at WarbingtOn, giving a detailed account of his operations, were intercepted by the enemy. Santa Anna has sent a communication to the' • Mexicen Congress in favor of peace, so we are in. formed. Ile-confesses that his loss at Buena Vista' amounted to about 3000. The remainder of his army is in a deplorable condition of starvation. Five thousand.of his troops have deserted. Colonels. Curtis and Gregg, with the Ohio and Virginia volunteers, and Hunter's U. S. Dragoons, jiii4iptiotted, had defeated the 31exicans under Gen. :llrrea. Capt„Lowel, who, on account of ill health, had teen relieved from the command of Fort Brov. - n; had retuttleti hoine, The North Carolina, Virginia and Massachusetts troluinaers had arrived et the Brazos. it is said that Santa Anna is in full retreat a , gain upon Sin Louis Potosi. Midshiprnais_Rodgers has been rescued. lie was on hisway, under guard for the castle and prison of Peroti, when the guard was intercepted slid-captured by the Americans. GEN Karr at VERA CRUZ. PENNSYLVANIA 'TROOPS The American troops %rare landed a ftv niilec below Vera Cruz, in surf boats, tinder a Leavy fire of shells and round shot from the Mexican bat- teries, but without having sustained much damage. the attack on the Mexican defences and approach:. es tuthe city,. was made in three divisions, led, ihPectively,liy Generals Worth, Patterson, and Twiigs In tbe:ais.ault upon the Mexican works, Captain Athiirtett; of the 2d Infantry, and - 17 men weie killed'un the part of the Americans. The sit rely invested, and all the water pipesi . it. All the redoubts of , tba,Maxicana were led by our gallant troops - at tbe point of :the bayonet, and every thing with _ - out: the walls of- the city. • Gen. Worth with his division encountered the Mexican cavalry and completely dispersed them. Several - magazines were captured and a great deal of the enemy's ammunition had been taken. - As soon as the American troops were debarked from„their boats, with loud buzzes they formed! into colurrMs of companies and marched towards • the city with the utmost alacrity ant enthusiasm. - Both the Pennsylvania Regiments behaved bravely and nobly-Lsurtaining fully all the bight expec-, • to - that bad been formed of them. A large number of beef cattle, with other pro , Tisions, intended for the supply of the beleagured City. and. Castle of Vera Cruz, were intercepted and captured by the force under Gen. Twiggs. The want of cavalry was severely felt by the Amerieims. That description of force was much needed to overtake and cut off the retreat of the Mexicans, who bad gone off with a -vast treasure in specie and other valuables." The city of Vera Cruz, now completely invest - c 'ed. must 'soon fall into our bands. The plans and --•- • ' 'dispositions made by General Scott are spoken of as most excellent. kions. ou'i Extra qr . yesterday; 51 o'clock, P. M. 'OFFICIAL - DESPATCHES.

The miserable,. halting,f half way tpolicy Of the . Government in .the managamOt the Mexican War, was never more strikingl y . displayed than in the recent chimer of Stettin Boats at this port in convey the.troops now aniambling here to the seat. of of War. • The last contracts Were made with 'fast boats,' binding them to do nobusiness bj.thtt way, butlo. make the utmost despatch to New Orleans. The price stipulated r fortthis service was $3,000 to each boat, carrying two comipanies. This - price was considered by proprietors too low for profita ble business, and no candid man acquainted with the matter will pronounce) it otherwise. For our own , partwa thought Captain Birmiug ham needlessly stringent,i since the price paid for the same service, a few weeks before, was $4OOO each boat. But our vise rulers, in the instance of the sol diers now assembling here, have conceived a pro ject of economizing by elagagin4 boats With privilege to do business by ;the way, at the cost of 62300 each Never, so touch as at this moment, was there so urgent a necessity for expediting troops to the scene of action, when our gallant little forces de.. wand reinforcements and require aid. And this is the moment chosen tolsave a paltry thousand dollars by detaining the troops three, four, five, or six days after they might reach their destination by boats paid to curry them thither and do no other business. That the transaction is insulting to Capt. Bir mingham, the Quarter Master here, is an affair between Democrats, whiCh we must not resent.— , Butit is our affair that the Administration should 'sanction a dirty mercenary trick, which rises to 1 trifling with the fate of our.noble little army that requires instant aid. I • We find the foregoing article in a federal paper printed in this city, of Thursday, but being totally unacquainted with the facts respecting the charters of steamboats—made by the special agent of the Government, within a fekw days—to transport the troops to New Orleans, we content ourselves by saying that it certainly-; was not the intention of the Government that any unnecessary delay should occur, either in the departure of the troops from this point, or in their transportation to the Rio Grande, or that a " penny wise and pound foolish" principle could have goVerned the special agent ol the Government in his ibargaining for the trans ports. In regard to the last paragraph of the above ar lide, we would remark; that the President and Secretary of War, are both incapable of wantonly insulting either Capt. Birmingham or any other public officer. We shall not undertalte to give reasons, why a Special Agent was sent out here to attend to the business for which Capt Dirmingharn was lately appointed, by the Secretary of War, and which he is acknowled by all parties singularly well qualified to perform. ".For the same reason we oppose the Sub Treas• ury law. It draws a dividing line between the Government and•the people. It is no fiction to say, that it gives one lzind of currency to the one, and -another kind to the other. But the institu tions of the States are oVershadowed by the cen tral pOWer of the Fetletial Government. It sup poses4hat a few individual partizan officers in the service of the Administration, are safer agents than the sworn officers of a ttiank—than a corporation with a Board of VirectOrs, a .President, Cashier, all receiving power from the States, where they are, and alliesponsible to She States and the com munity for the manner in which they administer their trusts. The Sub Treasury law is less con : vcnient, More expcnsivea not as safe as the system in practice befote the Stib Treasury act became a law. It is a constant violation of that divine prayer, which'teaches us to pray, "lead us not into temp tatiori but deliver us (tom evil." for surely no scheme which the wit of man ever conceived of, was better calculated to: tempt men from virtue than that which places forever before their eyes and under their own control, the vast treasures of the Government. Defalcations are no new thing in our Government. The documents are full of them, and we have Achans, and Judases too, as of old, who have been seduced from virtue by their accursed thirst for gold." cc,' We copy the above from the Gazette. of Thursday. We were a little surprised to find that the new editor, who is a: stranger here, and unac quainted even with the opinions of bis own parti zans and supporters, should be so bold as to make an assault, upon the Independent Treasury Law. We think Mr. Brooks *ill find that the prejudice that once existed, in times of high excitement, against this most excellent law. has died out en tirely, in this section of country, at all events White we admire the;boldness of the editor, we marvel at the iMpudence . with which he puts forth such declarations as we find in the above extract. It will be observed that* brings forward no proof of the inefficiency of the Sub-Treasury, but con tents himself with assertions. We are entirely willing to go to the people on this issue: Sub-Treasury or State Bank Deposits; or if he likes it hetter:-.—Sub-Treasury or National Bank. What party was more loud ir. denunciations of the State Bank Deposit Scheme, temporarily resort ed to by the Democratic administration of Gen. Jackson, than the Whigs? And what act proved more injurious to the country? Does the editor of the Gazette advocate a resort to this exploded system again? To assume that individuals appointed by gov ernment, sworn and required to give ample securi ty, are not as safe as banks or bank officers, is pre posterous. Such is the assumption of Mr. Brooks and all the opponents of the Sub-Treasury. That there may be defalcations under the Sub. Treasury, we think possibk; thut disaster will fol low a State Bank DepOsite system is certain. "Os ars wisnylo way."—The Hon. DANIEL Wcarrin, who has been eagerly looking towards the Presidential mansion for the last twenty years, and is now farther from it than ever, has recently taken his departure from Boston, on a political pil _g,rirnage to the West. precise route of travel and his ultimate destination, are not yet fully known. We believe, hawever, that he intenl go ing through Virginia,: and after paying his re specie to that great little man, William C. Rives, will continue on to Cincinnati, where he will be publicly feasted, and Will make a bacchanalian speech of course, praising the Mexicans and high ly abusive towards the President.

LOCAL MATTERS. lIELIEF OF SCOTLAND The following was handed to us for publication in yesterday's issue, but was accidentally mislaid; We are gratified to find that the distresses of the people of Scotland are not forgotten in this land of plenty. We hope our citizens will be niggard - in their contributions: The executive committees for the Relief of Scotland, met in Dr. Elruce's office, on Thursday afternoon, April Ist. Mr. Bl.ckstock was ap pointed Treasurer, and George Darsie, Secretary. On motion, it .was resolved that a Committee of two citizens be appointed for each of the wards of the two , cities, and for the neighboring districts, tor the purpose of soliciting donations.

The subscribers to the bonds should all attend in person or by proxy. We have learnt that a plan will be submitted to the meeting, by one of the ' most generous contributors, which Will make the Hospital universally popular and insure its success beyond a peradventure. We are not at liberty to disclose what has been mentioned to us in regard to the project of the gentleman alluded to, but we advise all to attend the meeting. We are glad that Mr and Mrs. Walfack were last night greeted by a most excelent house— such an one as their merits deserve. They go from this city with the best wishes of the haven of the drama; having made hosts of friends by their matchless representations of some of the heaviest characters inghe books. We regard Mr. W. and his wife unsurpassed in the line to which they belong. It will be gratifying to our readers to hear that Mr. Murdoch has arrived and will appear to-night as Othello. He is a favorite in this city—no actor has more friends. Of course his engagement will be successful. The First of ApriL—The Police have been busy for two days past, in ejecting tenants from their habititations, or rather the habitations of their landlords. Some on account of non-pay ment of rent, and others for keeping disorderly houses. A large number of families are now eith er houseless or are quartered upon the liability of friends. For some, we can fell but little sympa thy; but there are others—people of good charac ter and industrious habits--who have been thrown out of homes, for whom we can not but feel deep- Ir sensible that injustice is done them by—.whom or what? We can find no fault with landlords; they live by the yearly incomes their property 'yields them. What a text is here for a National Reform Lec ture; and we pregame it will be commented upon and the evils of landlordism, as manifested on the First of April, villy portrayed to the public gaze. }Another company arrived yesterday from Carlisle. There is some difficulty about shipping the Troops, so that we do not know when they will depart for the south. The attempt of, the person who has been sent out here to pertorm the duties of the Quarter Master to be economical at the ex penses of the comfort of the soldiers, has met with decided opposition from the officers. Therhave protested against their companies going on the Germantown, which was to start to-day. This steamer will probably leave to-day, but we', think with not more than two companies. The., others will • leave soon. • - I We understand that the ageut sent out here by the Quarter Master's Department thinks that inasmuch as the soldiers do not go down the river for pleasure that it is not important-how they may ke entertained while'on board. He calculates on putting two,in a birtil, and about four hutflred on board one boat!! Is this right?

Tay-I lor's forces, between 4 and' 5,00, mostly volun- teers. The battle began on the glorious anniver sary of the birth of Washington, a fit day for the display of American patriotism and valor. The scene this bloody tight was et Buena rism, the'pstint upon which Gen. Taylor had fallen back trom 7 4gua Nacre, and is about seven miles from Saltilio. th'e Mexicans advanced upon him with great boldness, bravely led on by their best officers, vvere•met by our gallant volunteers with the cool firmness of our veteran soldiers. A fierce and long battle ensued, the Mexicans charging with their bayonets to the very muzzles of our artillery and receiving the'deadly and destructive fire of our guns with unflinching courage. . Our men gave not an inch, but maintained their position on the bloody field the whole day of the OJ2d, and on the; next day until the evening, when the Mixicans re. I tired to Agua Nueva. leaving their killed unburied and all their wounded, on t h e field where they fell. The killed and wounded on the Mexican side arc estimated at 4,960. Some of the Mexican officers' taken prisoners admit thnt their loss was at least 2,000. The American loss was about 700 killed and wounded Santa Anna; in 'his letter, which we publish from the 7:arnpico Seistind; admits that his army was cut up. That the victory was on the aide of Gen. Taylor is abundantly proved by Santa Anna's precipitate zetrtut eightecnoftWen-' ty miles to the rear. As to his trophies, we con sider that part of his letter as apochryphal, and shall wait for the particulars before we fully credit. This victory has been achieved great sacrifice on our part. The ardor of our volunteer officers led them into the hottest part of the fight, and con sequently the number of field officers killed and wounded is lamentably great - Every volunteer colonel but one was either killed or wounded. list of the officers who woe killed or tiviindcil, will be found in our correspondekce] The despatches of Gen. Taylor, it is supposed, have been intercepted by the enemy between Mon terey and Camargo. , It will gratify the numerous friends'of Colonel Morgan, of the Ohio Volunteers, to hear that he arrived safely at Monterey, having been reinforced by a detachment sent from Monterey to his assis• tance. This is the same officer who was reported to have been taken prisoner, with several compa vies of his regiment, near Cerralvo. Col. Curtis, of Ohio. with one company .(Capt. Hunter's) of the 2d IL S. Dragoons, his own reg- iment, one of Indiana volunteers, the Virginia Reg= iment, and some Texas Rangers, in all about 20(X.) men, was about to leave Camargo to attack Gen. Urrea, who is said to be about thirty mites south of that place, with an army of 4000 to 5000 men, principally rancheros. He is believed to have with him only 1500 regular troops. A great many; if not all of these rancheros, as soon as they hear of the discomfiture of Santa Anna's army, will dis perie, and the gallant Colonel will no doubt ob tain the victory. ' We learn from a passenger arrived last even. ing, that it was supppcised by many in Tampico, ' that if a bombardment should take place, the citi zens of Vera Cruz will leave the city. here was little doubt that there would be severe fighting at the Castle of San Juan de Ulna. From the Lest' sources of Information, we have the report that an attack was to have been made on Vera Cruz on or abotit the 23d of the present month. Among the passengers arrived last evening, we had the pleasure of meeting our fellow townsman, Capt. Alphonse Duperu. Capt. Gardner, of the brig Perfect, from Tam- pico, deserves all praise for the efforts made by him to have the mail he brought taken as soon as possible to the postoffice. Ther Perfect arrived about 11 o'clock, and in twenty minutes after, the bags were opened. but there was not asingle letter for hny paper in the city. The following letter and accompanying state ment we received by the schr. John Bell, Capt. Noyes. The John Bell arrived late last night, har ing left the Brazos on the loth inst., Cur loss a mong commissioned offm icehas been, us it vas at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, and Monterey, very severe. We find that 20 officers, of different grades, were killed, and 37 wounded. We give below a list of the officers killed and wounded : [Correspondence of the Delta."] BiI.I.ZOS ST.

The following, from the Tampico Sentinel, gives the Mexican acciiimt of the battle of Burria Vista, which, to our mind, is as conclusive proof of our victory as that which comes from Gen. Taylor's camp. Our city was thrown into:a great state of ex-1 citement yesterday by the receipt of news from San Louis Potosi,giving the partictilars of a bloody engagement between the American forces ,under Gen. Ta) lor and those of the Mexicans under Santa Anna, at a point called Buena Vista. As these de tails are from a Mexican journal, we, of course, have . to receive them as such, and give /hem just 1 so much credence as each individual may suppose them to be worth; making a proper allowance for the known disposition of this people to exaggerate everything, from the noble conflictoftwO courage ous armies to the alturernents of the Cock-Pit.— When the contents of the said paper.Wers promul gated first, there was such horror comingled With the recital, that one would have supposed; that -Alexander the Great was. again- at the bead of the Macedonians, carrying triumph and devastation wherever his army appeared, and there was such an air of grandeur thrown around the stratagems of the dignified apt canyiering Mexican chieftain, that we were carried-back to the golden days of Roman warriors. • rr. From all we were able to gather, in the excited state of the public mind, which, having - little to work upon, was inventing and conflicting with it self in every possible way, the accounts published in our paper of the Gth inst, are partly confirmed. In that number we gave The substance of a des patch from . Santa Anna, declaring his intention to give Gen. Taylor battle on the 31st. Gen. Taylor was then represented as being nt a place called Agua Nueva, (New Water) fortifying himself. We are now inclined to think this Was intended by the general as a rust to decoy Santa Anna into a regular Mending engagement; knowing that the point he bad selected was one that Santa Anna must pass, being the on'y good Water within .a great number of miles, which would be sufficient to supply the wants of so large a force as Gen. Santa Anna had then under his command; and as we have draWn this much from ,the probabilities attending this bloOdy encounter, we will draw further, and suppose it probable that. on arriving here, the' Mexican army, which had been fully prepatcd for the strife by starvation and thirst, caned all theirenergies into requisition, and hence the slaughter reported to have taken place on both sides—the one, a strugsde for food and drink; on the other, a natural display of courage and milita ry enthusiasm. The enemy, outnumbering our army about four, to one, and standing as it were upon his own it. ground. posse sing superior advantages in the way of interested ' lids in all parts of the co un try, to gether with cor ct knowledge of its geographical `and geological character, and many other. facts j calculated to favor him, is reduced to the necessity ,I of inventing subterfuges to account for an unpar. I donable want of success, amounting, in a ,word to defeat. This is humiliating indeed. Twenty to twenty two thousand men against four or five thousand, with all the attendingfavorable circum -1 stances, and yet that the larger force should ac knOwledge the necessity of falling back, after kss than two days' battle, is almost incrediblewe would be inclined to think the despatches of Santa Anna a forgery, as far as this acknowledgment goes, did we not find it in one of the prints under the patronage of his government. But here lathe precious document.--let it speak its own sharrie for the present: . CsAte, (near Buena Vista.) Feb. 23, 1847. Eraneat Sir—After two days of battle, in which the enemy, with a force of 8 to 9000 men, and :26 pieces of artillery, lost five of his positions, three pieces of artillery and two flags,l have de. termined to go back to :Auga Nueva to provide myself with provisions, not having a single biscuit or grain of rice left. Thanks to the position oc 7 copied by the enemy, he has not been .couipletely beaten, out he left on the field about 200 U dead.— Both armies have been cut to pieces, but the tro phies of war will give you an idea on which side has been the advantage. We have struggled with: hunger and thirst during forty ho as, and if We can provide ourselves with provisio , we will go again to charge the enemy. The Idiers under my command have done their dot and covered the honor of the :%lexican nation_ ttb glory. The enemy has seen that neither his advantageous po-• sitions, nor the broken nature of the ground, nor the rigor of the season, (for it hai been raining during the action.) could prevent .the 'terrible charge with the bayonet Which deft im terrified. SANTA ANNA: In addition_to the above, we find in the same paper a private letter from an officer in the /Mexi can army, giving sortie facts which, when contrast ed, have something-of the "sublime_ and , ridicu lous " order mingled with the horrible. At first he states that the Mexican, army were 'then en camped upon the &rune ground which they had previously occupied i froth. which We infer that they had been driven from it and-had been able to recover, it, either from tho fan that the Atnerican forces had chosen some other`camping ground,. or that they generously permitted. them to remain where, by the fortune - of the day,.they found them selves at the . close of the contest. . He also states that the loss of the Mexicans was about 1000 mem and that their disposition to disband was , so great that Santa Anna was compelledto return to Akita Nueva, from-which we are led 'to suppose, ae'fiecare stated, that Gen, Taylor_neyer intended tamalre,a deeided.aland at thier.point t :but *anti= fested a iluch a disposition only, to draw Hit..enemy into a fight atal:thereliy greatly weakeri bls.foreea A.
