• I
The .eommanding General has'the grateful task
of `congratulating the troops upon`the. brilliant
success which attended-their aims in the contliet
of the 22d and 23d. Confident in their superiori
ty of' numbers,' and stimulated by the presence' of
a distiriguishedieader,the Mexican troops were yet
repulied in every effort to force our lines, and final
ly.;Withdrew, with immense loss, from the field.'
The General would express his obligations, to
the officers and men engaged, for the cordial Sup
port Which they rendered throughout the action;
it will be his highest pride to bring to the notice
of the Sovernment 'the conspicuous gallantry of
Tarticular officers and corps, whose unwavering
steadinets more than once , saved the fortunes of
the day.
He would also express his high satisfaction with
the conduct of a email command left to hold Sal
tulip; though not so seriously engaged as their
comrades, their services were very important kind,
-efficiently rendered. While bestowing this just
tribute to the good conduct of the troops, the Gene-I
riddeeply regrets' to say that there were a few'ex
ceptions, O.He trusts that those who yeti inglori
ously- from Buena Vista, and went to Saitillo,
will seek an opportunity to retrieve their reputa
. tion,-and to emulate the bravery of their comrades,
who bore the brunt of the battle, and sustained,
against fearful odds, the honor of the flag. The
exultation of success is checked by the heavy sac
rifice of life which it has cost, embracing many
officers of high rank anti high merit, while 'the
sympathies of a grateful country will be given to
the bereaved families and friends of those who no
bly fell; their illustrious example will remaid for
the benefit and admiration - of the army.

lished by us last week, calculated that the money
would not all be wanted until the Ist of 'February
next which would require something less than
two millions of dollars of the loan to be paid
monthly; so that the 'Same specie which paid an
instalment would be disbursed and in circulation to'
afford the means for paying succeeding instalments
from time to time. By calling in the loan in this
way-which we are-assured will be Alone—whilst
a large sum in interest will be saved to the goy.
ernment, no heavy calls will be made for specie at
any one time, and the business of the country will
be undisturbed.
The bids of fifty-eight millions for this loan, de
monstrate the just confidence of the people - in their
own government, and the ample resources .and
wealth of the country. No doubt this auspicious
result was aided by the recent glorious victories
at Buena Vista and Vera Cruz tinder our heroic
laader.s, Taylor and Scott; but the successful rel
stilt of the tariff of 1846 which, it is demonstrated,
will yield an amino/ menage of thirty millions of
dollars, and the new riiihtary contributions under
the new Mexican tariff, also contributed to swell
the bids.
. We understand that the custom house at Vera
Cruz is a large and excellent building, and erethis!
month is out, our brave officers will he collecting!

of alt other countries would. under the law of na

ter a peace. what an inducement it afrards to ear
ry into Mexico a large supply, not merely. to sell
during the war, but which, after a peace, would!
even be still more valuable, especially if Mexico!
!should then renew her old prohibitory and protec- i
rive tariff? Arid what an inducement does this,
furnish to Mgxico to consent -to an 'early peace;
tor, if she does not, we may not only break down
her revenue from duties during the war, but for
