Col. Kinney arrived there two dace previous direct from Victoria with, despatches froccvcen. Taylor to Gen. Shields to suspend operations for die pres ent.. He hail - entered Victoria With. Gen, Quit man on the 9th. G4i. Quinine) in histadvance drove the Mexicans before hinnfor.ihirTy-or folly miles before entering Victoria'. The `Mexicans contested everi , inch of ground and were very reluc tant to'give, up the'place, but they evacuated it, from one side, as Gen. Quitman with his 'force' was entering the other. It was impossible to pui me the fugitives, as Gen: Q ' . has no cavalry. Cot. Kinney parted with Gen. Taylor at Monte Morales and pushed on with Quitman's brigade to Victoria and thence to Tampico: There was no reason to suppose that General's ' Worth and Butle'r;had moved from Saltillo,thobgh it was so reported: ,It is believed Altai the main Mexican army was not far off frum that place, though the Mexican soldiers seen in theneiglthor hood are now supposed to have been in the ad 'anced parties of some 1500 at 2000 men kept in a position on this side of the .desert ;between Saltrllo and San Leuisi Potosi to destroy the wa ter tanks in ease the ,American, army should move forward in force upon San Louis. This precludes the idea of any serious attack upon Gen Worth or Gen. Wool: as the object of the' Mexicans seems only to keep 'watch . on the movements of cur forces and to 'retreat immedianly upon an ad-, 'tvance in order to Cut:, off the supplies Of water. On the first Of January, Gen.. Taylor sen: for ward Col. May With 'a• detechnient of dragoon, to examine the mountaio.pass between Monte Morales and Labraderee. 'On his return he -took another pass leading to Linares,' and was attacked by a large body of the enemy: His' rear guard waseut off by rolling stones frOm the overhang ing heights into• . the pass, which was scarcely wide enough - for a single horsemen" to ride through. • , 1 - • $1,497.823 06 , Cot. May,: with Characteristic bravery-and de. cission, managed to force his way through the pass with thO Main lbody of ,his, command, and reached a spot where they were,thile to dismount' and return to the &decor of their Cornpaniona of th 3 rear guard. But they arrived too late as the enemy !lad retreated! carrying off their prisoners. At ode time, while .in the gorge of the pass the dragoons were almost nt the mercy_ of the.enernx, 'and would have Suffered severely'' had the latter discharged' their ,pitices with accuracy from the position.,tvhich they Occupied, which, was almost 'directly over the heads of our troops. Cul. Al'ay's loss was not ascertained, or' whether he had any inert killed. ~ 3,234 76 There can be no doubt that Gen.

The object of this movement was supposed to be to open a communication' wilh Gen.

Shields may have the gond fortune to engage. ~The - forCe remain ing in Tampico for its' protection amounted to, 950 rron. The TaMpice . market is amply supplied with American merchandizo. Col.

The New Fork fxpresa gives the follow ing 'explanation of the publication of Gen. .fay for's letter,,which it is admitted was. addressed to .Gen. Gaines, and by his consent given to the public: • When in Washington, some days since, we aicerinined beyond all question, that the Admin istration was intrigueing for the . overehrpw OtGen. Taylor, and that in nearly all Melr political cir cles; he was aspersed in some form or other. To this malignant, and unaccountable malignant dis positiOn, Mr. Ficklin, of Illinois. first gave public utterance on the floor of the House. but; at an eallie4period than was designed by the PliP/111C8 - of the Hero of Monterey. and of Palo Alto.. The intrigue began last autumn, and it was on intrigue to displace what Mr. Ficklin called a ..1V hig Ge i •tierar—solely because he was .n General, imbued with, and'.educaled in Whig Principles. 'As ant Administration had pot the courage to displace Gen. Tay loc„ of 'whose splendid achievements it was becoining jealous, and fearful, lest they/ should eclipse their more liumble•doinga in the eves of ale Public! Mr.. Polk took to his coon- 'ells Mr. Benton. When it we'll resplved to rec.oni mend the appointment of a Vice Roy; or. Lieut. Genera which place,,lllr. Benton was to fill. In this way Gen. Taylor at first was to ha superseded the Administration had not even.the cour age to take this responsibility. Subsequently tt was agreed that Gen. Scott, a Whig General, should be_sent out to supersede Gen t , Taylor,-ano ther Whig General, when, soon after, Mr; 'ton should be sent out as Vice Ray over both: dirt' this way the conduct of the war woad° he taken out-of the old hands of the Army, and put in the ,hatids of the Toliticians. Thus, the magnanimi ty for which the Administration Ras credited in sending,put Gen. Scott, turns out to 'be only' a miserable intrigue to use him to supersede Gen. Taylor, in order eiAseqn'ently to supersede both by Mr, Benton. Becoming aware of these intrigues among ,the politicians resting at their' ease in Washington, to injureithe gallant old .Hero, who has immorta lized himself on the bloodY fields -of the Rio Grande,:and on the-.heights of the Sierra,Madre, and whose good conduct has rescued the Admin istration from the'elisgrace its own measures al ready prepared for it, we felt it our duty to obtain, and to publish the simple and artless defence he had made of himself in a private letter to a friend; and without reference to publication., It was the military defence one soldier, was making of him self to another, and it was but • right that' the country should see it. Although he (Gen. Tay lor).had done wonders withlhis means, yet; as the Administration were supplanting' him, ostensibly for not doing more, it Was but fair the country should see why no more could be-dene. General Taylor himself, desirous- only of 'heing recalled. in order to attend to his now suffering private of. fairs, unambitious of place or horror, would never have taken the trouble to make any publiedefence of himselt ; but when there was a defencepf him, in the hands of another soldier, scarred by wounds, it was but natural that that defence should,appear in the public prints. In the rigid - military elespo tisms of Europe, such a publication may tie a breach 9f military etiquette; but in a Republican country like ours, it is hard if not impossible, to Suppress discussion, and, therefore, sueh inform!= tion as may enlighten'Whatever discussion is go ing -on. • Melvin.
