We lay bef our readers in advance of our
regular publican - o . the glorious tidings from the
Army; brought by the schooner John sell. Our
reporter left the vessel in the river, and come up
to town by express with the news. .
The following account was prepared for us by
an officer of the army. je may be relied upon.—
We publish also Gen. Santa Anna's account or
the battle—from which it will be seen that he has
suffered a .defeat: though he covers up his retreat'
with a flourish of words. 'lt will be seen that vie,
tory has been won at a sacrifice of many brave
Men.
Dr. Turner, of the U. S. A. who arrived 'at
Matamoros on the 9th - inst., from Monterey, loot'
the glorious intelligence of another brilliant 'vic
tory over,the Mexican army. The scene of ac
tion was at Buena •Vitits, about six miles from
•: • - •
all the quartermaster's nod 'stores
in depot. The parapet is formed of barrels of
.damaged- commissary stores, with sand bags at
the superb.r slope.
The send . .krom a. ditch has been thrown up
against the barrier, and forms the exterior ,slope.
The ornament of the first consists of four pieces
of artillery:Awn twelve and two six pounders, in
Inirbette, which sweep the . foot :of and cross three
firewupon,the level plain over which the enemy
would be compelled to advance:and about 300
muskets to line the, parapet. This was thrown
up when an attack was - daily expected.
Nothing having reaawd us from
.Gen. Myter
for several days, we believed he has surrendered.
as was reported. We give some credit to the ru
mor of an adVance of a I irge , body of the enemy
upon our depot.
After waiting three or,
.four days anxiously ex
pecting the approach of the enemy, we received
the glorious news above, understood,•of course,
that the hattle4, of Brazos Santiago, was gm . '
and when I soiled the artillery of Port Harney, in•
stead of mowing (linen the Mexicans, was pealing
forth a salute it, honin of Old Rough and Ready,

!. SANTA ANNA'S ACCOUNT.
We annei Santa Anna's "own account of the
actions of Ettena Vista, as translated for: the Tam
pip; Sentinel—we have• the original Spanish ael.
count in our possession.
CAMP BEAR LIVEN° VISTA, Feb. 23, 1817.
Excellent Sir ;—After two days' battle, in which
the enemy, with a force of eight thousand to nine
thousand men, and twenty-five pieces. of artillery,'
lost five of his positions, three pieces - of artillery ,
and two flags. I have determined to' go back to
Agua Nueva to provide myself with prdvisions,
not having a single biscuit ur a grain of rice left.
Thanks to the - position occupied by the enemy, he
left on the field 2000 dead. Both , armies have
been cut' to pieces. but the trophies of- war will
• giveyou an idea on which side has beets he ad
vantage.
We ha've strug 4 led with hunger and thirst du
ring forty hours, and if we can provide ourselVes
with provisions, we will go again and charge. the.
enemy.' The soldiers under my summand have
done their duty. arePcoVered the honor of the Mex
ican nation -with glory. The enemy his ',seen
that neither the advantage of position, nor the bro.'
ken nature of the gruun'l, nor the rigor of the sea- I
son—far it has bern raining, during the action--
could prevent the terrible charge of the bayonet
which left him terrified." _

article. *.The editors were rgat so well informed in
regard to events et Bueno Vista as we are bete,'
but they leave all that - out alter Santa Anna.

ADDITIONAL Psavrtentstas---On the 22,3
Santa Anna began tn'l.attlo by various manceu
vres. attempting to outflank and terrify Old Rough
and Ready. On that day the battle was confined
to skivmishing and cannonading, without touch
effect on either side.
• In the mean time, Santa Anna had Bent a large
force to Taylor's rear,. but our artillery opened
upon them with great effect, and they were soon
compel;ed to withdraw. On the 23d, the battle
commenced in real earnest, and raged with great
violence during the vhole day.
• The Americans did not wait to be attacked,.
but with the most daring impunity charged on

which rernoyed' an

to the government for the chareeter and conduct
of that command—and it `might aa well be jmisti- -
fied in an officer senior in command to give orders
to a guard, on duty, without passing that order ,
through the officer of i that guard,.4a that the De.

We had hyped that the canvass fur the election

conducted, by the common consent of both par
ties, with same little degree of propriety end de
cenCy ; that it would be kept free from hitter per

a struggle for the' supremacy of antagonist prin
ciples, 'rather than a contest. fir the mere success_
of candidates. 110 'his it, seems we are to he dis
appointed. The larder() press is only in its ele

• There is ton much of this reckless and wanton
vilification of gond mefia names by
