Q*ia,«oom they abtued for not marching to the
conflict, accusing them of want of deesann, and
•waning. that the position of the army at San
Luis was more threatening to oar liberties then to
1 the enemy. In the dobs of that Capital they la
bored with aeddoity to make the Army tbeinstru
meet of a revolt; but l frustrated their intrig ace
by timely, steps. There wax one writer who had
the audacity to intimate that I was in. collation
with the enemy. Yes, I, to whom they may at
tribute error*, but whose whole previous course
has shown tiro moat elevated patriotism! Traitors
are they who eeek not only to Induce but by
their detraction of the army to .unnerve its vigor
for the service of the country,
i ll mems as if a fatality directs the destinies ol
this nation, and interdicts a unanimity of the pab-
' lie will for ita defence; end from this feta] blind
*» Deae,th» moment when everytheart and every as*
ptraiion eboold be directed to one the
very juncture whendivisionand distrustare die
saminated. Behold me, then, compelled by every
drcuraiunce to change ay plane. Desertion has
already commenced to a shamefal, degree; and I
am fully pereoaded that if the eeardty should
& BUaor,the army woald be dishonorably (altered
away. I therefore resolvsd (hat, if annihilated, it.
. should bewhh'glory. Having no supplies, I, to
obtain them compromiUed my private fortune,
and the credit .of myself and,my friend*. All this
procured me the earn of one hnodrpd and eigthy
thousand dotlars, with which I was able to famish
. the oeedful to tfie artpy for twelve days.. I knew
well the country we had to cross, and the nectssj
ty there would be for carrying provigioo*; and I
aympicbixed in antidpatfon with tharaoldier for
' what he woehleodure from, the.rigor of.the sea

The army, moved irom Ban Lois bjibrigades,
r>'hi to render available the scanty monrcea
efftdrd by the counirr we were to cross. The
Wecoossted o! 13.433 infantry, divided into
38 battalions, 4338 cavalry, in 89 aqdadroot;
and a train of artillery, of three 34«poandere,
three 8 poaoders, fi»e' l*poanideri,fi»e 8-pooriJ
er*, and a eeven-inch howitxer, all served by
418 ariillryman—the total being 18,185 men—
Of this force there remained behind, to gam-
fertile work* at San Lais, and others which
I' slotted to towns on the roots; as also small*
* and; only reserve of aaooitioo;ia brigade of in
- Jontrr, of two btttaUons under Geo. Don Cirt
aco Vasques, which remained as a eorps of ro
serve in Mstebmla,'and of observation opcm Tola,
as ato a brigade of cavalry, coder Geo. Doo
Jo* Circa,' The latter l woe intended to pass
Tals,sod movs through Tamantiptfl to the neigh
boehood of Monterey, so as to call ths enemy's
aUeatiqo to that quarter.
The point of concentration (at the brigade*
ought necessarily to be near this pises, so that ia
the region thro* which they had to move many
troops might notbe thrown together. I therefore
6c*d,on the -of E camsdoa for that
pnot it beiag as I calculated the last stage bat
one of my auietu' I there bsld a review o C tbs
s«my, which bed already lost a thousand men by
slcfcuew and desertion. The former was ceased
bv the ecuariawa and had quality of food, and
stdl more of water, which was brae.tab as well
ss sc "C-, *• sis»by s-sowmcoßßs and tba exposure
of the trd'pa w'O bed always to baia bivouac,

■* to oatyeod t> e march two days, till the weather
became mote vvttieii; for the cold hod already
, ca used the death uf eeV«rsl then and horses, and
/ ] ff-.lt b rand iy every means to dlmiosh the losses
wt V'H iocarrtag. These hardships will account
fur the nomb r of deeertioni' which occurred op
to our. ainvol at Eacarntcwo, dad which - after
- wards even increased. It most also be remember
ed, that alowt the Whole army hod been recently
firmed and* as is well known, of mea taken fay

-_ . JfOsya. The Americans did not know the pre
cies point on which our much wax directed: for
though they exchanged same shots with our sd,
▼anes ln Eacarnsciun, and had frequent small
tkbmishes with us in the above passes, they eup*
poesd oar troops to be scouting parties of the fir*t
brigade of cavalry, under Doo Jose V. Minon,
. whom Iliad advanced ufar aa the h*ri*T?da of
. Petrel. These were the Impressions when I mads
.* toy dispositions.
It wa* my. intention to plaee my forces between
/the. enrtny and Saltillo, sots to oblige Mm to
• fight under the disadvantage of haviog his com
munication cot of£*or» if be woold , not leave
his works, to enable mo to besiege biin in Agna
T.l Noeva. Thie plan might be earned oat in three
! d'flererit ways. On# was ky marching 20 Issgues
by the direct rood -sootherby moviog to the right
by la Hedtondo/T* aa to occupy Buena Vista—
end .the third by -yaoving to the left' by la PunU
deSsott Elens, no. aa to occupy the hacienda of
la Banqaerit, and thereafter the rood to Saltillo.—
The two last movements wereat this time im>
. practicable,f>r ifary would either of them require
three or four day* march, while we were without
proyiriorw, firage or water.. I therefore resolved
to -opera's by the direct road, force the positions,
‘ and, afur pawing the lost defile, make a diversion
by the left and occupy the mnebero of Encantads,
with the view of obtaining water, none of which
'.was lobe had for more than eighteen leagues.—
AUthU was favored by the enemy's ignorance of
our march} but mlsfjitunf stiinollowtd os. A
- deserter from tht regiment of Coracera% a native
of Baliltio, named Freneueo Valdes; passed over

I reeonnoitcred the position and «itastfon fo
the enemy, and ordered tbo Director of Engineers

At this Interval [ observed that the enemy hr )
neglected to occupy a heighten the tell dink; and
without loaiag a moment 1 ordered Gen. Amps*

Gen. Mora y Vilomii, u. cjtij liction c.iih the

Corona, should find a position for a batterr of 1 (5
poaodera, to be auataind by the regiment of engi
neers. Two other batteries, of 12 and 8 p ,u.i
dert, were located by me. The cavalry co.nrr.iiJ
•d by Gen* Juvery, were placed on the right of
of our’rear.and on our left fUnk. The
of humrs was aiao poatrd in? (ho rear, and on Mi *
Sank aforesaid was a height which I ordered the
battalion of Leon to occupy. Tho general park
•was in the rear, covered by the brigade of Geo.
Andrade, and between this park and the lir.ei
of battle I look my position'
The making of these disposition*, as may be
supposed, occupied some time, for the troops s'-ri
.red at their positions after a march of miu : than
twenty league*. It waa thereforo not an boar for
combat, and the army lay oa its arm*. Tuc en
emy, however, so toon as he perceived ihit we
had occnpied the height that flanked hi* It fr an 1
, our right, detached two bUttalions to dididgc u* (

ding to the report of the prisoner*. - Our* was •
much less, as we had the advantage of the ground. |
At dawn on the 22d I mounted my horse; tbs

acd was reedy to receive us. I ob»errad hot one-1
differeoee.whteh was that on his right, and at some ‘
distance from his position, be hod formed t «ro bo-, j
dies of Infantry with a battery of four piece*, as j
if with the intent of threatening our left

■stration, for he would never bare left in hi* tear j
the difficult groand which gave strength i-> that 1
position; being the' web of impavasblo ravine* |.<» J
fore referred tc. {•1, therefore, gave no itinuign !
to th!a disposition of hit forces, and resolved to ;
move mine by the right. With this intention 1 i
advanced the divisions of Gen. Lombudini ?nd |
Gan. Pacheco in that direction. I nrdeieri
Don Manuel-Micbeltorena to plant the battery of 1
eight poundere on our right fitok. so as to. take !
obliquely the enemy*# line, and to re main within*- ;
etaffi of which be was chief, and awut ray oiJp'.
I directed that Gen. Ampudta, wiih.tbe r<.<ht bn- ,
gade, should charge by our left Hick on lh» *-nr- i
my'a right, and that Gen. Moray Yiifomil.should
form a column of stuck, composrri of the H>>gi.

Brent Gen. Don ioee Maria Onega. '
So soon as the enemy perceived our movements i
he commenced the action on all point*, attacked 1
.oar troops w?Pi intrepidity, and raainuinrd th- ,
conflict with great vigor. Our'mtn received .them 1
with proper energy, driving back aid following up
lb* assailants. At this time my Horse »»«
bled by e giape ahol.and it won some time li-I-ji.-*
I could mount soother. A* the enemy had yiei- 1
ded groQRd,I ordered the Cavalry to advance and |
charge,' which was dooe with vigor. Suiubie i
orders had been sent to the Generals of Division '
.and Brigade,'among the rest to Gem Don Ancei j
Guzman; but though the officer* and j
with.greatresolution,it was impo*«ib!e ti over.*
come the difficulties of the ground; and; after a
struggle which did ti era honor, they w etc oMi’- il !
td.faU back to their position*. After ration* al- j
tarnations the exoe occarted with the Infantry. * ■
The which commenced at sevcif in the I
naming wav prolonged far many hour/, o u lo,s 1
evenr moment accamutating. Many officers and
soldiers had already been killed, and a namber ol
commanders and dittinguithed officers woended,
among whom ‘wore Gen. Lombardini, l,ieut.

Foreign Markets.
1| The steamer Cambria brings the prospect of a
: good harvest in England, the effect of which has
j. been to reduce prices in. Grain, more than the
I' targe importation from Europe and the East.
There have been great fiaciaatioos in the corn
market for two weeks past and the article bos re
ceded to quotations. 1
Bowed Cotton 6Jd to 6jd, Orleans 6jd to 7id.
At Liverpool on the 26th of March, the declining
tendency of Breadstuff* infused a vigorous feeling
into the Cotton market. The manufacturers were
in much better spirits and came forward freely.
The business done was participated in by both
the Trade and purchasers ou speculation.
Exporters were in the market and took a fail
amount of tbe_better qualities-tf Orleans.
The animated feeling on Ibo part of buyers
soon caused an advance and prices for alt descrip
tions went up, full i penny, while on the great
balk lull; in the market an advance of fully jd
was claimed.
The decline <mi the various descriptions of food
duririg | the past month has been as follows
On Indian com twenty eight shillings per ton.
On Ryu four shillings per quarter.
On Rye-Flour, six shilling* to eight shillings
per barrel.
On Sack Flour, 21 lo 3o shillings per 480 lb*;
and on 11. 8. Floor 10 shillings per barrel.
Within a few days a better feeling and rear,
tion has prevailed, and an improvement of 2 shil
lings per barrel on Flour took place.
On Corn Meal 5« per 4SI) lbs and 2 abiitings on
the bid.
The trade had generally acquired much more
firaraew and very heavy transaction* took place
at the price* carrent fir Flour, which were'**

The market at this date showed much' buoyan
cy compared with the previous depression of feel
ing. The trade were firmer in their demands.—-
.Bdyera of wheat were in the market at fall prices
Flour bad readier sales at a alight amendment.
Indian corn was in request 52e per 480 lbs.

ADDITIONAL BT THX STKAXK*.
-The news brought by the steamer Cambria, and
the Belfast packet so far os it relates to Flour and
Brcadstuffs generally has been received la this ci
ty, and I* of much importance.
■ The arrivals of all descriptions in the-*porta
: of England and IreUndhad been immense, and
the effect on the markets was to cause a rapid
and unprecedented decline, considering the space
of time elapsed. More than forty vessels bod ar
rived with provisions or groin in two week*. .
The extreme price* of Flour were 31* to 36s
fid per bbl, Philadelphia 36s lo 36s Cd, New Or
leans 34»35«. •
« ’ Of Indian Corn sales at fifty two shillings per
.480 Km.
The dec'iae ia Breadstuff* hid on important
influence cn cotton, for which an active demand
sprung up end prices advanced 1 a j d. per lb.
Not a word has been heard in regard to Pro.
vis-ions—we cannot bulioi'er that ibey have al
so declined to Sira's extent.
The de. line in Corn from the date of the Wm-
Kenedy's sailing, was 4*. more. The Corn mar
kets appear to havo given way noon after the 2Gth
March.
„It is unnecessary' to say what iho effect must
be on this side. Prices must give way. The re
cent large decline in freights materially, lessens the
fall on the other side, bat still do not cover it, ey
penally on Cora. The 1 Eutrrn markets will be
of great interest for some, time, and oor vigilant
and reliable correspondents will keep us informed
of them. The firat impression will he a panic, bn
ifier tbit prices will rally somewhat.

th«t following remarks in relstloo to war: “The
thirst of renown sometimes insinuates itself into
our councils under the hypocritical garb of nation*
al honor. It dwells on imaginary sag*
gests bsish and abusive language, and people go
on from one time to aoother till they pot an end
to.the lives of halt a million of men. The call for
war proceeds generally from those who have no
active sbare'in its toils, as ministers, women, and
the louugtDg population town. I said
one day in Vienna,in I7le,in a company which
was very elsmorous for a war, I wish that each of
the great men and great women present was or
dered by the Emperor to contribute at the rate of
four thousand duckets a bead to tbs charge*of
the war, and that the other fine gentlemen among
ue were made to lake the field forthwith in per*
son. A military man becomes so tick of bloody
scenes in war, at peace be is averse to re-com
mence them. I wish that the first minister who
is called on to decide on peace or war had only
seen actual service. What pains would he not
take to seek in meditation and compromise the
means of avoiding the effusion of so much blood 1
