Seven hundred eoldiera had met nearly Ihrce timea their number, and came off victorious. Six hundred and thirty men were left dead on the field t among them were one officer, four colonels, two lieutenant colonels, seven cap tains and twelve lieutenants. Multitude! had permhed in the morass and bayous. Of the "rviving, npwsrds of two hundred and eighty were wounded, and there were nearly eifht hundred prisoners. Only aeven men uero known lo have eacnped from the fie. And yet, incredible as it may seem, tliia bloody en gagement hod coat the Texan the lives of only seven men, and less than thirty had been wounded. It waa incredible, and when the CnmmanrUe in .l.;f - - nrAk Woming, he asked Are we really victors, or is it only my drram V At 10 o'clock the next morning, Cen, Hous ton sent detachment to bury those who had fallen in battle, but decomposition hid taken place bo rapidly, the troops returned and repor ted they could not rxecute his order! This . .. "'"""'""ry circumstance excited the greatest surprise, and the Mexican prisoners accounted fur it by reaolvin; it like the defeat of the pre vioua day, into 1 'inelipnent blast of destiny.'

The man sprang to hia feot.and apparently without the slightest surprise, looked his captor straight in the face. He wasdieguiscd Ins miserable rustic drees. He wore a skin cap, a round jacket, and panta loons of blue domestic cotton, and a pair of coarse shoe!. Rut his face and hs mnnners, bespoke loo plainly, that he belonged to a dif ferent close than Ins garb betoken ; and undi r neath hia coarse riisgtthe, Sylvester saw that he wore a shirt o' ti e finest linen cambric. You are efficer, I percieve, sir,' said tbe librae man, raising rap politely. 'Nil, soldier,' he repl.cd, drawing out a letter addressed lo Almonte. When he saw there was no hope of ei-cnpe, he inquired for Gen. Houston, By this time, Sylvester had been joined by several of his com rades and mounting his pn-oner behind him, j they rode otT together on tl.e some horse lo ennp, several miles distant. As ho rode by tho Mexican prisoners, they exe!aimed with the greatest surprise, as they lifted their caps, 'FA President: In a single moment the new a spread through the camp that Gen. Stnta Anna was a prisoner and Ihe Dictator was taken by Houston. The general waa lying cm the ground, in consequence of his wound, had now fallen into a do re. San ta Anna raine up behind him and look hia hand Houston rouaed himtelf,and turning over gated up in the face of the Mexican when he extend ed hia left rm, and laying his right on his heart, said 'I am Gen. Antonio Ip z ile Santa Anna, President of Ihe Mexican Republic, and I claim lo be your prisoner of war. Houston wived his hand tns box, for it waa the only s at in the camp, and askrd his prison ers lo bo seated ; and then sent for Almonte, who spoke English perfectly, requesting him '.o act a! interpreter. Almonte approached his captive general with evident respect snd grief, and the following converaation took place between the two com manders j Houston in the meantime lying on the ground, resting on hia elbow. Great pain! hive been taken to git as nearly ss possible the exact words osed by the speakers, and those who were present'! the interview have inaur- ed os that til here related they do remember, nd they recollect nothing e'se of importance, Santi Anns, (after embracing Almoote end recover ing perfectly from hie emberrasment,) rose, end advancing with the eirof one born to command, said to Gen.

You must be aware that I was just i j fied in my courso by the uangea of war. I had summoned aurrender, and they refused. The place was then taken by etorm, and the usages of warjuatified the BlauKhter of Hie vanquished. U. That waa the case once, but it ia now obsolete. Such usages among civilized nations have yielded to the influences of humanity. S A. However this may be, I was acting under the orders of my government. If.

A I have orders, Gen Houston, from my Government, commanding nie to extinninati! every manfniind in srms in ft.n n...i, r 1 exas, and treat all such aa pirates ; lor they have no government, and are fighting under no recognised Msg. This will account fur the po sitive orders of my government. II. So fur aa the first point is concerned, the Texnn flatter themselves they have a Govern ment already, and. thry w ill probably be able to make a flsg. But if you feel excused for your conduct at San Antonio, you have not the tame excuse fir the massacre of Col. Fannin's com mniirj. They capitulated on terms proffered by your General. And yet after the capitulation, they were all perfidiously massacred, without the privilege of even dying with arms in their hands. Thor-e who were present say thai when Houston rame lo spak of I lie Goliad Irsgedy, it sermod impossible for him to restrain his in dignation. His ryes flushed like a wild beast's and in hit gigantic rflort to curb his wrath, cold sweat ran eft from his brows in streams. S. A. I declare to you, General, (liying his cation. II. I know, General, that the men had cap itulated. S. A. Then I was ignorant of it. And after your asseveration I should not have a ahadow of doubt, if it were not that Gen. Urrea had no authority whatever to recieve their capitula fioii. And if the day ever conies that I can get Urrea into my hands, I will execute him for his duplicity in not giving me information of the fact. Here the conversation was suspended for a while, and Santa Anno requested a small piece of opium. It was ordered by Houston, who asktd if he would desire his marquee and lug gage, and the attendances of his aids and ser vants. Santa Anna thanked him very politely, and raid 'it would make him very happy since they were proflered by his captor.' While the order waa being given, Almonte manifested a disposition toconlinue the conver sion with Houston. After remarking lo Ihe Texan General that fotlune indeed favored him 1 he asked him why he bad not attacked the Mex- I icans the Aral day the armies met. ! 'You had reason to suppose we should be reinforced. And yet if you had risked a battle thai day you would hnve another story to tell perhaps, for our men were then ready to fijM. snd to anxous tor battle to come on that we could hardly keep th- in in their ranks. Why did you wait till the next morning. General.' Well. replied Houston, 'I see I waa riht, I knew thnl you expected I should bring on the battle that day, and were consequently pre pared for it. Now if I must he questioned hy an inferior officer in the preset ce vf his Gener al, I will say that was just Ihe reason why I did not fight; and besides, I thought thete was no use in having two bites at one cherry. Alter kiiiia remarks of Almonte, which irri tated Houston, and which, in tho opinion of ul! who heard it, ill-be titled the occasion, he said You have come a great way to give us a greatdeal of trouble- and you have made the tacrfico of the livts of a great unny brave nun neeesaary.' Oh,' flippantry, replied Almonte, 'what are six or eight h'ltidred men And from all ac counts, only a half i dt ten of your brave men have fallen.' Hmiaton replied We eatinmte the lives of our men, I per- cieve, somewhat higher than you do,' and gave hitn a look which seemed to say 'taunt me again and you don't live an hour.' Almonte very politely changed hia tone. 'You talk about reinforcements, sir,' said Houston, raising himself up, 'it matters nut how msny reinforcement! you have, sir, you never can eonouer freeman.' And taking from his pocket an ear of dry corn which he had cirried for four dsys, only a part of it being consumed, hebeld it up and said, 'Sir.doyoo erer expect to conquer men who fight for freedom whose General can march four dsye with one eat of corn for bie rational The exhibition of tbe ear of eoro stirred op ill the entbus'usm of the Texan soidiers, and thsy gathered around their General, nd eoted --J.liSI ...

It is also said that in onofhis despatches that ?r .,0 ,hprfr?-.We toJW .nMi, til turn and plant corn.' Tho soldiers distributed their corn, and it now waves over a thou-and green fields of the Republic. Santa Anna had becomp interested in the conversation, and Almonte related to him what bad been said. The Mexican General sermcd to be tnnsported with rage, and he cursed Al monte for losing the battle. He was mortified beyond messure, to think that his large srmy, perfectly armed and munitioned, with officers whose camp wsr filled with every luxury, aliould have been conquered by on undisciplined band of raw troops, incotiiplolely armed, and vtlitee officers were destitute of most ol Ihe necessane of life. It is worthy to remark al-o, that Sin la Anna afterwards said That this Was the first moment he had tin dcrMood the American chaiacter; and that what he had witnessed, convinced him that Americans never could be conquered.'

On the 10: h of Jinutiry, the Commodore trans ferred Ins flag lo Ihe Prinecton. and proceeded on a cruise to Iptina. a villsc. nr nthnr crsa;nn of villages situated on a largo lagoon a boot thirty miles northward of Camneachv. and v.Y fr VJ'mik iionui in the lagoon, and im friendty terms with the inhabitants, notwithstanding which, however, bosrding nettings were placed around Ihe ves sels st night, and all other precaution! of de fense taken. The Princeton by reaion of her draft, could not approach the shore within eeve ral miles, but the Vixen came out and commu nicated. Of course nothing of interest had oc curred, the vessels merely maintaining a b'ock ade. On the 27th, the Princeton returned to her anchorage and llio Commodore to hia own ship. During hie absence, the prir.e steamer, Pelrita, brought down from Vera Cruz on Ihe 23d, Lt. Col. Alfonee Delano, of IxiuisiHna. His adven tures are rather romantic, aa fur as I ran learn. Under instruction From Gen. Pcott, he set out from New Orlesns to visit Vera Cruz and the surrounding country as a spy, and to cover his intentions proceeded trom the llavani, and oh tained a p.inspnrt to Vera Cruz as a frenchman, (he is of French descent, and speaks the tongue likp a Perisiau ) After arriving there he pene trated as fiir ns J il tps, ascertained the probable number of men that cnnlil be thrown into the castle of S.in Juan de Ullos4 the length of time which i. is provisioned, Ac, and the general tout ensemble, the material, Ac, that Would op pose tien Scott's contemplatej attack. During his stsy he narrowly escaped detection, being suspected and subjected to several close exami nations. Being informed lhal tho authorities intended cminilting him to the Castle as a spy he had barely time to escape on board a Trench merchant bark lying at Sucrificios, from which be was taken and brought down by the Pelrita. His escape was singularly providential. The men nf the boat supposed him one of the passen gers of the boat and carried him off under mis take. They were Waiting for one of the pas sengers, end being ordered authoritatively in French "lo shove of?," obeyed unhesitatingly. Again, Ihe arrival of ihe Petrita at Sacraficios was purely accidental, ft or should I omit to state that the French bark had been brought into Anton L znrdo as s prize, a few days before, and had j.iet been let ro. On the '23d, three vessels ran the blockade at Vera Croz, rot withstanding ihe vigilance ot the A'bsnv and St. Mary's; in fsCt steamers are the only vessels to blockade effectually. On the 2.jlh, the French l.rijf Princess Marie wns hrntifjlit in bv the A'hnnr. She waa ti.ken near Cainp'-achy and awaits the Commodore's decision. The rinis tUv tho small schooner Mariner, arrived from Il.ivans, with despatches frnfii the Commodore, supp std relating to the fiifinif out 'if privateers Irom that port under Mexican colors.

Scott us early as Hsible. On the 31t, the IVrpoit.e went out to cruise and the Princeton left for fio blockade of Alva rad rYb 3d, th French brig Prineesa Marie, was permitted to leave here for Sacraficios, the French CoinmneVre guarantying that no part nt her cargo should o landed. The same day the Petrita brought down Intelligence from Sa cifii'ins that the sdveneed guard of a column of our forces advancing from Tampico upon Tus psn. had been defeated snd six'y of our soldiers mtde prisoners. Pinta Anna waa i'so reported to be sti'l at Pin Luis Potosi.
