The battle of independence had been fought.
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

At 10 o'clock the next morning, Cen, Hous

fallen in battle, but decomposition hid taken

"'"""'""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.'
In the meantime, large number of Texsns
were aconrinp the prairie throughout the doy,
brineing in prisoners. The grass was every
where four or five fret high, and those who had
not been taI'n the oay ,,RforP' now craw-
ling away on their hands and kne-es, hoping
thus to make their escape. Sarta Anna had
not been taken, but Ihc victors were scouring
over the fields in search uf the Dictator.

Lieutenant Sylvester, i volunteer, of Cinci

very near trampling him
down. 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,)

I S. A. 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. Why you are the government of Mex
ico. i5. A. f had orders in my possession com
manding me to do so.
If. A Dictator, air, lias no superior.
R. 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

him to allow them to divide the eotn. 'We'll
plnnt it, said they, -and c.ill it the Houston corn.
'Oh. yes, my brave fellows; a I.J U,e General
smiling, 'lake it along if yu care anything a
bout ii, and divide it among you give each
one a kernel as far as it will ,., nd lakn it
home to your own fields, when I hope you may

you have shown yourselves n, asters ol the art
or war. You have achieve.! your independence
now see if you cannot mike as good farmers
aa you have proved yourselves gallant soldiers.
Vou may not call it the Houston corn : but call

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.'

Of! Anton L nrdo, F b. 4. 1S17
I believe the briefest and mot intelligible
mode of giving Information ofevpnts, iiby datea
anil in writing you ihe unconnected self, trans
piriog in the Squadron, I will adopt it aa far as
practicable.
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.
On the J0ih the P..rprii!-e returned from Tarn
p co, anil the sloop Mariner proceeded to that
place with Col. Allonse Deiapu on board as s
pissrnger. Of course he commiinicatos willi
( n. 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.
The rumor is now current that nnr whole na
val force haa been ordered to col'ect here on the
2f4'h of tMa month to he in readiness to co-operate
with Gen. Scolt in Ihe expected attack on
Vera Cfns, ind il is Ihe general impression
throughout the squadron that we shall have e
fitfht at last.

The N O. Picayune gives the following late
intelligence from Brans:
Oen. Wool apprised GcnTay1or towerds lha
end of January, that ho anticipated an attack
at Saltillo. In Consequence Gn. Tsylor left
Monterey on tho 1st. Feb. with his staff tor Sal

his company of mounted men, also for Saltillo.
dipt. Gordon, with a detachment of 150 r ecru in
for the difleront ref imante, also left Monterey
for Saltillo.
The ichr. Cora arrived at New Orleans or!
the 27th, from the Brazos, bringing dates to tho
19th ult. The intelligence! before received of
an expected attack upon Saltillo is confirmed.
All Gnu. Bu'ler's outposts had been driven in
and the assault, if made at all, was anticipated
during the few first days of February.
Gen. Taylor's command at Siltillo would ex
cecd 6000. Mnny believed that when the Mex
ieans found him in such force, ihe idea of an
attack would be abandoned ; many others, how
ever, were still of the opinion that Sjnla Anni
meditated no serious blow in that quarter, and
that the movement was but a faint one to cover
hi design of moving with the main body of I. "a

The troops wore embarking at the tnnu:h of
Ihe river as fast as possible. Gen Scott sailed
on ihe 13th for the Isle of Ibjs. Gen. Worth
would not embark till all tho troops u ero ott
