VkRa Caot, May 13th, 1847.
Gi!tTLEMK! A band of about 300 Mesirani
baa been prowling about tha mounted riflemen's
camp, four miles from this place, twohighti in
succession, and last night the men ware aroused
twice by the approach of Mexicans.
Early thii morning our gallant Capt. Walker
started out to give them battle, and had a nice
little skirmish, killing four of the enemy by the
time my informant, an officer ol the Rifles, left,
and be representa Walker a long way ahead of
the scene of the first brush, following them up.
I guess the enemy will find that they have got
bold of the wiong chap before Capt. W. has done
with them. '
This morning early a dragoon came in from
Santa Fe, where he had been left with seven
others to guard the stores belonging to Govern
ment, and he states that a body of about 200
Mexicans attacked them last night, killing all
his companions and taking possession of the
stores, and he only saved himself by running.

Since the diligencia went out at noon to day
for Vera Cms, ano'her diligencia haa come in

The ladronea guerillas I suppose they

the city of Mexico. The same passengers were
robbed the other day no less than seven timea
in one stage, and the inference ia that the last
must have had rather poor picking tf tfie first
were very senrthrng tn their operations. The
diligencia in which Mr. Kennedy came down
was robbed twice on the road.
It ia stated that the propositions made by
England some months 'mre, to offer her inter
vention in settling the difficulties between Mex
ico and the United States, have recently been
taken up by the Mexican Congress, after a
warm discussion, in which one of the members
said that the whole affair was but another at
tempt of the monarchists Upon the Batted liber
ties of the Mexican Republic, the motion even
to consider them was lost by a vote of 44 to 33.
From this it would seem that the present Con
gress is determined to shut every door against
all proposals of an honorable peace.

get hold of the following hurried translation of
a proclamation, which has been printed in Span

The following is the proclamation mention

it must be borne in mind that the origioal has
undergone two translations first into the Spa

Heat) nvxHTtusov tor AttMv, I
JalaFa, May U, 1847. S
The General in Chief of the United Statt$
of America to the Mexican Mai ion :
Mexicans! The recent events of the wsr,
and the measures adopted In consequence by
your Government, make it my duty to ad.
dress yon to show you truths of which you
are ignorant, because they hsve bren criminal
ly conersW from ymi. I do not ssk you to trust
my words, (thnttuh hr who has never faWfied
them has a right to confidence,) hut tn judge of
these truths by facts within the View sad
knowledge nrYou slL
Whatever may have been tho origin of ibis
war which my country saw itsrlf forced to un
dertake by irremediable causrs, which 1 learn
are unknown to the greater part of the Mexican
nation, we regard it as a necessity ; such is it
always to both beligerents, snd renson snd jus
tice, if not forgotton, on both sides, are in dis
pute, each believing tbem Us own. Vou have
proof tof this truth aa well aa ourselves, rbr in
Mexico, ss in the United States, there have ex
isted and do exist, two opposite parties, desiring
the one peace, the other war. But govern
menta have sacred duties, from which they can
not depart and often these duties impose, for
national reaeone, a ailencs and a reserve some
times displeaaing to the majority of those who
from views purely personal or individcali make
opposition. To this a government cannot pay
ny regard, expecting the nation to plaee in
it the confidence merited by a msgtitracy cf
their own election.
Reasons of high policy and of continental
American Interest tretipated events In spite rf
the circumspection of the Cabinet of Washing,
ton, which, ardently desiring to terminate its
d references with Mexico, spared nn resetirtes
compatible with honor and dignity to strive at
so desirable sn end ; snd when ft waa indul
ging the most flattering hopes of accompli. hfr.g
its aim by frank explanations, and reawnlngs,
addreaserj lo the judgment and prudence of the
virtuous and patriotic Government of Gen. D.
J. Ilerrera, the misfortune lesst looked lot
dispelled this plrasant hope, and at Hie same
time blocked up every avenue which could lead
to an honorable settlement between two nations.
The new Government discarded the nation
al interests as Weil as thrB of Continental A
meriee, snd elected In preference foreign influ
ence the moat fatal to the future of Mexican
liberty and of the republican system, which the
United States hold it a duty to preserve and
protect. Duty, honor and dignity itself impose
upon us the necessity of not losing s reason of
which the monarchical party Was taking Violent
advantage, for not a moment Wss to be lost, and
we acted with the promp'ness and decision ne
cessary in a case so urgent, to avoid thereby a
complication of interests, which might tender
our relatione more difficult and involved.
Again, In the course of civil war, the Govern
ment of f aredee was overthrown. We emild
not but hope thia would prove a fortunate event,
and whatever other adtninirtratioa might repre
aent the Governmeh!, it would be less deluded
as well aa more patriot ie and prudent, if it look
ed to the common good, weighing probabilities,
its own Blrenplh and resources, and especially
the general opinion aa In the inevitable results
of a national Wat. We were deceived, -.a per-
hapa you, Mexicns Were also deceived in
judging of the true Intentions of Gen. Santa
Anai, whom yon recalled, and whom our Go
vernment permitted to velum.
From thia condition of thinge the Meklcaa

some generals, whom it has most distinguished

past successfully eluded sll search, died a few
days since at tirattleboro', Vt., where he had
resided a number of VesVs, ahd enjoyed much
celebrity as ft physician, entirely unsuspected,
but much respected. The Carre Patriot give!
the following account cY the discovery of whd
be really was;
"During his last illness he refused to be b'd
dressed, and when near hia end, hired two Hien
to Wry htrh Tn his cloths just aa he died, a con
tract which waa not fulfilled on their part, in
consequence of tbe neighbors, who were desi
rocs of giving bis remains a more decent and
befitting burial. On removing his clothes,
previous to hia being laid oOf, the cause of
this eccentric desire of tiis was manifest thd
withered leg and cork beet", the shot marks, snd
the scar which witnessed 4 previous attempt at
auicide precisely as laid down in Lightbot'd
description of Mm raatkeil him as the Thun
derbolt who lad jgained such notoriety in Eng
land and this country, as one of the ffiiet daring
and iiicceesftil highwaymen thst ever graced

found a dirk and pistol, and among hia effect,
ernr of all descriptions, togeAcr with watches,
diamonds, jewelry, &c. etc , to an enormou
Value, packed away Th sawdust. He always
went dreased in three suite of cloths, to rnaktS
hia figure more portly, and to prevent recogni
tion, and his withered leg was foond wound
with cloths', inake it appear the ail of tha
