days in advance •of mail, with dates from .
Santa Fe, covering important news. There.
has been an extenpive Mexican Insurrection
at Taos. All the Spaniards who evinced
any sympathy with the American cause, had
been compelled to escapd.
Gov. Bent, Stephen Lee,' Acting 'Sheriff,
Gen. Elliot Lee, Henry Seal and twenty
Americaiis were killed rind their families
despoiled. , The Chief Alcalde was• also
killed. This all occuted on the 17th January.
The insurrection had made formidable head
and the disaffection tea s rapidly spr,eading.
The insurrectionists were sending expresses
out all over the country to raise assistance.
The number engaged in the outbreak at Taos
was about 600. They were using everM
gument to incite the Indians to hostilities and
were making prepatations to take possession
of Santa Fe.
The Americans at Santa: Fe, had only
about 500 effective men there, the rest were
on the sick list or had left to join Col. Doni
phab. Such being their situation they can=
not send 'succor out, as' they are hardly able
to defend themselves. It is. thought Santa
Fe must be. captured, as neither the Fort nor
Block House are completed.
It is announced as the intention of the
insurrectionists who captured Taos, to take
possession of the government wagon trains,
which are.carrying forward our supplies ; and
thus cut off all communication.

By the arrival nf , the C. S. revenue cutler
Forwad, Capt. Nones, a large mail was yes
terday received front . Ariton Lizrado. ..Our
own letters come down to the 28th of reh
ruary, on
.. which clay a norther prevailed;
which prevented Forward rote leaving be
fore the 2d - ol March instant. The informa
tion which follows we derive 'exclusively
from our letters and papers.
It appears that Senor Mocha, whose arri
rival at Vera Cruz,
.with despatches, we an
mounced yesterday, went overpn the Far Ward
horn this city direct. Ile reached there on
the Bth ult. and proceeded immediately, t
Mexico. lie 'returned from the capital on
the 26th ult. and' repai ed again . immediately
on board the Forward, and is now, we pre
sume, on his way
. to ‘Va , hinmon. ' It is
supposed he has not accomplished much by
his mission. The Mexicans had personal
objections to him. and his reception by the
authorities of Vern Cruz, and the people and
govemmxid of. Mexico, was anything but
cordial. Some speculations in regard to his
mission will lie found in the copious and
very interesting - e9rrespondence hereafter
subjoined. .
Our readers will learn whh infinite pain
that Passed Midshipman Rogers has 'been
ordered to perote, and that he is now eolith,-
-ed in that gloomy prison. '
We leant that the blockade of Vera 'Cruz
continues to be violated with almost perfect
impunity. 'This is attrituted not more to the
want of vessels
. ot the proper description,
than to the instructions by Which the 'com
modore enforces the law of blockade. •
Two , barks have arrived oft Vera Cruz with
volunteers front the Nortli,iand gone into
, --Ardon Lizard°, Quo of them is the St. Clohd.
Although Santa Anna announces the cap
ture of Captain Healy and his small compa
ny of Kentucsians, we find no mention obthe
murder of Lieutenant Ritchie and the sei2nre
.ot his despatches. The despatches have not
formally been made public by him. The
papers speculate upon our plans, stating con
fidently that we are to advance upon Veto.
Cruz by land. with 10,000 troops, while a
fleet of 16 ships carrying 300 gulls attacks
San Juan de Ulua. This, they say, is the
plan at IVashington, - .where they could not
have antictpated Santa Alma's inatch upon
&din.) at the head of 30,000 men. This
march they think may :disconcert all out
schemes, and they already discover evidence
of this in General Taylors movements. ,
Military ethics condemn Santa Anna's plan
of campaign. They say he was driven from
his original design by the outcry of '' apathy''
made against him. They anticipate that he
will now drive' everything before him, and
.defeat General Taylor, but complain that he
leaves the coast of Vera Cruz uniiiotecte - d;
and can obtain no advantages that will be
decisive. lie must necessarily, subsist his
troops upon the poor inhabitants of the conn
try he traverses with his hordes, by which
they 'will become • exasperated. But the
great point insis:ed upon is that Santa Anna
has left the count!) , open for the march of the
American troops upon the capital, where
they may dictate a peace Udine he' can re
turn from his distant expedition.

Great anxiety has prevailed al this place
forthesetwo days past to receive intelligence
from the' Artily... Nothing official has conic
to hand, but: various rumors hero arrived,
leaving a greater mvslery.aa to the true con
dition, of General Taylor's. forces : than has
ocenfred at any period etc the war. The
country above is doubtless sWarmed with
Mexican troops cutting of ali communication
with our lower depots . - •"11te .rancheros and
others are flocking-to the Mexican standard.
' The battle commenced on the night of the
23d, near Saltillo. It Continnodfor avo days

being composed alone of caviliiry and infan

Mexicori loss is about .1500. Gen. Taylor
was in hopes that he mould be able to retain
his position, winch is about three miles' from
Saltillo, at a nil rotia, where lie possesses
some natural defences.

From tl4 N. 0, Picayune, Marth 13
We publish - the reports as we derive them
from the Mutant oras Fiao. and passengers
who came by the arrival: What credit ought
to be placed in therm we are not prepared to
say; but we have no right to doubt that all
action of some kind has taken tgllice between
the American and Mexican forces in, or
about Saltillo, We have already announced
that Sar ta Anna was at Matehnia on the 7th.
of February; subsequent_ ad vices reported
him at El Cedral,a slay dr two afterwards.—
The, latter place is thirty-Iwo Spanish leagues
from San Luis Potosi, or nearly half way be
tween that city - and Saltillo. The fighting is
ThriliffeliTe'have commenced on the 22d Fel•-
ruary,-at Agtia Neva. nine leagues in advance.
of Saltillo, where Gen. TaTlii7 has had his
camp for several weeks ;P•that wotild give him
about two weeks to march from Cedral to
Saltine, a distance of thirty-six Spanish
leagues, - Or about ninety-four miles. ---
Tho torte w hich, according_to the Alex ican.
papers, Santa Anna leit San Luis with, or
had sent in -the direction of Monterey in ad
vance of him, consisted , of 21. 340 men.
if we add to this tome the cavalry under
Generals Mition and Urrea, it would
.appear
that Santa Anna had under him an army 01
25.000 or 30.000 men. The report relied
upon try the Flag, states that General Taylor
was ottacked4with 15.01)0 men; other ar.
(mulls make 11. e attacking army
. 25.000
strong, It may be that Minot - Cs eOrnMand
wan embraced in the six thousand cavalry
reported on the maich, and, it is, not likely
that Urrea, if the previous accounts were tree
of Ids having taken—possession of Viettnin ;
had been withdrawn from that position to
assist in the demonstration upon. Salltillo.
It is therefor.: likely that it Santa Anna has
given battle at all, he' has done so with about
20,000 men.
Communication between Monterey and
Camargohad been comple.ely.cut off—s t all
the romoro s say—and'ean only be opened by
a considerable IThtli — Ainericans and
Mexicans on the Rio Grande are in a state
of great excitement and over alarm.

GEN. TAYLOR AT .MONTEREY;-RE
QUISITION FOR TROOPS!
The steamship Palmetto arrived at New.
Orleans , on the 14111,.. front Gl)Weston, which
place she left on , the. 12th, bringing advices'
from the . Brazos to the 7th, one day litter ;bin:
before receited. The previous reports are
6nly confirmed with slight-alterations and.
additions. Gen, Harney and iiis.efair left it
the sth, alter cOnstructing.fortifications at the
Brazos. The nit day Ain-express was sent'
to request him to disembark, but' the ship
had sailed. rthijoi Thomas turived ion the
11th, and taking the command deulared . the'
town under martial law. All the citizens
were enrolled triid *armed. ..
-News had reached the 'Brazos that Gen.
Taylor had made good his retreat to Monte
rey with the loss of six pieces of artillety at
Rinconada Trice. Nothing was known •of
the loss on either ride. No doubt was en
tertained that (Ten. Talor can sustain himself
as long as his Applies last, but it is-beyond
dispute 'that all communication with 'him is
now cut oft.
The number of the , enemy Is said to be
vet whelming and commanded by Santa
Anna in person. 'I he enemy is said to be
in considerable force aboot. Matamoras, and
an attack was hourly expected. The Mata
moros Flag calls on all citizens to take up
arms, and aid in Matamoras's defence. The
maims were numerous, and nothing can be
said `with certainty, except that Geri. Taylor
having been deprived of the force necessary
•to defend the country he had taken' posses
sion of, it will now fall into the hands of the
enemy—temporarily, nt least.
General Taylor has mad requisitions on
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
for ten regiments, to'proceed forthwith to
the Rio Grande. The New Orleans Bulletin
says that the quota for Louisiana is two reg.
iments of infantry which- would leave im
mediately.

another asks how_long Mexico will permit

which Senor Atochivitt held has apparently
prejudiced the propOili; whatever they may
be.
How stiptemely ridiculous. this failure to
bribe makes Mr. Polk, and how much more
ridiculous would he -item had the negotia
t on succeeded and Congress refuse to grant
the appropriation and to assume the Mexi
can liabilities.
The Harrisburg Inteligencer says, the-Whig
Legislature of 1847, was in session only SEV
ENTY-ONE D:II,YS and submitted fie hun
dred and fifty nine bills and resolutions to the
Governor ! The Looofoco session last year
lasted ONE HUNDRED Alm SIX DAYS, and
but lour hundred and sixty-one bills and res
olutions were passed: The Whig Legisla
ture transacted as much business as the last
Locoloco Legislature, and adjourned about
thirty : six days sooner, thus saving to the State
not less- than TWENTY THOUSAgp. pot-
LARS? Such are the good results flowing
from Whig Legislation and Whig econprny

three years ago; hiving a hage,locofoorknaft•

to enact anylkind of legislation - which had
iitti" good of the 'patty" in tiieW ; the loablo
cos,suecieded in securing a law fer the dij
vitioh. of the borough , into -Wards.. It Was
done In a secret,,staidthy in:lnner ; and against
the decided and terrionStrances of the
whip, who have for malty, years held a clear
majority in the : borough, The law was vv.
erthelesserbitterily -pasited,ldird the wishes
of the people lather violated by making the
division inici.East and . West Wards, instead
of North and South. This East Ward was
thought-to be-a f‘green spot".of locofocoism,.
end in the law providing for the election of
the . Connell., it . was provided' , that the , first'
year five members should de elected from the
East Ward, and only four from that "Gibrah,
ter of lVhiggery,"., the glorious old West
Ward. Here was a pretty schenie for elect
' ing a locofoco Council in a Whig borough,
and the locos chuckled and grinned over
their ardently anticipated success.
But the Whigs concluded that they could
n't and would n't be ' licked" by such a
sneaking and cowardly prooest. asthis, Al
though they went int o the contest againsf
great c:lds t they nevertheless Went into it
with -•-' hearts for the battle and trot for des.
,pair," and as much to their surprise as their
exceeding joy, they fought and tampered.—
The whigs yarned a majority of the Connell,
and tocofocoism was routed and totally dis
comfitted in- its boasted tower of strength-,
t he East Ward f• Thus wai , the '' poisoned
chalice" returned -to the lips of those who
compounded tt, and shame and confusion
visited upon the authors dt 'a cunning.end
• -,
stealthy trick.
Last year the five member of Cotricil were
elected from the West ward, and air - oppo
nents made but a small show of fight.
.This year, however, it again came to the
turn of the East _ward- to be represented by
live members of Connell, and the hopes of
locolocois_m : agairr revived. They. had ‘V
gory now sure, and defied it to cheat them
again of the hoped-for triumph !. They coi l .
certed..the best arrangements for the contest
— , they'threw their strongest ticket into.the
field—they promised..the. Jew little offices in
the gift of the Council to every Hungry nary
rent who was lookit4 out for a small taste—
they drum:ned up their forces with indefati
gable energy—;their COO Oates elect ion eer
.ed" with untiring perseverance—the Volun
teer gave out its loudest war-cry—nothing
was lelt undone to ensue success, and they
did succeed with all but—onc! TheM is one
Whig in the Fast ward who always spoils the
darling schemes of our loco foco friends—
' a staunch, steady and true Whig, who as a
political canvasser has no superiors, and who
has saved the Whig, party in • many a hard
fi , tht. We allude to Maj. ROBERT MCCART•
nr • •
• Nt-r, to whom we cordially yield the meed
of praise which he eminently deserves at the
hands of the whit party, and which we
trust they will properly remember. He is a
working whig--z-who when' .others falter,
" fights Q1)--fights ever'."
Maj. McCartney is elected to the Council
from the East Ward, and his success secures
the whips a majority of that body. •
Below we give the return of votsit en the
borough ticket. It will be seen that the
vrhigs have carried all the borough ,officers

The-Carlisle Deposit Bank ; (chartered last

the Governor presumes filim this feat " that
the necessity for a Bank' at Carlisle cannot be
very pressing." The facts iu relation to that
Bank do not furnish proper grounds for this
'presumption. That intended Bank was whol
ly a party affair, and we do not. believe the
business-men of Carlisle or Cuniberlend comity
ever expected it logo into operation. It was
not the kind of a Bank that was,wanted, ar.d
the entire failure treprocore subscribemto its
stock clearly proVed what people thofrght of

bullish us n sound local currency; or protect
us Porn the filthy mass of irresponsible rags,
which have
, been- palmed upon us since the
loss of a itaiik -of our own. Our people pre
ferred waiting a year rather than put such an
institution in operation. To make the char
ter of that Bank a ground' for the vetoing o
the present bill, is committing an °tillage up.
on the wisltes and business interests of the
-nersple of Cumberland county, which if we
rotilicy will resent with the true
spirit of a• people who are not to be trifled

with.
The Governor's rett arks about the increase

in connexion with this bill, unless he can
make it clear that the cre'ation of a new Bank
