FROM MEXICO. [From the North American.] FROM VER.4 CRUZ—PREP./IRa- TION TO DEFEND J.11L./IP.4 OUR JIRMY ON ITS NaRcH— HEJILTH OF VER.4 CRUZ—.4N TICIPaTED BaTTLE. FREDERICKSBURG, VB., April 28. The Southern mail arrived here at 29 minutes past 11 o'clock. The New Or leans papers have dates from Vera Cruz to the Bth inst., but they contain nothing of interest. On that day Generals Twiggs and Quitman, with their divis ions, commenced their march to Jalapa. We learn in addition from our Wash ington correspondent, who has had more leisure to look over the New Orleans papers, by this arrival, that the corres pondent of the Picayune, confirms the reports not duly authenticated before, of the abandonment of the Puente Nacional by the Mexican forces. They had reti red to a narrow pass this side of Jalapa, and fortified it strongly, adding by art to the natural strength of the position. It was expected that here the enemy would make a stout resistance—perhaps the last desperate effort to repel the vic torious advance of our army, before the grand final denouement of the drama of the war at the Halls of the Montezumas and the walls of the Capital. The position thus taken by the Mex icans was five or six days march from Vera Cruz----and as all the divisions of our army left on the Bth, the Picayune thinks a battle must have come off on the 14th inst. Our troops left Vera Cruz in fine Bpi' , its, refreshed by a fortnight's rest, after their severe exertions during the invest ment of the city. There was little or no sickness arising from the climate or nature of the service. The hospital ac commodations were excellent and the wounded were all doing well. No death is recorded as the result of injuries re ceived. - BY SPECIAL EXPRESS, FOR THE PHILADELPHIA LEDGER. Important News from our Army. 4 Bloody and Desperate Battle Anticipa ted—Santa Anna's 4rtny from 12,000 to 15,000 Strong—Skirmish between Twiggy' Advance Guard and the Enemy —4 Proclamation of Gen. Scott to the Mexicans ! The Massachusetts arrived at New Orleans on the 22d inst., bringing dates from Vera Cruz to the 14th, with highly important intelligence. M. Y. Beach came passenger in her. The following is from the correspondent of the Picayune of the 23d ultimo: CAMP AT SAN JuAN, April 14, 1847, I arrived in this place at 11 o'clock last night, the road from Vera Cruz run ning for the most part through heavy sands. The Division of Gen. Worth, from the excessive heat and wearisome road, suffered incredibly. The news in camp is stirring. An express has conic down from Gen. Twiggs to the effect that Santa Anna was before him, at Cer re Gordo, with 15,000 men, as near as could be judged from reconnoisances made by Capt. Hardy and other officers of Dragoons. Lieut. Col. J. E. Johnston had been se verely, but not mortally wounded, while examining Santa Anna's works, which appeared to be a succession of breast. works on an eminence in the vicinity of Cerre Gordo. Every thing would now go to show that Santa Anna is determi ned to make a bold stand. A Dragoon, who had been sent down express by Gen. Twiggs, was yesterday found shot by the road-side just beyond this. His papers had not been touched. The Mex icans are playing a bloody and at the same time a bolder game than is usual for them, as it is thought they have kill ed no less than fifty of our men within the last three days on the road. Gen. Scott stopped last night nine miles from this. To-night he will reach General Twiggs' position. If Santa Anna is as represented, lie probably will not be at tacked before two or three days. 1 write in great haste. G. W. K. The following lettere are from the New Orleans Delta, of the 23tlult: VERA Cacz, April 13, 1847. Eos. DELTA—As I stated in my letter of this morning, the Brigade of General Worth took up the line of march for Ja lapa, but' from rather sudden indisposi tion,the General did not leave with them. About one o'clock an express reached him with important information, that the column of Gen. Twiggs had fallen in with a large force of the enemy at Cerre Gorde, a strong position beyond Puente Nacional and that a skirmish had taken place between Twiggs' advance guard and the enemy, in which Captain John son, Topographical Engineer, was se verely wounded, and several others.— In half an hour after the reception of this news, Gen. Worth had mounted his horse and was off, so suddenly, indeed, that I missed him, notwithstanding I re paired to his quarters to gather the par ticulars as soon as I heard of it. There is no doubt at all but that Santa Anna with from 12,000 to 15,000 men is between us and Jalapa; it is coneeded on all sides ; but if Gen. Twiggs does not whip, he will at least keep him in check until Gen. Scott, who left yester day, reaches him, which will be to mor-i row night. Major Gen. Patterson left here with two brigades of volunteers on Friday, and he has no doubt reached the advance before this hour. Gen. Twiggs had between 2500 and 2700 men, choice ones, too, under his command, and I entertain little fear for his safety. Gen. Patterson marched with Shields' and Pillow's brigades, and all the force, ex• cept the garrison of the towns, and Quitman's brigade is either at the scene of action or on the road to it. Gen. Scott, I think was pretty well satisfied before his departure, that Santa Anna was in the neighborhood of Jalapa, and was making good time towards that point before the express reached him.— A terrible battle will be fought at Cerre Gordo, or little or no fighting. An in telligent Mexican told me to-night that there would be no fight, and that Santa Anna had with him four prominent mem• bers of the National Congress, with the aid of whom he hoped to negotiate a peace. I believe, truly, that it is the wish of his Excellency to win the strife, but whether he will embrace the occa• sion, which by the way, is an excellent one, I cannot say. The horses of the Tennessee Cavalry arrived to-day from Tampico, and as soon as they are landed I expect Quitman will leave here. CHAPPARRAL, VERA CRUZ ANCHORAGE, April 12, 1847. EDITORS DELTA.—A large detachment of the squadron leaves for Tuspan, com manded by the Commodore in person.— The officers anticipated something of a fight at that place. It is belieied that there are upwards of 2,000 troops at that place, under the command of Gem Cos, with some 60 pieces of heavy cannon, all serviceable and in fine order, with the exception of three. The greater portion of the army is now on the road to Jalapa. Rumor has it that Santa Anna is there with a large force and intends to dispute the pass near that place. The romito has not yet made its appearance. Yours, CREOLE. The Vera Cruz Eagle, of the 13th inst., says the reported strength and po sition of Santa Anna and his forces are fully credited by both citizens and offi cers in that city. Gen. Patterson had recovered from his illness, and was at the head of his division. The only disease prevailing at Vera Cruz was diarrllira, and great numbers were sick. Two privates of the First Regiment Penna. Volunteers had been tried and found guilty of theft. They were sentenced to one month's impris onment in the Castle, and forfeiture of a month's pay. (Front the Mailmen's Flog, 17th ult.) The Castle.—The castle of San Juan D'Ulloa has undergone a thorough cleans ing throughout, making it approach much nearer a place in which an Amer ican soldier ought to reside. We are informed that a more filthy place could scarcely be imagined at the time our troops took possession. Execution.—The execution of the col ored man, Kirk, a citizen of the Unitel States, convicted of committing a rape upon the person of a Mexican woman, and theft, took place on Saturday even ing last. A large concourse of people were present to witness the first execu tion under American authority, which has ever taken place since our occupa tion of this country. It will, no doubt, prove a salutary lesson to many, who would destroy the safeties guarantied to good citizens, were not such punish• meats sometimes inflicted. Breaking up of General Head-Quar ters.—Yesterday evening, at 5 o'clock, Gen. Scott .and his staff left their quar ters in the Plaza, and started for Jalapa. They were escorted by Col. Harney's second dragoons, and will probably be up with Gen. Twiggs, of the advance, in two or three days. alvarado.—The port of Alvarado, which has been closed for several months, is now open to our commerce, and to all neutral vessels not having on board articles contraband of war. The Hospital.—Many of our gallant soldiers are now prostrated by disease, and the hospitals are filled to overflow ing with them. The disease most pre valent is diarrhoea, which in many cases has proved fatal. HHEAD•QUARTERS OF THE ARMY, VERA CREZ, April 11, 184.7. Major-General Scott, General-in-chief of the Armies of the United States of America, to the good people of Mexico: PROCLAMATION, Mexicans !—At the head of a power ful Army, soon to be doubled—a part of which is advancing upon your capital— and with another army under Major-Ge neral Taylor, in march from Saltillo to wards San Luis Potosi, I think myself called upon to address you. Mexicans !—Americans are not your enemies ; but the enemies for a time of the men who, a year ago, misgoverned you and brought about this unnatural war between two great republics. We are the friends of the peaceful inhabi tants of the country we occupy, and the friends of your holy religion, its hier archy and its priesthood. The same church is found in all parts of our own country, crowded with devout Catho lics, and respected by our government, law and people. For the Church of Mexico, the unof fending inhabitants of the country, and their property, I have from the first done everything in my power to place them under the safeguard of martial law against the few bad men in the army. My order, to that effect, known to all, are precise and rigorous. Under them, several Americans have already been punished, by fine, for the benefit of Mexicans, besides imprisonment, and one, for a rape, has been hung by the neck. Is this not a prod of good faith and energetic discipline Other proofs shall be given as often as injuries to Mexi cans may be detected. On the other hand, injuries committed by individuals, or parties of Mexico, not belonging to the public forces, upon individuals, small parties, trains of wag ons and teams, or of pack mules, or any other person or property belonging to this army, contrary to the laws of war, shall be punished with rigor; or if the particular offenders be not delivered up by Mexican authorities, the punishment shall fall upon entire cities, towns or neighborhoods. Let, then, all good Mexicans remain at home, or at their peaceful occupa tions ; but they are invited to bring in, for sale, horses, mules, beef, cattle, corn, barley, wheat, flour for bread, and vegetables. Cash will be paid for every thing this army may take or purchase, and protection will be given to all sell ers. The Americans are strong enough to offer these assurances—which, should Mexicans wisely accept, this war may soon be happily ended, to the honor and advantage of both belligerents. Then the Americans, having converted ene mies into friends, will be happy to take leave of Mexico, and return to their own country. WINFIELD SCOTT. Where are the Polk's ? In the war with Mexico, why do we not hear of the Polk'sl During the Presidential contest, we were told that the Polk's were a numerous and patriot ic family ; yet we have not thus far found the name among the killed or wounded in the reports of any of the battles in Mexico. Have none of them gone out to fight in this " just and right eous war 1" The Clay's, the Webster's, the Crittenden's, and hosts of other " Mexican Whigs," have sent their sons to aid in extricating their country from the unnecessary difficulty into which President Polk has got her. Where are the Polk's, that their names arc not found enrolled among their country's de fenders ? If any of them have buckled on their armor, let us know it.—Bucks Co. Intel. HORRIBLE AFFRAY.—In Georgetown, Mercer county, on Tuesday last, there occurred a desperate and murderous affray. A man yarned Burr had misused and beaten his wife, and the neighbors taking her part, determined to tar and feather him. They accordingly went to a house where he was and commenced an attack. He was supported by a wo man who was living with him as a par amour and her friends. They resisted the attack, and a desperate fight ensued. The assailants were fifteen in number, and rather superior to the attacked. Six persons were wounded in the affray, four of whom, James Craig,Geo. Palm, O. W ick, and George Fleuch, it is supposed will die. Burr himself was wounded, but it is thought be will re cover. Burr's paramour, whose name is Stately, fought in his defence with an axe, and wounded several. Her father was among those supposed to be mor tally wounded. No arrests have been made.—.A'Orth Jlmerican. Mr The Washington Union has, in the performance of its official functions, descended to much that was contempti ' ble, and more that was ungentlemanly, unmanly and mendacious. But it has ' shown that there was a lower depth still to which it could degrade itself, by the publication of an article from the Easton Argus, which states that promi nent Whigs had procured the transla tion of the Hon. Thomas Corwin's speech into Spanish, and forwarded numbers of copies to Mexico, "where it was read by the multitude, and received with great cheering." If the receiver of stolen goods is as guilty as the theif, surely the same degree of criminality attaches itself to the retailer as the inventor of such an infamous fabrication. The Union is endeavoring to show Virginia that she was right in refusing the issue which its editor would have made in the late election, when it was urged that "the liberty of the press" and the rejec tion from the Senate of the government organ, should be taken up as the watch words in the old Dominion. The land of Washington, Madison, Monroe, and, Taylor has spoken, and endorsed the Senate's severe rebuke to the imperti nences of a pensioned court zany.— North Smeriran. DEATH OF HORSES.—We are inform ed, that within a few days a species of gnat, or an insect closely resembling the common gnat, has made its appear ance in the American Bottom, opposite this city, which has produced the death of a number of horses. The insect in serts into the nostrils, ears, and under the skin of the horse, and by the sting, and blood which they extract, produce death in an incredible short time.-- V% hen the gnat is taken out from the skin of the horse it is found swollen to a very large size and full of blood. We are told that a drover a few days ago, lost five out of six horses, from this cause.--St. Louis Republican. FOREIGN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE SARAH SANDS, TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, The arrival of the Sarah Sands at New York, on the 29th ult,, brings two ,days later news from Europe, The pa. pers contain the following items of in telligence : IRELAND The Cork Examiner says : " One hundred and seventy-five persons died in the work-house for the week ending Monday, March 29. There are at pre sent 5224 in the house, and 628 in the hospital. The Crown Solicitor for Cork says that the anxiety of the prisoners at the assize for that county is, not that they should be acquitted, but that they should be found guilty ! The learned gentletnan has made a report to that ef fect to government. The jails of the county are crowded by a class of offen ders created by the famine." The following is an extract of a letter dated Dublin, April 3 :—" There appears to be much less of actual famine, al though extreme destitution still pre vails in various districts, but generally throughout the country pestilence is at work, and in the work-houses typhus fever exists to an alarming extent." The number of Irish who came from Ireland into Liverpool, during the month of March, is 50,100; 3500 came over last Sunday. The expense of main taining then, is between £6OO and £7OO per week. Large sheds, capable of holding between 400 and 500 fever pa tients, have been hired in Great How ard street, at a rent of £BOO per an num, and additional fever sheds are to be built near the Fever Hospital. FRANCE We learn by a communication made by M. Dubois, the deputy of Havre, to the Chamber of Commerce of that place, that a clause to the following effect will be embodied in the forthcoming law on customs, viz :—All bar iron, sheet iron, zinc, (whether rolled or not) hemp and flax, if to be used in the construction or repair of French merchant vessels, may be brought into the country free of duty. ITALY, The alarm and agitation created at Rome by the establishment of the cen sorship have been considerably tran quilized by the character of the individ uals who are to exercise its functions. Contrary to what was expected, the board is composed chiefly of the laiety, and of individuals known for their en lightened and moderate opinions. They are the Marquis Antici, the Abbe Coppi, and MM. Betti and Vannutelli, the lat ter a lawyer. [From the Liverpool Times, April 6.] THE CORN TRADE. The condition of the trade and com merce of the country during the first quarter of the present year, has been far from favorable, and though the last ar rivals bring the gratifying news of a very decided improvement in the Ame rican and Eastern markets, yet we fear that the progress of amelioration will be slow, until the result of the next har vest is ascertained. Should it realize the hopes that we are justified in found ing on the great increase in the quanti ty of wheat and spring corn sown in this country; on the fineness of the seed time, both in the Autumn of last year, and the spring of the present, and on the present appearance of the young wheat in many districts, we shall then obtain effectual relief. We are not, in deed, in the number of those who be lieve that one good harvest will give us low prices, and still less of those who believe that we shall see low prices pre vious to that harvest; but still we are I convinced that the high prices which our farmers have obtained for their last year's grain, joined to that thorough frightening which they got during the great corn-law battle, have roused them to exertions such as they never made before, and that they have already pro duced a great improvement in English agriculture, the effects of which will be felt in the next harvest. If we may judge from what we have ourselves seen, during a tour through Lancashire, Cheshire, the West Riding of Yorkshire, Westmoreland and Cum berland, we should say there is this year a great increase in the extent of tillage and draining, and great improvements in the mode of laying out fields, and of performing all manner of farming ope rations. The quantity of land sown with wheat appears to us to be greater than we ever knew it to be before; there is a sufficient plant in the ground, and it presents every appearance of health.— Should this promise of increase in the home supply be realized, a good har vest would give us a return of moderate, though not of low prices. p , - The New York Express states that a gentleman of that City has recei ved a letter from Mr. Clay which con cludes with the following noble allusion to the fall of his son at Buena Vista: 6 , My life has been full of domestic affliction, but this last is one of the se verest among them. 1 derive some con solation from knowing that he died where lie would have chosen, and where, if I must lose him, I should have pre ferred ; on the battle-field in the service 1 of his country. LAWFUL REVENGE.—Many years ago a gentleman in Newington, a parish of Weathersfield, Connecticut, who was a very religious and conscientious man s married one of the most ill natured and troublesome women he could find ill the vicinity. This occasioned universal stirs prise wherever he was knoivn, and one of his neighbors ventured to ask hitti the reasons which had governed his choice. He replied that, having had but little trouble in the world, he was fearful of becoming too much attached to the things of time and sense s and thought by experiencing sonic afflictions ; he should become more weaned from the world s and he married such a woman as he thought would accomplish his object. The best part of the story is, that his wife, hearing the reason why he mar ried her, Was much offended, and out of revenge became one of the most pleas , ant and dutiful wives in the town s decla• ring that she was not going to be a pack , horse to carry her husband to heaven, Too FOND OF TITLES.--A few days since several members of the legislature representing some of the interior coun ties of this State were at a boarding house in this city, where at the table they displayed what was deemed by some of the other boarders an anti-dem ocratic fondness for honorary titles. In addressing each other the style would be : "Will the Honorable member from Chautauque hand me the butter ?" " W ill the Honorable gentleman from Otsego be kind enough to pass me the vinegar 1" _ "Certainly sir, we may expect some thing sharp from the Honorable mem ber from Chetiango l" A Down East clerk becoming uneasy under this display of empty honors, called out in a loud sarcastic tone to the black waiter : " Will the Honorable gentleman from Africa be kind enough to pass the bread'!" The laughter that ensued may be im agined. The horiorables were hence• forth silent.—True Sun. The Jilarke►s.
