WAR INTELLIGENCE Important-News from Mexico. Battle between Gen. Taylor & Santa Anna 1 Battle at SaltilloSanta.dnna command ing in person—lnterruption of the line of communication betweenCamargo Montery--Critical position of the .1- merican forces. Correspondence o! the National Intelligeneer N. ORLT:Atis,'lNlarelt 14, 1847. We have one day's later advices from the Rio Grande. The information is rather more consiit t . tent and definite, and think gives a mire grave appearance to affairs there. Gen. TAYLOR evident ly has his bands full, and, it' he gtts out of the scrape at all, can only do it by the most desperate fighting against a vast superiority of force. The whole valley of the Rio Grande is thrcdtened, and I think with a very great prospect that every thing that has been gained there, and all the fruits of for mer operations and victories, will be lost, and v•orse than lost, if our army is overwhelmed ani captured. I have never yet spoken to an officer on the subject who did not hoot at the stupidity of the plan to attempt entering .I , lexico by the fron tier of the Rio Grande, with a march of eleven hnndred miles to the capital, through en imprac tiCable country, instead of moving through and fiom Vera Cruz, on a better road, and less than three hundred miles distance. If the forces and money that h a ve been spent on the Rio Grande had been directed on Vera Cruz, the results would have teen far more efficient and important. You will find enclosed a slip that gives the most condensed and latest information. The movement of SA;ITA AZINA on the Rio Grande has been-expected by the best inform porsons since it was left in such a defenceless situation as glar ingly to invite attack. He leaves Vera Cruz to the protection of the you'll°, and you will see, by the result, that he could not have left in more ef ficient and powerful hands. Every thing connected with this war is truly heart-sickening. Its whole conduct has been vac illating and blundering on the part of the Admin istration, and the present prospect for our pour fellows there is disheartening in the extreme—yel low fever in one quarter and overwhelming numbers in annther. It old Zack- gets out of this ictnpe he will deserve a triple -wreath. The most feverish end intense anxiety! is felt here for later nc.v.s.: Various messengers have been stationed at the Balize, with orders to come up by a special steamboat as soon as any thing further arrives. The city papers are filled with accounts of re potted battles between the Mexicans and the Troops under Gen. Taylor. As a great deal of it appears to be mere rumor, we extract the follow ing, having the appcarence of being the most au- The Latest from the Sent of War. U. S. schooner Arispe, Captain Wesl, arrived at New Orleans on the after neohn of the 13th: 'Doctor Jarvis, inf the Artny, came N. tiger, hearing tkapatch p.overnment front Col. Curtis, who is tabolmnand of Caritaigo. Dr. Jarvis left Camargo on the 2d. No thing had then been heard at that place of Gen. Taylor for several days. The following items were' furnished to the N. Orleans Picayune by Dr. Jarvis-- they are of events of which lie was person ally cognizant. .Dr. J. left on the morning of the 26th ult." for Monterey,' in company With 70 wagons, escorted by Marshall's Cnmpany of Kentucky Cavalry and a de tachment of 20 men from the 2cl Dragoons. They had, not proceeded 5 miles when an order overtook them to return, issued in eonsequence of instructions received at • Carnargo by, express from Col. Whitney ai 'Taylor's Head' Quarters; directing all 'trains to be stopped, as information had been, received that four or five thousand of the enemy's Cavalry were in,pr near Chi na, and that Caidereyta was already occu pied by them. Accompanying Col. Whit ney's instructions was Gen. Taylor's or der, dated,Agua Nueva; Feb. 21st, doubt leis 'calling for !Tido: cements. At'2 O'clock P. ; M' . on the' 27th, another ,express arrived at Camargo from the Quar ter Master at Monterey, stating that an ex press had just arrived from Saltillo on the 23d bringing information that Santa Anna hid sent, a summons to Gen. Taylor' de titandlig his surrender... Gen. Taylor .1.61 d him ,"to come and take' him. , Santa Anna stated "that he had 20,000 in,en and if Taylor did not surrender his ar my immediately he would cut hint to pie ces." '; The note concludes by stating "that the ,express which left after dark last night says that Taylor was giving the Mexicans sts." ' This may be considered as the last of fieial received—all subse "Anent infarmation being derived from the Mexidans. A note from the Postmaster at Monte , rey;says that Taylor had fallen back front Agua Nueira to Saltillo. Dr. Jarvis con •!titiers this r information correct. The Mexicans say that Gen Taylor lost six niedek.ef cannon at Agua Nueva. `Gen. Marshall had gone to fortify the ,'Pass Muortos, and large quantities of ,Miunnnition hail, been, dispatched from MOnterey, to Saltillo. to "detachments greatly 'feared. at Camargo, that t)ic detachmeMs of the Third Ohio Colonels Regi went, under Morgan and Irving, bad been cut,pir by a force of three thou- Santl 01.

This report was brought by a mule driver, who escaped. • Reports, most of them to Ve traced to the Mexicans, were in circulation at Ca margo when Dr. Jarvis left, stating that a battle was at that time being fought between Santa Anna and Gen. Taylor, and bad continued for three days. Great loss was reported to have been sustained by our forces, but still greater by the Mexicans. In addition to the above, the Picayune learns from Dr. Jarvis, that a bearer of de spatches left Camargo for Tampico, and sailed from the mouth of the Rio Grande in the steamer M'Kim. It was feared he could not reach Tampico before all the troops had departed, which would be' lam entable, as that is the only quarter to which Gen. Taylor can look for reinforce ments. A letter from an officer of the Army, da ted on board a steamer on the Rio Grande, 65miles above Matamoras, at 3 o'clock on the 3d inst., says that the Mexicans report that Gcn. Taylor had repulsed Santa An na, and that the latter had sustained a loss of 2,000 men. From all accounts there can be no doubt that a battle has been fought, and reports, thus far, are favorable to the American Ar my ; but it must be borne in mind that 5,- 000 men cannot cope_with.2o,ooo, forever: It is certain that Gen. Taylor has an ar my in front and one in the rear of him.— Each of which is larger than his whole_ command. The whole valley of the Rio Grande is in a most critical state. The Mexican families are abandoning their homes in crowds. Matamoias and Camargo are stripped of their native inhabitants, who dread the approach of their own army more than the presence of ours. No fears are entertained for the safety of Camargo, which is strongly fortified. The reported capture of M'Cullougit's rangers is un founded. Later from the Army. .Ranzors—RequiBition for 50,- 000 troops. The steamship Palmetto, Capt. Smith, arrived at New Orleans, on Sunday eve ning, from Galveston, having sailed on the 12th inst: Accounts to the 7th inst., have been re ceived from the Brazos at Galveston.— There was still nothing later than the eve ning of the 23d of February frOin Nlonte rey. Another ?Mexican spy was shot on the 3d inst. near Matamoros. _ had beemar rested and was endeavoring to escape from his_guard, when he was shot dead. Col. Curtis was determined to make a strong defence at Cateargo. To make an opening for the play of his artillery on the approaches to the town, he ordered two houses to be torn down. The order was was executed by setting fire to then. A strong wind arising the flames were com municated to other buildings 'and a great many consumed, principally jacules of no great value. The impression in Matamoros is that Gen. Taylor had fallen back on Monterey, but they new nothing authentic on the sub jecL It is stated that he made good his retreat to Monterey with the loss of six pieces of Artillery at the Rinconada Pass. If true,: there is no doubt that he can Sustain Ximsetf as long as his supplies last, but it was beyond dispute, that all communication with him is now cut off. The number of the enemy is sa,d to be overwhelming and commanded by Santa Anna in person. The enemy are said td be in considerable force about Matamoras and. an attack was hourly expected. The Matamoras Flag calls on all citizens to take up arms in aid of the common de fence. The rumors were numerons, and but little can be said with certainty, except that Gen Taylor having been deprived of the force necessary to defend the country he had taken possession of, it will now fall into the hands of the enemy; temporarily at least. CALL FOR FIFTY THOUSAND VOLTJN TEERS. On the 14th inst. Gov. Johnson of Lou isiana received the following letter from Col. Samuel R. Curtis, of ,the Ohio Volun teers, commanding at Camargo, making a requisition upon Louisiana for ten thousand men. The object of securing these troops is to garrison the posts at Brazos, Point Isabel, Matamoros and Camargo, and rein forces Gen• Taylor, who, at the last dates, was in an extremely critical condition : Head Quakers, Camargo,. March 2d, 1815 Sir.--I send an officer to 'Head Quar ters, at Washington, making a requisition on the President of the United States for fifty thousand six months volunteers.— All communication has for the last several days been cut off between this place and the army aboVe, and! see no adequate relief this side of New Orleans. I request you, therefore, to call out ten thousand men of this-character of troops, and I anticipate they will be recognized under the"call of the President. As fast as any considerable force can be accumulated let them be forwarded to Bra zos Santiago. All troops, as far as practi-. cable, should be armed before leaving the United States; and the officers command ing companies shiluld take -in charge am munition enough to distribute in ease of e mergency, forty rouilds at least. Very respectfully your obd't serv't. S. R.:CURTIS, Cot. Com'g. To the GoVerner of Louisiana. From: Lobos and Tampico. . The schooner Pioneer has arrived at N. Orleans, froin Lohos on the Ist instant and Tampico on the 3d. All the' troops which were at Lobos had gone board ship with the exception Mentioned - below.' There were nearly eighty 'sail of vessels of all descriptions ly ing t.itere, but they were to sail for Anton Lizard() o,u the 2d inst. They fully believ ed they were to attack Vera Cruz on the 10th. They were all alae'rity and eager for the fray. The only troops left at Lobos were the companies on board the ship on which the small pox had appeared—our eorrespon (kilt thinks the ship Gen. Veazie. Gen. Worth arrived at Lobos on the Ist instant. Gen Twiggs arrived there two or three (lays previous. Gen. Patterson was still at Tampico on the 3d inst. The steamship New Orleans, arrived there the morning of that day with with Gen. Jessup on board. The Mississippi volunteers who were at Lobos (part of the 2d regiment) had sailed for Brazos. They were ordered to Monterey. They had suffered terribly from sickness, and look miserably. The Lousiana regiment, too, is said to have suf fered from sickness. On the other hand the Pennsylvania and New York regiments are said to be as fine a looking body of , men as ever were seen. The general depot established at Lobos is broken up. Nothing is to be left there but the few companies before alluded to.-- The two regiments from Pennsylvania are in excellent health, and stand the climate very well. They had been on the Island nearly a month, and had not lost a man by death or conTirmed disability. The Mis sissippi and Lousiana volunteers, on the contrary, have suffered greatly from dis ease, and deaths in each are of ahriost daily occurrence. Arrival of the The Steamer Hibernia arrived at Boston on Saturday with 28 days later intelligence from Europe. The principal items of in terest relate to the condition of Ireland, where the destitution still continues.— Large contributions have been already made for the relief of the deStitute, but it is stated that while the large towns are bet ter off, the silfferings of the people in the interior are more intense than ever. Hun dreds are dying every day of slow starva tion—of dysentery and fever—the conse quences of insufficient nourishment ; and all the accounts from the districts remote from.the great markets, concur in anticipa ting a worse state of things. The supplies of corn in the !laggards of the Jarmers are rapidly disappearing—not, as some think, transferred to the ground 411 f- seed, but either used by their thmilies as food, or sold to distant dealers. This is the sub stance of almost every communication Written from the southern and western counties, from parts of Donegal and An trim, from Longford, Meith, and Leitrim. The great majority of deaths are imp diseases brought on by starvation. The price of bread in ,Earis has again been raised two centimes the kilogramme, or about id. on the 11b. loaf. The King of Naples has forbidden the exportation of wheat, as he had previously that of maize. The Prussian government is making large purchases of rye from Russia in or der to reduce the price of corn. The Pope has been elected colonel of civic guard of Rothe: The Spanish papers state that - large quantities of maize have been shipped from Vigo, and other Galician ports, tier Eng land. Every small farmer in LiMerick county, who can muster £2O, or even £lO, is a bout emigrating to America in the ensuing summer. In the House of Commons on the 2d in stant, Lord Jchn Russel announced that her Majesty was pleased to call a council, to consider the best day on which to ap point a general fast and humiliation, on ac count of the present awful condition of the sister kingdom. This announcement was received with evident satisfacti9n by both sides of the house. The affairs of Ireland still continue to absorb attention. The proposition of Lord George Bentinck, for expending sixteen millions on railways in that country, was rejected by a large majority, and the ac companying discussion--for the House was two or three nights in full but discor dant chorus on the subject—showed that the evils attending the proposed remedy would far outnumber the benefits. Mr. O'Connell, it is said, is dying.— The state of his health prevents his remo val to Ireland. ' Ills confessor, Dr. Miley, loft Dublin, by express, to attend him in London, where he now remains. His complaint is stated to be water on the chest and dropsy in the legs-;--fatal symp toms ever at his time of life. The num ber of inquiries daily at his hotel is great, and it is said- a servant from the palace is a mong the number. Another Warning. 11:7 - The York Republican of Wednesday says that on the 13th inst. a boy about 11 years of age, son of Mr. George Schuyler, residing near Liver pool,, in that county, while playing with a boy named Jacobs, ut the house of Mr. John Schroll, near by, met with his death in a horrible manner. They had got to the entry of Mr. Schroll's house during their romp, in which stood a loaded gun Jacobs, not knowing that the gun was loaded, pick ed it up, and for the purpose of frightening his play mate, pointed it at him, and, cocking it, pulled the 'trigger, and the contents entered the body of young Schuyler, just above the groin, killing him instant ly. What a warning should this be to all not to allow loaded fire-arms to be about their premises. ANOTHER.—Mr. John Kepman, of York Ha ven, in that county, met with his death on Monday last under the following circumstances. He and Mr. Wentol Kehler, bad been off an island in the Susquehanna on a gunning excursion. When they had reached the shore on their return, as Mr. Kepman was leaving the boat, his gun, which was heavily charged, and had been lying in the bottom of the boat, from some cause went off,--the load lodging in his body, just below the right ribs. He d ied within an hour. pc_7-Webster and Calhoun are said to be now engaged upon great works, which are to be the crowning oflorta of their lives ; Mr. Calhoun upon a Treatise on the Principles of Government, and Mr. Webster upon . a History and Exposition of the Constitution. fCrss,ooo daniages were recolered last week, in the Howard District Court, Md. by .

Fi No 415 Market street, Philadelphia, in to-day'. pa• per. - • ItCr° The very best spirit pervades tde ranks of the Whigs of Pennsylvania in reference to the approaching Gubernatorial struggle. All individual preferences have been merged into a dc termination to give a cheerful and energetic sup port to the nominee of the Convention, so that no fears need be entertained of the enemy not•mcet ing with an unbroken line on our part in October next. The leaders of the Locefoco party seem al ready to be disturbed with sundry unmistakeable apprehensions of coming disaster, and hence the virulence with which their presses have commenced the assault on Gen. Irvine and Mr. Patton. Well assured of the disaffection that exists among them selves and resting all their hopes of triumph on the prospect of a similar state of things in oun ranks it is not be surprising that the singular exhibi tion of harmonious and united action on the part of the Whigs should strike terror and alarm into the midst of the camp of our opponents, or that they should give vent to their irritable feelings in fierce and malignant assaults upon those whose election they may regard as altogether too pro bable. It is gratifying, tno, to observe the warm feeling expressed so generally by the Whig press in behalf of the worth, ability and popularity of Mr. Cooper, especially by those whose preferences, under the peculiar circumstances, were for another candidate. The folowing from the Butler Whig, a zealous Ir vin paper, may be taken as a sample of the many articles, penned in a similar spirit, that reach us almost every day : But how shall we express our admira tion of the noble and patriotic conduct of Mr. Cooper himself? When the nomina tion of Gen. Irvin was announced to him, he promptly declared his acquiescence in the will of the majority, and expressed a determination, now as ever, to devote , ' his whole energies to the service of the party and the success of the Tariff candidates and Tariff'principles in the ensuing con test. We expected this from Mr. Cooper. His uniform fidelity to ,the Whig cause, and a knowledge of the distinguished ser vices which.. he has rendered in behalf of the men and the measures oldie party, sa tisfied us that, on the present occasion, he would be one of the very first to enter the lists in behalf of his successful competitor, and the result has proven that we were not mistaken. Neither can we be mista ken in the belief that this day Mr. Cooper stands higher in the affections and confi dence of the Whig party than he has ever done before, and that his patriotic conduct has secured to him troops of friends, who .will prove faithful through evil and through good report. The claiths of Mr. Cooper have'only been postponed.' On a future .occasion • the Whigs of the Commonwealth 4.-the friends of Gen Irvip among the fore most—will rally around Him as their cho sen leader, and will elevate 'him to the highest honors within the eft 0f,4 gralrfizl ratty: The .New from the .AKony, In to-days paper, furnishes a beautiful cowmen taty on the inexcusable blunder committed by Presi dent Polk in furnishing a passport to Santa Anna and his officers by which the latter were enabled to throw themselves at the head of a large Mexican force, and again endanger the gallant little army un der Gen. Taylor. The intelligence will tell its own story. The heroic Taylor, ordered by the Administration to advance with but 5000 inch in the face'of a powerful and well drilled, enemy, is attacked under fearful odds, and driven back to Sal tillo, and possibly to Monterey ! His lines of com munication with the different points in his rear are broken up by the enemy, who have thrown them selves in large numbers between Monterey and Camargo, and the whole Cr)u rift, is involved in the most intense anxiety to know the fate of the brave men thus recklessly exposed to unnecessary danger. Our con6dence in Taylor would fain lead us to be lieve him equal even to this new emergency; but there are limits where heroism the most brilliant must fail in its efforts, and we confess that we fear for the result. Be the result, however, what it may, the situa tion of Gen. Taylor in Mexico is one which ought and will arrest the attention of every American who loves the fame of men that have done honor to their country. "The history of the U. States," says the U. S. Gazette, "scarcely furnialies an instance of military skill, superior to that evinced by Gem Taylor during his command in Mexico. lie has displayed his science, by The adoption of means and evolutions suited to the circumstances of the country, and the peculiar character of the people; and while he was supplied with men and munition, and was allowed to feel himself a commander, with the good wishes and sympathies of the Government as well as the people of his country, he evinced easterly spirit and skill that never failed of produ cing a corresponding effect upon the enemy, and of exciting the confidence and admiration of the country. But most unfortunately, the admiration of the people formed a cause of envy-in the Presi dent, and his immediate attendants, as great as did to Saul, the shouts and greetings by which the people of Israel hailed the prowess and success of the gallant David. Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of Thousands," shouted the Is raelites, and the "Lord's annointer - felt the crown trembling on his head, and it filially pass( d from the trembling, envious King, to the man who so gallantly fought his battle, "no son of his succeed ing." With oval envy, with equal political jeal ousy, have the powers at \Va.•hington listened to the honest, heartfelt gratulations of the people, and the expression of their grateful enthusiasm at the noble effats of Taylor, efforts that have excited the admiration of the most accomplished commanders of Europe, and - probably from the same apprehen- Loroforo We will not follow the parallel further, though perhaps the persecutions which David - suffered at the hands of Saul might be quoted ; but we have to do with men and events of another age. Gen. Taylor has been left in a pusitson too much ex posed, not to excite a suspicion that something more than a belief that he was safe, or that troops wprp more wanted elsewere, has suggested the or der under which he has been mating and acting; and so strong is this impression, that the people will hold to a fearful accountability the adminis tration of the country, if the apprehensions for the late of the gallant General should be in any con siderable degree realized. The question. of the cause of the war was, for a time, merged in the glory which Gen. Taylor was acquiring for the nation; and for a day or two, the people even committed the mistake of imputing to the admin istration a part of the credit which the army un der Taylor was acquiring; but the spirit of jeal. ousy so soon manifested itself ut 'Washington, that the mistake was not .perpetuated; and now thS people ask why Gen. Taylor has been kept in a position so unworthy his fame, and his former ser vices? They feel that his command has been made any thing hut creditable to him, and they are becoming satisfied that there is at the bottom of all this wrong, a petty jealousy flt Washington, which would rather see Taylor defeated, broken down as a commander, and the country injured thereby, than to endure the consequence of his continued success. There are many points in the experience of Taylor within a few months, that strongly resemble the vexatious and melancholy experience of Sir John Moore, who commanded the English army in the Peninsular war of I SOS. 'We have neither time nor space to present the parallels, but we would refer our readers to the history of that great Scotch General's troubles, the miserable vexations to which he was exposed, and the result of those har• assing , unnecessary obstacles, which deprived him or the victories he might have achieved, and kept from his brow the last laurel leaf which fame was preparing for his chaplet. "Illustrious Moore, by foe and famine pres , , Yet by each soldier's proud affection blest." Those who are conversant with the history of the first poi Lion of the peninsular war, and have looked into the situation of affairs with Gen. Tay lor, since his victory at Monterey, will see how a like is the imbecility, impertinent meddling, and miserable jealousy, which destroyed Moore, and which is now used to injure Taylor. It may be - that Gcn. Taylor will escape the enare set for him ; that having derived new glory from the attacks of tyenemies of his country, he may be able to rise superior to the enemies of his own fame. The fate of Sir John Moore—we allude not so ninth to his - death, as to the vexatious negligence and impertinent interference which caused his misfortunes 7 --must be kept 4view; and the peo cle must inquire why the herb'of . Palo Alto and Resica de la Palma must be exposed to similar annoyanzes,—why he, too, must find' a Cotunna when in the discharge of duties." LATEST FROM TAYLOR.—Last night's mail brought no intelligence calculated to relieve the anxiety, respecting Gen. T;llor's fate. The southern mail failed below Petersburg, Va., which leaves us without . any additional news from the South. The Washington Union publishes the last official despatches received from Taylor by the War Departnient. Both are from Ague Nuova, (about 20 miles beyond Saltillo,) one dated Feb. 7, and tho other Feb. 14. Gen. Taylor says Gen. L:cott bad air i:. ( c.l him to abandon :ialtillo and to fall back on Montemy; but that he thought it Ivo. tn advance to Agua Nueva, where., if properly sup ported by the Government, he would be mate, and be in a position to hold the enemy in check, and possibly make a diversion in favor of Scotts opera tion at Vera Ciuz.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.-. 4 Mother and Five Children burned to Death.—We have mentioned that the dwelling of Mr. Augustus Holdridge, in the village of North Blenheim. New York, was consumed by fire on Monday night week, and his wife and five children perished in - the flames.— It seems that Mr. Holdridge escaped with his' youngest child, a boy about six years of age ; and a daughter, aged 19, saved her self; though frightfully burned, by leaping through a door or window. The mother was twice seen outside of the burning building, but the desire to save her children, it is supposed, proMpted her to rush back into the flames, front which she was unable to return. CULLEN'S PANACEA—We would call the attention of the afflicted to the Certifi cate of MRS. BRANCH in another column of thiti paper. Astonishing as is this Case of Scrofula, pamphlets containing certifi cates of Cures quite. as .remarkable, may be had of Mr. Buent.Ea, agent for this place. These certificates are not gotten up-for-effect, but the truth, may be ascer tained by calling upon the persons, or ad dressing them by post.
