LATEST FROM VERA Cnuz.—The Washington Union contains the following additional items of intelligence from Vera Cruz: Gen: Scott had despatched a detachment to Alvarado, to collect mules, horses and. beeves. The village Medellin, ten miles front Vera Cruz, in the direction of Al varado, had recently been occupied by our troops, had quietly submitted, and met with the most liberal treatment on the part of our troops. The inhabitants of Alvar ado will probably, animated by this exam ple, be willing to furnish their animals for American gold, instead of having them ta ken from them by forcible contributions. Two days after Col. Totten left Vera Crtz, the general expected to send on his advance towards the capital. He will push on to that point, as soon as he obtains the necessary \ transportation, and as rapid ly as he can. Ile leaves no hostile foe behind him. No very formidable opposi tion is expected at Puente Nacianale, (Na tional Bridge, 30 miles from Vera Cruz,) nor even at Jalapa, (08 miles.) The Gen eral will push on to the healthy table land between the bridge and Jalapa ; we presume, unless unexpected obstacles occur, to the capital. It was said that Gen. Vega had two or three thousand cavalry with him, on the road to Mexico. One problem is, will there he any gov ernment at Mexico capable \ of making peace; for, as the condition of things now stand in Mexico, there may be greater dif ficulty in finding an executive to treat for peace than for them to carry on the war. From the New Orleans Picayune, April 4 Later from the Brazos. The U. S. transport , schooner Sarah, Capt. Eldridge, arrived from the Brazos, whence she sailed on the 20th ult.—three days later than our former advices. A mong her passengers is Major Ben M'Cul loch, of the Texas. Rangers. Gen. Taylor arrived at Monterey on the oth of March with the Ist Mississippi Ri fles and the Kentucky Cavalry as an es cort, and from an article in the American Pioneer (a' paper published at„Monterey) we infer that he was yet there on the 15th. What day he left.Mcptcrey we arc riot in formed, but all accounts agree that. he was in pursuit- of Gen. Urrea. We extract TIIF. CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS. -A recent letter from 31atarnolas to the N. V. Catholic Magazine expresses a fear that one of the Catholic chaplains in the army has helm .niurtlered in 'Mexico. It says— "Father MTlroy, the worthy chaplain appointed to the American army, is here, and has won golcen opinions from all classes and distinctions. The venerable man is in excellent health, and constantly occupied in doing good. Father Ray left Monterey on the 16th of January tilt. for this city, and has not been heard from since. He either has been murdered or is a prisoner with the Mexicans. I hope lie may be . in the latter position ; yet I must confess I fear the for mer to have been his fate.'' Santa Anna,.ißaddressing a letter to the Governor of Coahuila, says lie had three times won the battle of Buena Vista, but that Gen. Taylor was such a stubborn old Yankee that he did not know when he was whipped. SANTA ANN A•- ill our news from the Brasos we mention the arrival of Santa Anna, on the Bth ult. at San Luis Potosi, with a remnant of his army. Mr. Kendall in one of his letters speaks of him as hav ing subsequently reached the capital of Mexico, where it is said he has joined the Church party, and is disposed for peace. This intelligence Mr. Kendall received through the foreign fleet at Vera Crux, and it is probably true in so far ag the whereabouts of Santa Anna is concerned: nor is it improbable that he has become disgusted with lighting.—N. 0. Picayune. The total loss of the U. Stacts army in the recent battle between Gen. Taylor and Santa' Anna, is 891—of whom 293 were killed, 482 wounded, and 20 missing. k [By request of tho Y. S. A. S.

Tim Fall of Vera Cruz. ll_ rWe devote a large space in to-day's paper to the details of the brilliant triumph of the A merican Arms under Gen. Sewm in the reduction and capture of Vera Cruz and the retiowyed Castle of San hum d' Ulloa. Whether we regard the govatnes of the undertaking that has been so site cesisfully accomplished. and the important results that must follow in its train. or the singularly small sacrifice of American life with which the victory was purchased. me cannot but regard it as THE triumph of the present War, and one which cannot Gel to ent..vine fresh laurels in the chap let that al re v encircles the blow of Niagaia% ored C6ica.riu. The National Intelligencer v.ell de scribes it as ' a t ictory which has shed a clowning lustre on the military annals of our country.— The fortified city of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan d Ulloo, one of the strongest fort rose's in the world have surrendered to the American forces under Major General -AV N Ern ! , e , Although the Aaracterof that veteran and distin guished commit trader. the sr rength and good ofilwi"l nrient of his force„ and the admirable judgement, combination. and vigor with which his prelimina ry measures had been taken. diad inspired the strongest hopes of his ultimate sucesss, yet we were hardly prepared for a triumph so iirom pt. so brilliant, so comilete, and, above all, with so little sacrifice nit our side.

Flom the comments of the press we will inake hut a single extract, and that from the N. V.

If we take unto consideration the quiet preparation and equipment of this powerful fleet and army ; their almost simultaneous arrival from ditli•rent quarters at the seat of action ; the skil ful disembarkation of twvlve thousand men without the smallest accident ; the investment of the city, and the speedy surrender of one of the strongest castles in the world to our livers, which had lost only sisty•fiye men, the enterprise from first to last will stand forth in the history of modern nations unrivalled in the skinniness ul'• ik management or the completeness of its success."
