Some of these mien, abjuring their errors and
following the noble impulses of their hearts,
hails passed over to our army to defend our
justleause. From these, his Excellency the
President formed the Foreign Legion, known
under the name il ti ole Ctmipany ofSt. Pat

they bore themselves with the highest intre

cartridges, they Were made prisoners.
.The generals of theAmerican•Army, who
cannot count upon their soldiers in a war so
inianitious save through the influence °facts
offerocity, were ' determined to shoot these
Irishmen. Scarcely was this known in this
. city, before every breast was filled with, hor
ror at the thought. Ilis Excellency, the Min

private individuals, both Mexicans and for

had no share whatever in the slaughter
which was made the day before yesterday
upon the heights lof the King's Mill. , Well,
then, will'vou believe it, my countrymen, '
this day, in cold blood, theCaribs, from
an impulse of superstition, ml after the
sl i
manner of savages as prac tsed in . the
days of Romer, have hung up these men as
a-holocaust—they have themselves said it—
to the manes of die general or generals who
there fell ! And in what manner dad they
hang them ? Noosing them by the neck as
they stood upon the ground, and; so suspend
ing them that they died " by inches," stran
gled by their own weight, the mode adopted
being such that their hOrrible agony lasted
more than one hour. A spectaele worthy of
stitch men, or rather of demous escaped from
bell? This they -did With eighteen of these
unhappy men, and among them the brave
Capt. Riley, whine head they stuck upon a
pike and planted at Cherubusco. To six
others, who proved that they had not volun
teered but been' impressed, (they gave two
hundred. lashes each, : and compelled them

Extracts from a letter from 'Vera ruz,
dated 'Sept. 26;1847 :
Yesterday I jaw a letter from a Mexican,
in Mexico, dated the 18th lust., which said
that. General Siinta Anna had left the city
with 1500 cavalry fur Noce ; that hei had
delegated his powers its President to Senor
Penn y Penn and two of the Judges of the
Supreme Court. Last evening, howeikr, to
our surprise, we heard by letters Irom J alnpn
that' Santa Anna had reached Puebla! with
2000 cavalry, and that Col. Childs, who lies
command of the forts 'above the city, lied
commenced bOmbarding, and had throw'n
300 shells into the city. This, sir, is the
strange news we - received last evenings from
Jalapa. My own opinion is—and 1 nin not
alontlint Gen. Santa Anna is endeavoring
to make his way to the seacoast to embark,
or was oh his . way to °alike ; fur with so
small a force he could not think to cut off
the ieiniiikcements to Gen. Scutt.
