one.of the most obstinate nature.Mab'dnortuntil steel crossed steel did thedyve way:The second -division of regulars-;underGen.

plish it. The Brigade immediately -underthe command of the undaunted "Harney,regardless ofeverything but victory,inarch-ed up the ascent to Cerro-Gordo amid thedeath-dealing volleys of the enemy: nor

stopped or faltered until the enemy were

driven in dismay from their works, andthe Stripes and Stars of otr'glorious landwaved in triumph from the enemy's bat-tlements.

Col. Riley, with the second brigade ofregulars, rendered great service in thefight.and added to the reputation he already en-

joyed-that where work was to be done,he was to be found.

Gen. Pillow with his brigade, made a

gallant charge upon a fortification of theeqemy, but from its strength-being as-ststed" by a fort on the left and right, hewas foreed to give way, after suistaininig aheavy loss, and before he could renew theattack, the enemy had surrentiered.When we contemplate victories lhke this

the defeat of the Mexicans, Mich is invar-iable, is accounted for andI attempted to be

REMONSTRANCE OF THE-AMEfiLCAN PRISONERS IN .MEXICO.CASTLE ST. JAGO, (City of Mexico)

M'arch 24th, 1547.To his Excellency Gen. Santa Anna :

Sir-The undersigned officers in the Atmy of the U. States of America, respectfully state to your Excellency,. that the;together with their respective commandconsisting of seventy one persons in albecame prisoners of war to the MexicaRepublic at tte'Hacienda Enearnation o

the24th January last. On that mprninbefore day light, we found ourselves sutrounded by a large force-say three thousand men, and about sun rise a white fibapproached us on one side and a considerable force on another; we required thethat the troops should retire, precedent t

receiving our flag, whichbeing compliewith the flag approached and a surrendedemanded. We took one hour to determine whether we would entertain a position of the kind or not; at the expiratilof the hour the flag returned, and we answered that we would hear a propositionand were told that Gen. Minon would sena: major-to our camp, while one of ou

number of equal rank should repair.to hihead quarters and hear his offer. This being done, Major Gaines rode out to thGeneral, had a conference of about on

houi with him, returned to the Haciendand in the presence.df an inierpreter oeach side, stated'the terms offered, whicrwere accepted, 'and between .eleven antwelve 'oc ion

terms to writing,gaveus the most positivassurances that, his word of honor wa

worth more than three or four signaturesand. that unless his agreement was fullcarried out, he would abandon the servicof his country. On our journey to thi.place, we had the gratification to met

your Excellency. and after stating to yothe terms of ourcapitualation, received atsurance that they should be corplied WitiThe object of this note is to complai

to the Head of thq Mexican Republic, theso far from the terms of our capitulatiobeing complied with, we have been frequently subjected to the most grevious deprivations, and athat we have refrainefrom making our protest hitherto in consequence of the unhappy diseussion said 1exist in the capital-which being now foitunately adjusted, as we are informed, wmost respectfully call your attentionour condition..We forbear at this timefrom entering ir

Vega, who has lately been a prisorer of' war in the United States, (but whhas not honored us with any notice whaever,) for the manner- in which prisuolof war are treated in our country.There is however one corrplaint whic

we owe to ourselves to call your immediatattention to. We are informed that GerMinon, in reporting our capture to his gcvernment, alleges that we surrendereddiscretion, and that weoweour lives totlimagnanimity of the Mexican Republie-Against such a statement we enter our sc

e From the N. 0. Picayune,May 2(7d LATER FROM GEN. SCOTT'S AhMY,ig It was not until yesterday that we wereI- placed in possession of the following let-e ters received here on Tuesday by the Ma-I- ry Kingsland. [t will be seen that .Mr.t. Kendall's letter is later than anythiig

heretofore received from Jalapa. while thea, letter from Vera Cruz gives a more defin-it ito accotint of the occurrences near thate city reported in our last .upon verbal an-u thority.

The most interesting passage in Mr.Kendall's letter is that announcing thatMajors Borland and Gaines. Capt. Clayand the other officers taken in the North,together with Passed Midshipman Rogers,are at liberty in the city of Mexico. Thenext step is to insist upon th6 immediate

- release of the men who were takediwith- Major Gaines.

Mr. Kendall's remarks upon a peaces party in Mexico will attract attention. He, has facilities for forming an opinion on the

subject which the newspapers affprd us. tiWere we to rely upon the latter alone we-;should form ajudgment very different from I

- our associate, but we do not doubt at all t-that he has access to sources of information tfar better than our own.

VaRA CauZ. May 13. 1847.I Gentlemen-A band of about 200 Mexi-

cans has been prowling about the mount-I ed riflemen's camp. four miles from this jr place, two nights in succession. and last

night the men were aroused twice by theapproach of Mexicans.I Early ibis morning our gallant Captain IWalker started out to give them battle and

ihad a nice little skirmish, killing four ofIthe enemy by the time my informant, an I

r officer of the Rifles, left, and he represents ji Walker a long.way ahead of the scene of C

the first brush, following them up.. I guesss the enemy will find that they have got hold Ia of the wrong chap before Capt. W. has I

-JALAFA,. May 11, 1S47.- Since the diligencia went otrt at noon to-

pay for Vera Crui, another diligencia has it come in from the city of Mexico full oft passengers, and bringing news of nota lit- ii tie importance. Among the passens.ers- was Mr. Kennedy, who, after being badly- treated here about the istof April, was:I driven to the city of Mexico. I

All the passengers confirm what I wrote Io you this morning. They say that at the '

capitol there was no Government,, no or- -ia der, no responsibility-all was anarchy. Ia Anaya was still President pro' lerp., but1

had neither influence nor authiority. 'A- new Presilent isto be elected on tIre 15thd of the present month-the tentir Chiefa Mngistrate this distracted couttiu'y has had- within the last eighteen months.' 'I cannoto stop to count them all up, but such is fact.- Tihe ladrones-guerrillas I suppose theya should be called now-are busy at 'work"r

upon the roads, especially betwveen "Tab-h bla and the city of Mexico. The same

o passengers were robbed the other day no.less than seven times in one stage, and theinference is that the last reobbers-must have

t had rather poor picking if the first wei-ee v*ry searching in their operatioris.' "''he- diligencia in which Mr. Kennedy 'cam.

Do

rango, repels the charge that the intabi,tants of that State ate friendly disposectowards the Yankees, but speaks in nr

respectful terms of the Sovereign Congress. which, it says, withholds their armsand leaves them exposed to the ravagesof the Indians. 'The Savereign Co9.gress' further adde the same paper, 'taxeswithout number the Duranguenos to pamper the corruption and vices of the Cybarites who calumniate them.'The editor of the Defencor de Tamau-

lipas thinks the analogy botween the twoStates so'very strikir.g that he publishesthe- article above alluded to.A Mexican woman who was washing

at the lake ir Matamoros was lately acci-dentally killed by a Mfasseehusetts volan-teer, who was at the time shooting fowl.The woman was fully four hundred-yardsdistant from him when he discharged hismusket. The ball skipped upon the waterand hit the wamatr.The report has reached Matamoros that

the troops encamped at Palo Alto are tobe sent to Vera Cruz. The Flag cannotcredit it.

New Brigrade fruim Marytand-TheWashington Union copies the remarks ofthe Baltimore Sun, a few days since,relative to the tender of a new brigade ofvolunteers from Maryland, made by Gen,Smith, and its rumored acceptance, ac-

companying it with the following state-ment:We are satisfied that the administration

accept, at this time, an offer of tr wholebrigade from Maryland, highly as it isappreciated by the President and Secreta-ry of War. We understand Gen.

The patriotic sentimente of our courntry-men rise superior to' avery other conside-ration. Men press anxiousry upon theWar ofile for employment.
