SUN OFFICII, NEW YORK, APRIL 6, II A.m.—The fine
fine steamship, Southerner, Captain Berry, arrived at nine
o'clock this morning, 60 noun from Chsrleaton, within an

(Correspondence of the Picayune.)
CallisSlXAßVEßaClez,Manchl3,ArrEKNOOM.—There
was some slight skirmishing yesterday afternoon and last
evening, and before daylight tliis morning a general
alarm in camp, as the Mexicans opened their different
batteries and commenced throwine shells from the castle ;
yet it am ,unted to but little. The enemy evidently ex.
yeeted a general attack, as they threw up rockets, fire-
balls, Bc., completely lighting up the sand-hills and chaparal
around the walls. During the night a reinforcement of
800 Mexicans passed into the city, taking the beach north of
General Twiges's CORlMatid, which had not at that time
fully completed the investment. Their safe arrival within
the walls was announced by loud shouts, the ringing of bells,
and other rejoicings. In • few hours longer they would not
have got in so oily. Our lon in the affair of the 11th was
seven slightly wounded.
(From the New York Herald of April 15.)
The cutter Ewing, Moore, arrived at New Orleans, on
the 28th ult., from Vera Cruz, with four days later intelli-
gence, that vessel having sailed on the 17th. The news of
Taylor's victory at Buena Vista was received at Vera Cruz
on the 16th, and created great rejoicing among the army.
Owing to the rough weather, only a portion of the heavy
artillery intended for the attack had been landed when the
Ewing left. General Scott had given the foreign re-
sidents notice to leave the town, and they had generally
gone on board the foreign vessels of war off the port. Many
citizens of Vera Crux are in favour ef: an early capitulation,
but the military violently opposed any movement of the
kind. It was reported by the foreign residents, that several
citizens had been shot for propping the surrender, although
few doubt that our troops will carry the place in • short
time. _
_ . . .

The firing from the city and castle was continued, but has,
so far, been kinoless.
The report of the re-rapture of Midshipman Rogers wu
premature, he being, unfortunately, still a prisoner.
Nothing had transpired of any importance, eubeequent to
the previous accounts.
THE NEWS FROM GENERAL TAILOR.—The steam-ship
Telegraph arrived tt New Orleans the same morning, from
Brazos Santiago, which she left on the 23rd ult.
No positive intelligence had been received frem Gen. Tay-
lor's camp later than that brought by Lieut. Crittenden; but,
from the best information that could be obtained, it appears
that Santa Anna hai retired to Matehula, where he was en-
deavouring to collect forces.
An officer arrived at the Brazos from Matamoras just as
the Telegraph was casting off, with information that General
Taylor had arrived at Ceralvo, with a thou/and cavalry, in
pursuit of Urrea, who fled in the direction of Victoria as
soon as he heard of Taylor's approach.
The communication between Csinargo and Monterey was
