 LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MExIco.-By the arrival at New.Orleans Sunday of the schoon- | CT Sarah Ann, Capt. Davidson, from Tampieo, la- Ter Mexican has been received. She brings advices from Tampco the morning of the 18th and fro the city of Mexico 10 the 4ll inst. The Bee and Tropic, however, publish letters from their Tam pco correspondents, dated l4th inst stating that an express had just arrived bringing accounts from the capitol up to the 9th. which mention that desperate battle ad been fought the plains ol Appan be. tween Santa Anna side, and Bravo and Par edes on the other. ending in the total of the former, who was shortly after captured in trying to make his escape. Five hnnd ed men are reported to have been killed, and Gen. Paredes had been de- spatched by Bravo in pursuit of the routed trool of Santa Anna Bravo himself, was on the march back to the city of Mexico with his august prisoner
 
 Tine news oi this battle is somewhat doubtful; al 'ny rate there must be some error in the date Capt Day dson says that he sailed from Tampico on Mon. lay morning, the 18th, and made i95 miles that day by the log. He further states that the mail came in from Mexico on Sunday the l2h, and that the latest news il brought from Mexico was 10 the 4th He 'ke~ise spoke with his consignee the morning he sailed, who assured him that there was no later news in town. The letter announcing the battle says news to the 9th had been received by express from Mexi- c'. Cipt Davidson himself puts no confidence m this. We have means ourselves of forming a Y opinion the subect It is certain that an action was anticipated, and had it been known in Mexico he morning of the 9h that one had actually taken place, it might have been expressed to Tampico by the day the Sarah Ann sailed On the other hand, i, had been received in Mexico as early as the 3rd, that battle had been fought on the plains of Appan, with precisely the results as are men. toned in he express letter. but the Mexican editors their papers of the 4,h total, dscredit ihen The reader will form his opinion in the premises"
 Capt. Davidson informed the editors that alihnuth Santa Anna was contending against such vast odds his situation not deemed in Tamplco 10 be utter y desperate, It was reported there tl,at his advance upon Puebla was hailed with joy by lhe cit- zens. This again must be deemed but ruaor
 It is stated that an express rider between Vera Cruz and Mexico had been taken by Santa Anna, and bynis orders had received 200 ashes, from the effects of which il was thought he must die. The atrocities of the yrant. in checking the nsubordna- lion of hls troops and in levying contributions for
 their support upon the villages and towns are repre- sented characlerissally heartless and shock ing ,o humanity.

He declared on his honor and before God that tue wealth he possessed was the re. su oi hIs own irugality and economy; that he was the faithful servant of the laws, etc. etc !; that he had fought and bed, and been initiated in the de- fence of llheriy and he called upon them To adhere to hun until order was agaIn restored.

 Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm of the cni. zens m the Capitol, in making prepara ms for it's defence. Men of the highest rank enrolled them selves as solders-their wives and daughters offer Ins every means io succor and attend on the wound- ed, m case oi bombardment, or other mode of at tack. It appears, however, very doubtful if Santa Ann, will approach the Capitol, the ou nalists af- hrn that he cannot Paredes was exl ected every hour al the Lead of 1000 men -he left Guereraro for the Capitol on the lst instant.-who joined 10 the garrison of the city. independent of volunteers, would be more than match for the rmy of the Die iator.
