FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE News BY
THE PRINCETON. The New Orleans Pcayune
contains some further items of news from Mexi-
co, received by the Princeton. The Picayune
says:
Our correspondent writes that Gen Paredes
mad not LETT the city of Mexico for the Army of
Wv 4'Sibh' IAC uCeH ueIeTTGu from puFSu-
ing his original purpose, by apprehensions that
revolution might break out upon his depar-
ture. 1t was the opinion of men of sense on all
hands that such would be the case. And we
think it may fairly be presumed from the de-
tentlon of Paredes that he has not vet suppress
ed the Instructions in Jalisco and other De-
partments, which it would be unsafe to leave
raging behind him.

follows:
The Princeton, Potomac and Cumberland
had an engagement with the enemy on the
days of the Sth and 9th July, wherein we had
not a single man hurt badly. The only da-
mage done was one man struck by spent ball
in the shoulder. The Mexicans had eight or
nine wounded and three killed. By their ac-
count OF the skirmish, you will see that they
state our loss to be one officer killed and sohe
sixteen men wounded. They yarn most con-
foundedly, as was present when the Captain
OF the Princeton gave an account of it to our
Captain, and he said he had only one man hurt,
as have said before.
The Mexlcalls mention also their capturing
| our baggage and great deal of amunlton.-
why, we had no baggge on shore; but, any,
! how, we got what we went for-as much wood
and water as we wanted, and then we come
back to this anchorage. But the worst of the
whole business is this, that this confounded
steamer being SO large and unwieldy, we had
to remain at anchor here looking on calmly at
three fellows fighting away like good fellows,
and it will always be the case as long as we
don't attack the Castle, for then we have the
consolation of knowing that the Commodore
won't be able to do without our big guns; and
we shall be in the thickest of fight.

| The proposed movement OF Gen. TAYLOR
upon Monterey was we'll known in all parts of
Mexico. Letters from Monterey represent that
the inhabitants of that city were much alarmed
at the prospect, as they possessed very slight
means Of defence. All the accounts represent
that the Army of the North formerly under
Arsta, but at present under Mejia, was concen-
! trated at Linares to the number of 1000. pa
per from the city Of Mexico devotes labored
article to prove that it cannot be the intention
OF Gen. Taylor to penetrate to Monterey, d.
rectly, leaving his force to operate upon his
hank and rear. 1t considers the command of
Mella quite sufficient, considering the strength
OF Llnares and the natural difficulties of the
country, to hold Gen Taylor in check, or to
harass him upon the march, so that ample
time will be afforded to take up second and
more solid line of defence.
The following is the address Of Gen. Arista
to the troops of the Division of the North:
Comrades: My honor and that of all of you
has been affected by the result of the disastrous
action of the 9th of May; it becomes my duty
to demand an inquiry which will clear up my
conduct, and in communicating to the Govern
ment an account of recent events, earnestly
demanded such an investigation.
My demand has been listened to, and am to
respond for my acts to council of war.
The honor of the generals, officers and SOL
diers on the one hand, the notoriety of the
events on the other, and more than all the in
ward conviction possess of having done with
honor and zeal everything which became a
man of resolution to do, make me eager for my
vndcaton; it will then be seen if my efforts
have been worthy to be appreciated by my
compatriots.
With sensibilty and profound sorrow | de-
part from you; because my heart is filled with
the most intense desire to fight without ceasing
the unjust enemies of my country.
be assured, comrades, that you will never be
forgotten by your best friend,
MARIANA ARIsTA.
Linares, June A, lS46.
report was received in Mexico about the
middle of June from Vera Cruz, that both Gen.
TABOR and Commodore Connor had been re-
caH6d by the Government of the United States;
the first, for having exceeded his instructions,
and the second, upon his own request to be re-
lleved. The Mexicans were too shrewd to be-
lieve any such stuff. Another report had it that
Gen. Taylor had recrossed the Rio Grande and
encamped near Point Isabel with l0, 900 troops,
but Canales keeps the enemy too well informed
of our operations for this rumor to obtain any
credence.
