Loss of the 1ru1ton The Washington
Union says:-"This disaster did not result
as some have supposed, from any misplaced
confidence in the Scotch captain whom he had
on board, but from the peculiar character Of
the coast. He first anchored off The bar in
five faihom water. Intending to send his
boats the next morning, he desired to get
nearer shore for their protection, and found
that he nigh. safely anchor in three and half
faihoms. 10 attempting to drop the brig into
tina. water, (under jb and spanker,) she
was lost. He was on the forecasle looking
out, with the lead heaving constantly. Deep
four having been called. he supposed the
next cast would give him the desired sound
ings instead Of which 'quartef less three was
called. Instantly seeing his peril, he ordered
the sails TO be loosed. TO back her off. The
mainop was hos,ed and aback, when she
struck. The sails were then taken in, the
weather anchor dropped, the vessel lightened
by throwing overheard shot, and pumping out
water; and the iarges. kedge was got out
astern, for The purpose of keeping her from
forging further ahead. But these and all
other efforts failed and the boats were unable
to live 10 the surf alongside. The launch was
stove by the force of The breakers. The two
cutters were with Lieuts. Hunter and Berry
man. Thus situated, with no chance TO save
the vessel--exposed 10 the elements, and
with prospect Of destruction to all in case
of gale or even if heavy squall came on
them assistance if he would surrender with
his officers. men and vessel. He refused at
that time to surrender the vessel. but the fol
lowing day felt himself compelled to accept
the offer.

Gen. Taylor crossed the San Juan on the

for Seralvo, where the forces under Worth had
halted. Hays regiment would leave China,
and take up the line Of march for the same
place, so as 10 reach there about the same
time with Taylor.
In the advance of Gen. Taylor in the interi.

any emergency, either in advance or retreat,

on their backs. In consequence Of this
number of steamers had reached Matamoras
freighted down with extra baggage, the quar-
tel Of the sapadores was literally crammed
with it. All The supplies so far have been
sent of by pack mules, and the General ex.
poets to have thirty days provisions for l2,-
900 men at Seravo when he reaches il, where
IL is generally believed he will remain for some
length of time. and many think until further

Gen. Taylor believes, notwithstanding the
news he has received Of the advance Of Mex-
lean force between San Luis Potosi and Sa.t;l.

Sattillo, without meeting any opposition.
An express was received at Camargo, on
the 9th inst. from Gen Worth, stating that he
had received Information that Gen. Ampudia
had arrived at Monterey, with about 5000
troops. which would increase the force of that
place to upwords Of 1000 men. Some doubts
of the authenticity Of the news were expressed
at Maamoras. as we learn by letters we have
received thence; but we see no reason 10 doubt
II. The Mexican papers have announced that
he had been appointed TO the ''command of
the army OF the North" and uniformly men
ton Monterey as the point at which The troops
are TO b. concentrated. One letter we have
seen sets down the force with which Ampudia
entered Monterey at from 5000 10000 men
II adds. that he had issued proclamation pro-
hibling all intercourse between the Mexicans
and American army under pain of death.
