that the loss he sustained is much less than at
first supposed that he striving by every
means in his power to restore the morale Of his
troops, terribly shaken the 9th. He adds
that General Vega was made prisoner, fighting val
iantly by his guns, and had refused to be ber-
ated on his parole not to fight against the Amer-
cans, since he, General ", declared that he was
bound to cooperate in the defence of his country.

$3.50 to the officers who accompanied him to New
Orleans before their departure He also authorized
him and his companions to draw on the supreme
government for their pay, monthly, which should
be reimbursed TO any commercial house which

FROM FORT LEAvENWORTH AND SANTA FE.
MEuCANs PREPARING FOR BArTLE.-We copy
the following from the st. Louis New Era of the
Goth instant:
The Radnor arrived yesterday from Fort Lsaven-
WORTH to which place she has carried a considerable
quantity Of military stores and supplies Capt.
Douglass states before he left Fort Leavenworth
Mr. Bransford arrived express from Brent's
Fort, on the Arkansas. He reports that Armljo had
been superseded governor of Santa F'e, and Gen.
Urea appointed in his place, and that the most Wig
orous steps were taken to prepare for war Of de-
fence and offence, that Notifications and military
preparations Of various kinds were going on; that
a draft was actively progressing in Santa Fe and
Chihuahua; and that every third man of the whole
population was taken.
the Indians were reported to be unfavorable to the
Americans, and the Mexicans relied much on their
aid. Gen Urea has despatched 300 troops to march
to Bent's Fort, and to meet Spier's company the
praries and conduct it into Santa Fe This the
company that was said to have taken quantity OF
arms and ammunition to Santa Fe, and in pursuit
of which Col. Kearney had sent the United States
dragoons. Mr.. Bransford states that it would be
mpossble for the dragons to overake them before
they would arrive at Santa Fe. Mr.. b. expressed
the opinion very confidently that before that tim,
Bent's Fort would be in possession of the Mexi
cans. He also states that Mr.. Bent, J. Folger ant
Francis Blair had gone to Chihuahua in the spring
and had been expected home moro than month
and their failures to arrive had created the impression
that they had been arrested and detained prison
| ers of war.
