From carefperusal Of al the accounts from
the seat Of war, think we are not far out o. the
way, in coming tshe conclusion, that severe con-
aic is in reserve hween the opposing armies' lNo
man now doubts ,out the disposition and determl-
nation Of the Mepans to fight. If they do. not re-
sst us hereafter, Twill be because they have changed
their tactics San Anna is now at the head OF the
Mexican Army, al will have taken profitable les
sons from the rests Of the contests OF Falo hl'o
| and Monterey. We have no fears OF a change o
fortune in their kor and against us, let them DO
what they may, 70 General Taylor is equal to any
emergency. Butt should be borne in mind, that
Santa Anna comets himself to be the Napoleon OF
the Western Hemphere, and that vanity is tn
most conspicuous tit in his character It will not be
difficult for such aman to imagine himself equal TO
the task Of defeating the American General, and
hence we cannot rsist the conclusion that he will
give battle 10 the Amy Of Invasion. AT what point
the resistance will ,e made, is Of course matter o.
conjecture, for Sana Anna's movements will neces-
sariIy be regulated " those Of Gen. Taylsr II our
Army moves uponSaltillo, predict the great bat
tie will take place at that town, or upon the roao
leading to it. The erumor about his concentrating
the Mexican forces at San Louis Potosi we consid-
or as mere ruse gueyve, as the sequel will show
But we repeat thai we have the utmost confidenc'
in Gen. Taylor's ,ieneralship, and if Santa Ann

MIssING VEssEL.--The brig Rebecca, of the por
Philadelphia, says the Ledger sailed her home
ward voyage from Port of Spain, Trinidad on th
9Th Of September last, since which time there ha
been tidngs of her. and the fears of those inter
ested that she has been lost at sea, and that al
on board have perished. There are hopes, however
that the crew and passengers may have been taker
off the wreck by an outward bound vessel, in which
way alone can the absence Of tidings from them b,
accounted for. 5y
The Rebecca was owned by Mr.. Michael Moloy
whose son was on board as second mate. II is alst
understood that there were about fifteen passengers
principally natives of the Island Of Trinidad.
The Rebecca having sailed on the 9th of Septem

vailed the l4th, l5h and 9th of the same month
