says:
Private advices from the city of Mexico IN
TO 29th September inform US that Santa Anna
haa Ielt the capital on that morning with 1000
and 500 infantry. He was utterly unsuccess-
lol IN raising loan oftWo millions on "a mort
gage OF the revenues Of the Church, as the lien
was considered by capitalists illegal. He then
applied tor 5000, 900, but could merely obtain
p LoOO, whlch was the sum total with which
lie started.
Santa Anna proceeds TO San Luis Potosi
where he will halt, and concentrate the whoIe
of the Mexican forces instructions have been
forwarded to the general commanding the ar

at Saltillo, but to fall back upon San Luis Po-

A French barque, the Duviyier, slpped in

Sept.
Gen. Taylor received on the 10th the des
patches sent from Washington, sent previous
to the knowledge Of the capture of Monterey.
What they are, is not publicly known. Gen.
Taylor when asked, said the state of circum
stances here made them of little consequence.
from which, some infer his selfconfnement to
certain limits, has counteracted some scheme
oil the President and cabinet,
The last news had of Ampudia is, that he
with the army, have left Saltil!o and gone fur
Their into the interior. From all that we can
learn here, Santa Anna does not appear to be
firmly settled in power, and the withdrawal of
this army towards Mexico may be necessary to
effect some political purposes
The health of the troops is generally rood
here, and most ofour wounded are doing we'll.
My first guess as to our loss was close, and
would almost prove me 10 have been Yankee.
In my letter of the Goth of September it was
put down al 500; the official returns were not
then in-thy are now; and are - killed and
- wounded-total, 400.
A correspondent Of the Picayune writes as
follows
A mail which was sent from Camargo by
Mexican express rider for the army, about the
2lst ut.. and which, it is believed, contained
important dispatches for Gen. Taylor, besides
many private letters, was taken by the enemy
and conveyed to Ampudia, who received it on
the day of the capituation. Whether the
Mexican mail rider was killed, as is pretended,
or carried the mail of his own accord to Am
pudia, is not known; but certain it is that the
mail is in possession of the enemy. After the
Mexican army had retired to Saltillo, Gen.
Taylor hearing Of the loss of the mail, sent
messenger to Ampudia and requested him TO
return the private correspondence.
The self appointed postmaster general of our
Army replied, through a Mr.. Faullac, that a
mail had been taken and received by him, but
that he had, forwarded the bag to Santa Anna!
MIR. Faullac, however, hoped soon to have the
pleasure either of sending back he private cor
respondence or of bringing it in person. THE
accounts for many persons in the Army not re-
ceiving intelligence from home when they
know it was due.
