Sir Hugh Cough commanded in the
battle on the part Of the English; the
Governor General, Sir Henry Har-

bearing the second command. Eng

for want Of skill and management in
the field, and attribute the victory to
the unhinching irmness of the British
soldiery when it came to the use Of
the bayonet. The action commenced
on the 18th December, languished

on the 2lst, and was concluded on the

We learn from Washington, that accounts have
been received by our government. of later date
than any which yet have appeared and the intelli-
gence 10 OF the most important character, as to the
negotiation Of our relations with Mexico.
BY this news, it appears that the government Of
Paroles has refused to acknowledge Or receive Mr..
Slidel, our Minister to Mexico. On this refusal
being known, Mr.. Slidell asked for his passports.
This was refused. He then insisted on being al.
lowed an escort to Vera Cruz, which, it appears
was granted. In a short time, it may be expected
that the United States having failed entirely in its
mission to Mexico will have to resort to some other
alternative.
1t IS also stated, but less competent authority.
that the Mexican Government have organised an
army OF considerable force, to proceed to the Rio
Grande The rumors, hitherto, relative to counter
revolution, by Arista, are now contradicted alto
gether. II seems doubtful, however, whether this
new expedition upon Texas is merely paper expe-
dinon, or not.
In the mean time, our government has not been
idle. We understand from Washington, that there
is now assembled in the Gulf Of Mexico, or will be,
in short time, one Of the largest fleets ever sent
out by the United States, upon any occasion. 1t
will consist Of three frigates and two steamers,
and other smaller vessels, which will number in
all 275 guns, with force of $500 men. The army
ordered to march to the mouth of the Rio Graude,
and if the news is correct it will be marched under
able preparations, so as to bring Mexico to terms
in short time.
The belief is, that British intrigue now pre-
walls at Mexico, and is at the bottom Of all these
belligcrent movements.
