From the ~ o. Pieaynne Ertra, Mar. IL
Later from TalnpicO.

The schooner Home, Capt. Kenny, arrived
early this morning from Tampico, having lef
there on the 9Th inst She went outside the
bar day OF two earlier, but brings our letter.
TO the morning of the 9TH. G
Lieut.. G. Barry, of the 1st infantry, came
passenger on the Home. We learn from him
that all the troops intended for the South had
sailed from Tampco. A force of about 5000
men has been left to garrison Tampico, name.
ly, the Baltimore battalion, the Louisiana
volunteers under Col. DE Russy, and one com
pany of the Sd artillery under Lieut.. +. o.
Wyse. The whole force is under the CON-
mand Of Col. Gates, Sd artillery.
The two most important features Of the
news by this arrival are, first, the retreat OF
Gen Taylor upon Saltll, and Monterey with.
out general action and secondly a revolution
in Mexico, with the expulsion of Gomez Farias
from power.
The news of the retreat of Gen. Taylor rests
entirely upon Mexican reports.
The Mexican papers, however, say that Santa
Anna had cut off this retreat by interposing the
forces Of Gen. Minon and Torrejon.
The revolution in Mexico rests upon much
stronger grounds, and there can be no doubt
about it.
The Mexican Government has learned
through its consul AT Havana of the expedition
of Gen. Scott upon Vera Cruz. Troops were
accordingly ordered by the Government to
march at once from the capital to Vera Cruz,
but, as il chances, the body designated for this
duty and which was to move on the Goth un-
der Canalizo and La Vega, was involved to a
great extent in the revolt which broke out the
following day.
Vera Cruz has been fortified by digging a
ditch around it, and under the direction of
Gov Seto families have abandoned the city
and moved into the interior.
ID. Antonio Vizcayno has been appointed
Secretary of War-Canalizo resuming an ac-
tive military command.

Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser
WARRINGTON, Monday, March Goth.
Reported Surrender Of the Gas.
tie Of San Juan.
Letters and passengers from New
Orleans express distrust Of all the ru-
Inors, and consider Gen. Taylor still in
critical situation. Buh armies have
been 80 much crippled, as il would seem,
that neither can hold any communica.
ton or strike another blow--which il
truly an awful result Of a batile--and
one that scarcely ever happened before
That Gen. Taylor, with inferior forces
has been hemmed in by the enemy there
no doubt !; that he has had much fight.
ing TO do is probable. One letter from q
very intelligent source says that the ap-
prehensions felt by the writer as TO Gen
eral Taylor's true position are greater
than he would venture TO express, in
public.
There is a letter here from Mr.. Camp
bell, consul at Havana, saying that the
Mexicans gave up the Castle Of San
Juan, without a word or a blow. The
letter is addressed to the Secretary and
comes in due course of his dispatches. -
There is no doubt that the letter has
been received. As to its truth il is
problematical. II is almost too good TO
be true.

From Mexico, Direct.

The Savannah Republican, contains tn,
following as received from an officer of tn,
regular army, [Lieut. +. who was going pos
haste to Washington.
I" This officer left Monterey about the 20tl
or 2Ist ult our informant is not certain which
He had an escort Of nine men, and was be-
sieged in a stone house for "a hours by ran.
cheros, whom they beat off. II is a fact, he
says, that the communications are cut off, and
the enemy's cavalry and rancheros were
swarming in all directions. IL is true also
that orders had been transmitted to send nc
supplies without very strong escort.
II is feared that Captain James Irwin, of the
regular army, has been cut off. But at the
posts all was going on well, all were in good
spirits, and there was no cause for alarm or
apprehension. Lieut.. +, had seen, since he
left Monterey, letter from Gen. Taylor to his
son-in-l law, DR.. Wood, in which he says that
he was sixteen miles from Saltillo, with his
own and Wool's command, amounting to 3, 800
effective men, and he was retiring quietly on
Monterey.
His outEosts were constantly retrcating be-
fore the enemy's advanced guard, or what is
presumed to be an advanced guard Of some
20, 900 men commanded by Santa Anna
The men under Taylor were all in the high
est spirits and ready for conflict. The gen
cral himself, in the letter alluded to, says he
wants to get fair field for his artillery, and
that if Santa Anna wants to distinguish him
self, 'heW eire him a chance. " The batteries
of the regular artillery with Taylor are Wash
ington's, Webster's, Sherman's and Braggs
"a pieces.
There were at Monterey, our informant
says, full rations for 5000 men for 100 days,
which could be made to hold out nearly six
months in case of necessity Such is the sub
stance of the verbal statements made to US,
which may no doubt be confidently relied upon.

In conformity to the notice in our last

pleasant psssi0ne, viz-the winning her
Young hearts 6ra affections, and then
turning away, himself unmoved---wss
becoming indeed a real happiness, end
that hsckneyed as he was, his heart, o.
what there was left Of il, u he ever had
one, was no, proof against the charms Of
Emily .---Nisrrisge was theme on
which he never allowed himself TO dwell
--iime enough for a wife when he should
become gouty and old.
In this emergency between his love
for Emily and his rcpugnance TO the hy-
,nenial yoke, he sat himself down TO re-
feet coolly upon his situation. The fact
WAS he was in a dilemma, 10 him the
most vexatious. The fortune which in
his own righ, hand he had inherited, was
nearly all expended--ihe "old gentle.
man" Gas he sffec,iona,ely styled his ia
ih~r) had grown crusty, and now when
too late began to talk to his son Of " bu-
siness, o( 'doing something 10 support
himself" and refused 10 meet The very lib
cral demands made upon his purse. by
this means, MIR. Clifton Sutherland for
the first time in his life fel, the value OF
money. And money he must have
some plan must be devised to obtain II,
orchard alternative--ihe dearest pleas
ures of his existence must be renounced.
Tie could not give up horses--dogs--
theatres--oh no, better give up himself
the result, therefore, Of his lucubra-
tions was TO heroirally offer his hand 10
Miss WiImoi. who being an only child,
would undoubtedly inherit all her ia
ihsr's property. which he supposed as
matter of course TO be great. "Yes,
yes" he soliioquized, "the old fellow
will cut up handsomely :"
But there was a change working in
the fortunes OF the WIlmots, slow but
sure.
A. long as his wife's extravagance
did noi cncroach upon his capiial, Mr..
Wilmot bore the constant demands upon
hir purse with patience and kindness, yet
now the time had come when the thought
less and daily increasing expenses OF his
family were making sad inroads upon
that which years Of untiring industry had
accumulated. He now grew sullen-
morose. His home which in spite of his
~ile's absurdnics, had ever been to him
the dearest place on earth, now lost its
charms and was gradually forsaken for
other scenes, in whose Wild, rio,ous vor-
tex h. soon plunged headlons. From
virtue To vice how easy the descent when
the first step downward is accomplished!
There is a rla.s ofprowlers,t ton, who fat,en
upnn The folles of others, and seem to
know in,uiivrly when good man be-
gins To iot,rr--no sooner than do they
mark the first downward step, than with
their ravenous clutches they seize upon
their easy victim and bear him, oh
h"w swiftly, down, down to the depths Of
degradation.
