TAMPIco, Fed. 9th, lS47.
A commercial house in this city, which has a
agent there, under a very late date, stating that
an American force, from Santa Fe, a part OF Gen.
kearney's command, had showed themscl res
near chihuahua, and were Immediately attacked
by a superior Merican force. a long and SAN
culinary battle was fought, in which the slaughter
on both sides is said 10 hare been very great, sur
passing, according TO numbers, any that has get
been fought. Ultimately the Americans were
CctnplStcil Cic' iIouS. anu l1ey entered lhe OWL
and placing our flag in place ofthe .Merican, in
the principal square, proclaimed the town to be
taken in the name of the United States of Ameri-
ca! The letter particularly stated that the men
were principally .Missourians, and l Immediately
set them down as Col. Prices men. l must say
that this news received more credit here, than
any .Werican news that has been in circulation
since l have been in this country. A letter of
the 9th, seems further to confirm the rumor.
News from Vera Cruz by way of Havan-
ma informs us that Santa Anna was still at
San Louis engaged in his f~avorite amuse-
ment cock-fghting.
The clergy have refused to contribute the
5000, 900 attempted to be raised from them;
they are much excited against Santa Anna,
and are endeavoring to get up pronuncia-
mentos against him.
The whole cabinet of Santa Anna are re-
ported to have resigned. Great jealousies
exits among the different Generals in the
Mexican army, and consequently much con-
fusion and disorganization prevail.

Mail Robbery.

Yesterday morning, soon after the mai
boat arrived from Louisville, it was re.
ported in town that there had been a rob
berry ofthe U. 8. Mail, which created som G
alarm, and more curiosity. We made in
qniry, and found that there really had
been ro bbery Of the mail, but, fortunate
ly, not Of the great Southern Mail, as that
was not on board the Ben Franklin, No. 6.
the mail boat for yesterday. This mail
stolen was the bag made mp a, LousviIIe,
for Wheeling. The officers attest that all
was right at Rising Sun, but after he Ben
Franklin left tLawrencebnrsb, the bag W as
missed. At this discovery the Captain
caused a stric, watch to be kept, and be.
fore landing at this city he caused the
boat to be anchored in the middle Of the
river, and took down the names of each
and every passenger.
II was found out that two persons VIII"
had paid through to this city had left the
boat, as is supposed, a, Lawrenceburgh
In the state room occupied by them. the
bag containing the missing mail was found
cut open. but the amount taken therefrom
is rot known. A letter was found in the
ou,house, dated Memphis, and directed to
Pittsburgh, Pa, which came out OF said
bag. 1t had been opened. We could not
obtain the names OF the men who fef', but
no doubt remains but they were the de,
predators. They broke open the box on
the boiler deck containing the mail, with>
out beng discovered, which is somewha,
singular, as there is almost always awatoh
kept.-Cin. Com.
