Hary RerehHDn w read in Lu PGf,Gg
,nf thc 3iSt ult., Il Spanish paper published
in New Orleans, by Alcnn 4 Come. The
following extraordinary revelation of the
plan o. operations In the war with Mexico.
"The Government appears to cCntite
much in Cen. Scott, who las Just gone to
the Held of operations, and from whose di-
.Iplomatic and military t~acticts, it hopes 10
gain great advantages. TIE plan of ope-
.%ratiOnS, we ~lrarp, is as follows:
"GcD. Taylor, instead of nov ing upon
San Luis Putosi, will repair to Saltille.
where he will remain for Il short rc.iod -
Gen. Scott, after having made some ar
engagements, on the Rio Grandc, will hasten
to Tampico, where he will assume command
of the 1000 volunteers recently called out
and ordered to assemble at that point
From Tampico, Gen. Scott will march to-
wards Vera Cruz, and General TAYLOR will
make q simultaneous movement towards
ranpico, with all the troops lie can muster,
after leaving sufficient force to garrison.
Saltill6, Monterey, Victoria, &C., and IN MI
ion with Gen. Worth's division, will isin
Gen. Scott, who will have at his command
the new military arm of rocketeers and
howitzcers.
AT the proper moment, fifteen or sixteen
vessels Of the American squadron, with a
force of from $50 to 800 guns of all size.
and calibres, will appear off San Juan d'Ul-
loa' and begin the attack upon the castle.
According to the new plan of operations,
the land forces will rendezvous at the mouth
OF the river Antigua, which emp.ies into
the Gulf a short distance north of Vera
Cruz, and ascend the same to where the
mann road to Jalapa crosses it. If this plan
nc put INTO execution, there can be no
doubt but that Vera Cruz and the castle will
speedily fall into the power of the Anne
rican forces; but il any faith be put in San
tn Annals declaration, it is plain he will be
ableto cut off the advance of Gen. Taylor
from Saltillo."
MIR. Gomez, the editor of La Patria, and
the author fthe above, is the same person,
who was appointed hy Gen, Scott, while
