The following highly important intelligence was com

officers who had gone the of the tran fired at
from the chappara AT the mouth OF the pass the party
organized, and marched through without meeting
enemy. Arrived at the bridge that evening Whilst they
were bivouacked the other side of the bridge, being
atigued that they unable to furnish guard, they
informed that some persons were barracading the
bridge guard then stationed between the bridge
and encampment to prevent the party being surprised
AT this time signal lights on the ridges and cliffs were dis
tncy
Before daylight the sick and wounded of this little par
y were removed to Santa Annals hacienda quarter of
mile from the bridge. A scouting party then sent
out and also party to clear the bridge which was done
without any opposition The main body OF the party then
passed the bridge Everything appeared then to be
safe, and all danger being passed, Lieut. McWiams and
Mr. Frazer sent back to bring on the train on the
other side of the bridge. Just they entering the
bridge, party of twenty-five MeXicans appeared the
ridge, and fired several volleys them. The wagon
master and four others, who were passing the bridge

was captured OF no great value.
After the fire had ceased, party of lancers appeared
the bridge, and seemed to be preparing to charges but

off
Captain cambridge resumed his march in good ORDER

its way until it arrived al the Pass of La Volta, where
Colonel Mcintosh had encamped with his large train
The Mexicans who had attacked Banbrldges party
were the who had compelled Colonel Mcintosh to

time the Mexicans kept continual fire on the camp, APP
preaching, with the greatest bodness very near to our
sentinels.
On the next day Captain Bainbrdge's party resumed
its march TO Vera Cruz being joined by Captain Dupe
rus dragoons who sent back to get their horses
This company, with its gallant captain had behaved very
handsomely in the attack McIntoshs camp. Its gal
lanry was the theme of universal praise and admiration
in the army. Indeed, il generally admitted that Col
McIntoshs command was saved by the gallantry of Du
peu's party. Bainbridges party continued their march
to Vera Cruz, where they arrived in safety In the mean
time Duperu's party having long return tram to guard
and being threatened by large body OF lancers halted at
Santa Fe, where they charged by greatly supe
ror force, which they calamity repused killing many of
the enemy, and suffering loss themselves. II was
