wound he received on the road to that place,
In the neck. came very near killing him, but it
is now doing quite well. From letters that
arrived by the same conveyance there are an
hundred rumors from Gen. SCOTS command
and but one important item which can be re-
lied upon and that is proclamation from San
ia Anna in which the people of Mexico are in
formed that he has resigned the office of Presi-
dent of the Republic, and that Senior Pena Y
Pena has been initiated in his place. l will

ton and forward it by the first boat. As the
reports that come down are very currently be-
! lieved by majority of the resideats, | will
! give you list of them before the Boat leaves
\ if no later news reaches us from Mexico in
shape that can be relied upon.
Our city has become remarkably healthy.

/ The new paper established in Vera Cruz and
called the Genius of Liberty promises to be
very useful. 1t is published every day save
Sunday, in English and Spanish, by r. Math-
ewson and M. ]. Quinn. We copy from it the
/ following items, some of which have been
touched upon in the foregoing letters of our
correspondent:

The gallant general and his brave band were
somewhat harrassed by the enemy, who kept
continually lowering on his hanks, firing on
them occasionally, but the vigilance and cir
cumspection which he increasingly manifested
deferred the enemy from an approach within
any reasonable proximity. We are extremely
sorry to add that Lieut.. Kline, of Capt. Lewis's
company of Louisiana volunteers, was slain
whilst employed in the rear in the performance
of duties incidental to the time. We would
strenuously advise eve2y individual marching
in company with conveys on this road to exer-
else the utmost caution and to avoid lettering
on the way. The steadiness with which the
general advanced and marshalled his force for
the full and complete protection of the train, is
worthy, by all accounts, of every praise and
commentator and is in perfect keeping with
his character, which is that Of GOODNESS, deter
mined bravery and calculating prudence. Such
are the men qualified to take charge of REIN
forcements passing through the enemy's coun-
try, in which every moment surprises and at
tacks are things to be expected, and should con-
sequently be foreseen and provided for.
/ Ricardo Trujillo, the Habanero who stabbed
aSpanish gentleman last Monday, was arrested
outside the town yesterday by Lieut. Kendall,

! From the tenor of the account set forth in
! the Arco iris concerning the alarm given the
other night at Camp Belgara, it is to be infer
red that Father Jarauta was only deferred from
an attacklupon this city by the representations
that were made 10 him of the terrible destruc-
ton of property and loss of life which would
follow the opening of the batteries of the cas-
tie upon the CITY, Had we the choice of mat
tiers, or word to say in affairs, we would say
-"Come, holy herald of peace and goodwill to
man! Come on; there are sufficient brave
hearts in the city of Vera Cruz besides those
who stand ready at the guns of San Juan de
Ulloa. Fair play is jewel, and you shall have
it."
Gen. Scott in the City Of Mcrico.-The off
cial dispatches have not yet arrived from the
army, but the surrender of the capital is now
pldCeu beyond all uOuDt. IL is extremely graf
flying to us, as friends of humanity. to learn
that Santa Anna retreated from the city, and
saved Gen. Scott the alternative of DESTROYING
it and shedding innocent blood. We hope the
Mexican people will soon see the necessity of
peace, and use all honorable means calculated
to bring about result so desirable to all. The
counsel of ambitious and designing military
men prevailing over those of her less pretend
ing but certainly more judicious citizens, have
too long swayed the destinies of the nation.
