The magnetic telegraph, within few DAYS,
has brought w hints, aud dispatches, and drb.
let's OF news, one upon another, so fast and
thick, that it must be careful reader who can
gather from them connected aud ineligible
Idea OF the position OF our affairs in Mexico
The arrival OF the New Orleans papers Of the
22d ult does not remove the difficulties nor
enable us to understand the true position of
things in Mexico. The newspaper accounts
are almost as confused and unsatisfactory as
the telegraphc The substance of them, how.
ever, we will try to give.
The steamship New Orleans, from Vera
Cruz the 17th ult arrived at New Orleans on
the 22d. She reports that Gen. Perce left
Vera Cruz on the l4-l6th, with about $500 men
and train OF $50 wagons. Aner marching
about lO miles the scouts brought him word Of
a large body of Mexcans at the National
Bridge, marching towards the city Every
thing was made ready for an attack, in the
camp and the city, and reinforcement of 700
men was added to the Generals force But
whether there was any fight or not, we are left
to conjecture.
The news from Tampco is, that Col. De
Russey had marched out with small body of
men Qrom lis to 200) to escort body of A
merican prisoners into Tampico, the Mexican
commander having sent request to this e fleet
to Col. Gates, at Tampico. After proceeding
were attacked and surrounded in a narrow
pass, near Hueiuta, by 1900 or I400 Mexicans.
by the aid Of their artillery the Americans
were able to cut their way back TO the river,
and despatched an express to Tampico for
reinforcements. Col. Gates. Immediately de.
spatched 200 men to Col. De Russey's relief,
and sent to Vera Cruz for further aid. Byythe
aid of this reinforcement De Russey and his
command were enabled to make their way back
to Tampico, on the 10th with the loss of 20
killed, 10 wounded, 2 missing, and Is or 20
horses and 60 pack mules.
Gen. Pillows command reached Pueba on
the 9Th, all well. And one account says that
Cadwallader had formed junction with him,
and that both Generals were at Perote on the
9th ult.
Lieut.. Whipple, who was reported as lassoed
and murdered, had been seen, alive and well,
near Madellin.
good deal of fever is said to prevail in Com.
modore Perry's squadron. Lieut. James l..
Parker had died offever. Capt William Duff,
of the Sd Dragons, died Of vomito on the 10th
