SANTA Annals OFFICIAL DESPATcHEs.--The
extraordinary length of Gen. Santa Annals Off
cal account of the battle Of Buena Vista prevents
us from laying it before our readers. This is TO
be regretted as this "Official Document" ranks
high amongst the literary curiOsities Of the nine
teenth century. writtenint the Bombasc style
peculiar to its author and abounds in conradc-
tions, misstatements, and futile absurdities. San
ia Anna claims brilliant victory at Buena Vista,
yet, according to his own showing, he was COM
PEELED to retire and leave the Americans in the
peaceable possession of the field! He talks loud
ly about three cannon andas many stands Of COL
ors that happened to fall into his hands during
the contest, just as though the taking of few
cannon in the morning will overshadow an inglo-
rious retreat at the hour Of midnight! Santa
Anna now contends that his force amounted to
only eighteen thousand men, whereas, in his mes.
sage summoning Gen. Taylor to surrender, he
stated that it exceeded 10000. We leave him to
reconcile the discrepancy. The most amusing
part of this rodomontade, however, is his account
of the exchange of prisoners. He Stoutly de-
MES that Gen. Tayler took any prisoners, but
says that as the officer despatched by Gen. Tay-
lor to effect an exchange of prisoners appeared
to be much of gentleman, and was, withal, We
ry good looking, he was so much impressed in
his favor that he released the prisoners he had
taken "out of personal considerations to himr
This is, perhaps, a key to his whole conduct, anC
he retired from the field "out of personal consid
erations to" Gen. Taylor! Through the whole
of this long frothy despatch, Santa Anna sees bu
one mportantpersonage. app headed this detach
ment, 81" rallied that, 81" repulsed the enem!
here, 'I'' drove him there, and such disinterest
ed expressions are copiously interlarded into ev
cry paragraph, and almos, into every sentence
Santa Anna also finds fault with the Ignorance
and lack of "discipline" displayed by Gen. Tay
lor and his army! and takes great credit to him
self on account of the humanity shown to thos
who fell into his power. This would all sount

ADDITIONAL BY THE STEAMER.

The news brought by the steamer Cambria,
and the Belfast packet so far as it relates to Flour
and Breadstuffs generally has been received in
this city, and is Of much importance.
The arrivals Of all descriptions in the ports of
England and Ireland had been immense, and the
effect on the markets was to cause a rapid and
Unprecedented decline, considering the space Of
time elapsed. More than forty vessels had ar.
rived with provisions or grain in two weeks.
The extreme prices of Flour were 34s to 36s
per barrel, Philadelphia 36S to 36S Sd, New Or
leans "a a 35.
OF Indian corn sales at ffty-two shillings per
480 lbs.
The decline in Breadstuffs had an important
influence on cotton, for which an active demand
sprung up and prices advanced 4 d I'D per lb.
Not word has been heard in regard to pro-
visons-we cannot but infer that they have also
declined to some extent.
The decline in corn from the date of the VIM
Kenedy's sailing, was As more. The Corn mar.
kets appear to have given way soon after the
26th March.
1t is unnecessary to say what the effect mus
be on this side. Prices must give way. The
recent large decline in freights materially les
sens the fall on the other side. but still do MOI
cover it, especially on corn. The Eastern mar.
kets will be Of great interest for some time, and

LATEST FROM MONTEREY.

The steamship Telegraph, Capt. Auld, arrived
at New Orleans on the 10Th instant, from the Bra
zos, whence she left on the 9Th inst.
At Saltillo, on the 22d ut., and Monterey, on
the 24th, everything was quiet, and no apprehen-
sions were entertained Of different state Of
things ensuing there. Very many Of the woun-
ded, both Americans and Mexicans, were dying
at Saltillo.
The report brought to the city by passengers
on board the schooner "Henry Long," on FRI
day, that battle had been fought between Gen.
Taylor and the forces under Gen. Urea and Ca
males, proves TO be incorrect. Urea kept hover.
ing about Col. Curtis command, but having been
advised that Gen. Taylor, with party of. 700
men, were advancing from Monterey, he with
drew his forces.
On the 10Th Of March Gen: Taylor met the
division of Col. Curtis, and havingbeen appriseG
that Morales had concentrated in the vicinity O
Ramus with command Of some 1000 men, ht
set out in pursuit of the gallant General. He fol
lowed him as far as Caidereta, buths force shoulC
be literally flying artillery to overtake him, anC
it is doubtful if they would even then-he haC
crossed clear over the mountains. Gen. Taylor
had returned to the camp near Monterey, where
the'meu were quietly enjoying respite from
their fatigue.
As we have already hinted, it is understood to
be the design of Gen. Taylor, as soon as he gets
the necessary reinforcements, to march on to
Saltio, and, at point between that and Mexico,
form junction with Gen. Scott.
A letter received by the Maamoras Flag, dated
Buena Vista, 18th March, states that all was qui-
et that the wounded were mendng rapidly. and
gives the soul-inspiring information that, accord.
ing to instructions from Gen. Taylor before leav.
ing, upwards of forty mule loads of provisions
had been sent from his camp to Encarnacion for
the use Of the wounded Mexicans, who were in

FOREIGN MARKETS.


The steamer Cambria brings the prospect Of
good harvest in England, the effect of which
has been TO reduce prices in grain, more than the
large Importation from Europe and the East.
There have been great fluctuations in the corn
market for two weeks past and the article has
receded TO quotation.
Bowed cotton 64d to SD, Orleans 65d to I'D.
At Liverpool on the Goth of March, the declining
tendency of breadsluf1s infused vigorous feel
ing into the cotton market. The manufacturers
were in much better spirits and came forward
freely.
The business done was participated in by both
the Trade and purchaser in speculation.
Exporters were in the market and took fail
amount of the better qualities of Orleans.
The animated feeling on the part of buyers
soon caused an advance and prices for all de-
scrptons went up, full ! penny, while on the
great bulk held in the market an advance of full
ly Sd was claimed.
The decline on the various descriptions oI
food during the past month has been as follows
| On Indian corn twenty-eight shil!ngs per ton
On Rye four shilngs per quarter.
On Rye Flour, six shllings to eight shilling:
per barrel.
On Sack Flour, "a to 25 shillings per 48O lbs
and on United States Flour 10 shilings per bar
rel.
Within few days better feeling and reac
ton has prevailed, and an improvement OF shil
lings per barrel on Flour took place.
On Corn Meal 5s per 4S0 lbs. and 2 shilling
on the barrel.
The trade had generally acquired much more
frmness and very heavy transactions took place
at the prices current for Flour, which were as
follows on the sailing the steamer.
Western canal 37s to 38s, Philadelphia ant
Baltimore 36s to 36s 6f and New Orleans at 81
10 35s per barrel.
The prices current for American Wheat wer
los Sd for Southern up to is Sd a lis Cd per n
lbs for Northern wheat.
