By arrivals at New Orleans we have Tampico
dates to the 9Th inst, Brazos to the 9th, Mata~
moras to the 9Th, Camargo and Vera Cruz dates
TO the I'd inst. the city OF Mexico to the goth
ultimo.
A detachment composed of eighty Kentucky
and Arkansas cavalry was cut off when thHt.
miles beyond Saltillo, by Gen. Minon. They
formed an outpost and were surprised and taks
en- prisoners without resistance. Maj. Borland,
c. M. Clay and Maj. Gaines were captured.
The capture of Lieut. Richie and 10 dag
oons, with dispatches from Gen. Scott to Gen.
TAYLOR. is confirmed. One account says they
were cut off between Monterey and Victoria
and were all killed. The dispatches are said
to have contained the whole plan Of our operas
.inns Another account says that ten dragons
had reached Victoria in safety. but there is no
doubt of the death OF Lieut. Richie He was
lassoed and dragged across a cornfeld.
An officer Of the Ohio Regiment. supposed
to be Lieut. Miller. had been murdered near
Chhuahua, and awfully mutilated by the Mex
leans.
Gen. Scott was to embark Immediately OF his
destination to Lobes, distance Of IS miles
from Vera Cruz. The attack on Vera Cruz, it
was supposed, would take place about the first
of March.
Col. Harvey was sentenced to be reprimand-
ed, but Gen. Scott RENTED his sentence and
ordered him on duty.
News in regard to the volunteers on board
the Ondaka is less favorable than was expect
ed. detachment sent to their assistance is
said to have been made prisoners, and all the
volunteers Of Capt. Magruder's forces had star
ted for the wreck and the whole brigade are
said to have followed. The main body of the
volunteers who were wrecked had certainly not
reached Tampico; and at last accounts from
them were engaged In conflict with body Of
Mexicans, far superior in numbers and equip
ments.
The u S. ships Statesman. Prentice and
Catharine were off the bar at Tampico an the
9th inst. filled with troops. The Mississippi
Volunteers were on board Of the Statesman
suffering terribly by sickness, and dying daily
in great Plumbers.
The New Workers on board vt the Catherine
