Translated from tn. Courier des Etats Unis

The month OF April. lsi7, has been prolific in glorious
for the American Union The of the victory
of Buena Vista reached New York on the st and since
then nearly every day has brought its contingent of glory
and of triumphs. The news of the recapture OF the
Ciudad de los angeles by Gen. Kearny, and OF the re-
establishment of American authority in California, next
reached us; then the battles in New Mexico, and the
defeat of the insurgents at Taos, followed by the capture
of Chihuahua; finally and TO the whole the sur
render of the city OF Vera Cruz and of the castle of San
Juan dUlloa This is truly, as the Americans say, a
real avalanche of victories But Independently Of what
remarkable in this aggomeraton Of news, is that they
offer the striking fact of being received from all points OF
the seat OF war-each separate portion of the army has
had its share OF successes and may literally be sad
that the United States triumph along the whole of their
line of operations.
This singular coincidence of advantages upon all
points, has dspelled all the uneasiness felt in
quence of the Instruction in New Mexico and Caltor-
all threats from the future operations of the army of
Santa Anna, and the formidable castle of ST. Juan dull
oa; and has at the time, and natural conse-
quence, simultaneously annhated all the resources and
hopes OF the Mexican republic In word, they have in
few days, realized the plan long predicted by the
Union" OF Washngton--blow has followed blow, and
cleared that famous path TO conquer peace" What
ever all this, may have been the part OF the admins
aon, of men and OF events, the result is the less
ncontesable and it would not surprise us to see this
