I'VE are without any news from the
army since they went intothe city ofMexi-
CO, but monentarily expect anexpress,
There was letter received yesterday
from Mexico which stated that Santa
Anna was desitoust to keep open the ne
gotiatinns until intelligence could be re-
ceiyedfrom Washington; that the wealthy |
citizens of Mexico we're urging upon him
this measure.
"Geu Lane was last atthe bridge. and
sent back for further supplies.
'Gov Wilson has been siek for the
last four days. but is somewhat better,his
morning. The city has become much
more healthy"
From he Genius Of Liberty, Scpt 2jth,
aeU paper ,jRst published.
Intelligence has been received by us,
brought IN BY train which has just ar
rived from the National Bridge, under
the superintendence of Lient. Bedny F.
Mcdonald. Act. Brig. z. NJ, that Gen.
Lane. with his force, had taken up po-
sition, for the present. at that post, and
there was awaiting the return OF supplies,
which is the express object of this train
To carry out The gallant General and
his brave baud we're somewhat harrass-
ed by the enemy, who Kept continually
lowering on his TANKS, firing on them oc-
casionally; but the vigilance and circum-
spection which he increasingly manifest
ed, deferred the enemy from 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 tho performance
of duties incidental TO the time.
We would strenuously advise every in
diyidual marching in company with con
voys ON this road to exercise the utmost
caution, and to avoid lettering on the way.
The steadiness with which the Gen
cal advanced and marsha He'd his force for
the full and complete protection OF tho
train, is worthy, by all accounts, OF every
praise and communication, and is in per-
feet keeping with his character, which IL
that Of coolness, determined bravery
and calculating prudence. Such are the
men qualified to take charge ofreinforce
ments passing through the enemys coun
try, in which every moment surprises ant
attacks are things to be expected, ant
should, consequently, be foreseen an'
provided for.
Richard Trajllo, tho Habenero, wht
stabbed Spanish gentleman last Mon
day, was taken outside of tho town yes
terday by Lieut.. Kendall, Of the police.
From the tenor Of the account set fDrtl
in the Arco Iris concerning the alarm
given the other night at Camp Belgara, !
is to be inferred that Father Jaranta VIA
only deferred from an attack on the cit
BY ihe representations that were mad
him Of the terrible destruction of proper
ty and loss of life which would follow tn
opening ofihe batteries of the castle up
on the city.
Had we the choice of matters, or
word to say iu affairs, we would say, com
holy herald Of peace and good will I
man. Come on; there are sufficient bray
hearts in the city of Vera Cruz, beside
those who stand ready at the guns Of Sa
Juunde Ulloa. Fair play is a jewel an
you shall have it,
GEN. ScoTT IN THE Cry OF MGxIc
The official dispatches have not yet a
rived from tho army; but the surrend'
of the capital ism placed beyond a
doubt. It's extremely gratifying 10 u
as friends ofhumanity, to learn that SAINT
Anna retreated from tho city, and save
Gen. Scott the alternative of destroyin
il, and shedding innocent blood. W
hope that the people will soon see tn
necessity of peace. and use all hOnor
bic means calculated to bring about II
sult so disirabe 10 all. The counses
ambitious and designing military me
prevailing overthose of her less pretel
ding, but certainly more judicious cit
zens, have too long swayed the destini'
Of the nation.

Sir.-The Alabama having this mi
ment arrived, tho quartermaster has il
formed me she sails Immediately bac
and only affords mo moment to say tn
yesterday saw letter from a Mexica
in Mexico, dated tho 18th inst, which st
ted that Gen. Santa Anna had left Il
city with 800 cavalry for Oajaca; thi
he had delegated his power as Preside
to Senor Penny Pcna and two of Il
judges of tho Supreme Court--lllat i
hs had resigned the Presidency, al
placed the above named gentlemen
his place TO act Last evening, howevt
10 our surprise, wo heard by letters fro
Jalapa, that Santa Anna reached Puel
with 1000 cavalry, aud that Col, Chill,
who has command of the forts above /
city had commenced bombanling, a
had hove 300 shells into the city. T.
sir, is the strange news we received !
evening from Jalapa My own opini
is--and am not alone--that Gen. Sa
Auns is endeavOring to make his way
the seacoast 10 embark, or was on his "
10 Oaiaca; for with so small force
could not think to cut Off reinf0rcemcl
for Gen. Scott.
Strange to say, we are without any !
tiers that can be depended onA-nothi
from the army, or even from forei
houses.
