The Southern mail is in and brings news
BY an arrival from Brazos Santiago, at New
Orleans, which dates from the former place to
the 30th of December, we are put in possession
of further and important news from Monterey
and the army.
Gen. Scott and Staff had arrived at the Bra.
EOS. The Intelligence by previons arrival at
| New Orleans, of the advance of Santa Anna
from San Luis Potosi, ON General Worth, at
Saltillo, is fully confirmed by the present ad-
vices. 1t was rumored that bis army consisted
of thirty thousand troops, proportion of which
was cavalry,
Gen. Butler, who was at Monterey, was ex-
ceedingly anxious that all the trcros that CO uld
be mustered there should be Immediately sent
OF to the relief of Gen. Worth, Generals Lane
and Marshall had previously mustered all the
troops tbSt could be spared at Monterey and
CaIhargn, and left on the Goth ult., on forced
marches to SaltiIIc.
Ger. Wool, at the last advices,was so miles
4
reach Gen. Worth in time.
A rumor was also current at Matamoros that
Santa Anna by VIGOROUS movement, had sue
ceeded in throwing 1000 troops between Gen.
erals Worth and Taylor, to prevent their eff
fecting a Junction of force: but the rumor was
not credited when the express reached the Bra
EOS.
Gen. Taylor had ordered Generals Twiggs
and Qultman, who were on their march toward
Tampico, to return Immediately with their for-
ces' and march to Saltillo.
. The passengers which arrived at New Or
leans from the Brazos, supposed that a great
battle had been fought a or near Saltilio, on or
about Christmas. at which time Gen. Taylor,
and Generals Twiegs, Quitman and Butler with
their troops, and Gen. Wool. with his column,
no doubt arrived there. In all they numbered
1900 men,
Apprehensions were entertained at Matamo-
ros and Camargo that the Mexicans would at
tack those places.
The report that the Mexican Congress would
reject our propositions for peace or for negotia-
ton is confirmed by this arrival. The Next
cans say they will not accept an offer from any
foreign power to negotiate a peace between
them and the United States.
