Nota little Joy has been manifested
by all at the arrival here of the Ameri-
can prisoners--Capts. Clay, Heady,
and Smith, Lieuts. Churchill, Davidson,
and Barbour, and sixteen privates--
who have recently been confined at
Toluca. 1t seems that they were re-
leased by the governor, Olaguibel, on
his own responsibility, they promising
that the same number Of Mexican pri-
soners, and,of equal rank, should BE-
delivered up 10 him. Those officers
who refused to give their parole when
all were ofdered 10 Toluca, and who
afterwards escaped, have performed
active service here in the different bat
ties. Major Gaines has been serving
on the staff oil Gen. Scott, Midshipmar
Rogers ON that Of Gen. Pillow, Major
Borland on that Of Gen. Worth, and

Sixteen DAYS Later from Europe.

|. Sixteen Days Later from Europe.
The arrival of the steamer Cambria,
at Boston, from Liverpool, was an
nounced by telegraph, she having left
on the 5th instant.
The general aspect of commercial
and business intelligence is unsalisfac-
tory. Further failures have taken
place in England. Owing TO the scar
city of money, breadstuffs had suffered
decline, except Indian corn, though
at the very latest date there was a par
,ial advance. Cotton was also down.
Parliament will be convened on the
l4th instant, but not for the despatch
Of business. ' ''a4 h
The most painful intelligence BY this
steamer is OF the death Of the Hon.
Alexander H. Everett, the American
commissioner to China. He died in
Canton on the 29th OF June. He had
only arrived in that city a few days
with his family, to take possession Of a
new house. 9eam
In China every thing appears TO be
assuming an unsatisfactory aspect. Sir
John Davis obviously understands nei-
ther what is due to Great Britain nor
20 China, but persists in course which
we know not how to designate with
courtesy. s
DR.. Wiseman has arrived from Rome,
charged with private dispatches for
Lord John Russell. The Doctor has
been permitted to assume the title of
Archbishop Of Westminster, which is
regarded as the prelude to the estab-
lishment of Roman Catholic hierar-.
chy IN England. o
A desperate conflict has taken place
in the Malay seas, between H. M. ship
Nemesis and ~ piratical prahus, in
which the latter were defeated with the
loss Of 800 killed and wounded. The
loss on the, part Of the British was 8
men killed and wounded. The news
by the overland mail from India, just
received, is generally unimportant.
Trade was firm at Calcutta, but Hong
kong was altogether at standstill.
There had been some slight disturban-
ces at Canton, which were suppressed
by the English authorities.
Asiatic cholera is making fearful raw
ages in Russia, and, in consequences of
ITS appearance at Warsaw, the Empe-
ror had deferred his visit to Poland;a
circumstance not regretted by the peo-
pie Of that country.
Active preparations are making in
Switzerland for suppressing the Son.
derbond by force Of arms. A sangui-
nary civil war is apprehended from the
resolution Of the latter toresist the Di-
ct. Two cantons alone are prepared
with 10000 men to take the field. 3ss
The news from Italy presents no new
feature. The Pope is firm. and the
Austrians do not seem inclined to pro-
woke hostilities.
The affairs Of Spain are still very
unsettled. Catalonia continues to be
disturbed by Carlst bands, and the en-
tire line Of the Pyrenees is int stateof
blockade. The abstract of CONNER
cial treaty between Spain and England
has been published, but the terms are
rejected by the British government.
France is not yet Tranquil. Consid-

Another victory, glorious in its re.
suits, and which has thrown additional
tlus.re upon the American arms, has
been achieved to-day by the army un-
der Gen. Scott-the proud capital Of
Mexico has fallen into the power Of a
mere handful Of men compared with
the immense odds arrayed against them,
and Santa Anna, instead Of shedding

entrances to the city, and our men at
once in hot pursuit.
General Quitman, supported by Gen.
Smiths brigade, took the road by the
Chapultepec aqueducttoward the Belen
gate and the Ciudadela; General Worth,
supported by General Cadwalader's
brigade, advanced by the San Cosme
aqueduct towards the garita of that
name. Both routes were cut up BY
bitches and defended by breast works,
barricades and strong works Of every
description known to military science; |;
yet the daring and impetuosity ofour
men overcame one defence after anoth-
err, and by nightfall every work to the
city's edge was carried. Gen.. Quit
mans command, after the rout at Chap
ultePec, was the FIRST to encounter the
enemy in force. Midway between the
former and the Belen gate, Santa Anna
had constructedsa a strong work; but

by Gen. Quitman, and. aided by flank
fire from two, of Duncan's guns, which
General Worth had ordered to ap.

Cosme roadi the enemy was again rou-
ted and in ntull, flight. They again made
stand from their strong forti6cations
at and near the Belen garita, opening
a tremendous fire not only of round
shot, grape, and shell, but ofmusketry;

This regiment, along with the 9th and
9Th, was engaged in the attack upon a
strong work ON the enemy's right, and
was opposed to such superior numbers
that it was compelled TO retire along
with the others. The celebrated Col.
Martin Scott was killed in this attack,
with Lieuts. Burwelf and Strong, while
Col. Mcintosh and many other officers
were badly wounded. The worse than
savage misereants in the fort. after our
men had retired, set up a yell, and
came out and massacred such of our
wounded as were unable to get off,
In this way poor Burwell lost his life.
Fully were they avenged however; for
within half an hour Duncan's battery,
aided by the fall of another Of their
works, drove the dastardIy wretches
in full flight across the fields. No one
knew or even surmised the strength Of
the place. 1t was an old,fort, construc-
ted long since, and was one ofthe main
defences of the line OF works. r5l
On the enemy's left, and nearest Cha

thoug not as severe. Ii was here that
Col. VIM. M. Graham--as brave spir-
IT as ever ived-was killed; Captains
Merrill and Ayres also fell in this part
Of the field. The wonder now is, how
any one could come out safe under such
a terrible fire as the enemy poured
from his entire line of work. Nothing
but the daring and inpetuosity of our
men, who rushed onward while their
comrades were falling thick around
hem, gained the victory; had they once
all woud have been lost. e
The broken ground on the right Of

,ed many of Santa Annals, troops in

yoons killed and captured many of'the
ugitives. Large bodies Of the Mexi-

strife several times; but they were driy-
en- like sheep by Duncan's battery.
