The U. S. steamer Fashion. Capt. Ivy, arrived
Friday evening from Vera Cruz. bringing US dates
from that city to the I'd inst. Her news is most
important. She brings a large mail.

from Mr.. Kendall's in regard to the probable
movements OF Gen. Scott. They represent the
chances of peace in a more favorable light than
Mr.. H., and think the resistance to our advance
will be almost nominal. Mr.. Kendall thinks diff.
ferenty, and gives his reasons.
In Mexico, everything was at skies and sevens.
Congress has referred Mr.. Buchanan's letter back
10 the Executive, and thrown upon him all the
responsibilities of the war. About 10000 men
are collected for the defence of the city, but the
peace party in town is yet strong and inc soasng
and they have no faith In their generals.
Gen. Pierce, with his train and convoy, had ar.
rived safely ut Peroe. Gen. Scott, it will be seen,
despatched Gen. Smiths brigade from Pueba to
meet him. 1t will be seen that Mr.. Kendall be-
leves Gen. Scott would advance the first week in
August upon Mexico, and that there would bo the
severest battle OF the war. The Meyicans are
fully prepared TO receive him.
The Sun of Annhuuc gives the following ac.
count of an encounter between Gen. Pierce 3
train and the guerras. 1t must be regarded as
rumor, says our correspondent, and SO too say s

of the Meyicans was one of the strongest that
can be found IN the countr''. The Americans
passed the bridge after a suCt,.ssful engagement.

The health Of the city Of Vera Cruz is improy

The health Of the party is good, but they see no
prospect of release. They long for the arrival
OF the army. Gen. Scott has made another efr,r,
IN their behalf but we do not ye, know the result.
Gen. Amonte has been sent to Tuapcinpo.

Gen. Alvarez was in the capital the middle or

We have copy ef Ell National, of the 24,h

It we learn that Gen. Garay has reported to the
Government that he had defeated $50 American
rlflemen at the river Caobozo. He sets down our
loss at one captain and fifteen soldiers killed. five
drowned and fifteen made prisoners. Besides he
says he took forty horses and some mules and
arms. His own loss is not mentioned.

OF founcation and have saved myself much ink and
trouble by not relating them they came.
A court OF inquiry, called by Cen. WORTH has been
IN session for day or two. 1t that Gen Scott
has in some way expressed himself dissatisfied with
