LATEST FROM VERA CRUz.-The schoo-
ner Uhig arrived yesterday from Vera
Cruz, having left there On the evening of
Saturday, the 25th instant. Lieut.. A. j.
Brock and !hirty-three privates, being
company F. Of the Tennessee cavalry,
came passengers OH the Whig.
Verbally we learn that their had been
no later arrival from the army of General
ScorT. We have copy Of the Ameri-
can Eagle Of the 18th insant, which has
not word of later news from above.
The Eagle is of the opinion that Gen.
Scott will remain al Puebla until the be-
ginning of autumn, without marching up
on the capital.
The Eagle complains in good set terms
of the dullness of Vera Cruz and the ex-
cessive heat, which threatens to become
yet more intense. Nothing is said of the
health Of the city.
LATER FROM THE BRAsos.--The United
States steamship Irum5uH arrived last
evening from the Brasos, whence she
sailed on the 10Th instant. The follow
ing passengers came over on the Trum-
bull Capt. A. B, Lansing, Assistant
Quartermaster, U. S. A. /; Captain E.
Webster and servant, and Capt. Crown
inshield, Massachusetts Volunteers; Cap
tain Claiborne, of the U. S. steamer Col
Cross Lieut.. Frost, of the Voltiguers
Father NJ 'Elroy, Chaplain U. S. army.
Quite the most important intelligence
by this arrival concerns the safety OF Col.
Doniphan's command. According TO the
letter of our correspondent, dated the Sd
instant fom Monterey, the most grave
apprehensions were entertained in regard
to that command. The rumor was, that
Col. ID. had been defeated by the Mexi-
cans and lost all his artillery. We are
greatly in hopes that this will prove to be
a mere rumor, and we are encouraged in
this hope by the fact that the Picket
Guard, published at Saltillo on the Sd,
makes no mention of the rumor, and anti
cipates the speedy arrival OF Col. Doni-
phan and his command at that place.
By this arrival we learn that Brig. Gen.
Cadwallader is forth'oiM to proceed with
his command, (excepting the dragoons,)
now encamped at Palo Alto, TO Vera
Cruz to reinforce Gen. Scott. The trans
ports were being prepared at the Brasos
when the Trumbull left.
Col. Humphrey Marshall's regiment of
Kentucky cavalry was at Camargo, at last
accounts, on their way home. They will
not be disbanded until they reach ihe city. |
The third Ohio Regiment, under Col.
Curtis, was expected at Monterey, during
the second week in May on lis way home;
and the first Ohio regiment, long stationed
at Monterey, would leave about the same
time.
