They were to have me, at San Martin Tesmel1can, eight leagues from Puebla, on thr 4th insl.
 We copy the following interesting news from Tampico, from the E.rtra:
 The steamship New Oleans Capt Aud, arrived this morning. Capt. Auld reports that Gen. Pierce lett V,ra Ciuz OH the morning of the 14lh inst. with 2500 men, and a train ot 150 baggage wagons. The N. 0. arrived al Tdmpi;, on the morning of the 18th inst. and thecaptain was in formed by Col. Gates, thtt Capt. DeRussy, with detachment ofLolisiana volunteers, and part of Capt.

M. on the 18th inst.
 An express arrived at Tampco from Col. DeRusy, stating that they had been permitted tomove on uninterrunedly until they got inlta narrow pass near Hueiula, when they were surrounded by 1900 or l. 400 men, unIer Gen. Garay. Col. De Rus sy's command had suffered considerable loss, but wiIhlhe assistance of Capt. Wise's artillery, they had cut their way to the ri. yer, and lhert waited for reinfurcements.
 Col. Gates despatched the New Orleans back 10 Vera sruz with a requisiton on Col. Wilson br iour companies of infantry.
 He had alsl sent the steamboals Undine and Mary Soners up the river with 150 men, 10 Col. De Russy's assistance.
 The New Orleans arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th, at2 o'clock P. M., and found the city in stae of excitement. General Pierce had marhed out as above stated and -encamped about ten miles from the city, wher. the advalce guard came ia and re- ported heavyiorce at the National Bridge who were marihing towards the city, Everything was got ready for action, The shipping was removed from between the castle and theclty. Gen. Pierce reinforced his command with 700 men, making in all 3200. In colsequence of this difficulty, the requisition from Col. Gates on Col. Wilson could not be compiled with. The New Orleans had on board 25 mariners, from the U. S. soop Saratoga, on the morning ol the 17th inst, and sailed for Tampico, previous to which Gen. Pierce had marched out to meet the enemy. The New Orleans ar- rived at Tampico on the morning of the 18th. A detachment which had gone up the river had returned and reported as fol lows, as near as we could ascertain:
 The troops under Col. DeRussy had mar ched within miles of Ruajulia, on the morning of the 18th, when the Mexicaps commenced heavy fife on them from all directions. Capt. Wise got his piece of ar iillery 10 bear on them, when, after receiv. ing six or eight rounds of grape, which cut a lane through their line they gave way and fied'to the chaparral The Americans con linued fighting their way back along the road towards the river at intervals until the morning of the 16lb, when they were relic ved by reinforcement of 120 men, They returned 10 Tampicoat late hour on the 18th, with loss of 20 killed, 10 wounded and missing, Among the number was Capt.

 Col DeRussy had several balls through his coat. Capt. Wise lad his horse shot from under him. Tn, men and officers fought bravely. The names of the officers from Louisiana who accompanied Col. De- Russy are not recollected. The Mexican loss reported by a Lieutenant to be l50 kill- ed, and l20 wounded The Americans. also, lost 9 or 15 horses and6O pack mules.
 LATER FROM THE CIrY OF MExlco.-S the above was put in type, we have receiv ed the N. O. Daily Della of the 23a inst, which does not seem 10 put much credit in the news from the city of Mexico, as above stated, in relation to the appointment of commissioners to treat for peace. We extract the following from that paper:
 "We have seen letter from Tampico addressed to the editors of La Para,' in which il is stated by person who Jeff the capital on the 9th inst, that the reported commission to treat for peace with Gen.

 Gen. Scott is still at Puebla.
 We have important news, also. from Brazos and Monterey, bur are compelled to ay it over until next week.
