OUR LOSS AT BUENA VISTA.

Il will be seen from the official dispatches OF
Gen. TAYLOR, published in another column, that
the total loss Of our army at the Battle of Buena
Vista, in killed, wounded, and missing, is seven
hundred and forty, exclusive of the loss Of the
Kentucky cavalry. We are informed, on the au.
thorty OF an officer who was present, and who left
Saltllo in the beginning Of last month"; that the Ken
lucky cavalry lost in the action sixty-one men, viz
30 killed and 80 wounded-which would make
our aggregate loss eight hundred and one, or
nearly one-sxth Of the whole force engaged.
The dispatches of Gen. TAYLOR also show that
he has resumed his former position at Aqua Nueva,
from which he temporarily withdrew to Buena
VISTA on the approach of the Mexican forces, only
to secure what he deemed TO be more favorable
battle ground.

INVESTMENT OF VERA CRUZ.

The Southern mail of last Thursday brought US,
rather sooner than we expected il, the following
highly interesting intelligence Of the investment of
Vera Cruz by the army under the command Of
Gen. ScoTT.
The dates from SACRIFICES are of the 18th ultimo
and the subjoined correspondence embraces all the
particulars that have yet come to hand.
The landing Of our troops was effected on the
10th, within three miles of the city. There was
no opposition to their landing, owing, 1t is said TO
the circumstance Of the Decentralization having taken
place nearer the city than was expected, and thus
entirely cutting off force of two thousand Mexi-
cans who had been dispatched to oppose them. BY
the 18th all the enemys outposts were in our pos
session. and on that and the following days the city
was completely surrounded each division having
taken strong and advantageous position, with en-
trenchments, cutting off all communication by sea
or land, and at the same time being safe from the
fire of the castle. No doubt is expressed Of the
successful termination of the enterprise.

SANTA ANNA.

An intelligent correspondent Of the New Orleans
Bulletin thus speculates on the disastrous conse-
quences to SANTA ANNA of his recent defeat at
Buena Vista:
There has crisis arrived in his fate and the affairs of
Mexico and in sixty days think he will have lost his power
and influence That event will lead to speedy termination
of the for the that there other general
whom the heads Of divisions and the leaders of the
military factions in Mexico viii attempt rally. Even
we hear of cabas factions, and nsubornao which must
IMPAIR if not destroy his confidence in the officers and
Of his own army very short period will produce
and results Of most decisive character. The moral effects
the alarm the doubts and surprise produced by Gen. TAY-
LoRs latest and most astounding victory them will in
spre the Mexicans with and apprehension, and their
fears will accelerate the fate which think will oveake
SANTA ANNA and all of his armies 1t is said that despair
will make towards brave but pryaton and suffering
with Mexican soldiers produce only INSTRUMENTATION and de-
serion They fly from the camp page and rob and feast
at the ranches Thus will they do with Santa Anna they
will abandon him in exremies, and leave him mercy
and 10 phiosophize upon the empty vanity of unexecuted
schepes of glory"

The Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin men
tons the receipt of late file Of papers, but says that
they contain nothing of particular interest On the
9Th ultimo Gen. JUAN MORALES, the Governor OF
Vera Cruz, issued the following address to the sol
ders under his command:

According to the Pcayune, at the latest dates
from the city of Mexico the revolution Of which
we have had previous accounts was not determined.
There had been much fighting and bloodshed, and
the troops appeared to be vaclating, One Of the
revolted regiments, at least had gone back to the
side Of the Government
Santa Annals report Of the battle Of uena Vista
was received at Vera Cruz on the 4th instant He
claims an indecisive victory, with the capture OF
two banners and three pieces of artillery; admits
the loss of 900 men, and asserts that the Amerl-
cans lost 1900; exaggerates the strength of our
army by stating it at 5000 or 5000; and concludes
the material part of his despatch as follows:
aThe only painful reflection have at this moment Is that
not biscuit particle of rice be had here for our
sick and wounded We have subed for many days on meat
alone Thus verified the complaints have heretofore made
of the neglect this army has suffered, from having to depend
for supplies its during the last two months
will now add that it is possible to carry on the cam
pagn successfully unless the army provided with all the
supplies required in war therefore think of moving back

leagues Distant provide myself with necessaes that
must have arrived the hacienda of Incarnation and
succeed obtaining those necessares, and relieve myself oil
