Three Indiana officers had arrived at Tampico

Gen. Scott there, still actively engaged in further

Worth at the mouth OF the Rio Grande, with the

1t is rumored that an office of regiment, dis
patched by General Scott with an express to Gen
Taylor, and an escort of ten men were cut off, and
the whole put to death.
Nothing is stated of the movements of Santa
Anna or the Mexican forces.
The correspondent of the Picayune says, ru-
NOR was current at Vera Cruz of the assassination
OF Santa Anna for opposing the decree of Con-
gress, but this letter was dated at Anton Lizardo,
10th Of January, and probably refers to other re-
ports to the same effect, which it is believed can
not be true.
