Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1847-07-03

Congress has refused to except his resignation
We have about 5000 men at Puebla, under
command of Worth and Quitman.
Gen. Scott will remain at Pueba until he is
reinforced. Gen. Bravo is in command OF the
army at the Capitol.
Santa Anna has published quite flaming &C.
count Of the affair between him and General
Worth, at Amozoque. The truth is that he
had large force Of cavalry, which was attack
ed by Col. Duncan's battery, and Maj. Bonnie
vile Of 9th Infantry. He did not wait to re.
ceve more than one volley, from which, how
ever, he sustained a heavy less, and then
fled in the widest disorder towards the capitol.
Since the above was written, we have learned
tina, in the affair between Gen. Cadwailader
and the Mexicans, at the National Bridge, the
company of Lieut.. Bakey, Of the newly raised
voltgeurs, with two howitzers, charged the
barrcades and swept them with few dischur
ges from the howtzers. In passing through
however, Lieut.. Blakey received a heavy fire
from the enemy on the ridge which commands
the bridge, by which he sustained severe loss
Of one killed and four wounded, the Lieutenant
himself being wounded in the leg. They also
lost several horses. The heights were then
CALAMITY carried, the enemy flying from before
them in great confusion. When Gen. Cadwal-
adler had passed the bridge, he was attacked
by large party OF guerrillas, who kept up
continual fire on his men for long distance
At Cerro Gordo il was thought, from the reports
of heavy firing, that the enemy had made a
strong stand in great numbers, though no ap-
prehension was entertained for the safety of
Gen. Cadwallader's command, who was mov>
| ing in a bold and steady manner, the only way
to deal with the Mexcans. Capt Gates COM
pany of Sd Dragons being sent by Gen. Cad
wallader TO the rear, to reinforce the guards Of
The train, were attacked by large force OF
lancers, whom they attacked and repulsed with
considerable loss.
There is much sickness at Vera Cruz, but
very little in the Castle. Col Wilson publish
es card in The Eagle, pronouncing the state.
ment Of Col. Mata, that La Vega had been
confined in the guard-house Of the Castle, to be
false.
The little party, who cut their way from Ja-
lapa 10 Vera Cruz, and so narrowly escaped
the many perils that surrounded them, express
themselves under the greatest obligations tc
Capt. cambridge, Mr.. Harms and Adj. Dut;on
for their cooress, prudence and Judgment in
conducting them in safety through their many
dangers.
Gen. Cadwaluder is much praised for the
energy and promptness of his movements tc
the rescue Of Mcintosh, and for the bravery
and skill with which he scattered the swarms
Of guerriIlas, grown confident by the success o
their previous enterprises.
Gen. Scott was at Puebla at the last accounts
The editors Of Ell Arco Iris, had received dates
from the Capitol up TO the ed of June. Santa
Anna had second time sent in his resignation
Of the Presidency. Congress had not, howev,
or to bot cd liz hal n.
made formal remuneration Of his office a.
Commander in Chief Of the army; which, like
his resignation Of the Presidency, remained il
Acknowledgements no. having acted upon Ell
Their.
Rejon, and five other generals, whose names
are not given, had been arrested and sent t
the different States for confinement.
The gallan, Capt. Walker has commences
his work of retaliation on the guerrilas. On
the morning Of the 9th inst. he started with hi
command from Peroe, on an expedition SOM
distance into the interior. During the expedi.
ton he succeeded IN capturing nineteen guer
rllas and an Alcade--he has employed them il
cleaning the streets and sinks.
A letter had been received in Vera Cruz OIL
The 18th inst. previous TO the sailing OF the Gal
weston, direct from the head quarters OF Gen
Scott, stating that Gen. Scott has issued order
for the removal of the government from Vert
Cruz to Tuxpan. This change was said TO be
in part, owing to the sickness in Vera Cruz
and because communications could be more ca
silly kept up between Tuxpan and Puebla thai
between the latter place and Vera Cruz. Al
the public stores in Vera Cruz would. in tina
case, be removed to Tuxpan, and troops, only
sufficient to garrison the place, left at YER
Cruz. The activity displayed among the diff
erent vessels in the harbor OF Vera Cruz il
shifting the cargoes from vessels having Blu
small portions of Government property Of
board, into others nearly full, with the eviden
intention OF a move. would 60 far TO confirm tn
rumor of change in the base of operations.
