resistance of the army of the Republic, succeeded the bombaIdment of the city by the American army which was in possession ~ the Catadel and other fortified points in the subuIhs. We regret that we are unable to give to our readers more detailed in formation, everything leads us believe that the losses and misfortunes which the unhappy inhabi- tahts of the city Of Mexico have suffered have been immense. induced as well by a sOulless mob, as by the bombs of the enemy.
 Letters from Pueba also inform us that Gen. Req entered Puebla, and that city suffered a horrible bombardment by the Americans from the fortified heights; that Gen. Herrera marched towards Quer- retaro with the remainder uf the army which lelt Mexico, and that Santa Anna, with 2000 cavalry, was m Tlaxcala. with the intention of proceeding to Puebla, to unite bis forces with those of Gen. Req, and cut ot the communication of the Ameri- can army with the coast
 While writing these lInes, we have received a manifesto issued by Gen. Santa Anna, on the 18th in the city of Guadalupe de Hdalgo. In it he re- noances the Presidency of the Republic, and ap- points in his place the President of the Supreme Court of Justice, SenoF Pena Pena, who, with two colleagues. shall be the depository of the Sus preme Power until Congress shali meet and make an election. He elso promises anew to combat, even to the last drop of blood for the liberty of the nation. Tomorrow we will publish this new and important burst of patriotism and decision. In Papanila, there occurred popular commo- ton, in which the citizens Meza Nunex and others, were killed. We will give hereafter more informa- ton concerning this. fr [In explanation Of the bombardment above alIu. ded to, find the following statement in the cor respondence oI La PafTia, of this eity:1
 On the Ilth, 18th, 18th or Septe mber, Gen Scott attacked the city of Mexico with bdt little success, having been repuised several ti6hes with serious loss. On the l4th, he succeeded in obtaining ros- session of Chapultepec and the Citadel. and com menced the bombardment of the city from the Paseo, the Citadel and San Cosme. In the evening Santa Anna evacuated the city, publishing mani. festo in which he says that, to avoid the destsuc- ton of Mexico, he retires to the city of Guadalupe, from which place he would concert his future ope- 1 raons. As the Mexican troops had with. drawn from the city. the Leperos, began horrible sack. Two of the Alcaldes begged of the Ameri- can General that he would come and protect the property and oceapy the city The General sent a | column, with two pieces of artillery, upon which 1 the population rushed, capturing the pieces, and routing the coiumn the remains of which sought a 1 refuge in the Convent of San Francisco In con. sequence of this, Gen. Scott bombarded the city until the evening of the 5th. when he entered as far as the Palace The loss caused by the sack ex- ceeds three millions of Dollars.
 The same correspondent sets dowh the force of Gen. Req ali PuebIa at 5000 men, and represents the Americans as confined to the entrencheL camp on the heights of Frontera.

LETTER FROM GEN. WORTH. The following letter from Gen Worth to Judge Butler, of South Carolina, communicating the death ofs his brother, the gallant Col Butler, will be read with interest
 TAcUBAYA, Mexico. Aug 9. Sir; trust cordial intimacy and friendship of twenty-five years with your late brother, the gal lant Col Butler will excuse the respass of s,ran- ger. Your brother fell most gloriousiy in the great battle of the 20th, before the gates of Mexico. In that bloody conflict no man gave higher evidence of vaior and patriotism or exhibited brighter example He fell when it was Gods will precisely as he would have desired to die. His body rests here: his memory in the hearts of his countrymen, his spirit, bright and pure as his blade, with his God The enclosed letter. written the day before the battle did not receive until tine day ater through the hands of Dicknson and it is not because of the kind things said by friends partiaty but because it is probably the last letter he penned, that send it to you begging that at future day may be returned to me. 10 be preserved and cherished
 The gallant Pamettoes, who showed themselves worthy of their State and country, lost nsarlv one. half. This victory will carry joy and sorrow into halfthe families in South Carolina Col Dickinson is getting on well. and will, it is hoped, save his leg. An armistice is concluded, and com meet to morrow to treat Of peace. God speed them. Very truly, your obedent srevant,

The democratic State convention of Massachu- setis was held al Boston tine 22d ult., and Gen Cushing, now in Mexico nominated the candidate for Governor. and II. ". Cushman for Lieutenant Governor. There q long series of resolutions passed on the occasion. In those re- ported to the meeting and adopted by 1t no allusion is made ts the Wilmot proviso. Almost every thing else was praised or condemned. Before the meeting adjonrned the following resolution was proposed:
 Rssoirsd. That the principles of sound and con sistent democracy demanded of the democratic par ty frm and unwaverng resistance to any further extension of slavery in the territory hereafter ac quired by the United States.
 After this was discussed sometime. t was laid on the table on the plea that it will be time enough to consider the subject after we shall have acquired additional territory.

Unfortunately those vile certificates. which showed that said Haskell was foremost in a re- treat, and apparently bud scared, has put qui- etas on this attempt. But along comes a letter ascribed 10 General Pillow--ridoolous enough but which 1t turns out he never wrote. Still it oid, and still does well for whig comments as t he wrote every word of it.
 The conduct of the General at the late battle was that of a good commander and brave man but some one writes letter giving him al the credit of the fight. Immediately the yhigs con Jectnre that he wrote it himself, when tue most probable conjecture is, that it was written by a political enemy to injure him. That he wrote ii himself every one knows Is false; and the con Jecture that he did is hut continuance of that party malignity which has pursned Gen Pillow ever since he entered the service of his country. better service.

Valencia at Consreros.

A correspondent; of the New Orleans Times gives the following account of ValeEcas conduct at Con- tTeros, which agrees with what Saota Anna says of him:
 "valencia was more than half drunk, and had spent the early part of the nigbt in alternate freaks of good and bad hamor; in one minute eursing. and the next promoting his officers. and dispensing com missions on every hand. Santa Anna seemed to be fearful of some accident and at time sent aid 10 caution him against the probable intentions of General Scott, but old Valencia told the messenger to "go 'o---;" Ora al earrojo.'o he couid ''take care of his own division without Santa Annals as sistanee," &e. Whenever any one of his own off, cers would bring him report of lhe movements of the Americans, he would drive them from him with curses f"cowaflice." the worst epitheis in the esA.:laIy of Spanish b1aekguardisin To this fact IS to be attributed, ia great measure, the qlnck de- straetion oi his force, as he utterly inprerared when The attack was made"

Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper. l

WASHINGTON, Sept 20. lS47.
 It will be at least mosth before an investigation into the charges preferred against Col Fremont come before a court of enquiry. Col. Benton, his father law, will act as his counsel; at least, such is the belief It is not unknown to many that, after the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia Palma Col Benton advised the expedition to Santa Fe and California; to which recommendation the .,dminis- traton assened; and, further, that at Col Benton s suggestion, Col. (now Gene.aE Kearney was ap- pointed as the commander Now, it would look somewhat strange 10 see Col. Benton defending Col. Fremont against charges preferred by the same Gen. Kearny who was selected by the same Col. Benton's advice. The public sympathies are with Fremont. Perhaps no other young man in the world, in so short time, has rendered such mpoi- tant services in science to his country aad taken important part in the birth of an American com monwealth. As an explorer, a civilian and fight ing man. he is able; and he says. truly, that the testimony his trial "will be inc means of giving valuable information 70 the Government, which il might sot otherwise be able 10 obtain, and thus tighten it both with respect to the past and the future"
