To the fast-running passenger packet Sala-
din, we are again indebted for three DAYS la
ter news, and for the followinff highly i'm
portant intelligence, received by express in
New Orleans on Saturday the Sd inst, at 5
o'clock p. Nj. The Saladin, as usual, made
a very quick trip, and has had the good for
tune 10 bring the first account of nearly all
our victories.
Gen. Scott having completed his entrench-
ments, surrounded the city, and opened his
batteries at four O'Clock p. M. on the 22d
ult. The firing continued on both sides,
without iniermlssion, until the night of the
25th, up TO which time dreadful havoc had
been made in the city, o~ne-third Of which
was in ruins. On the 26th there was a VIC.
lent storm, and the firing was suspended on
both sides.
On the 9th, in consequence Of the losses
sustained, The people clamored for a surren-
der, and the Governor, Morales, having de-
clared his intention not to surrender while a
shot could be fired, was deposed, and Lande-
70 was appointed Governor in his stead. A
flag OF truce was then sent in, which, in the
J SOuISG VI lllG gay, resulted IN Inc surrender
of the city and castle.
The garrison was allowed to retire, not 10
serve again during the war.
The castle and city to be held in their pre-
sent condition till peace results between the
two nations.

navy, took possession on the Goth, the for,
mer taking up his quarters in the Palace.
Gen. Worth had command of the city,
Our entire loss was only II killed and %
wounded. The enemy's loss was unknown,
but the non-combaiants had suffered greatly.
The number Of lUomen and children killed Uas
rariouSLy stated at from 500 TO 1000!
One OF the most efficient batteries was
manned from the squadron, and the musquito
fleet did great execution in the city and cas-
tie, without sustaining any injury.
Gen. Scott refused to afford the British
and French c%onsuls an opportunity to leave
the city after the firing became hot. They
having refused to avail themselves of the FIRST
notification for all foreign residents 10 leave
the city before the bombardment commenced.
When the despatch left, Generals Twigg
and Qultman's brigades were under arms 10
advance upon Jalapa and Alverado, and it
was supposed Gen. Scott would Immediate
y advance upon the capital.
bNiihS III SdIS On lH6 SOln nearly lnlIly
merchant vessels were driven on shore at
SACRIFICES, most Of which will be lost.
The Princeton had been sent to Pensacola
with Com. Conner and Capt. Totem of the
Engineer corps on board-the latter wit. de-
s~patches for the Government.
The wholesale slaughter of men, women
and children looks very much like the work
of the disciples of Christ, does it not! Yet
