10 the l4thp April. We are indebted to the

Delta for our latest intelligence. 1850
Ii. Col. j. E. johnson was severely but
not mortally wounded while examining the
preparations Of Santa Anna near Cerro
Gordo. .sasJ sbss.5t t,se s,
A dragoon who had been sent express
from Gen. Twiggs was found shot on the
roadside on ell3th. His papers had not
been taken. A second express had arrived,
bringing the information that Santa Anna,
seconded by La Vega, and q force of near
$4,000 strong, had taken position be-
tween this and Jalapa,, which is said, by
those familiar with the country, to be very
strong. gs,e s''.ss s& f.F5
The correspondent of the Delta, writing
from Vera Cruz, April IA, says: -
There has been skirmish at Puente
Nacional; and we hourly look for the in.
telligence of the capture Of Cerro Gordo, a
strong mountain fort, twenty-five miles
from Jalapa. A decisive battle is expect
cd at this point, for il is the best vantage
ground this side Of Perote. Gen. Santa
Anna was at Or near Jalapa, at the last ac-
counts, but by this time, there is scarcely
a doubt that Cerro Gordo is carried by as
ssault. and the army in snug quarters at the
healthy and delightful city Of Jalapa.' II
It was thought that the Mexicans had
killed not less than 80 Of our men during
the threo days previous, on the road They
seem to be playing bolder and bloodier
game than has been usual with them for
some time.
: Gen. Twiggs' command consisted ofnot
less than $500 choice troops; and those un-
: der Generals Worth, Shields, and Pillow,
together with General Patterson's, had al
ready marched on the 18th to his assistance;
together with all the other forces, except
the Garrison Of the town and General Quit
mans brigade, He was expected to leave
in day or two, when his horses were land
ed
A plot for revolt had been discovered a.
rnong the Mexicans ut Tampico; and the
leaders had been forced to leave the place.
on penalty Of death if they returned.
1t was said that Santa Anna had with
him three or four prominent members oi
the Mexican Congress, with whose aid he
expected to negotiate peace with Mexico.
: Gen. Scott issued o proclamation on the
H,h, assuring the Mexicans ofthe friendly
disposition ofour Government towards the
peaceful inhabitants Of the country, their
civil snjoyments and rights, and their reli.
xion; and Of the determination to pay tor
sll such property as was necessary for our
army, that might be brought for sale; and
urging upon them attention to their own
domestic pursuits as the surest and mos
speedy means by which to end the war.

AWFUL SUIcIDE.-The Pittsburgh Post
of Saturday, contains an account of an aw-
full suicide committed in the Jail in that city,
by Frederick Reidel, under sentence of
death for the murder of his wife. We copy
the following from the Posts account of
the horrid affair:
yesterday morning, early, the news
spread through the city that Frederick
Reidel, under sentence of death, had taken
his own life!. We instantly visited the
Jail, where large crowd Of men had al
ready collected. From the ISLANDERS, the
Coroner selected a Jury, to hold an inquest
over the body Of the deceased, composed Of
the following named persons:
1--WE omit the names Of the Jurors
"The Jury were conducted to the inside
of the Jail and from thence TO Reidel's cell,
OH the second floor. The inside of the cell
presented the most awful spectacle we ever
beheld The floor was covered with blood,
in CONCEALED state, atfording evidence
that the tragical deed was committed during
an early part Of the night In the back
par; of the cell, Reidel was found hanging
by the neck, bespattered with blood. On
his left arm were discovered two wounds,
one about inches above the elbow, and
the other on the elbow in front. The wounds
appeared as il they had been produced by
some rough instrument, probably a piece
of glass, as the window above was broken,
and no weapon Of any kind could be found
in the cell. As death did not ensue from
the bleeding as soon as he wished, he then
tore strip off the blanket, about six inch
es in width. This he twisted and doubled
well. making nstrong rope about five feet
long. He then put the rope around his
neck, and fastened it to the water. pipe,
which comes through the wall some three
or four feet above the floor. In this posi-
ton he was found by the Jury, quite cold
and stiff. The rope was untastened from
his neck; he was then taken down to the
first floor, and the blood washed from the
body. 1t is proper to say, that, after dill
igent search, no weapon Of any kind could
be found in Reide's cell. A shee, of pa
lper was picked up in the cell, on which a
few lines were written in the German Ian
guage. Mr.. Sahl, one Of the Jury, gave
US literal translation Of the writing, as
follows, viz: ...F .....
81 don't wish to say it's any PERSONS
fault. don't like to be hung, and don't
know any person who it comes from.
| FREDERICK REIDELL."
l The writing was difficult to be read, ane
was without date"
After hearing the testimony, the Jury
returned verdict -'sFredsrick Reide
came 10 his death by bleeding and hanging
committed by himself"

TRADE WITH MEXICO.

The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, speaking of the bene> fits likely to result to this country from the opening of the Mexican ports to the trade of al! nations, says:
 "Should we be obliged to hold the coun> try for long time, as is very probable, the revenue that we shall collect will greatly reduce the burden of the maintainance of our force. There are. at this moment, at Havana, lhree millions ofdollars worth of goods entered for re-exportalion, which are destined for the Mexican market, and were brought into Havana in the expectation of an early peace. These goods will go into Vera Cruz al once. The intelligence of the opening of the Mexican ports is already in England, and in sixty days, there will be fleet of vessels at Vera Cruz, with goods and various supplies for the English mining companies and merchants, and for the country generally, which has long been debarred from supply of necessary goods for which it is well able to pay.
 "Bul still greater benefit will be deri- ved from this policy, through the vast trade about to commence between the United States and the posts of Mexico. There will he vast demand, in Mexico, for Amer ican produce and manufactures. The fol. lowing are only some of the articles and the value of them that, as furnished 10 me by merchants long resident in Mexico. will be exported to Mexico, during the first year from the United States: iron hollow ware four millions-knives, forks. cutlery gener. ally, ha1rows, ploughs, and farming uten- sils of all kinds, ten millions-wool and cotton manufactured, fifteen millions -floul and other bread stuffs, two millions onions two hundred thousand dollars fancy arti. cles, including ladies dresses, &c., thre' millions. Saying nothing about leather and many other articles, here we have . trade of thirty four millions to begin with.

 al Vera Cruz. GEN. SCOTT AT CHURCH.

Easte, Sundcy.--On Sunday morning last we entered church on the Plaza. and were grati6ed to see so full an attendance of our officers and men. In rather an obscure place on the left hand side of the ais'e. sat Gen. Scott and number of his friends. The General arpearedS devout and not like the many of Us who go o such places to cass an idle hoar. The entrance of the Gen>1al, ve are told, created no little as- ,orishmen. a:%ong the natives, and he was readily kHown s..,S whispered aecni as the Commander in ch!e; .t ths Americans.
 The doctrine has too lo.'g aeen proclaim. ed ihss we arc .he enemies Of that religion held 50 sacred hy the Mexicans, but we hops socu 10 convince them that we war sgaiass hs man for his r.lisious principles. ardneshiRg is bes,er calculated to deHon> strate this fact, than the presence at places ofworshiP, of the high in command among us. whose liberaiily of religious tolerance induces then to worship al any shrine the great Creator of the Universe.
 The scene in the church oa Easter Suns day, was indeed one of interest and solom nity. Many who the week before were sending death shots at each other, now, stan-
