were beaten off with the loss of twelve
wounded on our side-Capt. Caldwell, OF

the 18th Infantry among the latter. The
Mexicans have made great preparations
to capture this train, believing that it

were Immediately despatched from Vera

The principal event talked of on the
arrival Of the Alabama, is the return of

into the interior. The correspondent of
the New Orleans Picayune, writing from
Vera Cruz, gives the following pqrticu-

1t is with modification and regret that
have to inform you that Gen. Paredes
passed through our city this morning a
bout o'clock, In disguise, and before it
was ascertaned that such was the fact he
was far out of our reach on his way to the
! city Of Mexico.
He arrived this morning on the Royal

name, and entirely unknown to the Cap

came to anchor he Immediately came to
the Mole in pilot boat, and proceeded
through the heart of the city to the resi-.

from him round Jacket a sombrerO and
horses for himself and q servant and 'r0-
NOSE de ranch without ceremony. One
hundred dollars reward was offered for his
arrest as soon as information reached Co.
lionel Wilson that he was, or had been In
the city, and every effort was made to ar
rest him, but the bird had flown and
given us a specimen of assurance and cum
ming that would do credit to the father Of
Yankee tricks.
The Mexican merchant who assisted In
the escape is Pope Zamora, and during the
search for Paroles his house was surroun-
ded. The officer entered and was assured
by Sir Zamora, that Paroles was not in
the house. Has he been here?' was the
question asked. Yes replied Zamora.

self to me as Gen. Paroles, and asked me
to befriend him, and told him that
would. He then asked me TO let him have
jacket, hat and horses, which furnished
him Immediately, and he has been gone
from here two hours. You are welcome
to search, but | can assure you that you
will not find him here, and what | tell
you is so. There is his coat and hat.
