American victories in Mexico. The chill

: The Spanish nation, that once owned and
governed Mexico, sill seems to look with
anxiety as TO its fate. FL Heraldo, Of
Madrid, concludes long article with IN
effort to excite European jeaiousies at
American progress, and then adds:
a'Time alone can answer these questions;
but the history of the past affords us but
little comfort for the future. Within this
century the Union has acquired, successive,
ly, the Floridas, Louisiana, and Texas, and
it is now about to acquire the CALIFORNIA;
and some of the richest provinces Of Mexico.
Who shall fax limits to the power of the
active race which peoples ita Let il once

irresistible. It will hold dominion of the
seas; it will monopolize the commerce of
the whole earth. And when the English

From Monterey.

From Capt. Wilson, who arrived here
yesterday, directly from Gen. Taylor's
camp, we learn that the troops at Monterey
and Saltillo enjoy excellent health. Gen.
eral Taylor's present force consists Of the
I'd Mississippi volunteers, the lst Massa-
chusetts volunteers, the North Carolina
volunteers, and the Virginia volunteers;
some three companies Of Texas cavalry;
the 10th and 10Th regiments of infantry; q
detachment ofthe I'd and Sd regiments of
dragons, with Bragg's, Washington's and
O'Brien's batteries Of artillery. The
health of the ed regiment Of Mississippi
volunteers had greatly improved. No
cases Of the small pox were recently re-.
ported among them. 0. Della, l2th.

Further on, whilst passing through a
portion Of the State Durango, he learned
from his guide, that there was fort, about
fifteen miles from the direct route. He de-.
termined to attack it, and by night march,
arrived there the next morning about day
light. The fort, called Pellio, is situated
on the summit of q mountain in an open
plain. He Immediately summoned it TO
surrender, when, after brief consultation,
1t was given up. There were only few
men in charge Of it, but from its position
and command Of the plains, the garrison
might have successfully resisted the assault
Of greater force.
Without further interruption, Colonel NJ.
reached Saltillo on the 17th of Nav, and
left there for Monterey on the 23d; from
whence ne proceeded to the Brazos and
New Orleans. His command remained at
Saitillo, and it was expected that Colonel
Doniphan, with his force, would join them
on the 29th or 3O.h. At that place, ar.
rangements were made to furnish the troops
with SIX months pay, the first they have
received since they entered the service:
and after this they would move Immediate
~ on the route home. From the arrange.
ments made and making, and due allow
ance tor delays, he confidently expects
them TO arrive here. before the first and
fourth fJuly next.
We learn from Colonel M. that General
Taylor, in consideration of the gallantry
and noble bearing Of the Missouri troops,
had issued an order permitting them to
bring home the cannon and other trophies
taken by them in the battles Of Bracito and
Sacramento.
Colonel M. spent day at Monterey,
and had an interview with General TAYLOR.
He learned from General T. that he was
anxious to move forward to Quarretaro
that, as at present situated, it was impossi
BILE to do so. The whole Of his Limited
force was required to garrison the CO untr,
already captured, and keep open h is com
munication with the Rio Grande.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM THE ARMY.
COMMUNICATION WITH JALAPA
CUT OFF-A TRAIN ATTACKED!
PHILADELPHIA, June oath, IOh. som. A. NJ.
BY the arrival Of the steamer Massachu.
sets, at New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, on
tho 10Th inst, we have late, and very i'm.
portant intelligence from the Army, which
we hasten to lay before our readers.
The vomito was attacking our troops at
Vera Cruz, and the number Of cases was
materially increasing. The number Of
deaths was not given.
Our adyices state. that large train,
consisting Of one hundred and twenty five
wagons, and six hundred packed mules,
conveying the large sum of two hundred
and twenty fve thousand dollars to the
main army, had been attacked by very
large Guerilla band, near Vera Cruz, and
forty of our wagons had been captured.
They were fortunately. not among the
number Of those containing the money.
Two hundred mules were also captured,
which were laden with subsistence and stores
for the Army. The train was escorted by
eight hundred troops, and it is stated tha,
thirty Of them were killed in the encounter.
This arrival brings US no late intelligence
from General Scott; and there is much
anxiety prevailing on his account. When
last heard from he was on his syay towards
the City Of Mexico, and it was generally
believed that he was on the point of con-
cluding peace with the Government.
All communication with Jalapa has been
entirely cut of, and tho road leading from
Vera Cruz was in consequence filled with
bands Of Guerillas and other robbers and
murderers, who piundered and murdered
every party passing upon it.
Gen. Cndwallader was busy in making
preparations for opening communication
with Jalapa, and to this end was organized
as rapidly as possible, all the forces which
could be spared from Vera Cruz. With
these he would also be enabled materially
to swell the ranks Of the main army.
The reinforcements had been anxiously
looked for by Gems. Scott and Worth; and
were very much needed; as the enemy were
making strong demonstrations of fighting at
fortified point, eight or nine miles from
the Capitol. 1twas believed that the whole
lumber who would join Gen. Scott, under
the command OF Gen. Cadwallader, would
amount to about 1000.
The Guerillas were daily becoming more
daring and desperate; and the most severe
and summary measures were considered
indispensable, in order to prevent their
depredations upon our coun.rymen, Us well
as upon the unoffending Mexicans. They
had of late even ventured within the limits
of Vera Cruz to commit their acts of
robbery and murder.

By the arrival Of the steamer Mary
Kingsland at New Orleans, accounts have
been received from Vera Cruz to the 9Th,
and Brazos Santiago to the 18th inst.
The train (of which we gave an account
yesterday was attacked when only 20
miles from the city by band of 1900
Guerrillas, who charged upon the head of
the train. The troops under Col. McIn-
tosh gallantly met their charge, and repuls-
ed them; when they again formed, and o.
pened fire upon several points at once.
