CURE the most impn,tant intelligence
brought by This srlivsi relates 10 I'll al
s-rk ~ on > large train by The Mexican
guetrlIlss. which has been paf.lsiIs sut.
ressfnl. by The Fanny we learned thai
tram was o. leave Vera Cruz on the
morning ef the 9Th inst. ioF Pmbla, In.

The msIn Tad in charge s225,0O0 in
specie. OF which sum ole hundred thou.
sand belonged TO The Pay masters Depart
ment, the remainder TO tie unsrtefniss-
ief's. One hundred and twenty five az
ens and Elk hundred pack muics wtIe nj
the train, which was escorted by 500
troops. e~'
The train left Vera Cruz on The night
al the 4th inst, aud on Sunday The 9th.
when II had sdssncstl about % miles, il
was attacked by large party Of gucssIE
las. The place - az well selected for the
purpose by The Mexesnr, beipg repuesen-
ted as d, file broad enough Tor a single
wagon only. Its said. too, thsi sligh
works had been throw n up by The Mex
cans to obsifuct our advance. The a.
tack was made upon each extremity Of
the Train snd upon the centre q. the same
''me. the principal point however being
The wagons which we're supposed 10 con.
tam the specie.
Private accounts represent that The 81
tack was so far success slul that forty Of our
wagons we're destroy ed--ihough no, those
containing the specie hundred mules
loaded with subsistence were taken, and
thirty Of our men killed. The American
Eagle Of the OH says our lnss is vauously
estimated al from four 10 twenty, bu, prl.
vate accounts, from responsible sources,
give the loss IS We have done. at thirty
men. Tue ckesk was 80 sesefe that Col.
Mcintosh determined not tn hazard an
advance withou, re,nIorcemen,s. Our
troops accordingly en,renched themselves
behind Their wagons, and despatehes were
sent of II Gen. Cadwaiader al Vera Cruz.
The general left on Monday evening. the
18th instant, with force oil about five hun
d'ed men and four howl gers. P,vate
accounts say further that on The l0tIr
part Of The vol'igeurs also let,, with ious
how':zers, 10 Join the train.
= The Eagle represents that our troops re.
cei-ed the attack wiih the utmost GOODNESS,
and that the enemy. beng repulsed, I'LL
back towards The Pnen,e Nacion.I, which
some suppose they may allompl to defend.
M later news from the train had been
received the morning of The ll,h, The day
,he Massachusetts left. On the 10Th .
large mail vac t!e.patclied to this rot on
the propt Her Washington. WHICH NAV be
h"u'ly expected. Her letters may bring
us further details. *-a.s.
NJ later news has heen rcceised from
the army Of Gen. Scott. The reason 10
obvious; for The present at least the CON-
mnnic alton has been cut entirely of. We
d" mt regard this as at all alarming. for
Gen Cadw4laier will no doubt open a
passage to Jtlapa at once: but i. ind,rates
a necessity Tor some cavalry fntce upon
the line to clear away the brig ln,ls whrch
iniesi II. and who mu>t have mustered in
greater iorce than had been anticipated 10
attack a train guarded by 800 troops. ~.:.
Bu. The audscity OF these gurnillas
does mt stop here. They are entering
Vera C'uz and stealing our horses. F.r
several nights alarms had been creaud in
the CITY by-.hese predatory attempts. PR.
cate letters say that stxty horses were
stolen from onripen in the ImmeJ,a ,e vici-
nifty Of the town. A regimen, Of Texas
Rangers, il seems to us, would find am
pie scope for employmen in The vicinity
Of Vera Cruz. - *@ .@-- 81 =
