Vera Cruz on the Goth inst, TamPico on the
god, and Brazos Santiago on the oath,
Ma. Gen, Patterson expected to commence
his marct for the interior about the gath inst.
The Genius Of Liberty has files Of papers
from the city Of Mexico to the 7th inst, but
had only time to say that the most profound
tranquility reigned in the capitol.
As soon as the new Government o. Senior
Pena y Pona was organized, tie fact was off
cially announced to the representatives of
friendly nations. Her Britanic Majesty's Min
lister at once replied, says a supplement to the
D'Grio, in terms most satisfactory and homo
rablo for their excellencies, the President and
Minister Of Foreign Affairs.
We give a brief note Of our Vera Cruz corr
respondent: =
VERA Cruz, carly morning Of The goth Oct.
GenHemen-1he Alabama is off this morn
ing, but there is nothing new TO write about,
the Genius Of Liberty having published the
only item worth %culling, Day before yester-
day about a dozen Of Hays Rangers encOun-
tered some two hundred guerrillas out towards
Santa Fe. The Mexicans charged on them,
but the Texans cody dismounted, waited till
they came within about thirty yards, and pour
ed a volley Of rifles into them, unsaddling a
number. The r%ascals being reinforced, at
tempted another charge, but were this time
met with Colt's revolvers,' the Texans never
budging an inch! The "boys'' all came in
safe.
The yellow fever is still taking off its vic.
Tins here. Lieut.. jenkins, of the LIST Dra-
goons, who had lately arrived with recruits,
died day before yesterday, and was buried last
evening with the usual honors.
By the kindness Of Dr.. Galvan we were
put in the receipt Of every important intelli-
gence from the city Of Mexico.
He left the city Of Mexico on the 9Th Of this
month, and on the llth, at 5 o'clock, P. M, he
entered Huatmantla "a town a little east Of the
Perote road, and about half way between Pc
rote and Puebla.) There he learned that the
force Of Gen. Lane had entered shortly before,
and SO sudden and unexpected was his arrival
that Santa Anna had barely time to get away
by another part Of the town. The Americans
captured two pieces Of artillery belonging 10
the force Of Gen. Santa Anna, which the lat
ter in his hurry had not time to remove, and
also took two prisoners, Col. Vega and Itur-
bide.
Santa Anna, after leaving Huatmantla,
which he did at the head of 1000 horse, was
reinforced by 1900 men Of the command of
Gen. Reyes, and both remained in the neigh
borhood of HuamantIa till Gen. Lanes depar-
ture, after which this tow was again taken
possession of by Gems. Santa Anna and Reyes,
who, following up the rear guard Of the Anne
ricans, killed several men, principally inebri-
ated stragglers, and took twenty prisoners
The Mexicans took two pieces Of artillery
with them, one a brassI3-pounder and the 9TH
era l6-pounder Of the same metal.
Gen. Rea sailed out of Puebla at the head
Of a pretty considerable force, and was await
ing at Ell Pinal "a town a few. miles south off
Huamantla, on the same road to Puebla) the
approach of Gen. Lane, whose flank and rear
the Mexicans are r. ported to have been inces-
sanity harrassing. But we know and we are
confident that though the Mexicans should
muster a force four-fold the amount of that
which it is reported that they have, yet Gen.
Lane the Buena Vista hero, will e~xtricate him
self with honor and with glory from their
midst, and will form a junction with his gene
raj, unscathed by the ordeal of passing thro,
the soldiers Of Gems. Santa Anna and Reeves.
The decree by which it was ordained that
Mr.. Pena y Pena should take charge Of the
supreme power, in conjunction with two asso-
%ciates, has been repealed, and Santa Anna has
again been called upon to assume the reins of
Government, if it can be called one, and the
command Of the army,
Gen. Paredes is in Tulancingo, endeayorinp.
and with some success, it appears, to establish
his monarchical system. He has of late %receiv-
ed some very important converts to his politi-
cal principles.
Gen. Valencia is at his hacienda passing
away his time as ugreeably as he can, taking
no part in the national affairs. We suppose
he is only abiding his time,
General Bravo is in Mexico, quiet, and on
parole.
The sembIance of the Mexican Government
met according to appointment at Queretaro,
on the 9Th, but there not being any thing like
a quorum present, nothing was done.
Peace is as far off as ever; the feelings Of
the people are said to be most strenuously OBJ
posed to any compromise with the North Ame-
%ricans; in fact the hostility which exists a.
gainst us in the interior towns, cities and viii
lagos, is reported to be of The most bitter kind.
The other leading men and generals have
gone for the most part to Cuernavacn, in the
terra cGLente. (Cuernavaca is a town seven
teen leagues south Of the city Of Mexico, on
4 ~ 5000
