PLAN OF THE BATTLE OF SASTA CRUISE.
A ground planof this brilliant achiovCmcnt,thc
last (probably) of the glorious actions which
have marked tho military prosecution Of the
war, has been received in this city from Ma
jor B. L. Beal, Of the first United States Dra-
eoon,-a gallant officer, who has seen hard
and distinguished service in Mexico, and was
promoted for good conduct at Cerrs Gordo.-
1t appears from this plan, that by judicious
disposition of hs little force, the command
ing officer, Gen. Price, completely surround
ed the place, commanding the approach
cs from all directions. The assault was then
made, and aftor desperate resistance from
the enemy within tho walls, was crowned with
decisive success. Major Bcal states that the
number Of our forces actually engaged was
1856; that of the enemy 900, and in well for
tilted position.-BaLtimore Patriot, Saturday.
GES. CUsHNG-T,HE PEACE TEEATY-
The New Orleans Crescent Of the Sth inst,
says" Wcshad the honor Of a passing call
from Gen. Cushing last evening, who informed
us that he intended posting on forthwith to the
North. Zen. Cushing is in the possession Of
the most perfect health and seems TO have
well withstood his residence and operations in
Mexico. We learn from the General that
there is little doubt Of the ratification Of the
Peace Treaty by the Mexican Congress. If a
quorum does not som convene at Queretaro,
the government will have the treaty passed
through the forms without quorum-that is,
II the American Commissioners will accept Of
it in that way"

AUX CAVES, April 14.-Our city and its
environs are in arms. The people are deter

present order of things, and to elect another
chief. The alarm gun has been fired in Ca
WALTON, st. Louis, Aquin and Aux Cages, and
business generally is suspended. Col. TOMS
Jaqucs, who is the chief Of this insurrection,
yesterday took forcible possession Of Cavaillon
twenty miles from Aux Cages, and is reported
to be marching on our city All stores are
closed. Every citizen is enrolled in the mill
tary ranks, and perform duty day and night.
The Ministers have resigned by the desire of
the populaee, and the newly elected ones are
afraid to accept Office. All is disorder and
confusion, and we have fears that the present
STATE of things may last for some time"
