TELEGRAPHlC INTELLIGENCE.
Summary.


Although Sunday is ordinarily day of CON-
parative rest and quiet to the telegrsphic opera
tore, yet we were yesterday, through their aid,
placed in possession of intelligence from the
war quarter of highly exciting and interesting
character.
1t seems that the indefatigable Gen. Lane has
had terrible conflict with a large party of Mexi-
can lancers, which, although attended with but
trlfilng loss to our troops, nevertheless resulted
most fatally to the enemy. This encounter does
not seem TO have been a mere guerilla affair !;
and from the character of the enemy's troops
engaged on the occasion, it would appear that
the Mexicans themselves are not much disposed
to observe the armistice which, we are inform
ed, has been agreed upon.
Santa Anna had received his passports, under
the presumption that he intended to leave the
country but 1t seems that instead of doing SO,
he has placed himself at the head of large
body of troops-and may yet afford los Yankis
an opportunity to obtain little more glory.
The prospects OF the meeting of the Mexican
Congress were as unpromislng as ever.
Some difficulty had occurred in the city of
Mexico, relative to the collection of taxes-for
particulars of which, together with other matters
of interest, we refer to the dispatches below.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1848-03-27

IMPORTANT FROM CENTRAL AMRR1cA.-DEarn
OF PATRICK WALkER-We learn from Mr.
Thompson, passenger on board the schooner
Hallowell. which arrived yesterday, from Blue
field, G. A. that few days previous to his de-
parture, which was on the 18th ult., MIR. Little
and Mr.. Hudson, the latter the commandant at
Bluefied, had been taken prisoners by the Span
iards, and carried into the interior. Some of
the English followed by the way of the river st.
John Nicaragua, as far as Serapakey, where
they were met by about sixty Spaniards, who
fell upon them: In the melee, a number of the
Spaniards, and four EngIishmen were killed,
and SIX wounded.
1t was known at Blue6eld, that the prisoners
were taken to Leon, and the pursuers still in
chase. The British. steamer Vixen, was about
to. proceed up the river. The frigate Alarm was
OIL the port.
Patrick Walker, of the Mosquito notoriety,
anert to the Indian king, and Consul General for
the British government, was drowned on the
10th February, in the river st. John. He was
passenger on board of boat, which came in col
l.sion with another, and is supposed to have
been knocked overheard as the boats struck.

AUGUSTA, GA, March 26, lS4S.
Intelligence to the goth inst, Of highly In
terestiDg character, has been received from New
Orleans, via the overland express.
The steamship Massachusetts. and ship Dan
vers, from Vera Cruz, had arrived, with advices
to 18th inst
18th inst, and on the fourth day arrived at Sc
queltaplan. Before arriving there, however, in
formation reached him that body OF 300 lancers
was awaiting their arrival to attack them.

were suddenly assailed with terrible volley.
The enemy. from escopete batteries on the in
side, supposed they could gain an easy victory.
burst in twinkling, and all the assallsnts found
within were killed. The same was the case
with the next house.
The Americans determined to drive the enemy
from their defences.
House after house was taken by sanguinary
struggle, until at last the town was cleared.
Not satisfied with the result, the lancers col
lected large body outside the town, where thew
were attacked by Gen. Lane and Col Hays, who
cut them up in n terrible manner.
One hundred of the enemy were killed, and
but one American killed and four wounded
Fifty prisoners were taken, among them Lieut..
and Lieut.. Martiney. Father arauta escaped.
1t Is rumored that Generals Pillow and Worth
are restored to their commands.
The debarkation Of our troops was celebrated
An armistice was signed, STIMULATING that the
Americans should not occupy. any part of the
country not at present in their hands.
The collection of taxes had been suspended
except those on gaming houses, liquor shops, and
places of amusement.
When elections are held in any place occupied
by the Americans, the latter are to Withdraw
from such place until the election is over.
There are also number OF other articles, CIV
ing the Mexicans almost the entire right to the
government.
Some difficulty had arisen at the capital rela-
tive to suspending the collection of taxes for
four days, until the armistice could be concluded
All the members OF the Ayuntamiento sent in
their designations, and the Archbishop of the
capital presented written protest against the
heavy assessment on church property.
AdvIces had been received from Queretaro,
stating that the Congress was slow in coming
together-only twenty-one members being pre-
sent at the last meeting.
A court martial had been convened by General
Worth.
Santa Anna is at Tehaun. On the 18th, GO
vernment gave him a passport, supposng it to be
his intention to leave the country; but In this he
acted with his accustomed .dup!icity, his object
being to put himself at the head of a large body
of troops
