 Here we are-we have lost about BUD pack mules-$iOO, ,OOO worth ofproPerty!
 The guerillas attacked us al one o'clock. We have lost about ten men out of thirty under Lieut. Walker of the Rifles. He was obliged to dismount his men in an open prairie for at the first fire seventeen horses broke from under their riders. Thirty men were net enough to protect $l,OOO,0OO worth of property.
 Yours, &Sc' H. G.
 The same paper of the Sth inst. has the following paragraph on the same subject;
 We understand that some of the mer- chants who suffered from the loss of the mules taken by the robbers left this city for Orizaba, or c .rdova we suppose to enter into an aTrangemen, with them. We wish them success,
 The Free American says the steamer Sontherner had been seized by the custom house authorities of Tlacotalpan for hay ing a quantity of powder concealed on board.
 The Arco Iris of the 9th inst. as we see by the Free American, has the following curious article;
 1Ae Treaty of Peace signed.-In let ter received by us yesterday from our cor respondent at JalaPa he informs ss that an individual holding high position in the American Army and whose assertions de- serve enllre credit said publicly and with out the least reserve, that from letters re- eeived at Jalapa from Puebla, on the lst inst, it is positively known that treaty of peace had been signed in Mexico. On being told that it was strange that this should be the case, as MT Trist had not the power to sign such u treaty he answered that Gen. Scott had takeA it upon his own responsibility to sign the treaty, in conse> quence of which the treaty had been sent to Qnere,aro for the appreciation Of the Mexican Government ..
 The Free American, pRt,ing no faith in the rumor, goes on to reason on the subject as follows.
 It is very strange. indeed, If this be true General Scott if he is dm ected by his Gov ernnent not to sign any treaty, would cer' tainly no, sign one. He is too we'll known for his obedience to superior orders to put himself ia a position that his cOun!rymaa might not approve. he has co much at heart the friendly feelings ofthoss whom he serves.
 The last annual message of the Presi' dent assures us lha; Mir Tris.'s powers had been revoked and iha, he was recalled. 1t is true that MT Trist has not yet left the ely of Mexico, but this he may do to a. wait farther orders from his government relative to the propositions of peace lately made by the Mexican Commissioners 10 which he could certainly not have received any answer from Washington before the lst of the present msnth.
 We w,sh to receive the news of peace from better soutce before we give credit to it. ...-.
