MExrco.-Another reverse in the fortunes
Of Santa Anna seems to be not very far dis
tant. The revolutionists in the South, though
they have sustained some defeats, seem able to
cope with his troops, while they have risen in
the North in such force as to capture and pos
sess themselves Of Monterey, the key of the
Sierra Madre. It appears that the place was
attacked on the 9th ult. by General Santiago
Vidori, in the morning, and captured after a
short engagement, together with the Black
Fort and oil that it contained.
Governor Cardona and about sixty officers
were taken prisoners. All the arms and am
munition, together with thirty pieces of can
non, fell into the hands of the insurgents.
This is a heavy blow to Santa Anna.
Carvajal had crossed the Rio Grande, near
Dayis's Ranch, just below Camargo, and Don
Macedonia Capistran had crossed a short dis
lance above Matamoros, with their forces,
intending to unite with the numerous insur-
gents. Capistran had already had a fight.
In one of the interior States, too, the revo-
lutionists are under arms.

Nh. PERRy-The late Secretary of Iega-
ton to Spain, whom the President so summa-
rily dismissed lately, and the Washington I'm
ion has assailed with SO much bitterness, is, &C
cording to q statement in the Baltimore Re
publican, q native Of New Hampshire, was
volunteer aid to Gen. Worth during the Mexi-
can wal, and was appointed Secretary by Gen.
Taylor, accompanying Mr.. Barringer to Ma
drid. he married q Spanish lady Of distinc-
tiol, and has an excellent position in Spanish
society. 1t was to his marriage with a Span
ish lady that the Union, made an ill-natured
a~llusion, as though it were a disqualification
for doing, his duty with fidelity, as an Ameri-
can Minister. We have seen nothing in the
proceedings Of any Know-Nothing Council
which is more intensely antiforeign than this
is, only they are probably honest in what they
say, and the Union is not.
Buckingham Smith, the successor Of Mr..
Perry, istsaid to be a good appointment. He
is a native Of Florida, speaks and writes Span
ish well. and has some diplomatic experience,
from having been Secretary Of Legation to
Mr.. Letcher in Mexico, and executed occasion
