MARVELLOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-The
London Examiner, correcting misstatement in
regard to Major-G General Ponsonby, relates the fol-
lowing story Of another Ponsonby, WHO was at
Waterloo
Colonel Ponsonby, of the Twelfth dragons, was
stretched wounded on the ground, aud a Polish
lancer seeing some life in him, said, using filthy
expression, g., you are not dead" and delib-
crately ran his lance into the disabled mal's body
more than once. Some French rifemen then took
possession Of the ground where Ponsonby lay and
they made heap Of bodies they found on the spot
10 sort of parHpet, from behind which
they fired kneeng Ponsonby had the luck OF
being placed at the top of the pile, and the rifle
man who was using his body ar u shield and rest,
perceiving some signs life in him. instead Of act
ing the savage. dastardy lancer had done,
gave him drink of brandy out of his flask As
the day wore on, Ponsonby's sufcrings became so
utocra5le that he implored the friendly foe to put
his rife to his head and dispatch him, bit the gal
liant fellow said, "EO, cheer up the DAYS your
own, We are in full retreat farewell; must be
off"
We are afraid TO say how many wounds Pom
sonby had, we believe they were not under do
zen, and his survival was attributed to his remain
ing the ground exposed to the cold (cold it was,
though midsummer for nearly forty-eght hours,
which kept down fever that would otherwise have
,upcrvened. He recovered to tell the story we
have repeated, and few finer looking men could be
than lie was, after having been riddled and
pierced with dozen wounds.
But mark what death was in store for a man who
had survived what VIC have family described.
The hero died Of the merry thought Of chicken.
He was chokcd by chckcn-bone at Marret
Green. on his way to southampton, twenty two
years after his escape of all the horrors of the field
Of Waterloo.

Immediately formed and charged on the enemy,
who ran at the first fire. We then Immediately
took possession of the Town, aud after remaining

Our force was about two thousand, under Cen.

AFFAIR." in new Mexico.

ST. LOUIS, april 24.--A correspondence Of
the Missouri Repubncap, dated Fort Union
New Mexico, April 18Th, says: Colonel Slough

miles south of Fort UHion TLis gas deemed

distance OF Fort Union, poei,ien to harrasI

miles south We had been there one day, when
Col. Caaoy seat from Fort Craig his Assistant
AdjutAnt General with peremptory orders 70
Col. Slough 20 fall back with his column to
Fort UDiou, whlca was Immediately obeyed.
1t would seem that We crippled the enemy in
the hght q. ApaCheo Canon more than was be-
lieved at first. We have reliable information
that We killed over one hundred men, including
ak officers, and wounded over two hundred. -
We have now prisoners at Fort Union, twenty.
one ofticers and eighty.two privates. The enc
ny Immediately fell back to Santa Fe, and are
again, IL 10 believed, concentrating in their old
position at Albuquerque.
Yesterday an express arrived from Col. Can.

the 3lst OF March. If the enemy 10 in the vi

IL 10 understood that Kit Carson, with q regi

Ills rumered that COlonels S seele and BailOr
OF the rebel army, are advancing into New

Important events will probably occur before

A well authenticated report hss Just reached
here, that the Texan forces two thouSanC
strong are intrenchinz themselves at Santa Fe
and that Colonel Candy, having strengthened
his command to twelve hundred, ls ATTY milel
south OF saota Fe. This may enable our two

Defenses of New OrIeans-The Allies
an Mexico

New YoRK, April 24.-The Spanish steam
frigate Isabel Catolico has arrived from Ha
vana l7th The Diaro states that persons di.
rect from New Orleans report the rebel de
fenses much exaggerated; that Forts Jackson
and St Phillip have been abandoned and the
cannon taken away, and there is nothing tc
prevent the Federal feet sailing directly t.
New Orleans The Diafo does not vouch foI
the truth Of these reports.
Later news from Vera Cruz had reached Ha'
vana. After an unsatisfactory conference be-
tween the Allied commanders, the French Gen
eral decided to march his division against thu
city of Mexico, taking upon himself the re
sponaibilitY. The English and Spanish pleni
potentiariee thereupon decided to withdraw
their troops. 1t was stated that the Juare
Government Is ready to give every satlsfactior
to the Allies in the matter of claims, but vii
not listen to the idea of monarch, and In cas-
the Allies advanced to the capital, would re
tire from It.

bate ensued on the conHscation bill, in which

somewhat of the character of that which has

of the caucus seemed to be In favor OF dis

commenced the announcement of the decisions
on the proposals for conveying the mails on the
Pacific coast and in the West and Northwest,
etc. A large number Of bidders were in attend.
ance at the Postoiice Department. The propoS-
ais for the Pacific coast are very much higher
than formerly, and those for Kentucky and
Missouri are considerably advanced, owing
doubtless to the military disturbances 10 these
States; while In Indiana, Illinois and other
States the rates are lower. In all the number
of routes is about twenty Eve hundred, aysrag.
ing ten bids for each. The sum total of the
offers for the entire lettings is about equal 70
that of four years ago for similar services.
