The opposition made by the enemy was one.of the most obstinate nature.M ab'dnort until steel crossed steel did thedy ve way: The second -division of regulars- ;under Gen. Twiggs, and the volunteers under General ShieJds. have won iinperishable glory in the fight. The regulirs; from their position, performed mos fo the-work, and in a gallant style, too, didhey accom plish it. The Brigade immediately -under the command of the undaunted "Harney, regardless of everything but victory,inarch ed up the ascent to Cerro-Gordo amid the death-dealing volleys of the enemy: nor stopped or faltered until the enemy were driven in dismay from their works, and the Stripes and Stars of otr'glorious land waved in triumph from the enemy's bat tlements. Col. Riley, with the second brigade of regulars, rendered great service in the fight. and added to the reputation he already en joyed-that where work was to be done, he was to be found. Gen. Pillow with his brigade, made a gallant charge upon a fortification of the eqemy, but from its strength-being as ststed" by a fort on the left and right, he was foreed to give way, after suistaininig a heavy loss, and before he could renew the attack, the enemy had surrentiered. When we contemplate victories lhke this -achieved under-the disadvantages which attended our troops-we wonder that the ensemy will still, persist in .wit hholding the settlenrient of that vexed question which keeps the. twvo tepublies at swvords points~ --They have met us ini six fights-Pao Al to, Resacca de Ia Palma,.Monteruy, Bue na Vestn. Vera Cruz, and Cerro-Gordo *?in all of which they have: not only been advantageously po'sred, but hatve doubtled, Irebled, ay, quadrupledlus in numbers, ind'still the result is the same. WVe'hould think that battles such as these, won un - der the circumstances, ought to be a suffi cient indication that the Amnericans do not mean to be whipped, nor will they whilst thore is a handful left to carry on the fight. On every occasion, when there is a fight, the defeat of the Mexicans, Mich is invar iable, is accounted for andI attempted to be explained away by some~ unaccountable -accident, or the sale of'the fight by the T eaders of the lNiexicans'. Even here, at Cerro Gordo we hear the contemptible plea adduced that Santa Anna was not quite ready for us-that-the attack was made a. little sooner than he-expected, arnd hence his discomfiture. 'Reader, he never r ill. he ready whilst cotending with our .-. ~-ruops, and he will, unless put dowvn, sa Serice thousands of lives,- in..-a cause in b~.wich he knows nought-btot defeat awaits an lrm Santa Aorta claired she victory, at *1MJ~iena Vista-nor should we.he surprised torsee him blazon fornh-his:operationsat - e'Vrro-Gordo in the same- key. -may be - egolium- in' us,- but'w'ei'feel cer tains that whereverl-and whenever:wve meet- the sne - :my, ha will'e the Giretato depar. fromw the field. -The- Mexicani soldier fights well, bu- those -o whom ho is opposed reof a stock that knows no superior, and thi consider it sufficient glory to be allowed die- for their country's cause. Then, wi such men as these for enemies, .possessit intermineable resources, and capable bringing a million of men into the field, it not suicidal to hold out longer ? If it w our lot to be a Mexican, we would oppo every obstacle to the advance of an enerr into our country, but after urging evet practicable means to check theirapproac we would not ' bite off our nose to spi our face." - The Mexicans have oppost us with credit to themselves. but sufferir defeat in every fight, and being complet ly crippled in resources, honor ceases to 1 a virtue when by futile attempts to mail tain it, the dearest interest of home and kii dred suffer. The world knows and ai knowledge's our superiority in strengtl and, therefore, it would detract nougl from the credit of Mexico to acknowlcde the corn, and place her people again i quiet and ease. REMONSTRANCE OF THE-AMEfi LCAN PRISONERS IN .MEXICO. CASTLE ST. JAGO, (City of Mexico) M'arch 24th, 1547. To his Excellency Gen. Santa Anna : Sir-The undersigned officers in the At my of the U. States of America, respect fully state to your Excellency,. that the; together with their respective command consisting of seventy one persons in al became prisoners of war to the Mexica Republic at tte'Hacienda Enearnation o the24th January last. On that mprnin before day light, we found ourselves sut rounded by a large force-say three thou sand men, and about sun rise a white fib approached us on one side and a consider able force on another; we required the that the troops should retire, precedent t receiving our flag, whichbeing complie with the flag approached and a surrende demanded. We took one hour to deter mine whether we would entertain a posi tion of the kind or not; at the expiratil of the hour the flag returned, and we an swered that we would hear a proposition and were told that Gen. Minon would sen a: major-to our camp, while one of ou number of equal rank should repair.to hi head quarters and hear his offer. This be ing done, Major Gaines rode out to th General, had a conference of about on houi with him, returned to the Haciend and in the presence.df an inierpreter o each side, stated'the terms offered, whicr were accepted, 'and between .eleven an twelve 'oc ion erpo s stbe igena irnse tu1ild ectjive'tie sword ofourcomman or:*, and .priyate pr.operty. should be. res pectedi ,and that the best treatment in ev ery .particular,. known amongst civilize nations to.pgisoners of w ar should be ouri The general when asked to reduce thes terms to writing,gaveus the most positiv assurances that, his word of honor wa worth more than three or four signatures and. that unless his agreement was full carried out, he would abandon the servic of his country. On our journey to thi .place, we had the gratification to met your Excellency. and after stating to yo the terms of ourcapitualation, received at surance that they should be corplied Witi The object of this note is to complai to the Head of thq Mexican Republic, the so far from the terms of our capitulatio being complied with, we have been fre quently subjected to the most grevious de privations, and athat we have refraine from making our protest hitherto in conse quence of the unhappy diseussion said 1 exist in the capital-which being now foi tunately adjusted, as we are informed, w most respectfully call your attention our condition.. We forbear at this timefrom entering ir to the particulars of otr complaints, an beg leave to refer your E xcellency Gen. Vega, who has lately been a prisor er of' war in the United States, (but wh has not honored us with any notice wha ever,) for the manner- in which prisuol of war are treated in our country. There is however one corrplaint whic we owe to ourselves to call your immediat attention to. We are informed that Ger Minon, in reporting our capture to his gc vernment, alleges that we surrendered discretion, and that we oweour lives totli magnanimity of the Mexican Republie Against such a statement we enter our sc lemnn protest: and declare that the ternm of our surrender being accturately statedi the foregoing part of this note, anythiu inconsistgnt thereto is unfounded in fact. Hoping that a pence between the twv Republics shall spedily be made, upo terms equally honorable to both, wve sut scribe outrselvos. Your most obedient servants, [Signed.} Jyo. P. GAiIEs, Maj. Ky.

SCOTT'S AhMY, ig It was not until yesterday that we were I- placed in possession of the following let e ters received here on Tuesday by the Ma I- ry Kingsland. [t will be seen that .Mr. t. Kendall's letter is later than anythiig heretofore received from Jalapa. while the a, letter from Vera Cruz gives a more defin it ito accotint of the occurrences near that e city reported in our last .upon verbal an u thority. The most interesting passage in Mr. Kendall's letter is that announcing that Majors Borland and Gaines. Capt. Clay and the other officers taken in the North, together with Passed Midshipman Rogers, are at liberty in the city of Mexico. The next step is to insist upon th6 immediate - release of the men who were takediwith - Major Gaines. Mr. Kendall's remarks upon a peace s party in Mexico will attract attention. He , has facilities for forming an opinion on the i subject which the newspapers affprd us. t i Were we to rely upon the latter alone we ; should form a judgment very different from I - our associate, but we do not doubt at all t - that he has access to sources of information t far better than our own. VaRA CauZ. May 13. 1847. I Gentlemen-A band of about 200 Mexi cans has been prowling about the mount I ed riflemen's camp. four miles from this j r place, two nights in succession. and last - night the men were aroused twice by the approach of Mexicans. I Early ibis morning our gallant Captain I Walker started out to give them battle and ' i had a nice little skirmish, killing four of I the enemy by the time my informant, an I r officer of the Rifles, left, and he represents j i Walker a long.way ahead of the scene of C - the first brush, following them up.. I guess s the enemy will find that they have got hold I a of the wrong chap before Capt. W. has I t done with them.

May 11, 1S47. - Since the diligencia went otrt at noon to pay for Vera Crui, another diligencia has i t come in from the city of Mexico full of t passengers, and bringing news of nota lit- i i tie importance. Among the passens.ers - was Mr. Kennedy, who, after being badly i - treated here about the istof April, was :I driven to the city of Mexico. ' I All the passengers confirm what I wrote I o you this morning. They say that at the ' capitol there was no Government,, no or- -i a der, no responsibility-all was anarchy. I a Anaya was still President pro' lerp., but1 had neither influence nor authiority. 'A - new Presilent is to be elected on tIre 15th d of the present month-the tentir Chief a Mngistrate this distracted couttiu'y has had - within the last eighteen months.' 'I cannot o stop to count them all up, but such is fact. - Tihe ladrones-guerrillas I sup pose they a should be called now-are busy at 'work"r upon the roads, especially betwveen "Tab h bla and the city of Mexico. The same o passengers were robbed the other day no .less than seven times in one stage, and the inference is that the last reobbers-must have t had rather poor picking if the first wei-e e v*ry searching in their operatioris.' "''he - diligencia in which Mr. Kennedy 'cam. down was robbed twice on the road. s It is stated that the propuisitions made a by England some months 'sineef to off'er g her intervention in settling~the'dirulties' between Mexico and the' United .States, a have recently been taken 'up by the Mcx n ican Congress, and after 'a warm discus-1 - sion, in which one of the' memberi 'said 'fat the whbole affair was but another at-i tempt of the monnvchies'upon the macred' liberties of the Mexican' Repdiblic' the 'aro- 'I lion eveni to consider them wvas 'lo'st by a'' vote of 44 to 33.

He gives his' own account of tha battle of Cerro Gordo, and claims-a grent victory ont the first day of the fight. On the second day'Providence, according to his story, gave the'advantage r to the Yanketes. 1-ic says Inothing about the exertions of tho latter. Santa Anna t states that he tnow has seved tihousand -men, and that his force is rapidly increas-' a ing ; and moreover that all are burning-to a encounter the Americans again. He wants , monoy to carry on his operations, but Con .gress nas not seetn fr to vote him- n-coptr' - -one reason. probably being that it has e not a copper to aivo. ~Santa Atina. so fal' A high up. Reynosa is about asfar as boa e can ascend with any success, and th J Flag says there isi design of establishit a de ot there. The Fliag fenvta from the Tamaulips Defensor that one hundred arnd filfy of ota infantry with one field piece, were fyini ; off the town of Soto la Marina on the 241 t ult.. and that one hundred''vdlry, with i 12.pounder, reerhed the town of Magis t catzin on the 7ih ulit., hut had receives orders to counternrarch to Tampico. The Registro oficial, published is? Do - rango, repels the charge that the intabi, tants of that State ate friendly disposec towards the Yankees, but speaks in nr respectful terms of the Sovereign Con gress. which, it says, withholds their arms and leaves them exposed to the ravages of the Indians. 'The Savereign Co9. gress' further adde the same paper, 'taxes without number the Duranguenos to pam per the corruption and vices of the Cy barites who calumniate them.' The editor of the Defencor de Tamau lipas thinks the analogy botween the two States so'very strikir.g that he publishes the- article above alluded to. A Mexican woman who was washing at the lake ir Matamoros was lately acci dentally killed by a Mfasseehusetts volan teer, who was at the time shooting fowl. The woman was fully four hundred-yards distant from him when he discharged his musket. The ball skipped upon the water and hit the wamatr. - The report has reached Matamoros that the troops encamped at Palo Alto are to be sent to Vera Cruz. The Flag cannot credit it. New Brigrade fruim Marytand-The Washington Union copies the remarks of the Baltimore Sun, a few days since, relative to the tender of a new brigade of volunteers from Maryland, made by Gen, Smith, and its rumored acceptance, ac companying it with the following state ment: We are satisfied that the administration are deeply impressed with the noble and patriotic offer which has been made of a whole brigade from->Maryland. It is worthy of Gen. John Spear Smith him self-worthy of the sou'of the brave and illustrious father, Gen. Samuel Smith, whose revolutionary. achievements are inscribed on our revolutionary aanls worthy of the.hrave . metr,. who'.. have. co operated ith Ge - J. S Smith-and wor. or -e,Stated " i1t :he tirrangemients 1hi' r' Ofli e Whilst so. many poitions' f e' been submitted to the Depar:ment of volunteers from all parts of the country-whilst some of the States are actually complaining of the supposed partiality whicl has been shown to other States in this regard whilst it is important to consult the ap propriations of C'ongress, and a sufficient force may have been called out, under existing circumstancee, to carry on the the war with all the vigor of which it is susceptible, it may not be expedient to accept, at this time, an offer of tr whole brigade from Maryland, highly as it is appreciated by the President and Secreta ry of War. We understand Gen. Scott will, in all probability, have under his command, in the month of June at least twenty tmtrsand men or more-consisting too, of regulars or during-the-war men. But what patriotic American cn help rejoicing at the noble spectacle which our country now exhibits. It was asked re peatedly, during the last session of Cont gressr where' is the money F-Where are the men to come from? As to the firat, we have seee nearly sixty millions of'ered for loan-thtree times more thtan whati the government may regiuire for fifteen months to come. We also see tofunteers contin sirily pronring itr their offers. Thoug~ Mississippi has two splendid regiments already in the field, she complaine that the government will not recei-ve moru of her gallant suns into the service. The Wat offree is crowdedl with appfications, A&nd here is a whole brigade from Maryland,. to l e led by one of her most accomplished genras to- be composed of some of thes best citizens in :her borders. The anti war party has astrempted Ia vain to damp the spirit of our people. * *- * The patriotic sentimente of our courntry men rise superior to' avery other conside ration. Men press anxiousry upon the War ofile for employment.

Volunteer companies pour in front all quarters.-lere ,is a whore brigade from Marylond, who will. turn -away their reructant and disappointed steps from the door of the War office.
