Alto about one ochck, P. M., aud saw that the enemy was entering the place. With nil the forces I had I proceeded to form my line of battle on a largo plain ; n woody elevation supporting my right flank, with a quagmire on the U t' t difficult of penetration. Scarcely had wo fired our first gun, when the second commando: -in-chief, (Jen. Don Pedro Arnpudii, arrived; as I had warned him to join me as soon as he had well leiuforced the sevcial points which were necessary to besiege the enemy's troops thht were left rn the foitificaliuus opposite Malam6tos. The forces uuder my command were 3000 mcu and 12 pieces oi artillery ; those of Ihe invaders weie 3000 mcu or a trine less, aud a supeiior force of ait illery, as they numbered 20 pieces of 16 and IS pounders. the buttle commeDtcd with such ardor thai riioxfl, during which Ihe en-my endonmiMl n follow their course towards Matamotos," in order lo suspend the siege of ihcir troops at the fortification, and wiih such object they set fire to shrubbery aud grass so as to form op posite their line a thick smoke by which they succeeding in hiding themselves from our view ; but I, through necessary operations, defeated theiY object on two difFeient occa sions. Gen. Ta)lor maintained his attack more as a defensive than an offensive one, using chiefly the best pari of his forces the artil lery, piotecled by one half of his infantry and all his cavalry; reserving ihe test to fortify the turf, at a distance of about two thousand yards fioti. the biittie field. I was anxious to make a ihnrge on the enemy, because the cannon balls caused great loss ou out files, and 1 ordered Gen. Dim Anastasio Torrejou lo execute it with ihe greater pail of the cavalry, on our left flak, in oider lo give the chatgc at the tfame time with the infantry aud the rest of the cav alry, on ihe right flauk. J was waiting the moment in which Gen. I'crrejon should commence the charge, aud that the enemy should begin lo feel its effect, in order to give the impulse ou the light ; but thf effort was checked by a counter movement of a pot lion of Ihe enemy's force that defend ed a marsh, which pteveulcd the attack. Some of our companies were impatferif on account of the loss we had suffered, and tht-y commenced to get out of order, asking lhat I -h.nld give the command to advance ut ouce, orielfeat. At such a moment, !' o'deied a column of cavalty, under command' of Col. Hon Cay claim Montero, to charge wiih the view that ihe parlies thrown out ol ordei should Msume their position, aud in all possible ..:i our murch nn the enemv. wh-. fit w lug to tfie great distance at whith Iht v storul, bod tttne to fallback on the reserve ; and night reproaching fast, ihe bliie ended, and we rtiinaiin-d masters of the field. After this result, eve-y measure necesaay lothe circumstances was taken, aud cur di vision encamped on a mote concentrated around in the same baHle-!;eld. The combat was a long and bloody one, j ttkich may be better explained by the cali u- lafiou of the Commander-in-Chief of Artill eiy, Gen. Don Tomns Rcquena, who nssuies tie lhal the enemy fired over 3000 caution akoul from 2 to 7 o'clock P. M., (at which hour the battle terminated.) autfour artillery enly fired about 650 shot. Our arms wcie uppoltd wiih honor to the iation, as we did not yield an inch of ground. Notwithstanding the. supeiirity of tho ene my's Artillery, they suffered" great loss.

W iih the origin or meaning of this queer ex pression we are wholly unacquainted, but ihe idea which it suggests to our mind, we will illustriuit, by the following jdo'y. Ouce iu ihe olden limes, there lived in the goodly city of Cincinnati, a certain geulJe man, who was notd fr hU wealth and eccen tiicities. He had a beautiful daughter, ibe winning of whose henrl was the chief ambi tion of all the young men in the country. Among the many who had never beeu itilto duced, and therefore only admired iu the ab stract, were a couple of Kentucky bloods ftoru Lexington. They were bosni companions,; but, as fute would have i', both were Urivh'rg . for the same Cud, vis: an introduction to the fair unknown. They finally concluded, how ever, that they should become acquainted at ihsafnu time, leaving the rnorcdistuul future lo Ibe decrees of fortune. In process of tTii3 they made their appear ance in our city,, but as they had brought no letters with tb?mfr aud were unacquaiuted with the aristocracy, the commencement of their campaign was gloomy. For a few days their principal amusement was to walk by tho mansion where resided the Buckeye charmer, and this ihey did in the morning, at uoou, aud iu the quiet evening of every cfuy Ou an occasion it sj happened that they chanced to walk w ithin bailing distance of ihe oldgaidener of the mansion, who was busily engaged in trimming some grope vines, when the idea suddenly enteted their noddles lhat they might employ his services to advantage. Whereupon Ihey jumped over the fence, and the eldei of the two commenced the following dialogue : " Halloa, old covj?, bert's a silver dollar, and now we want you lo give us a helping hand.' Well, gentlemen, I should be most happy' to assist you what is It you wuut 44 W e understand lhat y our master has & very pretty daughter, end we want to become acquainted with her. We are straugers lo the city,' nod would know how we may be ic troduced ?" That's rather puzzling question, young' gemlemen. But hold ! I'll give you my ad vice. There is n gentleman living ut the Rroadwny Hotel who is very intimate with the. . ...J-..--..-V - -... ' - - - -- .. . happv to gratify your wishes.'' Thank you, thank you old Covey. as stop ot lhat Hotel, and the game is opening beautifully. GooJ afternoon, John." A couple of dtys parsed away, during whit h time. thero had been certain maneu vers carried ou which we will leave tho reader's, imagination. 'Ihe young bloods succeeded in securing the co-operation of the family friend, whose noble conduct they were constantly extolling to the skies. The hour for the long desired introduction Snalfy a'rriv-, ed. Wiihbojws n,d smiles, and tender speeches the Kentucky gemlemen were ush ered into the splendidly furnished parlour of tho unknown nabob. In a few momeuts the wealthy beauty made her appearance; Ihe genllemen were introduced by their friend; the lady, . who was in great glee, received them iu the most polite maimer possible, and ihe lovers were perfectly mad wiih delight. The evening, lhat was exceedingly interest ing to all concerned, was jute'irupted by the following concludiug scene : Tho lady, who had left ihe room for a mo-' ment, prosently made her appearance hang ing upon the arm of an old gentleman, and as she upproached the young Keutuckiaus, she tossed over silver dollar to ihem, and begged permission to introduce lo iheir acquaintance her Father the old Covey, the gardener. ouch is sometimes the end of even Ken tucky chivalry, and one of ihe many modee in which people occasionally shoot iheir grandmother.
