THE WAR. Vera Cruz, May 2d. Ed. Delta : I send you the first numbar of the "AmericaD Star," published in Jalapa. In it you will find a detailed account of the battle of Ceno Gordo, aud n list of the killed aod wounded. You will sec that the volun teer played a conspicuous part in that action; they led the attack, bore the brunt of the bat tie. You will learn that Don Pedro Anaya has been declared Dictator. The Swedish Con sul, who arrived yesterday from Mexico, lei's me that it is true that Anaya, has been elected Dictator ; Cauelizo spoken of as Comma nd-er-in-Chief of the Army; and that preparations are being made for the erooal of the (jov crnmeut from place to place. Nothing is more common in Mexico than to hear them ritiui? incidents in tbe revoluiionni history of ourcountrv lo uustaiu the wavering energies our country, to sustain fe b of their own neoole The Swedib Cousul tells me that he visit ed Santa Anna, at Oiizaba, and obtained from bim a passport to come down. He bad but n ihoussnd men with him, badly equipped, und be looked haggard and very much deject ed. Hi-- day had passed, officers have lost nil confidence in him and I have no doubt, that were he to come to Vera Cruz, during the present state of feeling of the Mexican population, ho would be mur dered. lu Vera Cruz everything is going on smoothly. The business of the city is in creasing in n wonderful degree. The waters are covered with merchant vessel. Yankee hotel., Yankee auction houses, Yankee circus companies, end Yankee ice houses, are Part ing up here at every turn of the corner. Gen. Shields has been pronounced out of danger. 'Yours, &. D. J. D. Veha Cruz, May 5 b, 1847. Edts. Delta ; As the steamer has been detained until to-day by bad weather, I give you the latest news that has reached us since I closed my letter of the 3d; theie is not much of it, but what there, is of some interest aod impottauce. The British Consul at this place has just received a communication from the British minister, Mr Bankhead, saying that the Mexican Government has solicited the friendly meditation of his goveinment, to set tlo the difficulties between Mexico and the United State. I learned this morning that such a letter had been received from Mr Bauk- head, and at once called the English Consul, who tells me that such is a tact, ioii may therefore rely on the accuracy of this. Santa Anna is about 40 miles from here with 2000 m-n threatening to march in aud ack Vera Cruz. This information comes from a Spanish merchant of this "place, who came iu yesterday from Mexico ho states that he saw Santa Anna, who advied him to take hit things out of the city, as he chould destroy every thing. This of course, we consider as mere Mexican bravado, as it is not likely be would make his plans public, did he inteud executing them. We are never theless, practising our men (iulautry) at the U'tillery, so as not to be token by aurp'iae. We learn by letters from the ciry of Mexico, that they hive stopped throwing up entfench- a neige or bombardment. For tho fir.t time since I have been in Mexico, It legltl to think that the war is about drawing to a rlo.-e. Yours, very respectfully. D. J. D. SURRENDER OF THE CAPITAL. " Immediately before the James L. Day started from Vera Cruz, M;j. Leonard, who i stationed there, sent an officer on board to inform Gen. Pillow that an express had jut arrived from Gen. Scott, with a deplch, in which it w'as stated that a deputation of Mexi can cilizeus from the Capital had arrived at the General's headquarters, inviting him to advance, assuring him that it would surrender t him without opposition, aud asking his protection of their persons aud properly. To such favorable torms Gen. Scott assented. He is therefo e, on his way to, i( not alieady in the "hells of the Moutizutuas." From the N. O. Delta, May 7. FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. We have received files of papers from the city of Mexico to the 14th April, from which v.e translate the following paragraphs. The Mexican papsrs continue to claim as their own the victory of Buena Vista, or An gostura, and are filled with mocking remarks of the Americans fr stating thai they won the victory. El Republicano S3ys that Santa Anna, before leaving for Cerro Gordo, made an oath in the presence of several generals, not to treat with the Americans for peace ! and that he bid disanoroved tbe surrender of Vera Cruz, "for which he had" ordered Gens. Morales and Lapdero to the castle of Pe rote, where they should await their trial for their conduct. The Government had decreed that every place in the vicinity of the Capital should he fortified Generals Almonte, Bravo, Bin con and Agea were appointed to superintend the fortifications about Topozotlan, Venta de Cordova, Tepeaca, San Juan de Teotihua ran, Stc. it -,s 8aij lfiat some f those Gen erals refused to accept of the commi-sion, stating that they required intelligent en- g.neers lor ihe purpose. Almonte left oi. the 14th to commence his duties bv re conno.termg the road fr0m Venta de Cordo- The follow mg person, have been appoint ed to superintend the Tortl6ca,lona the Cnptul; Generals Don BeaSto Quijll Don Mariano Monterde and Don Caaimiro Liecoga A paper from Queretaro, states that the Santa Clara nuns had given 15,000 pouuds oi buiscuit for the army. Ill Monitor of the 14th, -states thrata great fire took place at Monterey, which commenc ed at Gen. Arista's garden and burnt nearly all the bouses up to the b rid ere. It also st3tea, that every town from Mario to Mier oa been destroyed by fire by the Americans, x....o..u iium xxcyuusd Matamoros, and that the commander at tbe I latltr plac. stated that "he would set the cily I ... 1 on fire as soon as ITrrpa rjahed there I StT An iSJli t i hese barbarities, says trie curicp".... of Monitor, have been committed to avenge the acts of Urrea, who has taken from Gen. Tsylor's troops about $2,000, 000!! worth in wagons, mules, provisions, &c. which be has shared among his men. And Gen. Taylor in order to recover the loss, has exacted of the three adjacent States $3,000,000, and that if the Mexicans would not pay the amount lie would send the vol unteers to sack their towns and rob them Gen. Taylor has issued proclamations de declaring Urrea and Canales a3 land pirates. The Americans have shot 24 Mexican at Cadereita, because some of the goods taken by Urrea were found in their possession. The latest accounts from Chihuahua, re ceived at the city of Mexico, states that the American Governor had taxed the inhabit ants ofNew Mexico with a forced loan of "uls "-w .v..- ....u $200,C00, for the purpose of buying all the flour that could be found in that place, and then compelled them to buy the same at the rate of $50 per load. This oppressive measure caused the people to rise with the Curate nt their head, and they killed the Governor and every American they could meet. This insurrection continued and was carried on to Los Angles (California.) The whole story is doubtless untrue. A letter from Ozuluama stated that there were at Tampico only 800 American troops and about 4C0 American merchants, who were in constant terror and feared an at tack from the Mexicans. Jalapa, May 4, 1847. As -the time for which many of the volun teers enlisted has nearly transpired, and as Gen. Scott has ascertained positively that but few of them will re-enlist, he has deter mined upon dishanding them here, and will send them all home. This will of course not only delay, but alter his whole plan of operation, and the impression with many is that he will go no further than Puebla with his present force. The volunteers going home are the Geor gia, Alabama and 1st and 2d Tennessee Re giments. No one can blame them for this movement. Not only is their time out, but they are out of clothing and out of many of the comforts which make even a camp life bearable. He may still go on to the capital, even with what he has, for there not Mexicans enough in arms to arrest him; yet whether such a course would be prudent, or whether such are his intentions or not, is more than any one can say who is not thoroughly into his secrets. Yours, &c. G. IV. K. From the Charleston Courier's express. LATER FROM MEXICO. From the Mobile & Tii'aurie, Extra, cf Monday. The steamship James L. Day arrived ui the Levee early this morning from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 5th inst. The impression wa gaining g'ound in th army that there would be no more fighting. It was uot expected that there would be any opposition this side of or at Puebla; and it was even doubted if the Mexicans would de fend their capital. Expectations of this na ture have proved deceitful so often that we l The whereabouts of Santa Auua i some what problematical.

It is ceitaio! that be has not showu himself nt the capitol since his defeat. There is a repoit that he desires to leave ihe country; but Mr Kendall thinks he may make a dash upon ditiched parties in the rear of tho army, or upon wa "ii traius, with a view to reinstating himself iu the good opinion of the nation. It was ihe intention of Gen. Scott, upon Iheanival of the wagon train that was to Uii fiorn Vera Cruz about the 9th inst , to cut .ff all conn pc t ion with the sea coast, rely upon the country for sustenance, and push forward for the city. This general order, dated at Jalapa, 30th April, intimates as much. Bui Mr Kendall's letter of the 4th The very latest news throws some doubt upon the speedy adoption of this plan, in consequence of the determination of the twelve months' volun teers, iu body, not to re-enlist. This may retard tho advance of tbe armv, unless indeed the reported readiness of tbe city to surrender he confirmed. If the rumor prove true, the lMierilla troops are mere marauders a baud of pirates; and should be treated accordingly Gen.

A few evenings ago, a member of the Texas company attached to the 2d Illinois regiment, was returning to camp from Saltillo, .slightly intoxicated. A he got to the guard line, seeing the plight he was in, the man on po.-t a member of Col. Curtis' (3d) Ohio legimeut commenced tatttaliziughim, at which some of the bystan ders suw"ested to the Texati that he should fight the man a duel. As the guns of the guard are nut loaded, the matter was soou arranged. A musket wait handed the Texan, and the parties stepped off at some ten paces distant, aud at the word both turned and snapped. They made a second attempt, but now, what was the horror of the bystanders, who thought they wero enjoying a rich joke, to see the Texan's gun go off, and the Oni an fall dead, pierced with n ball through the breast. There cau be no excuse for the carelessness exemplified in bringing a loaded "tin on "iiard. From tho Fln of the 2ih instant. Orders of Santa Jinna. Lieut. IJee, of Capt. Mirabeau B.

From the N O Picayune ARRIVAL FROM CHIHUAHUA. Major Campbell, of Springfield, Mo , with Mr. Gerry (a Laclede Ranger, dis charged in consequence of sickness, and thirty men and two boys, teamsters, arrived yesterday, morning from Chihuahua, by way of Red River. I hey were pressed closely by a party of forty or fifty Camanches, finely mounted; and as the company had nothing but mules, worn out by a march of seven or eight hundred miles, it was impossible either to escape by flight or pursue the enemy so the whole party dismounted and formed for battle at the edge of a chaparral. In thi position the Indians surrounded them; but manifest ing no disposition to attack, it was suppos ed they intended waiting for reinforcements, and it was deemed advisable to fight their way through. This Was accomplished with out any injury to the company, with the ex ception of a slight wound received by one of the men; four or five of the Indians were wounded. The Indians, now satisfied that any further attempt upon the party would be rather a serious affair, wheeled their hors es about and were not seen after. They were armed with bows and arrows and lan ces, and four or five of them had rifles. The company were all armed with rifles. After this the company lost their track several times, and for two weeks before they arrived at the settlements lived entirely upon mule meat. When the company left Chihuahua Col. Doniphau'd army was iu the enjoyment of excellent health The climate in that purl of Mexico is delightful and provisions are abundant. Col. Doniphan was, in the ab sence of instructions, at a loss to known what course to pursue. The term of ser vice of his regiment expires early in June, and unless other troops are sent to take its place the country conquered by hitri will fall into the hands of the enemy. We have received the first number of the Anglo Saxon, published in the city of Chi huahua immediately after its capture by the American force- It is dated cm the l3ih March, and is published both in English and, Spanish.

It is stated by the Anglo Saxon that Gov. Trias has estab- ished a temporary seat of government for the State of Chihuahua ut Parras, two hun dred miles south of Hie city. I lie Anglo Saxon is in size about eight by twelve inches : Lieut. Chas. Kribben is the editor and John S. Wehb publisher. The mate rials were found in the city.

A friend of ours received a letter yesterday from his brother, who resides in tbe parish of Sabine. It is dated on tbe 2d inst , aud besides some reference to matters of private business, contains the following startling ex tracts. Peihaps, to do away with all idea of its being unauthentic, we might as well say that tbe letter came to Mr Stille, Clerk of the House of Representatives, aud was written by his brother. But to the extract. ' There has been one of the most unex ampled acts of poisoning committed in Shelby county, Texas, ibat I have lever heard of. There was a wedding at old Mr Wilkin son's of an orphan girl be raised, at which all tbe invited guests were poisoned, iucluding the bride's maid and groom's man. Out of sixty persons poisoned, thirty ,Dr Sharp says, will certainly die. Ten or twelve are already dead. "Strange to tell, none of the family was injured, nor yet the bride and groom; yet oue of ifce bride's maids died in the house. It is supposed that ihe negroes were hired to administer the poison in the coffee, or foodj by a disappointed suitor, who was pre tieut a the wedding." i S). Picayune. The Standard says that Gen.
