learn that the ship O.idiaka, having on

Jillervvbo had lelt Tampico for their as

j From Vera Cruz. The Picayune has
also advices from Vera Cruz, via Havana,
to the 1st inst. By them we learn that
the rumor of the assassination of Sa,nta
Anna is unfounded. He was still at San
Luis engaged in his favorite diversion
cock fighting. Gen. Vega has been ap
pointed commandant general of Vera
Cruz. The number of troops in the city of
Vera Cruz is said to be 3500 the garri
son of the Castle 1100. Both city ahd
Castle are short of provisions.
; We find no mention made of the cap
ture of Chihuahua, but there has been an
fiction in the immediate vicinity of El Pa
so del INorte in which our troop$ were en
tirely successful. the loss on each side
was not known or is not stated. On the
27th the Americans; took possession of El
Paso with 000 cavalry and 400 infantry.!
The cavalry immediately started in pur-
suit of the runaways and although it was
not known at Chihuahua on the f of Jan
uary that they had overtaken them, it was
thought likely they would got possession
of two wagons which were in; the rear
with the park, as well as of thirty men
who escorted them. This seemed: probably
to us, too, though we much doiibt if the
.Americans ever got up to the runaways.
From Brazos Santiago we learn that
Gen. Worth was preparing to l$ave that
place with his troops. Seventytlays ra
tions had been issued, and the division was
expected to be on ship board and sail for
some point near Vera Cruz in a few
da vs. i

which proves that the enemy havie opened

On the 11th January I met Lieut Rich
ie of the 4th Infantry, but then acting with
the 2d Dragoons, on his way from Saltil
lo, with ten Dragoons, to Victoria, bear
ing important despatches to Gen. Taylor,
from Gen. Scott and others. It is said that
these. despatches contained the whole plan
of the operations in which we are about to
engage. While on the road between Mon
terey and Victoria, but at what place I
cannot learnf the party was attacked,
young Richie was lassoed and dragged a
crbss a cornfield, and the despatches car
ried off? The ten dragoons were either
killed or taken prisoners. Lieut.; Richie
was one of the most distinguished and ex
cellent young officers in the army. His
conduct at Palo Alto and Resaea won the
admiration of the army, and he-Avasmuch
esteemed for his talents and the excellence
of his heart. There is little or no doubt
of his death still, whilst there is a sha
dow of a doubt, there is hope.
A few days ago, an officer of the 2d
the Mexicans is so .inveterate, however,
against our volunteers, that fears are en
tertained for the safety of the prisoners.
THe troops are begining to move down

The destination of the troops is Lobos,
about 75 miles from Vera Cruz. As San

is no impropriety in my telling you. It is
an island, very near the main land, and
behind it is a safe harbor for vessels of
considerable size. The shore is rocky and
the pass very crooked, but not extremely
dangerous. In the course of the week

Our report since the departure of the

chief grain markets in England Liver

tendency in; price. Since the 20th the
imports have been very extensive, and al
though large sajes have been made, the
i stockjof Flour in Liverpool alone is esti-
mated at 500,000 barrels, with a corres
ponding stock of grain in London. On
' Monday, the 1st instant, wheat declined
from4s to 5s per quarter, at Liverpool,
-and on the following day (Tuesday) pri
ces were 4s per quarter lower; on Indian

Aid and Comfort." The "congregated
wisdom " of ihe Locofoco party in the Virginia
Legislature lately brought forth a most singular
resolution to aid and comfy rt Mr. Polk. All
recollect the pertinacity with which Congress
was required solemnly to enact, in May last, that
the war exists 44
Mexico." If the fact had bcn so. where was
the rnecessity of such an jenactment ? The
world could see it as plainlyas Congress. But
it was put in the act because those who man
aged that matter knew that the world come to
different conclusion ? Well, in every possible
mode in which the assertion could be made,
has it been repeated since, m In the President's
Annual Message, as if perfectly satisfied that
the world had come to a different conclusion,
the same idea is repeated Iperhaps a hundred
limes ; and in the message of the 13th inst., the
changes are again rung on it. All this exceed,
ing anxiety to ding it into the ears of ihe pub
lic, in season and out of season, is evidence
that the President himself; feels that it is not
true; and is in hopes to persuade the public, if
not himself, that it is. His
been more plausible, however, if he bad not la

message lo recount the wrongs which we have
