ScOtt Six Thousand Mexicans Taken Prisoners 500 .4 wericans Killed an d Wounded: Gen.la Vega Taken Prisone r. The following important intelligence was bro'l to Louisville by the Schuylkill. We ire inJebieJ ta a passenger for a Louisville Courier extra, from which we cop : From lb Picayune Extra, cf Friday evening. April 40 5 o'clock. n iha otpsmsbio Mc Kim. Cant, Pillsburry, which left Vera Cruz on the 20ih ult.,we have glorious news from the army un.ier Gen. Scott. Mr. Bugbee, who was sent from the scene of action by Mr. Kendall, with despatches for this office, left the MeKim 20 miles below the city, and came tip to the city, express, w iih the glorious tidings. On the afternoon of the I7ih, the advance under Gen. Twiggs encountered the enemy, when a severe but indecisive conflict ensued. As the general orders, which ve give below, show that it was Gen. Scoti's intention to give battle only on the ISth, it may be that this engagement was brought on by the Mexicans. The main battle occurred on the I8th, and resulted in the complete triumph of the American arms. Santa Anna made his escape after his army was routed. Gen. La Vega is again amons the prisoners. Besides him there were five generals taken,and a long list of colonels and subordinate officers. e give below a list of such of the officers as are coming to this place. They were to leave Vera Cniz about the 25th. We give further particulars in our regular edition. Pi ax del Ilio, April 1711 A. M. The division of Gen. Twiggs started two hours since, and a heavy cannonade has already commenced upon his line from the farthest of the Mexican works. At intervals, too, the rattling of small arms can be heard distinctly from the dragoons camp where I am wri.ing this. I am going out, with Cols. Duncan and Bohlan and Capt. Pemberton, to the seat of action, and will return here to night to report the progress of the fight. It was not intended, I believe, that Gen. Twiggs should open the fight to-day, at least to brine on a ceneral action, and it is there fore presumable the Mexicans have com menced upon him. I write in great haste G. W. K. 5 P. M. I have just relumed from the scene of conflict, and a bloody one it has been considering the number engaged. A hill this side of the farthest Mexican work, and on which there was no one seen last evening, was found occupied by the enemy's light troops this morning,and to force it was at once deemed indispen sable. For this purpose the Rifles under Major Summer, besides detachments of artillery and infantry, were ordered to charge up the rugged ascent. This they did in gallant style, driving the Mexicans after a resistance which maybe put down as most obstinate. Great numbers of the enemy were killed, w hile on our side the loss was also severe. Major Summer was shot in the head by a musket ball ptincn Liuv uui iii-uimi.j. uit.uc. kiuui i end Gibbs, of the Rifles, were also woun Ait Hut tint DOBorolv fta vrna nlciri f.ipiit 'Jams' of the 2d 'Infantry. I could not learn that any of our officers were killed The entire loss On our side in killed and wounded, is estimated at about one hun dred; but from the nature of the Ground broken, covered with brush and thick chaparal and extremely uneven---il is impossible to tell with accuracy. Nor can I. this time, give even the names of the officers who were immediately engaged. About 3 o'clock the enemy made a demonstration from the fort on the neghboring height to the one our men had captured, as if with the intention of retaking it; but it all ended in marcning down the hill, blowing a most terrific charge on their trumpets, firing a few shots, & returning. Their appearance as they came down the slope was certainly most imposing. The cannon on the height meanwhile kept up a continuous fire upon Gcn.Twigg's lines, yet doing little execution other than cutting down the trees and brush. As we relumed to camp the fire still continued. The enemy had evidently ascertaiaed the position of the road, which had just been cut with accuracy, but their balls pr incipally went over. Gen. Shields, at 3 o'clock, was ordered to support Gen. Twiggs with three regiments of Volunteers, two from Illinois under Cols. Baker and Batneit.--They will have warm work to morrow if the Mexicans stand up as they did to day. There has been not a little skirmishing to-day between the forage and beef parties, sent out in the rear, and the rancheros. One Illinois man was killed, and one of the same regiment and a Tennesseean wounded. I could not learn their names. To-morrow the grand attack, both upon Ihe front and rear of the enemy is to be made. Gen. Worth is to move at sunrise andjlittle peace will the Mexicans have for one twenty-four hours at least. If possible, I shall report and send off the progress of the conflict, although one has litttle lime or convenience in the chapparal for writing. G. W. K. Camp near Plax del Rio. April 18, 4 o'clock, P. M. S The American arms have achieved another glorious and most brilliant victory. Outnumbering Gen.Scott's force materially, and occupying positions which look impregnable as Gibralter,one after another of their works have been taken to-day, five general?, colonels enough to-com-mand ten such armies as ours, and other ofi " ir-u eratle, taken prisoners, tiT.1' er w ;', six thousand men, and the res. cf t'itir army driven and routed with the Is ct everything, amunition, cannon, i-Msg.;; train cii. Nothing but the im-r-ibi'slty of fi iding a road for the dragon ito i! o rear of the enemy's works . ,vii - ti of Santa Anna's grand g his own illustrious perf 1 " . v prisoners is our old friend I

La Vcga.who fought with his accustomed gallantry. The other generals are Jose Maria Jareno, Luis Pinson, Manuel Uori aga, and Jose Obando. The names of the colonels t have not been able to gather. Nothing saved Santa Anna but the want of dragoons on the other side of their lines. As it is, his travelling coach, together with all his papers, valuables, and even his woodenleg, have fallen into our hands, together will all the money ef his army. No one anticipated, when they arose from their hard h ivouack this morning, such a complete victory. The loss on both sides has been heavy, how could it have been otherwise? The rough and rocky road cut through ragced

defiles and dense chapparel by mir troops, is now lined by our wounded. The Rifles. Col. Haskell's Tennessee Volunteers, the 1st Artillery, the 7th Infantry, and Capt Williams' company of Ky. volunteers, have perhaps suffeted the most- Gen. Shields was severely, audi am fearful, mortally wounded, w hile gallantly leading his brigade to slorm one of the enemy's farthest works. Gen. Pillow was also wounded' although slightly, while storming a fortification on this side commanded by La Vega. All the field officers of Col. Haskell's, regiment weri wounded at the same time, save himself. Of the Rifles, Capt. Mason has lost a leg, Lieut. McLane, slightly. I have already men tioned the gallant Major Summer Biid other officers wounded yesterday. I have specified some regiments above, which signalized themselves; it happen ed to their fortune in the disposition of the battle, to fall upon what eood soldiers may term pleasant places the most diffi cult workB to storm and bravely and without faltering did they execute the per ilous duties assigned them. All o clock this afternoon Gen. Twiggs, whose divis ion has been in the hardest of it, was pur suing the flying enemy towards Jalapa. Pierson, who commanded the forts near est Plan del Rio, asked of Gen. Worth lime to consider before he capitulated. Desirous to come to terms, Gen. Worth gave him fifteen minutes, end he surtendered unconditionally. Had he not done so the slanshter would have been terri ble. I write in great has-tr; and have no time for particulars. The names of the killed and wounded I will ascertain as soon as possible. I think that five hun dred will cover our entire loss. Had it not have been for the positive cowardice of Santa and Cnnalizo, who tanbefoie the battle at least in brave men'shands was half lost, it would have been far greater. No one, at present, can estimate the loss of the Mexicans ihey are scattered on the hills, in the roads, everywhere. What disposition Gen. Scott is to make of the prisoners is yet unknown. He may set them all at liberty on their paroles, from the difficulty of feeding them, and to accelerate his'oun advance move ments. We shall hear by to-morrow. I w ish we could send the officers at least to the United St3tes,for there is a Sua siring of them. It is now impossible to name ihe officers who have distinguished themselves. I cannot however omit to mention Cols. Baker, Forrr.an and Haskell of the volunteers, as every one is inking of them. I write this in great haste, and with noise, confusion and everything else around me. You ennnot appreciate the victory. To describe the ground end for lifications of the enemy, the difficulty of tinning their outer works and the toil and peril undrgone by ths troops were impossible. No time to say another word. I send this off by cn express. It is Gen. Scott's intention I know to push on towards the city of M exico w'iih all haste. To-morrow 1 write more fullv, and send Gin. Scoti's express. Yours, G. W. K. Camf at Plan del Rio, April 19, 1817 Forenoon. $ The rout of ihe Mexicans last evening was total complete. They were pursued within 4 miles of Jalapa by Gen.Twigr's at which point ibere were none lo follow. Santa Anna himself, instead of entombing himself as he threatened, escaped by cut ting the saddle mule of his team from the harness of his magnificent evach, mounting him.pnd taking to ihe chapparral. Hie service of massive silver, nearly an ins papers, whs money everining in his carriage, even lo his dinner, was cap lured. I have a capital story to tell about this dinner when I have a moment to spare. The Mejiican loss upon the heights w as awful the ground in places is covered with the dead! Among ihe bodies found wasniatot iienerai vasquez, ana near him was Col. Palacio, mortally w ounded: Their loss in Ihe retreat w as terribly se-vere-every by-path is strewn wiih the dead. Had our dragoons been enabled to reach Ihem in season, all would have been killed or captured--Sanla Anna among them. Canalizo, w ith his noted lancers, had the prudence to bamcs earEven up to this time it is impossible to give anything like a full and correct list of our wonnded officers. It surprising that mmy of them were not killed. Lieut. Derby, a gallant young officer of the topographical engineers, was badly but not mortally wounded while storming one of the heights. Lieut. Elwell, or ihe Rifles, is supposed to be mortally wouded. This regiment has suffered terribly, Lieut. Dana, of ihe 7th infantry.wr-s badly wounded; Capt. Patten, of lite 2d, slightly. Lieut. Davis, of the Rifles, was very badly w ounded in the hip. Major Summer, of ihe 2J Dragoons but commanding Rifles, is improving. The list of killed and wounded officers Col. Haskell's command jeslerday, I have been able to obtain(i should here be stated thai Capl. William's company of Kentucky and Capt. Chas. Nsylor's company of Pennsylvania volunteers, were attached temporarily to this regiment. Here is the list: Killed 1st Lieut. Fred. B. Nelson, commanding company? 2J Lieut. C. G. Gill, company E. Both these officers were from Memphis. Wounded. Lieut. Colonel D. II. Cumming, slightly; Major Robert Farquharson, (of the 1st Texas volunteers, assigned to this regiment for the day) severely; I si Leuienant Wiley P. Hail, adjutant, severely; 1st Lieutenant Win. Yearwood, mottallv;2d Lieutenant James Forrest,

slightly; Captain A. II. Murray, severely ; j

2nd Lieutenant George T. Sutherland, Kentucky volunteers, severely. The rogi merit, when in action numbered less than 401) men, and its loss was 79 in killed and w minded. I. a Vega w as in command at Cerro Gordo on the first day of the fight, but a deserter from our dragoons, a German, going into their camp at nijjht, and informing them that the main attack w as to be made on the risht of the line the w ork so fiercely attacked by Gpn. Pillow had changed place with fj, nernl Vasrjuc-z. The latler, as I have already stated, w as killed. La Vega defended his post until the lines of ihe enemy were completely 'uriied. Several Mexican colonels have I em killed, but iheir names I have been i;t:rille to leant. A broil er of Ccn. La Vepa. a colonel of artillery, was severely, cud, as is sup posed, mortally womdod. Hundreds of cases of individual eallnntry, in storming ll e different heights, are mentioned, Col. Childs led on his command the first dav until he had only some 40 or 50 men with him. It is said that Capt. Magruder follow ed up a charge until he had but nine soldiers left. I cannot now recollect one-tenth part of the instances of almost reckless daring displayed, but shall endeavor lo pirk tbrni up. I shall also send you a full return of the killed and wounded, if I can obtain it. At present it is almost impossible to get any thing. The wounded are still along the road for miles, although they are bringinc them in as lust 8s possible. The army is lo advance tow ards Mexico immediately. Gen. Worth's division marched this morning Gen. Scott is to match at noon. Santa Anna's conch is lo be harnessed up for the rurpose of carrying on Maj. Si.mnpr better use than it was ever pul to before. The officers and men of the Mexican army I mean such as are prisoners are to be turned loose on iheir parole not a;iain to lake up arms during the war. Peihaps it is ll e best deposition that could be inadrof them, as en j other coutse would delay Gen. Scoti's forwatd movement.. Filter n of their r fficers liae refused to sign, but have given llteir parole of honor to report themselves, without delay, to Col. Wilson, at Vera Cruz, as pris oners of w ar. Among these are Gens. La Vega and Jareto, the lain r Governor of Perole during ihe time ihe Texas prisoners were there, and I believe distinguished for his good treatment of them. These officers will either be kept in ihe Castle of San Juan de Ullua, or else pioceed to the United States. Gen. Shields is slill alive, but it is con sidered impossible for him to survive. The ball w ent through his lungs as he was leading his men to storm ihe farthest woik of ihe enemy. I w rite this amid confusion of all kinds, and with no other table than knees. A hundred Mexican officers are around me, making out their paroles, w hile our ow n dead are being carried by and consigned to their long resting place by ihe road side. I shall starl oh for Jalapa this afternoon, and will write by every opportunity. I sera you some Mexican papers, as also Santa Anna's last proclamation. It is rich. G. W. K. PRISONERS.

Scott w hether they should remain close prisoners in the Castle of San Juan de Uiloa or proceed to New Orleans, w here ihey should be allowed such personal liberty as iheir condition might seem to require of the commandant at that post. It is understood lhal all of the oiucers have expressed a desire to go lo the United Sines, and that Col.

Ft em the "e-ir Orlcant Picayune, May I. Late frcm the City of Hexico. By Ihe arrivals yesterday from Tampico and Vera Cruz w e are in posession of files of papers from the city of Mexico lu lhe9ih of Aptil. We hve only been able to beslow upon them a cuisory examination, but w ill recur to them hereafter. The following is a translation of the most interesting document which has met our eye the translation and original have been sent to us by Mr. Kendall. Our readeis are requested to contrast the magnificent promises of this address of Sanla Anna lo his countiymen with "ihe lame and impotent conclusion" presented by his personal prowess al Cerro Gordo: Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. President ad interim of the Mexican I!epnblic, to his compatriots: Mexicans: Vera Cruz is already in the power of the enemy. It has Miccumbed not under the influence of American valor, nor can it even be said lhal it has fallen under the impulses of their good fortune. To our sham be il said, wp ourselves have produced this deplorable

mitforltir.e by our own interminable dis- j cord. The truth is due to yiu fun- the Government j on are the aibiters of the fale of our country . If our country is to e defended, it wiU.bj..vou who w ill stop the triumphant marclrof the enemy who now occupies Vera Cruz. If the enemy advsncesone step more, the national independence w ill be buried in Ihe abyss of Ihe past. I am resolved to go out and encounter the enemy. What is life worth, ennobled

by ihe national gratitude, if the country suffers under a censure the stain of which will redound upon the foichead of every Mexican? My duty is to sacrifice myself, and I will know how to fulfil it! Peihaps the Ameticcn hosts may proudly trend the imperial Capit.il of Azteca. I will never i wiiness such an opprobit m, for I cm ce cided first to die fighting! The momentous crisis has at length arrived to the Mexicican Republic. It is as glorious to die fighting as it is infamous lo declare onrsi Ives conquered witiioul a struggle, and by an enemy w hose rapacity is as far removed from valor as from generosity. Mexicans! you have a rtligion protect it! You have honor then free yourselves fiom infamy! You love your wives, your children then liberate them from American brulalil ! But it must be by action not by vain entreaty nor barren desires w ill) w Inch the cnmy must be opposed. The rr.tional cause is infinitely just, although God appears to have deserted us; but His ire will 1 e appeased when we present, as an expiation of our errors, ihe sentiments of Irue pa triotism and of a sincere union. . Thus the Almighty w ill bless our efforts, and we j w ill he iut incihle! for against ihe decis-j ion of eight millions of Mexicans, of n hat j avail are Ihe efforts of eight or ten millions of Americans w hen opposed by the fiat of Divine justice? Perhaps I speak lo you fur ihe last time! I pray you listen to mi! Do no: vnscillate between death and bravery, and if the enemy conquer you, at le?st they w ill respect the heroism of your resist ance, it is now time that the common defence should alone occupy your thoughts! The bout cf sacrifice has sounded its ap proach! Awaken A tomb opens at jour feet Conquer a laurel to repose on it! The nation has not vet lost its vitality I sw ear to yon I w ill answ er for the triumph of Mexico, if unanimous and sincere desires on your part second my desires. Happy w ill have been, a thousand times happy the unfortunate events at Vera Cruz, if ihe destruction cf thai city may have served to infuse into ihe Mexi can breast the dignity and Ihe generous ardor of a true patriotism! Thus will the country have been indubitably saved; but if the country siiccumb,she will bequeath her opprobrium and her censure to those egolisi9 who were not ready to defend her to those who traitorously deserted their national bannet! Mexicans! your fate is the fate of the nation! Not the Americans, but yon, w ill decide her destiny? Vera Cruz calls for vengeance --follow me and washoul the stain of her dishonor! ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA' ANNA. Mexico, March 31, 1817. We learn that Gen. Morales, who so gallantly defended Vera Cruz, and Gen. Landero, who signed the capitulation, were both immediately put under arrest by Saiiia'Aiina and orded to Guantinjualo. In ihe city of Mexico civil order appears to reign, but' ihe tone of the papers breathes nothing but vengeance tow aidsj the United States. The exploits ofGens.Urrca and Romero j cutting otf our mule trains between Cer- j ral vo and Monterey afford occasion for congratulation lo the Mexicans, which is' eacerly embraced. Il i about the only j consolation Ihey have lefi them. They I counted with all confidence, both in the j city of Mexico and in Vera Cruz, upon t w hipping us al Cerro-Gordo. Their con-! fidence has begun to waver ere this. j The Government organ denies that! Gen. Patades is seeking in Paris the in- j lerposition of the French Government. The clergy of the archbishopric of Mexico have bound themselves to ihe Goveminent for a million and a half of dollars, i payable monthly. The subject is again! agitated of removing ihe scot of Govern ' merit from ihe city of Mexico. Lcpixlalire Movements in Favor of G . eral Taylor. Col. Nicholas has intr duced inio the Louisana Senate the follow ing preamble and resolutions, favorable to the election of Gen. Taylor lo the Presidency. This (says the Bulletin; is ihe more significant, and carries the greater weight, in consequence of coming from a gentleman occupying so high and distinguished a position in the Democratic party: W u eh e a 3, The ever glorious victory if Buena Visla has filled the whole country w ith joy and exultation, and the Senate and House ol Repicsentatives of the State of Louisana in General Assembly convened feel called on to cive expression lo a feeling so universally pervading this Stale therefore, Resolved, That Ihe Legislature of the Slate of Louisana, in General Assembly convened, tender thanks to Gen. Taylor and his gallant army for iheir services in the ever-memorable action of Bucna Vista, iu which they have shown, what probably Ihey alone could have shown, ihe possibility of their former achievements being surpassed. Iiesohcd, That the Legidature cannot refrain from expressing the hope and belief, that seems so rapidly laying hold of public opinion, that the services of the distinguished chief of this gallant little army may lead to his being called, by the acclamation of the w hole people, to the highest office in iheir gift. Volunteers. Six companies have already reported lo the Adjutant General as being nearly full; and probably by ihe time this Is read, others may be rccieved. They are fiilling up in an incredibly short space of lime; and notwithstanding labor is in grat demand, and ihe season exceedingly lusy, we have no doubt but that half a dozen regiments could be promptly raised. Thrue boys who wkh to be accepteo must hurry, or in a n v will i lc disappointed. JVw'r Sevtimt. M.t S

The internal distress of the country, occasioned by ihe fm.ine in Ireland and Scotland, hus teen ihe principal cause of this. From Portugal. The Revolution in Portugal is approaching a crisis, and fears have been entertained for the person of the Queen. Her life has been threatened, and in order lo break dow n those connected with the Government, and upholding the Queen's party, there are those who are ready to take it. Even at Lisbon her Majesty has enemies, nhich "laKCS 11 eT presence insaie in me u apnoi, i l - r - - :. . T and a revolution iviil l e attempted in ine very fice of the Palace.

The state of affairs in Ireland aie fasl improving. The fool of ihe hill has been reached and Ihe Irish are on the ascending scale acain, though there is much f uiTcring. Provisions were much cheaper than they had been, and contributions were coming in from the United States. No more persons il is believed will die of starvation. Hank of England. The Bank of England has been drained of so much specie that it has caused great alarm among ihe Commercial houses of London and other cities, and this alarm had extended lo Uic LTink.

Wheel Crep in the Wed. The St. Louis Kcp'.:h!ican of April 27ih tays if we can credit the accounts of the Newspapprs and whit we hear from individuals, the coming crop of wheat promises to be a very Indifferent one. A great deal of the w heat in the t-pper part of the State rf Illinois and Iowa, has been winter killed. It may be the case, that an unusual quantity has been sown, and ihis may male up for any deficiency when compared with last year's crop, hut the prospect cf the farmer is not, at the present time, a very fiatterins one. The season is also very backward, and much remains in be done lo secure a full crop of other productions. The Invincibility of G enure' T.: .' r. Lieut.

This is precisely the feeling of those who have nominate. Old Rough and Ready for the Presidency. They are as certain of his going in, ts ihey are of Polk's going out. Wett cm Enthusiasm. A gentleman who has just arrived in the city from Niagara Fails says there was one universal shout for General Taylor cn the whole journey; be never in his life witnessed so much and such general enthusiasm in favor of any man before. The same feeling he informs us, pervades the whole west Michigan, he thinks, would poor Taylor by acclamation, and that Cass wouid be entirely forgotten. The gentleman who gave us this information, individually, prefers another man for the Presidency. The Challenge Accept td. We accept the challenge and quote the follow ing from Mr. Clay's letter: "The United ;t:es acquired a tille to TEXAS, extendini. as I believe, to the to the Rio del o:-.xt, Rio Grande, by ihe treaty of Louisiana.
