And swift the jov wimjid moments fly; Vht-re mod est daUus star the ground, And lorcly bluebells nod aruund. How ofl I muse with cti!i",ii tc.in On my brief chiUhooJ's pleaam yrar. For anresrnunrd I tb-n lr.iirht stray, Thn-oth lane or field or livelong d:;, Ti!l evening-, and a muthi rs love, Recalled me home new jos to prove.

The path for woe we all have stand; But I the eldest, earliest found This earth was not enchanted ground. What ang-uish'd hours I've p.-sod since tla a May not be toM by tor.g-ue er pen: Within a factory g.oor.iy wall, Which mitt.

For wealth or power I never sighBlest leisure is my. deity, Leisure to read, to walk, ti w rite, To taste the country's d-ar delight Breathe wholesome air, and gaze my fill On glen and fortstttxam aud iii.l. How little would my wantsuppl v murmur not, though icaniily 1 fed, and h nibble? was mv lor, If twas in some quiet, lonely spot. Where Rowers of (.very hue mig-Wt spring.

And timorous rabbits dart away; tt'fctre factory bell I miht not luar, Te mat the pesee aid quit there. No more, no mere thednam is past; My luiia tarlx life wa cast, Though i!ui:iij t ars may force tTitir way, I must ray takn;ater obey, Till some rank ehnrehyard, full of dead Form the last pillow for my head. ;31 31 UMCATJOXS, the 7:iff.'ro American.

Santa Anna's Despatches from Cerro (iordo. The following is a translation of ihe despatch addressed by Santa Anna to the .Minister of War arid Marine, from Cerro Gordo, on the 17th of April, giving a rather rich account of the engagement of the first day: Your Excellency: I have lo inform you, in order that you may acquaint'the President substitute therewith, thai we hive thrown up fortifications hastily in these gorges, in order to arrest the march of the invader, whose intention it was to make his way to Jalapa, and thence continue his course towards the capita) of the republic. In spite of the failure of provisions and innumerable difficulties, I h ive achieved this important result. To-day at noon, the enemy commenced an attack on one of my positions on'Telefiraph hill, and for four hours I sustained a struggle against the greatest part of his forces, commanded by General Seott, and repulsed them with great los; for he has left on the field of battle a large number vi itncu tiiiu nuuiuru. my own Side, I have lost one " officer and twentv-five of kiled and wounded.

FR"L TUE ARMY. A later Letter from Mr. Kendall Proclamation of General Scott to tht Muz- . icJ?i People. Jlapa, Mexico, May II, 6 o'clk, P. M. Since the dilligencia went out al noon lo-day for Vera Cruz, another diligencia has come in from the c"u nf Morion full of passeugers, and bringing news of not a little importance. Among the passengers was Mr. Kennedy, who, after being oadly treated here about the 1st of April, was driven to the city of Mexico. All the passengers confirm what ( wrote you this morning. They say that oimc ispuai mere was no government, no ord uu oruer, no responsibility all was an-art"-v- Ar.aya was still President era ' " ' " "M n:,lher '"Auence nor authori I i v ' ', "PW f res.det.t is to be elected .on tne idih of the present month-ih I. i. . .

" Th U lhe nthpr Ann less than seven times in one io mrf ih. inference is that the last robbers must have had rather poor picking if the first were very searching in their operations. Vhe diligencia in which Mr k'nn. jcame down was robbed twice on tie ! road. It is stated that the proposition made by England someoionths since, lo effer her intervention in settling ihe difficulties between Mexico and the United States, have recently been taken up by the Me? ican Congress, and after a warm discussion, in which one of the members said that the whole affair was but another attempt of the monarchists upon the sacred liberties of the Mexican Republic, the motion even to consider them was lost by a Tote of 41 to 33. From this it would seem that the present Conpresis determined to shut every door against all proposals of an honorable peace. Santa Anna has sent a letter t. Congress Irom Oiizaba. He gives his own account of the battle of Cerro Gordo, and claims a creat victory on the first day of the fight. On the second day Providence, according to his story,gave the advantage lo the Yankees. He says nothing about the exertions of ihe latter. Santa Anna states that he now has seven thousand men, and that his force is rapidly increasing; and moreover thai all are burn.1. - - - w . U . .. I ,n 10 enfounter the Americans again. Hp tV.nt mnnai.

Not a dollar in the way of supplies are they sending on for the relief of the General Goverr ment in its emergency. They were still doing a little in tha way of fortifyins the city of Mexico, but a Spaniard informs me that all lhe obstructions they have erected so far could be kicked over with the foot. The city had been placed under martial law, and the direct excesses were anticipated. The citizens had all been called upon to take up arms in the common defence, but unfortunately nine-tenths of theci had uq arms to take up. Nor were any cannon at the capital other than a tear email and indifferent pieces. Theie is certainly a party, and an influential one, in Mexico, which begins to talk of peace; and where, four weeks since, they did not date breathe their sentiments, they now come out openly and avow themselves. Still the measure is farfrom popular. The peace party is composed of the more honest and intellcger.1 property-holders, the merchants, and perhsps the clergy to these are opposed the military who have all disgraced I hemselves and all the demagogues among the lawyers. If the priests could be made certain that they would continue to hold their rich benefices secure, they would probably be all in favor of peace. On Ihe approach of lhe Americans it is said that Congress, with all the archives of ihe repudlic, will move to the city ; Morelia. Of course all my news is verbal, not a paper having come through. I have despatched a man to the capital for full files of the public journals, and if he gets back safe, they shall be immediately forwarded to yon. Major Borland and Gaines, CapU C. M. Clay, and all the officers taken in the north, were at liberty in the city or Mexico as was also Midshipman Rodgers. They are all said lo be well and respectfully treated how, although lhe latter was infamously abused on lhe way up to Mexico from Perote. Gen. Car.ahzo was at San Andress a, place nqrth of Orzaba, al last accounts. Tbe force with him is not stated, but is undoubtedly small. He is an, old friend of Santa Anna, and probably working at present for his master. I write this in great haste, and have no time for comment. One thing I must say, ar.d that is there undoubtedly would be a very large peace party in Mexico were it not for the overweening pride of the majority of the inhabitants. It is hard to be thrashed into a peace that's certainYours. &c. G. V. K.
