Scull for 1'ie city's gocernment Gallantry of Gen. Scott and Col. llirney the Lady of Santa Anna, $c. Vera Cruz, Oct. 3J, H17. Eds. D.'lta I understand a sicamcr leave at nine o'clock, A. M., to-day, and I avail myself of the short notice jjifen to drop you a few items of news. Two days ajj-i we received news from tl.e city of Mexico of the oust satiguiniry batile of the war, which resulted in a victory to our army and the entire rout of the enemy. The American loss is heivy mi men as well as in officers, Sinai the termination of the armistice our loss is estimated at ti'MH) killed, wounded, Sec. Anionjj the number are many all int o'ficers: CuN. Ransom and Mcintosh, and 3Iijs. tinham and Scott, are of the killed ; Gens. Pillow, Shields and Worth are of the wounded the latter slightly in the hand. Sach a battle has not been fjujht daring the war. The enemy used the time of the armistice in making preparation for the engagement, and calculated with certainty on gaining a victory. But the ' skill and heroism of our otficer an i men defeated all their hopes, and routed them with immense slaughter. Your excellent correspondent at the city will give you more fully the particulars than I can at this distance. Suffice it to say, that our army has coercd itself with imperishable glory. To-day we have news from Cerro Gordo, that the guerillas attacked Capt. Featherton's Louisiana volunteers, killed 12, and bidly wounded the captain and 8 men. This is a serious loss, arid Padre Jarauta will pay dear f'r it yet. Some of our volunteer troops set fire to the dwelling house of Santa Anna, at his hacienda near Ccrro Gordo, and it, with all its valuable contents, was consumed. This is all wrong. Jf they had burned down the villages in which the guerillas found rtftie, it would have been all perfectly right. If the build. rig of Santa Anna gave shelter to the guerillas it was ri;ht to destroy llicm,' but not because Santa Anna was leading the forces of the enemy against us. I await a further explanation from the oiliccr causing it to be burned. Capt. Lewis was reported to have lust Lis life in the conflagration of the hacienda, but I am glad to hear that it is contradicted by later authority. Col. Jliles is pursuinj the even tenor of his way, and gives general satisfaction. Gen. Patterson and staff are here. Tue brave old General will remain here long enough to organize a force (and transportation of it,) large enough to enable him to override all impediments which may be thrown in his road to Puebla, where he will most likely make his headquarters. In the mpan time, whilst awaiting transportation, he will! not be idle. Several matters will beattended to. I shall not hint at them now, as it might defeat the enterprise. Gen. Cushinj and staff, and about 1000 of his command) have also arrived. Gen. Cuhir.g is a very able man and will give a good account of himself whenever an opportunity otfors. The gallant and chivalrous W. II. Polk is also here. He has given up high station, separated himself from a young and lovely bride to aid tits country in her just and riphteous cause. MAS3ÜNA. Peace and quiet in the city the closing of the Churches and juJ kill course of Gtn. Scott levy of contribution good conduct f our army. National Palace, (Mexico,) Sept. 21, IS 17. Eds. Delta An orderly and peaceful disposition seems to have taken possession of the people of this city. The citizens tell us that the city has not been as tranquil for two years as it is at the present time. This has been brought about bv the well retrulated disposition of the troops by Gen. Scott, together with J the other regulations adopted by the government ot the city. Yesterday, being Sunday, the clergy kept all the churches and places of religious worship closed, which had a tendency to excite the mind3 of the populace and impress them with the belief that something serious was going on unseen. Gen. Scott had previously informed the clergy, that he desired they would continue as heretofore the exercise of their religious ceremonies ; informing them at the eanie time that they should be protected in their person and property, as you will see by a clause in the general order which I send you, places all churches, monasteries and public edifices under the protection and safeguard of every American. Gen. Scott again sent to the clergy and desired them to open their churches for religious worship, but they heeded him not. He then informed them, in substance, that their course was calculated to inflame the prejudices of the people and excite them to disorder, and if they thus continued their course of conduct, he should forthwith withdraw all protection from their property, let the consequences be what it might. This had the eff-cl of bringing these gentlemen to their senses their buildings were opened at or.ee, and their religious ceremonies contin lied. You will also see by a general order that the General-in-Chief has imposed upon the city a contribution of jk 150,001), of which 2J,0GO is to be appropriated to the parchase of necessaries and conveniences for the sick and wounded, ss'JO.tHX) for the purchase of shoes, blankets, &.c, for a gratuitous gift to the rank and file of the army, and 10,000 to be appropriated to other military purposes. The levying of coMributions is a new movement in the prosecution of this war. The manner in vhi:h it has been appropriated reflects the highest credit to the head end heart of the General-in-Chief, and shows that he has not forgotten the gallant army who have followed him througii tire and tlod, and erected a lofty temple of fame on which tic will stand admired by all the world. Tothoarmy it is but an act of justice to compensate them for tl.e pecuniary loss they have sustained by the various movements incident to so many battles as have been fought bffoie the capital. It is but fair and just that t!i iii!ri!j,t.ii)ts of the city should pay it, as I do not beheve there is an instance on record when an army has captured a city by assault, that the people have been protected in their persons and property as they have been in this instance. Our army entered the city by storm after tl.e most determined and stubborn resistance, in doing so they lost many of its proudest ornament?, and our whole loss amounts to one-third of the number we brought here. Our victories, one ufter the other, were the most decided ; finally driving the defenders of the city from their very firesides. Even after we had entered the city our men were 6hot from the tops of the houses. Their whole line of conduct was calculated to provoke pillags and plunder ; yet still the property of this rich and beautiful city was left untouched and unharmed. These facts reflect high and honorable credit upon the discipline of the army, and are the brightest trophies of our victory. THE RANK AND FILE. Sept. IS, IS 17. During the operations of the army before the city, we have had cause to notice with especial pride the conduct of the rank and file of the army. Innumerable have been the instances of gallant bearing and lofty valor, of patriotic impulses and noble deds. Not that style of patriotism usually so abundant about election times and fourth of July celebrations, but patriotism and devotion worthy the soldiers of the Ai Kvican army worthy the sons of the land of the free and home of the brave. It was at a time when their hearty co-operation with the officers was Heeded at a time when death was being dealt in their midst unsparingly, and at a time when it trifd the hearts of the bravest of the brave. These noble soldiers are worthy of some reward from the country, and I aincerely hope thoe designated by their o:liccrs will receive as they are justly entitled, commissions in the army in accordance with the late act of Con grea. The heavy loss we have sustained will require that many appointments will have to be made either from the ranks or from civil l.fe, and those who have acquitted themselves so handsomely in the ranks, will make far better olücers than those taken from civil life. Gen. Scott refers to the conduct of the ddiery with as much pride as lie docs to any other department of the army, and I am confident he will give his hearty consent and influence to the appointments from the rai.ks, as yon will see by his published order, which I send you. The annoyances of the General-in-Chief Regulations of the National Palace. ' SsrT. 23. General Scott, with Mr. Trist and his staff, have removed from the Talace to a residence in a more retired and quiet part of the city, where he is, m doubt, free from the incessant annoyances to whicL he wo subject in the Palace, and it is only

now, by a strict guard at the door, that the populace are prevented from harassing him during the whole day. Every Greaser, Greasercss, and Grtastrita, that has lost a horse, an ass, an ox or a cow, a hog or a chicken, is daily seeking an opportunity to see the Commander-in-Chief, to know if they will not be remunerated for them. Snne state that the Mexican army destroyed their property, but, as the Americans drove the Mexicans away, they think we ought to assume all the res;onsibiluies. They have heard so much of the liberality of the Americans that they ti.ink they have nothing to do but to mike out and preeent their accounts. One fellow had the impudence.

a day or two since, to apply fur indemnity fir losses sustained during the street fight, under the following circumstances: When the Americans filtered ti.e loan, some ten or twelve men were posted on the top of his hjuse, and were tiring indiscriminately into our ranks; a small detachment was sent to dislodge them, which could only be done by forcing the doors of the house and ascending through the interior; as soon as the detachment accomplished their la.k and ' cleared all the build. ngs in the vicinity, they returned to the command, leaving the doors of all the buildings j from whence the firing had proceeded to be closed and re-lnckcd by the proprietors, or whoever might take ; the trouble to do it ; but it appeared that as soon as our troops left the neighborhood, the lepero entered the building and rubbvd it of its content-; end for this the fellow-wanted to be indemnified ; as he stated, if the Americans had not entered the bu lduig in order to drive the people away who were lirinj from the top, it would not hive been plundered. The fellow was informed that he might consider himself very fortunate that Iiis head had not alrcadv looked through w ft a halter, and if the authorities took anv further notice of the case, it would be to give him that consideration which his conduct merited. So it is every day persons applying for redress of grievances, who, if they had their dues, would already have received three feet of rope. General Scott being removed, General Quitman occupies the Palace, and it has been placed under the superintendence of Capt. Naylor, according to the following regulations: 1. O.iiccrs quartered in the Talace, or having troops quartered in it, will report immediately to the Superintendent, the number and locality of the apartments occupied by them, or their troops respectively. No apartment in the Palace can be tak-n possession of or occupied, as quarter?, fur either ullieers or men. or r any other purpose, without having been previously aligned by the Superintendent, upon proper application made to him. U. No bonk, reo-rJ, paper, article of furniture, or piece of property of any kind whatever, found in th" Palace, will be permitted to be removed from the Palace, or from one apartment to tha other, without the written permission of the Superintendent, lirst had tor that purpose. 4. No burinl will be allowed within the Fuldce, or any of its grounds or enclosures. 5. Troops quartered in the apartments, containing any of the public records, or nitional archives, will immediately vacate them ai d find quarters. (5. Any interference with, or mutilations of the books, papers or records contained within the Palace, is s tricily lurbiJtlüti ; and all persons are must earnestly requested to observe and enforce a conipliam-e with this regulation, and to preserve, as fir as possible, the Palace itself, and all its furniture and cun tents from injury or spoliation. By order of Major General Quitman, Military and Civil Governor, CAPT. CHARLES NAYLOR, Superintendent of the National Palace, and Custodian of the .Nations! Archives, National Palace, Mexico, Sept. Xil, 1S17. The grand reception room of the late President is now occupied by Gen. Quitman as an otfice, as also a Krtion of his suite of private rooms are occupied in the same manner as heretofore, except that they ate protected by close and heavy guards. Tlu su.Ie of rooms which her ladyship, Donna Senora, had the honor of tiliing, are now occupied by the General's Stalf, which, no doubt, contributes to render their duties more agreeable than for some weeks. Several otiier rooms are occupied by dillcreut officers of the General Stall', but all the trtvips have been removed. The only change which has been made in the budding was one of a strictly national character the portrait of Iturbide hung up over the reception chair of Santa Anna, which was all very well a month ago, but I.t. Hammond finding a full length portrait f General Washington in one of the rear rooms, and thinking that as tiie changes had been so general in the Palace,, the portraits might as well change places also: and now the portrait of the father of our country faces the principal entrance to the chamber, whilst his much loved stars and stripes, enveloped in a halo of glory, wave over the halls of the National Palace. Sept. 23, IS 17. Eds. Ueltal send you the three first numbers of the American Star, ptibl.shcd by Messrs. Peoples and Uernard you will lind in them the orders of Gen. Scott, since our entahce i:i'o the ci'y, as also the list of the names of ti.e captured deserters, executed ia pursuance of a sentence of a jpncral court martial. Our prisoners, who were sent to Tiduca on the approach of our army, have arrived safely in this city. I understand that they are still prisoners of war, and will probably soon be exchanged, and that they have been sent here by the Governor of Mexico, on his own responsibility, he not having received thy proposition for their exchange. I think it altogether more likely that they are indebted to the increasing and untiring exertions of Maj. Gaines, for their release from confinement. Those who arrived yesterday are Capts. Clay, Ile.-.dy, Smith, Lieuts. Churchill, Da idson, Barbour and l'i privates. Although the city up to the moment of writing, is as quiet as it could possibly be under any circumstances, we have daily reports of the rising of the populace, and the assassination of our army. No doubt some such movement has been contemplated, but whether they will be able lo bring theusscltC". up to the "sticking point," is a matter of extreme doubt. I can hardly believe an enemy who could not stand against us in the field, will now attempt to overpjwer us by such means. Too Mexican Congress does not meet until the 5th of October, at Q icretaro. Wo can form no idea of what they will be able to do. The seven northern States, which some time sin-e formed a coalition, pledging themselves to the suppoit of each other, in opposition to negotiations for peace, have held a meeting of delegates, who have denounced Santa Anna in strong terms have declared him an outlaw and a traitor, and at the same time have passed a resolution requiring each State to furnish 3,0U0 men, armed and equipped, for the further prosecution of the war. Ger.s. Parcdes and Pustamente have been appointed to the command. The last reliable information we have of the whereabouts of Santa Anna is, that he w as a few days since at or in the vicinity of Puebla. What his ob ject is in going there, unless to make bis way out of the country, 1 cannot imagine. I can hardly think he would undertake attack Col. Childs in position, when he has not been ablo to sustain himself behind the best fortifications; and farther, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, he will have to take his lodinnrrs somewhere eUe. Since I last wrote you, Cols, Dickinson and Paxter have d;cd. Gens. Til low and Shields's wounds are doing well, and 1 think it probable Gen. Shields will start for the United States in the course of a few weeks. Major Loring has lost his arm, but will be able to be out in a few days. Col. Mcintosh died last liil'ht. The new rifle regiment has had a fair opportunity of testing their ability ; and although much was expected from them, they have exceeded the expectations of every person they led the way from the time the attack wis made on the 13th. until they crossed the gate of the city. They were led by Lieut. Stuart, who unfurled their banner on every breast-work. Although the infantry shoot three times to their once, still th'.ir fire is more destructive to the enemy. Never, at any one point, or under any circumstances, have the Mexican been ablo to eta nil the severity of their tire. When they arrived at the gate of the city, they picked od" the artillerists with such accuracy, that they were unable to load their gun, or even show their heads above the breast-works. This regiment has never, as yet, been furnished by the government with a stand of colors. At Tuebla the officers had a stand made at their own expense. This flag has been the first on every breast-wnrk, until General Quitman's column entered the city. Now, I would ask, has not this regiment handsomely won one from the hands of some city of the United States and then let mo ask, who are more ready to reward gallantry, than 111-: fair ladies of the Crescent City. MUSTANG."

The allusion in the fallowing letter of our corres- !

pondent to his own and Mr. Kendall s wounds is a rather futinj affair.' We trust both the worthy j;eritleiuen are doing as well as could be expected afler such a perilous adventures and rough encounters, and that Mr. Kendall's horse's ears and .Mustang's saddleskirt have suJered no permanent injury. The good people of this Union could, quoth Harry Monmouth of honest Jack FalstalT" better spare better men.'' The Achilles of the army could not set along very well without the llnner of the Delta " and the 11 siod of the" Picayune." Sept. 23 We have quite a number of rumors liv ing about from Pueb'a. One says that Sana Anna ' has defeated Col. Childs ; another is, that Col. Childs h is uken Santa Anna prisoner ; but as far as I have j been able to trace them to a reliable srurce, I lind our latt si dates from Col. Childs are to the 2ol ins'.ant, ' at which date he was as comfortably situated as could be expected; but b this same conveyance you will hkely learn what is the -xact state of affairs there. Among others of the unfortunate wounded who are djiug remarkably well is Mr. Kendall, of the Picayune, volunteer aid-de-camp to Gen. Worth, and your modest, but humble servant. Mr. Kendall yoj "will rind in the list of wounded slightly. I do not think his wound was considered dangerous from the first, as the ball struck " him right plump in his horse s ear," and at the present time he looks to b in as fine health and spirits as I have ever seen him, and as well as a ' war-worn soldier" might expect to be. 1 was so " uiitbrtunatc" myself as to be struck right on my horse's saddle; but the ball was spent and did not go through the saddle-skirt ; therefore as yet, " have not suflored any inconvenience from it." I also happened to bo caught in bad company a: the garita, and, with several others, was knocked head over heels by the explosion of a shell, but being in a hurry to pick myself up, I trod upon an o:Iiccr, who pettishly said I had ' no business there anyhow !" therefore I duu't conn: that any tiling, as I hurt somebody else worse than I was hurt myself; now, having taken a bath, brushed olF the smoke and dust of battle, and between good liquor, good segars, and a moderate share of the balance of the giwd things of this world, " am as comfortable as might be expected under the circumstances." II iving neglected to have my name put down on the list of wounded until after it had been madi out, that all the world, and my numerous friends in particular," might know that ' I, too, tvas hurt," will excuse this paragraph from your modest correspondent. TIIE ESCORT OF HER LADYSHIP DONNA SENOilA LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. His Excellency, Don L'-uez de Santa Anna, that was, but is no more the President and Commander-in-chief f the Army of the Republic of Mexico, having determined to locate himself somewhere out of the reacli of the horrible Yankees, has requested ii. s better half to j in him in his pilgrimage. S.ie therefore applied to G ?n. Scott for permission and protection out of the city. Accordingly, the General no dniibt projerly appreciating her object, and fir the purpose of enabling her to join her disconsolate lord in his misfortunes, directed that she should have the proper escort, and Capt. llarral, of the dragoons, as celebrated fir his affability and courtesy, as he i for his bravery in battle was selected to do up the amiable and place her iadship, Donna Senora Santa Anna, out of the n ach of the " loathed barbarians of the North," and particularly ' that animal called the volunteer." The o.'Lcer was peculiarly furiunato in discharging- his task to the entire satisfaction of the lady, from whom he received many thanks and salutious, and assurances that, if chance should evercausa the:n to (tuet under different circuinjtances. he should be entitled to the "distinguished consideration and resu.'ct" of herself and unfortunate lord ; and I expect by tlii time hc is soothing him in his misfortunes, and endeavoring to assuage, his reverses by that kind ness and devoted attachment for which the women of this country are justly notorious; and no doubt, in the course of one or two months from this time. His Excellency will be diverting himself by his favorite pastime and amusement cock-lighting in which combat he has, heretofore, been more successful and fortunate than he has in his combats with los Americanos del Jorte. RESIGNATION OF GEN. SANTA ANNA. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, General of Division, well deserving of his country, and President of the Republic, considering That evpn viewing the state of aXairs in consequence "f the proceedings at the Capital, we ought not, on tiiis account, to despair of defeirhn the independence of the nation, attacked without motive or :round by the United States. That as long as the National Congress confided to me the executive power, so long were resources collected for the campaign, but now, if the war is to bo continued, it would be extremely inconvenient to remove the resid'Mice of the supreme pjwers from the centre of the Republic. That allhci'jgh the decree of the General Congress for its removal, was not confirmed, it nevertheless manifested its concurrence with Article 1st or the project by which it was to prepare lo fix its resident in the city of Queretaro. . That in a national war, and with the enemy in the bosom of the Republ.c, the greatest evils which might supervene, should be avoided, which would be to dis solve the government of the Luion, and give room to the various .designs of faction, by leaving the road designated by the fundamental law of the country. That the act contemplated by this decree is demanded by circumstances, as in fact neither the General Congress, nor the Council of Government, nor the permanent deputation, was assembled : that it is one of the indispensable methods of advancing the war, and is ii it comprehended in the restrictions placed by the decree of the 20:h of last April ; therefore, in accordance with the power with which I am invested, I have decreed the following : Art. 1st. In resigning the Presidency ad interim of the Republic, in accordance with lue 97th Art. of the Constitution, it is d -creed that the suoreme executive power of the nation shall bo confided, after the pcblicatiou of this decree, to the most excellent General of D vision, Don Jose J. Ilerrera, and he most excellent Sr. Don Lino J. Alcorta, in place of Don Nicholas Dravo, made prisoner of war, who was named by the decree of the 7th inst. Art. 2. The supreme powers of the nitinn shall reside for the present and until tl.e decision of the legislature, in the city of Queretaro. It is ordered that this be duly published and circulated.

St. Clair, of the ehip Talnnaroo, arrived yesterday from Rrazos St. Iago, which place she left on. the 5th inst.. we learn.that Col. Hays was still at the JJrazos with a part of his command. The steamer Ann Chase sailed on the 5th for Vera Cruz, with a portion of Colonel Hays' command. Capt. Edmund JJ. Pill, of the 15th Regiment IT. S. A., died at sea on board of the ship Tahmaroo, on the TJth inst. His remains were bronjjht to the city for interment. Capt. Pill was a resident of Chicago, 111. His mother lived in Napicrville, 111. From the Flag of the we learn that the yellow fever has broken out at Matamoras. Four or five persons died there of black vomit. Our last accounts from Col. Puller and his battallion of 3d Dragoons, left them two days' march beyond Mier. The uains which the Dragoons are escorting to Monterey was halted for several days at Mier, in consequence of a report received that a large Mexican force was preparing to attack it, and a reinforcement was ordered up from Oarnargo, consisting of a company of infantry nnd two pieces of artillery. Thus strengthened, with. Colonel Belknap in command, the train proceeded on. The largo amount of specie going up under this escort will prove a tempting bait, but we have no idea that the Mexicans will be rash enough to venture an attack on eu large a force. Through a letter received by our commandant, a few daysince, from Major General Taylor, we learn that he will leave Monterey for this place about the lt of November text; and that he will make this his headquarters.

IVo Slorc Territory lVliigf Harmony. We commend the following to Senator Corwin and the Whigs of Ohio, who so hungrily caught at the ' no more territory" bait thrown out some weeks ago by an anonymous corresjKindrnt of the National Intelligencer. There is great uniformity in the party just now, truly ! Nothing, since the bank, tantFand distribution are to be given up, is left in common, eje-rpt that 'sympathy of hatred' of which John Quini-y Adams once wrote. Webster in the North, resolute for the Wilrnot Proviso, and no more slavery ; Perritn in the South, for no more territory, but d uibly resolute for slavery, if territory be annexed ; and Corwin in the West, pendulating between the two, ready for any trump ! What a picture ! Where are the caricaturists, usually so numerous on the eve of a presidential election, and so happy in their hits! The puzzling dualism,' or rather perhaps we should say poly ism, of Whig principles, forcibly brings to mind the school boy's idea of Chaos a great pile of nothing, with no place to put it in. The extract is from the Xishiitle Whig, the leading organ of the party in Tennessee. We copy from the Richmond Enquirer. The remark about the 4 unconstitutional assumption of the war-making power by Mr. Polk, dtscluc3 some of the Whig spirit, and "shows that we do not quote loeofoco' authority. The Whig, it will be observed, is for plundering Mexico to the full, in payment for the e.jenses of this unjust war; for retaining a third or more of her territory, and not even paying u dollar in exchange. This is heading' Mr. Polk in good sooth. Dayton Empire.

The letters, except one, were found in a building on the commons, and the papers, &c, unmolested. A small amount of money was taken in the drawer, but it is supposed most of it was lost by the burglars in carrying the drawer, as some of the mony was found in the street.
