Speaking of the account of Santa Anna's cap
ture (Which we copied from the 'Tropic the New
Orleans Picayure says:-"The news OF this battle
is somewhat doubtful; at any rate there must be
some error n-the date. Capt. Davidson says that
he safted from I'ampico on Monday morning, the
18th, and made 1875 miles that day by the log
He further states that the mail came in from Mex
leo on Sunday the l2th and that the latest news 1t
brought from Mexico was to the 4th. He likewise
spoke with his consignee the morning he sailed,
who assured him that there was no later news IN
the town. The letter announcing the battle says
news to the 9th had been received by express from
Mexico. Capt. Davidson himself puts no conn.
dence in this. We have no means ourselves OF
forming any opinion on the subject. 1t certain
that an ucIon was anticipated, and had 1t been
known in Mexico the morning Of the 9th that one
had actually laKsisnIace. it might have been ex-
pressed to Tampico by the day the Sarah Ann
sailed On the other hand, rumors had been re-
ceived in Mexico as early as the Sd, ,ha, battle
had been fought on the plains of APpan, with pre-
ciseIy the same results mentioned IN the ex
press letter. but the Mexican robbers IN their pa
pcrs of the 4th totally dscrcdit them. The rea
der will form his own opinion in the premises; VIC
are inclined to bo ncredulous."
