| "A rumor reached Vera Cruz on the ight of the
24th inst, that Gen. Cadwalader's command had
fallen in with guerrilla party few miles beyond
Jaapa, and by movement unperceived by the
guerriHeroS, succeeded in surprising them and
killing about thirty Of them, without loosing q
man. Other accounts say lha, fifty guerriHeros
were killed.


There are great many guerrilla parties on
the road, small body OF our troops left San Juan
on the 2lst hoping TO overtake Gen. Pillow, but
after proceeding two or three miles they encoun-
tered some guerriNsros. Those they charged
upon and dispersed, bu, they saw SO many others
on the road iu small parties that it was thought
prudent to reinquish the design of coming up
with Gen. Pillow.


Santa Anna has either imprisoned or sent out
of the way Generals Ampudta. AImonte, Bravo.
Arlsln, and some some say Rejon. Arisla has
been ordered to Acapulco.


! Almonte is in prison, and is charged with
holding communication with the Americans. 1t
Is even asserted that he is accused of holding a
reasonable correspondence with Gen. Worth.
Every line which has passed between them was
a simple letter Of compliments, written by Gen.
Worth at Saltillo last fail, and to which he has
never even received an answer.

As regards arms, the infantry are probably but
Indit1arently provided; bu, it is known that new
cannon are constantly being turnci out at the
foundry establishment for that purpose, and in
this arm Santa Anna may be enabled to oppose
no InconsderabIe strength TO Gen. Scott.


1t Is said that a delegate from each State in the
Republic has been appointed all to hold meeting
at some given point, for the purpose Of taking

Santa Anna, according 10 Ell Monitor RepuB.

list of general officers: Bravo, Rincon, Canalizo.

Morales, Imone, and Ampudla. Fortunate it

All accounts agree in stating that the utmost

missiles are turned out in abundance. and that
men are collecting in large bodies TO fill up tho
rank and file Of the army. The people, it is said,
have been aroused and Santa Anna employs the
intervals between the compassion of gh-soandInr
proclaUallOhS IN Inc more sOIQlGrIkc and serious
business of preparing substantial defrncos Of tho
seat OF government As a means of keeping in
power, despite the forehoding compc xion of such
returns of the votes Of the States as have been
received, Congress, no doubt through his procure
ment, have passed Il law to the effect that their
successors shall meet on the lst of January next.

Santa Annn's conduct in battle, he has certainly
wonderful knack Of raising armies and recov-
