Gen. Scott in The City of Merico.-PositsOn OF
General TavLor-An0ther bGttte ant1c1PGted--


Robbery of American Trains, dc.
Just rs we 90 to press the following intelligence
has reached us from our attentive correspondent at
Richmond, by magnetic telegraph,
R1cHMoND, Va.-l2, M.
The Southern mail, which reached here this
morning, brings New Orleans papers of the 9TH
inst, containing further intelligence from the seat
of war which seems of more reliable character
than any that has lately to hand, though still
somewhat in the form of rumors.


An arrival from the Brazos brings the Mata-
moras Flag of the 3Oth ult., which states that It
had been rumored there for more than week
that General Scott had arrived in the city of Mexl-
CO, and was in full possession, having suffered
loss of 800 men in an engagement with ihe enc
my. -,
Further intelligence had also been received at
Matamoras, on !he 30th ult, of what was conSid-
cred positive character, by private letters, con-
firming the rumorcd arrival of General Scott at
Mexico, and that he was in full possession OF the
Halls of the Monlezumas, but whether he had
fight at the Rio Frio, al the g7tes OF the city
itself was still uncertain, though all accounts a
gree in the announcement that battle had been
fought, and a loss Of three hundred Americans
had been the result. . .


It was also asserted that General Valencia, on
nearing 0I the poSllou oi 0eHcIdI oSO" s.o''S0
for ;he Capital from San Luis with large force,


General Hopping had received information at
his camp, near Camargo, that Gen. Urea was on
the Rio Grande side of the mountains with an
army of 1000 men, He Immediately sent TO
Matamoras requiston for a squadron OF dla-
goons, but only one company OF mounted men
could be sent him.


General Caravnjel with $50 men, had made
his appearance twenty-five leagues beyond Mata-
moras and had detained largo number of mules
loaded, for Malamoras. Several cargoesof goods
sent from Matamoras for Monterey, had also fallen
into his hands. s


1t was rumored at Bucna Vista that Grneral
Rucs, with an army 5000 strong, was marching
against General Taylor's line, and that troops
were moving on Paris This intelligence, Of
course, had caused great excitement in General
Taylor's camp, and his brave but liile army, were
in high spirits at the prospect OF another oPPortu-
nifty of meeting the enemy.


The old warrior however, is not 10 be caught
mapping. A company of mounted cavalry had
been stationed on the road, and the most efficient
measures adopted 10 guard against any sudden
movement of .he enemy Capt. Rucker, with
two pieces of artillery, had also been sent to re-
connore


This intelligence is of the most interesting char
acter, and will cause further advices to be looked
for with great anxiety.
