      Saturday Morning . La Last night the Commons warmea to their work , uind , ind , after a debate on each , finally passed the Irish _PPoorPoor Law and the Landed Property Bills . The hhoushouse * ffas but thinl y attended , and the debate ' , tlthonthongh protracted , languid in manner . It was eviddenldenl that the "foregone Conclusion , " that the hills B Bins mnst pass , had been arrived at by all parties . These _< deci decisions will provide two bones for the L' _* rd £ to < qua quarrel over on Iheir meeting nest week , while in _i tiie tiie Commons the Vagrancv ( Ireland ) Bill , Waste

      1 Lai Lands Reclamation BiU , and the Education question . wil will cut outwork enough . It is rumoured lhat Lord 1 Ge- George Bentinck _' s amendment for throwing t * * e rat rates entirely upon the occupying tenantry in Irelar land , and which was only lost in the Commons by thi three votes , is again to be brought forward in the Lc Lords by Lord Stanley . If so , and bis lordship lis has any belief tbat he will be successful , it must lie v witb the responsibility of office before bim , for Lord J ( Jobn Russell emphatically declared , that the GoTernm ment would stand by the present mode of rating .

      Repeal Of The Ratfpaylvg Clauses. A Publ...

      REPEAL OF THE RATFPAYLVG CLAUSES . A public meeting of the inhabitants of the metropolis was held on Wednesday , at the Crown and _Aschor Tavern , Strand , for the purpose of adopting petitions to Parliament in favour of Mr Daneombt- ' B intended motion for theexpungement of these clauses from the Reform Bill . Mr Gbassst was called to the chair , and said they were aware ofthe fate of Mr Duncombe ' s recent motion , nevertheless it wastheir duty to persevere , and show the government they would not be contented with finality . The dissolution that would shortly t . _ike place would have the effect of testing thoie gentlemen ' s popularity who said that they were not entitled to a more extensive voice iu the representation .

      The Secretart here read letters from the following j ; entlemen , who stated that they regretted their inability to attend , but expressed their sympathy with the object of the mcetine , ar . d their _determination to support it , viz .: —Mr _Wsklev , M . P . ; Sir C * Napier , . M . P . ; Dr Bowring , M . P . ; Sir W . Clay , M . P . ; Mr Sharman Crawford , M . ? . ; Captain Pteheil _, M . P . * Mr Bright , M . P . ; and C . Luthington , Esq . ; also one from Mr Fox , M . P ., statiDg thathe had recently voted against Mr _Duncombt ' s motion , he , therefore , wondered that he should be invited to attend the wetting ' .

      Mr Savage proposed the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion ot this meeting that certain Acts passed in the reign of his late Majesty King William IV ., intituled , 'Acts to amend tbe representation of the people in England and Ireland , ' having failed to fulfil the just expectations of the people ; and as snch Acts are not and cannot be final , it ie expedient to amend ihe same by the repeal ot * the ratepaying clauses , and hy other alterations calculated to prevent all undue _influences in _counties , cities , and boroughs , [ and subversive of the fair representation of the people ir . Parliament . " One-bal : of the effect cf the Reform Bill was etuitificd by the

      clause whieh retained the nroperty quaUfic & ti-ms . Ttiat was a fraud upon them . Thc restrits , in consequence of the Ja _«* , became the real elector-- ; th ** y were virtually in no batter position than they had been under the system of rotten boroughs . In consequence ofthe complicated machinery ofthe Reform IJiH , notwithstanding the partial gocd it had effected it had failed to carry out th : * promise that it h- 'ld forth to the people at _lar-re * . Under the present system lhcy wci e not enabled to select tlieir representatives from men cf _integrity and worth , but those who could bear the expenses of an election . It was i r . ly by an agitation _originated with the people , that any improvement could be hoped for .

      Mr Smlton seconded the resolution . He conterdfd that a property _qualification was an evidence that the people of this _cnur-try were not in their proper p sition _, for the wealth-producing portion of the _population were entitled to a Veice in the _representation . Mr Er . vest Jo . ves rose to rriove a petition to the House of _C-iutnons , and in the _course of an eieq _*' . _eiit address , stated that lie looked at tl . e reper . l ot the _ratei aying ciau * es as a stepping-stone to Universal Suffrage , nnd conclude » by commending that th * _.-petiti--n be _entrusted for presentation to the hmse to the _hir . _eis ol " the indomitable champion of liberty , T . Dunccmle , Esq . The petition w ? . s as folk ws : —

      "ILat the Reform _Biil was framed lor the purpose e f extending tiie elective franchise , and < - * a ' - ciiried under s _nledfTf- of being only _s-n introduff _o-y _meascr-Mti iu : ure and _ni-re comprehensive reform . That however , mi far ? rom extending the elective j ' rascbi _**? , it may with right be held lo have had an oppos : te _tendeiii'v , if compared with the increase of tu-: population . Your petitioners therefore pray your lion , house to cany < iu ; tiie further intention of the Reform Act . ty _repealing tho e clauses that breathe the spirit o ! tinality and restriction , and more especially the latepiying clause .-., as not only objectionable onthisaccoi . nt , butas tending by the standard oi * local raUs and the undue power vested in pa _>* o ; _-hial officers , stiil further to narrow the uaconstiiuti m * l liriiitatinu of the _suffrage by rendering it subservient to the caprice of subordinate authority . "

      Mr Cuam . es _Ccchbam- ii _sceocaing the resohi tion said : lie c _-iiid _con . "eive nothing more _uiij--- t > - tha _.-i these clause .--, by which , if a person couhl not tn _^ xt punctually his rates , he wa * . to be deprived ot Iiis fw'iticai franchhe . The time had now arrived when the people co : ! d propos _** their own terms to their _teprcse _.-itativcs , lor a { . eiieial elctti _> n was al _haiiil . Mr T . Dl' . _vcomb _!* , M . P ., who was loudly cheered , next addressed the meetin- ; . The hon . _gcuilemait said , that em the last occasion that he had the honour i meeting them in that room lhcy were _assembled for the _purpose of agreeing to a petition in favour of this Bill . lie had then to ash the Ilouse of _Commons for leave to bring in that vet y bill , wliich had for

      its _o- 'ject the _ab-dition "f t _' . ie ratepaying _clausci . He thought it was riglit that he should explain te _< them what had bt'coine of that petition and that bill . The pctiti'in w ; is duly _presented to that hen . house- ( Laughter . ) Ait _* _-r its _persetitutwn , Ue rose for the ptuyose .-1 _askini' _permitssion to firing in a Bill for tlie _aholitiaii of the ratepaying _clauses * . He was told , when he rose on the oc . ? a-iou to which he hae . ' alluded , that if he said as little as possible on that bill that ministers _wotiiei allow him to inuoduee it . lie a'terwards asked them whether they would stifle i ; at its birth , or whether tiiey would a " low it to go into committee . They replied that as liiey dM not approve of the principles < _.- ! the hill they should oppose it . He then said , _thrtthe sootier they tfeu _. ht ,

      the battle the better . I . ord J . Russell .--aid he could not hear of that bill , fov it was a tross innovation if , and did violence to , the constitution of _England . They knew the rvsu _' t of the division that succeeded . lie t . Mr Duncombe ) was defeated by a majority of twenty . He must say that upon that occasion he was grossly disappointed atthe conduct of several Gentlemen , ntetuhers of the House ot" CovAmons , because ho saw those who had voted with him lor the introduction < f thc bill oppose it , nnd _witntjssed Gentlemen then votin _? in direct contradiction to th- * pledges th _. y had given to their constituents . Even tho < e very gentlemen who hid attacked Lord John Russell for his finality ductrhus , he saw do what , iu bis opinion , was _won-e tlwn a

      manly opposition , _sku'k / ng and running away , lie would not name those on that eccasion to whom ke referred , for _another _opportunity would be given them of retrieving t eir character . lie had given notie _* e of another mo : ion , whk-h would have the _effv-et of testing tlie opinion of the Ilouse of Contm-ns as to whether or not , inthe words of the petition , the Reform Bill had _disappointed the _hop-. s of Unpeople of England , and whether it was or was notlo be a linal measure . He knew these were very _inipler . _sant words to Lord _Jeihn Russell . ( A Inu- 'b . ) He considered tbat they were not to bs contented with the abolition of those rate-paying clauses . They should analyse the divisions that had taken place . If they were in favour of linality , let them vote for those * who had opposed his motion ; but i they _wtie in favour of progression , let them to a

      roan support those members who voted in favour of his motion , for they might depend upon it that the former were not deserving of their confidence . They must let tiie house know that the principle contended for iu the bill which he had introduced was _n-i crotchet of hi-, but proceeded from the great bady of the people . They should call on their representatives to act in coiiiormity with thc _wMie * * of those who elected them ; and as for him ( Mr Duncombe ) he was ready again to light the battle iu behalf of thc _pe-ple wheuever they thought proper , so that upon thera , hereafter , up . „ the exhibition and deino := _* -tration which the people of England wuuld make on the present subject , would depend the question of further leforui . ( Great cheering . ) The petition was tben _nnanimouslr ado _- _. ted .

      Mr John Shaw moved— " That the thanks of this meeting are due , and arc hereby tendered to the _ihirtv-two nieuibar _.-i oi the House " of Commons , who voted with Mr Duncombe in his recent attempt ( o abrogate the ratepaying clauses of the _Rcte-nii Act . " Mr T . Clark seconded the motion , which was carried . A vote of thaks to the _chairm-m concluded the _proceedings . The following _costributions were received towards defraving the expense of the mcetin . 2 : — \ _ies-r * Charles Cochrane , £ 2 2 s , ; Charles _Lushiugton , £ 2 ; and William SiiBpsoD , 10 *

      National Trades' Associate.I For The Pro...

      NATIONAL TRADES' _ASSOCIATE . I FOR THE PROTECTION OF I ? DUSTILY .

      " Union for thc Million . ' rpv" _r . —turn ..- - The Central Committee of fhe above association held their usual meeting at their office _, li , _ToUenhamcourt-road . After ( he usual preliminary business was disposed of , and a large number of letters from various parts of the country , amongst wbich was one from the sniallware weavers of Birmingham , stating that one of ( heir employers had offered a reduction of 6 d . in 3 s . upon a certain description of work , the Central Committee instructed their agent Mr Parker to visit the employer ; he having done so , after considerable discussion he decided upon not giving any more of that particular kind of work out ; therefore the dispute is settled for the present . The following reports ofthe agents of the association wetc received at the office .

      MACCLESFIELD . —Mr J . W . Parker reported , in consequence of his attendance being required at the annual delegation of the United Tailors' Protection Society , he had not been able to report anything of consequence the . last week , so far as the United Trades was concerned , and deeply regretted his not being able to forward an account earlier of the exceedingly large meeting of the silk weavers of Macclesfield , Mr John West in the chair , which meeting , after having heard the principles of the Association explained by Mr Parker , came to the unanimous resolution of joining the United Trades . Mr P . on thc 12 th instant proceeded to Birmingham , to endeavour to arrange a dispute ¦ with * Mr

      Carpenter , small-ware weaver , and his hands , on account of a reduction of sixpence in three shillings upon a certain description of work . The secretary of the society accompanied Mr P ., and had a lengthened interview with Mr Carpenter , who would not forego the reduction , but declared his intention of not giving out any more of the disputed article to be made up : thus the men arc enabled to remain at other employment without striking against the employer in question , / or the present . On the evening of the same day * Mr Parker attended a very large meeting ofthe scissor forgers and grinders of Sheffield , at the liouse ol Mr AJosely , bottom of Workhouse Croft . He entered into the usual statement of

      the objects of the association , which gave great satisfaction , —many questions were asked and answered , among which was one , —that the Sheffield trades depended in a great measure up ' _-n foreign consumption . Mr P . answered that the same facilities for finding a market for the Sheffield goods were in the possession of the association as any capitalist in existence , and it was very easy to create a spirit of emulation among the American working

      men in favour of their English brethren , —but nevertheless , apart from that , the association contemplated placing the surplus labour of trades upon the land , which would prove a sure antidote for the great evil affecting the trades generally , namely , a surplus labour . The gentleman asking the question expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the explanation . A vote of thanks was passed unanimously to the missionary , and the meeting adjourned to Monday the 19 th _% to come to a decision upon joining the

      association . On Tuesday , Mr Parker is to address a meeting of boot and shoemakers , at the Grey Horse , Highstreet . On Wednesday , —the razor grinders at Mr AHeuder ' s , Queen-street Hotel ; a ' so tlie pen and pocket-blade grinders , at Kawson Arms , Tenterstreet , on Thursday , —and the tailors' societies , at Mr Wheelhonse ' _s , Green Dragon , Yargaie _, on Monday , the 19 th , —aud on Tuesday , the fork grinders , at Mr Pryor ' s , Forrester ' s Arms , Iron Bridge . Jlr P . has also received applications from the hatters of Denton , the iron trades of Wolverhampton , Netherton and Bromsgrove . The silk dyers of Macclesfield have forwarded their first month ' s remittance for 150 members .

      MANCHESTER . —Mr Peel reports that on Tuesday the Cth of April he attended the first preliminary meeting for forming a branch of miscellaneous trades of Manchester , in connection with tlie National Association . This veiy important movement is ro meet the following exigencies : —First , to afford an opportunity for working men of all trades who arc not organised iii ( he locality , of joining the " monster" movement . Secondly . '—Members of trades , who , although organised locally , are prevented fro " . ; joining either from the ignorant prejudices of a majority , or from thc interested opposition of secretaries and other paid ofScers _, who foolishly dread the loss ofeitiolii _' . « ent or influence . ; and thirdly , to afford an oppuitunity for the thousand * of the shopkecpiug class , whose most vital interest is involved in a

      movement winch is inevitably calculated and _destined to increase the wages of labour , to become honorary _rac-iibers contributing to its support , but not direct recipient's of its benefits , and totally unconnected with its management . This last provision is of tlie utmost importance , because this movement must never be permittcd ' to merge into a middle class movement . It is for their emancipation , and can only safely be conducted by the working classes themselves . This first meeting was but thinly attended , chiefly hy those who arc desirous of acting as pioneers in this new move . It was agreed that a public meeiing should be held in the large room at the Railway Inn on Thursday week , Mr J . G . Cowpcr in the chair , when a very important and _liua-erous meeting is anticipated . A full report of thi * meeting will be sent to the Star .

      On rhttrsday he went to Mottram to make arrangements for commencing an agitation in that district . Ou Friday he v ' nited Ashton . The local _committt'cs of this important district being under thc deadening influence of their _secrefary and paid officers , are at present exerting themselves to check our progress . Vain attempt ! it's simply Dame Partington brushing out the rising ocean . In this strait Mr Peel applied fo Mr Richard _Piliing , the hero of ' -i 2 , who promised his best support and as . sistanee . This evening ( Tuesday ) a public meeting takes place at Ashton , when the standard of " Union for the Million " _tviil be planted , never again to be struck until Labour lias achieved its final triumph .

      On Saturday evening he attended a meeting of _delegates of the trades of Mottram , under the presideucvofMr Robert Willi , another of thc heroes of ' 42 . Mr P . begs io acknowledge the generous and disinterested support he is receiving in these districts from Messrs R . Wild , Richard Pilling , Daniel Donovan , William lieeslcy , and Richard Marsden , to whom the best thanks of the _Central Committee , and of the Association , are eminently due , for their generous and perfectly disinterested support . A

      public meeting of tin : trades of Mottram and its vicinity will be held on Monday , the l !) tb , Mr Robert Wild in the chair ; and on Tuesday , ihe first delegate district meeting of the trades of Heywood will be held in the Chartist Lecture Room . On Monday 12 th , Mr Peei visited Heywood , and at live o ' clock attended a meeting of the fustian cuttcrs of that town , ana Ii ** is _pL-ascd to give a goud account of tho _progress and excellent feeling to the _Associatim . This is a numerous body of men , who have suffered much and for ; i long period deep oppression , must of whieh is clearly traceable to a want of

      union , or to unions ot a very imperfect , and therefore powerless , character . But there are few _tvatios who can be more easily protected and _assisted by the effective _maehini'i'y of the _Association , for the Employment of Labour ; iieimj ; employed in an _ii'ipor-ant operation up n _fabrics exclusively used by the workin" class , a market is ensured . Lst these man . then , if they seek craaiieipntion , take , all means in their power to _stroKj-tliei / _, numerically , their own societv , and pecuniarily the _JS ' atior . al Association . Let them remember there is no harvest to the _improvident husbandman who _neglects cowing seed indue _season . At seven o ' clock he attended a verv crowded meetin " ofthe trades of _Hoywnod , in tho Lecture Room . Mr

      Win . Bell iv ' . s voted to ihe chair , _wk-i , after a few appropriate remark ? , introduced Mr Peel , who addressed the meeting with the usual _arguments in favourof the National Trades'Association , lie was listened to with deep __ altenti in by the _meeting . At tlio cincltisimi of hii address , he said that ' as he understood thata _roolntioti would bo submitted to them in favour ofthe National Trades , and as some who were present , were already members , the Chairman would much oblige him by taking tlie vote o ! _thoi-e wily who had not joined tho _association , as it was always his desire to avoid any mistakes n < to tlie effuet produced nt his meetings , nnd never to clothe himself in unearned laurels . Mr John Ashton ,

      fustian cutter , then came forward , and moved , with a few remarks , the folio * " ini ; resolution : — " That we , the trades o ) iky wood , iu public meetin-, ' assembled , bavin-. ' heard the j . riiiciplcs and i >>> j : e _^ _s of the JSatimial Trades ' A * _socintioii for Ihe Protection of Indusiry sad the Empbymentof Labour explained by the _Assneiauon ' s missionary , Mr Peel , ate of opinion that they are best calculated to raise theiinoral , menial and sucial condition cf * tho woiking classes to a higher position than . any isolated trade * union , and worthy the support of tlu _trades-of the United King _, dom ; _tliceiori ! wc , the trades of Heywood , declare our intention to support tbe same to the _utmogtof our power , and to persuade our fellow-workmen to i ' _oiio'v oar example . " This rc , _"olutien was seconded

      National Trades' Associate.I For The Pro...

      by Mr James Scott , shoemaker , who , in the course of his speech , bore testimony to the fact alluded to b . v Mr Peel , _rejecting the Workmen ' s Own Shop , _Diury-lane , callineattention to the fact tbat the _ahoemakers' local union , six thousand strong , were unable to grapple with this case , when the National trades stepped in , and accomplished the job wiih scarcely an effort . He also drew Mr Peel ' s attention to a most libellous attack which bad been made on the _r- ationa ) _rradesand its committee , by the secretary of the Power-loom _Weaveru' Association . A copy of the _prectoss document was then handed up to Mr Peel by a weaver present . Mr P . read it through publicly , and then preceeded to take it in detail ; showed the palpable misrepresentations in its fiist paragraph , where the erudite and slippery secretary enters into a deal of _self-laudation in praise of Iris fast-sinking bantling . He then passed on to the

      vituperative attacks uton the laws and documents of the association , proved to demonstration that the same _varacious gentleman had pilfered from those laws he ao much condemned , some of their mi .-t valuable regulations . This piratical transfer of whole sentences , verbatim el literatim , called forth a hearty laugh from the meeting . A power-loom weaver then came forward , and _administeied a _severecastigation to the recreant secretary , who had been requested and had promised to attend to justify and substantiate his slanderous production . But his secretaryship _was _> , as usual , non est inventus . The resolution was then put to the non-members present and carried by an immense majority , about ten hands being held up against it . But not one voice was raiseil in justification of this most foolish document . The meeting termincd about eleven o ' _cl'jck , and thus another _garris'in is added to our . fortification .

      Mr Peel begs to _acknowledge the receipt of a communication from the Cordwaiuers of Dudley , _Worceatershire , and begB to assure them he will instantly forward to them the information sought , and is happy to hear they have determined to take in the star , aa to that journal must the working classes refer lor full information _reBnecting the national movements , either as to trades * proceedings or for honest politics . Communications addressed to Mr Peel , 12 , Greekstreet , Chorlton-upnn-Medlock , or to Mr J . W . Parker , 5 , John-street , Manchester , will meet immediate attention .

      Mr W . II . Barling was appointed secretary to the Conference . Tho president , Mr James Roynano , occupied the chair . After several preliminaries had been gone through , the Conference proceeded to take into consideration the various printed propositions that had been submitted to tbe sections , as per rule , among which were two—that the Manchester strire accounts be audited , likewise thc receipts ar . tl expenditure of the " _Tailois ' and Labours ' Advocates . " Mr Mitchell of Rochdale , Mr Djb _* . ono ; _Blackbarn , and Mr _Dronigaolc of Warrington , were appointed auditors for the above purpose _. atid Mr John Crowley , of Leeds , was also appointed to watch the _proceedings , hi" section having desired , through him , some explanations in reference "" to the accounts . The auditors proceeded at once to their duties , which oc eupied two days . They brought up tiie : r report ,

      which was as leiliow . _* -: —The income of tue " _IniJors Advocate" was foui : d tobe £ 183 ls . Old . Expenditure , £ fo 7 ls Old ., lossthereon , £ 1918 s . 81-1 .

SJ . ; Alloa strike , £ 3 ; the balance ot the levie * . from the " _United Tailors' Protection Sir ciety" were a ; propriated to defraying the debts on the " Advocate . "

      The auditors further reported tbat they had dis covered an error in favour of Mr J . W . Parker , to the amount , of £ 11 os . ( jd . The accounts were unanimously passed by the Conference . Mr _DnowoooLE then proposed the following resulu _* tion : — _fliiet the thanks of this onion is eminently due to Jlr J . . Paikir , general secretary , and _Executive council _, ( or the manner in which they have conducted the busi . uuss ot ' _iliei union for the past year , and that the delegates present are perfectly satisfied with the accounts ns rendered of thc Mauchertw strike , and the _tnlovs' av . i hboum' advocates .

      In proposing the resolution , he remarked , that the accounts , were exceedingly voluminous , and had been audited by membeis of the Conference totally unconnected with the Executive , and hoped that " their correctness would have the tendency oi for ever set ting at re .-t the _unfounded suspicions and statements ofthe enemies ofthe union . The resolution having been second d , Mr Cnov _. U'V , of Leeds , stf . ted that the members of his section had n t beensitisfi ' . tl , and had in * tructed him to rigidly _inquira into their details , but he was now perfectly s _;> tii _* iied . The rc .-clution was then put , and carried unani mously . On the question of joining the Natiunal Association of United Trades ,

      Lateh Prom The United States And Mexico....

      _LATEH PROM THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . BLOODY BATTLE ~ AT BUENA VISTA . The Hibernia , Captain Rjrie , arrived in the Mersey on Thursday , at 9 am . She left Boston on the 1 st ,-and Halifax on the ard inst . The news gives details ofa dreadful conflict _between Santa Anna and Gen . Taylor , ata place called Buena Vista ; and , although the latter claims the victory , we think he has little to boast of . The truth appears te be , that neither party gained it . The Mexicans failed in carryingtlie American position , but either killed or wounded 700 of them , of whom 05 are officers .

      Amongst the olhcers killed on thc side ol the Americans were . Col . Jeff rson Davis , Col . A . Yell , Col M'Rce , Col . Henry Clay ( the son of the American statesman , ) and Col . Ilarnin , The Mexicans estimate the American lo _* s at 2 , 000 men killed , three cannon and two colours ; and the Mexicans estimate that ; of the Americans at 4 . 000 . Both Centrals had summoned each other tosurrender after the battle . _Theenotmous loss ofthe Americans in efficers proves that thc battle must have been most desperately fought . Gen . Taylor has sent to New Orleans to demand a reinforcement often thousand

      men . AMERICAN _ACC-GOT OF THE BATTLE . The following arc the particular- as gathered from the New Orleans papers of March 23 : — On the 22 . 1 Santa Anna _tegan the battle , by various _mancanvres , attempting to outflank and terrify Old Rough and Ready . On that day the battle was confined to skirmishimr and cannonading , without much effect on either side . In the meantime , Santa Anna had sent a large force to Taylor ' s rear , but our ar _illei-y opened upon them with great effe ; 't , and t . hey were soon compelled to withdraw . Oil the 23 d the battle cumraenced in real earnest , and raged with great vi _.- ' enee daring the whole day . 'lhe Avnericiics did not wait to b * attacked , but with tho most daring intrepidity _chavgt d on the enemy with

      loud _huzzis _. _theii _' oflioeislca'lingthemmo 3 tgal ! antl _. " . General Taylor was everywhere in tbe thickest of thc fight . _IlereceTedabitil through his _overeat , but was not _injured . Adjutant Bliss _irassliphtly wounded at his side . Adjutant Lincoln , also , of the General ' s Haft " , the intrepid your . g officer whoso _Oistinguishtd _himseifat Resata de la Palma _. was _kill'd . The battle of the 28 i lasted from early in themorning till about i p . m ., when Santa Aunadtew offhis army , and retired to Agun Nueva _, to await a reinforcement . It wil ! be remembered that Santa Anna ' s corps de reserve , commanded by General _Vasqaes , had been delayed in its march , and has no doubt joined him a few _dn \ s slur the battle , but in the meantime his army is _starving and many of his men are deserting . Captain Hunter ' s _strmij :

      artillery company was not in the action , but had Jeit A ' obterev , to join General Taylor , with six cannon , two oftliem being lS-poundeis . On the 7 th of March , one ofthe Ohio regiments also left Monterey to join General Taylor . If these , and the artillery of Captain Prentiss , arrive in time , tho General's heavy loss will be fullv repaired , aud he w 11 be ready to meet Santa _Annans-aiii . General Taylor , at the last accounts , was still _maintai'iiiig his position , undisturbed by the enemy . An exchange of prisoners had taken place , and O _^ J Rough and Ready ' s promise to Colonel Marshall to get back C . M . Clay and hi * -party , by takin * Mexican prisoners enough to exchange * , for them , " hns been redeemed . General Wool greatly distinguished himself in action , and all the _olncers fought like heroes . After the battle General Taylor demanded cf Santo Anna au unconditional _surrei . der of his whole army , which the latter declined : but in return requested General Taylor to _sutrendu- immediate } - . ' .. Immortal be the reply of _Oid il _u _^ h

      and Ready , as delivered by thc galiant _Lieutenant Crittenden — "General 'iaylor never surrenders . "' Santa Anna ' s Adjutant-Genera ! was cioturci bv the Americans , but was _aitema-ds _exchanged . * General Taylor occupied his ground on the 24 th and 25 th without , _opposition . Col . M _rgan , < : f tlio Ohio volunteers , with a small foive _, cut ' . lis wiy through large bodies ot ' _itrtned Mexican !* , and arrived at Marin . A detachment of three _cun . pai ! es , under command if Colonel Giddiug ? , was _m-ih t . i his i aid , and the whole party arc sum to have arrived I safely at Montevev . A train of 100 loaded _wag-: on « J ofthe United . Stales , on their way to Monterey from i Cimnrgo , under escort of thirty volunteers , was i captured by a body of Mexican cavalry a few miles i beyond _Mirino . Three of the men made good their r escape—the rest were taken prisoners . The Mexicans a have pes * _ession of Saralvo . China , Micr , and ail the e _toivns beyond _Camargo nnd Monterey .
