Embarkation of Troops at the Brazos—Fur ther of the Surrender of Maj. Gaines' Command—their Arrival at San Luis — Movement of Santa Anna's Army—March towards Saltillo—Santa Anna's Address to his Troops. At anea'ly hour this mo min" the schooner Harmonious Walker. Capt. Malcolm, arrived from llie Brazos, hav inj_r made the passage in six days. Through the couricsy of Mr. Ma’rtm, who came passenger on the schooner, we arc placed in possession of our cor respondence to the IBih iiist. and various items of intelligence. Mr. Haile writes on the 1 Bth that there were transports enough at tfie Brazos (or all the remaining troops of Worth’s divi. sion, and that every moment of calm weather was improved in embarking them. In three goo i days more lire whole j command would he off. Bv this arrival we have further infor mation in regard to the troops captured I)V Gen. Minon. In Minon’sown modest ! report, which is before us, his prisoners 1 are set down at 82 in all. Resides the Americans taken by him, there was one Mexican named Galeano. who had been with our troops as a spy and a guide. He was immediately put to the sword, although Major Gaines in terceded for him. We have before as another list of the captured, which includes the names of Capt. Albert Pike of Arkansas and Capt. Wm. Heady of Kentucky. Capt. Heady was captured two days after Maj. Bor land's party by a party of ranciteros.— Ilis fate is uncertain. The parly captured is now said to have consisted of fifty Arkansas troops and two parties of Kentucky troops, one of twentv-five, the other of eighteen. Their camp was surrounded in the night after they had marched forty miles. Report says that Capt. C. M. Clay wished to break the ranks, but could not induce others to assent to it, finding the Mexicans so outnumbered them. Minou’s command con-isted of two thousand and some hundred men, according f 0 some accoun’s others say of not more than five hundred. Dan Henrie, well known asaMier prisoner, who acted as an interpreter to the Arkansas troops, made his escape from the Mexican camp, on Maj. Gaines* horse. The guard fired upon him, but he escaped uninjured. The prisoners arrived at San Luis on the 2G:h ult. J)i ums were beaten through the streets and guns were fired to cele brate the event. In this connec'inn, let us explain that the Tampico Sentinel’s account makes a great part ofthe priso ters Irishmen. We doubted this when we read it, hut had no authority on which to contradict it; but Mr, I fade gives a different translation of the letter from San Luis. He makes all that is said of Irishmen apply to that company of deserters the formation of which we have already noticed, and the passage concludes: “They have been permitted by »he general in chief to hoist the flag of (heir nation.” We have not ihe original Spanish to refer to, hut have no doubt that Mr. Haile’s is the current ver sion. It agrees with what we have al ready said of that company formed of de serters. We arc assured that there are but few foreigners in the Kentucky and Arkansas regiments. Mr. Haile gives us another important item from this same letter from Sun Luis. It is to the effect that on the 27th ult. there marched out of San Luis f>r Tanqne cle la Vaca, the place where Minon made hi> capture, three bodies of infantry, a brigade of cavalry, and that of fool artillery, with more than fourteen pieces of artillery. These pieces consisted ofthree‘24 pound ers, three IS pounders, four 16 pounders, and the others 8 and 6-pounders. It was also said that within l«o days another 1 division would march, and shortly after, the rest ofthe force remaining in San Luis Potosi. So it appears the blow is to he struck in the direction of Saltillo. Santa Anna’s address to his troops, dated the 271 h ult., favors this idea, and would ( seem to leave no doubt about it hut we learn that the opinions of the olTicers in i our army are varions on this point. Many 1 think Santa Anna is in truth on his wav 1 to Vera Cruz, and that the display of force ' on the other side of San Luis is intended to ma-k his movements, and hide the weakness of the latter place. , '1 hough crowded for time and room, f I xve cannot omit Santa Anna’s address. i The General-in-Chief of the Army of Operations of I the North to his Subordinates; ( Companions in arms! The operations of the cnemv demand that we should move precipitateli upon his principal line, and we go to execute if. M he independence, the honor and thedestinv ol the nation depend at this moment on your decis ion. Soldiers! theenlire world observes us, and will expect our acts as heroic as they are neces- ( sary. Privations of all kindssurround us, in con soquenceoflhe neglect shown towards us for innn than a month bv those who tfbeuld provide s«ui pay and provisions. But when has misery de bdititedyour spirits or weakened your entbusi as ml The Mexican soldier is well known for ho frugality and his patience under suffering—nevei wanting magazines in marches across deserts—am always counting upon the resources of the eneim ; to provide for his wants. To-day we shall undertake a march over a desert country, without succor or provisions. But i he assured that we shall immediately be provided from those of the enemy, and with the.a you will be sufficiently reimbursed. My friends—we go to open the campaign. What days of glory await us! What a flattering future for our country! H»w satisfactory, when we contemplate that we have saved its indepen cence. How the world will admire us! How the nation will bless us! And when in the bosoms of our families, we shall relate the risks and fatigues w icb we have endured, the combats j with and triumphs o- era daring ami presump- | tuousenemy; and herealter. when telling oui i children that we have saved ourcountry a second | time, the jubilee will be complete, and these sacri fices wil then ap|»ear to us as nothing. Soldiers! hurry forth in the defence of your j country. The cause we sustain is a hoiv one; never ‘have we struggled with more justice, because we fight for the land of our forefathers ami of our children, the honor and religion of our wives and children! What sacrifice, then, can be to * great for objects so dearl Let our motto be, “CONQ.UER OR DIE! ’ Let us swear be fore the great. Eternal that we will not wait an instant in purging our soil ofthe si ranger who has dared to profane it with his presence. No treaty, n -thine- which may not bo heroic and proud. ANTONIO LOPEZ DR SAN I’A ANNA. Headquarters, San Luis Polo si, Jan. 27,1347. [From the N. Orleans Picayune. Extra, 25 th ult.] FURTHER FRO3I THE BRAZOS. In addition to the details given in our last, we annex the following items of information, for which we are indebted to Mr. Marlin, who arrived on the Harmonious Walker. Gen. Wool apprised Gen. I aylor, towards the end of January, that he anticipated an attack at Saltillo. In consequence, Gen. Tavlor left Monterey on the Ist of February with his staff for Saltihn. He took wi’h him Bragg’s battery and Thomas’s battery, the Ist Mississippi Rifles and May’s squadron of dragoons. Capt. Thos. F. Marshall was to leave Monterey on the 3d inst. with bis company of mounted men, also for Saltillo. Capt. Gordon, with a detachment of 150 re cruits for the different regiments, also left Monferev for Saltillo with Gen. Taylor. The American forces at Saltillo wou'd be between 5000 and 6009 men. In addition to the two batteries named above, the batte ries of Capt. Washington and Capt. Web ster were at Saltillo, and at last accounts the troops were throwing up formidable fortifica tions. Little apprehension is felt as the re sult of any attack which may be made upon that point. The number of troops left at Monterey does not exceed 500 men, but the citadel or “black fort” is held bv them, and there is no route by which the Mexicans can approach the city with artillery, save by Saltillo.— Without artillery any attempt upon .Monte rey would be futile. The troops at Monfe rev consist principally of Ohio and Indiana volunteers, all under the command of Col. Rogers. Capt. Arnold, of the 2d Dragoons, has also been ordered to proceed to Monte rey from the month of the Rio Grande. We mentioned in our last the capture of Capt. Heady bv a party of rancheros. He was taken, with seventeen men. two days after the command of Majors Gaines and Borland had been surprised. In regard to the murderers of Tit. Ritchie we learn that Gen. Taylor had investigated the affair as thoroughly as possible while mi bis return to Monterey. ILs inquiries led I him to release the first alcade of Villa Gran and also the interpreter of Iceur. Ritchie, an Englishman, who was also his guide; but he retained as prisoners two Mexicans, upon whom circumstantial evidence fixed suspi cion, and carried them with hjm to Monte rey. The principal man concerned in the atrocious affair, the one who threw the lasso, was still at large, H n 1 in po-se-sion of the despatches. He proceeded on his route to San Luis by the way of Victoria and Tula, having had the despatches translated for him at Linares. We have conversed with an excellent Spanish gentleman who leP Durango on the ISMi of January—Senor Benito Velez, a nephew, we learn, of Peter Harmony, of New York. Senor Velez confirm-* all that we have said ofthe action near El Paso on the 25th of December. The loss ofthe Mex icans in that affiir was about 180 men. No news bad reached Durango of the fall of Chihuahua when our informant left there. On tlie 10ih of January Gen. Heredia left Durango for Chihuahua at the head of 700 men, of whom 150 were cavalry. He look with him 1500 muskets and-two pieces of artillery. When he reached Cnencame, in the north part of the State of Dunngo, he heard the news of the action near El Paso, and leaving there his infantry, lie pushed on to Chihua hua with his cavalry, with the view to as sume the command of the Government forces there. 'Hie cavalry of Cuiltz, which was in (he action ofthe 25th of December, and which protected as far as possible the retreat of the Mexicans upon El Paso and afterwards Cari zal, had dwindled down to a hand full by de sertions which took place at the different ran chos on the route. News had reached Durango that about the sth or 6th of January two English ships en tered the port of Mazatlan, having evaded the blockade. They are supposed to have been laden with ammunition and other oiu nit ions of war. We add Gen. Minon’s report of his suc cess. The date is omitted, but the despatch is addressed to Santa Anna; “Excellent Sir—To-day I have captured, without the loss of a man, two chiefs of squadron, four officers, and 76 men of the troops of the United States, who bad advanc ed to this point; all their arms, horses and equipments have been taken for the nation, and at ihe first opportunity will he placed al the disposal of your Excellency, according to the list herein. The prisoners will be put en mute for San Luis to-morrow, and I shall continue my operations about, this point, and if fortune is favorable to me, I shall endeavor to turn it to account for the public good. “Your Excellency, on receiving this ac count, will please regard it not for what has been done, since it is a very small affair, but merely as a proof of the desire which we have to discharge our duty. In spite of the diffi culties which we have experienced in cross ing over this country, exhausted of every thing, we shall conquer all inconveniences. Among the persons taken to-day was one with arms in hand, Galeano, a Mexican who served ihe enemy as a spy and guide. ID was immediately pul to the sword, ihe chief of the surrendered forces wished to in tercede for him, etc. etc.” There, I have not time for another word— ihe schooner is off. I enclose Tampico pa pers. “• Later from Havana. The bark Elliott, Capt. Watts, arrived yesterday from Havana, having sailed on ihe ISth inst. The mo>t important intel ligence she brings is from the peninsula of Yucatan. The dates from Merida received in Ha vana are to the 6ih Inst. The forces of Campeachy, under the command of Senor Cadenas, had entered Merida. Gov. Bar bachano has been deposed, and in his stead Senor D. Domingo Barret has been nominated Governor of Yucatan. The city of Merida capitulated to spare the ef i fusion of l)!ood, and the act of canitula i tion is referred to as the Convention of I Tecos—we presume from the village at 1 which it was signed. Gov. Barcachano 1 was to sail for Havana on the Spanish I)ri«; Manuelita, which arrived at Hava na on the 12di inst. By a decree issued on the 20th of Jan uary it is ordered that the authorities and ■ public functionaries who, down to the day of the convention of Tecos, 1 ad not se conded the plan of the Bth of December, should give in their adhesion in writing, j Bv another decree oflhe same date the i residence of the Government and the | Council of Stale is transferred to Cam pencil y. The blockade of Laguna and Cam peachy had been suspended so long asthe most absolute neutrality should be ob served, and vessels could come and go freely which should not attempt to carry by stealth munitions of war. The Council of Slate by the advice of which Gov. Barret rules, was format)v installed as far hack as the 12th of De cember, but the instrument insialliiigsnch council has again been promulgated. The local news from Havana is not of much interest. The Till and Mary Ann Jones arrived thereon the 12th inst. from this port. LATER Fito3l THE GULF. J Correspondence of the Mobile Hi'a’d Tribune. United States Squadron. > Os! Anton Lizardo, Feb. 4, 1817. f I believe the bnele»i and most imelugiUle mode of giving information of events, is by dates, and in writing you the unconnected acts transpiring in the squadron, 1 will adopt it as far as practicable. On the 19 It of Jan , the Commodore trans ferret! his fhg to the Princeton, and proceed ed on a cruise to Laguna, a village or rather succession of villages sit uated on a large la goon about thirty miles northward of Gam peachy and 200 miles southward of Vera Cruz. The steamer Vixen and .-cummer 1 Petrel were lying at anchor in the lagoon and on friendly terms with the inhabitants, | notwithstanding which, however, boarding j nettings were placed around the ves-els a» ; at night, and all other precautions of de euce taken. The Princeton, by reason of her draft, could not approach the shore within sever.il miles, but the V ixen came out and communicated. Os course nothing of inter est had occurred, the vessels merely main taining a blockade. On the 2711 i, the Prince'on returned to ; this anchorage and the Commodore to his j own ship- During his absence. the prize 1 steamer Petrita, brought down from Vera Cniz on the 22d, Idem Col. A House Delapn of Louisiana. lbs adventures are rather romantic, as far as 1 can learn. Under in structions from Gen. .Scott, he set out from New Orleans to visit Vera Cruz and the surrounding country as a spy, and to cover his intentions proceeded firs* to II ivana, and j obtained a passport to Vera Cruz as a French- i man, (he is of French descent and speaks ! the tongue like a Parisian ) After arriving ! there he penetrated as fas as J daps, asrer- j fained the probable nnmberof men that could 1 be thrown into the castle of San Juan D * Ul- | loa, the length of time for which it K pmvi- j sinned. &,c., and the general /out ensemble, /he j material , &c.,lhat would oppose Gen. Scott’s ’ contemplated attack. During his stay he narrowly escaped detection, being suspected and subjected to several clos* e\min it to ns. Being informed that (he airliorities intended j committing him to the Castle as a snv, he 1 had barely time to escape on hoard a French ■ merchant bark King at Sicrificios, from j which he was taken and brought down by | the Petrita. UK escape was singularly pro- j vidential. The men of the boat supposed him one of the t assengers of the boat and carried him off under mistake. They were waiting for one of the passengers and being ordered authoritatively in French “to shove off,” obeyed unhesitatingly. Again, the arrival of the Petrita, at Sacrificing was purely acci dental, nor should I omit to state that the French bark had been brought info Anton Lizardo as a prize h few days before and had just been let go. On flie 231, three vessels ran the block ade at Vera Crnz, notwithstanding the vigi lance of the Albany and St. Mary’s’; in | fact steamers are the only vessels to block- ; ade 'y. On the 27 h the French brig Princess Ma- j rie was brought in by the Albany. She was | taken near Compeachv and a waits the Com- j modore’s decision. The same day tlie small ; schooner Mariner, arrived from Havana, with despatches for the Commodore, supposed re lating to the filling out of privateers from that port under Mexican colors. On the 29th the Porpoise returned from i Tampico and the sloop Mariner proceeded to I that place with C<d. Alfon-e Delapn on hoard ; as a passenger. Os course he communicates with Gen. Scott as early as possible. On the 31st, the Porpoise went out to cruise and the Princeton left for the blockade of Alvarado. Feb. 3d. the French brig Princess Marie, was permitted to leave here for Sacrificios; the French Commodore guaranteeing that no part of her cargo should be landed. The same day the Petrita brought down intelli gence from Sacrificios that the advanced guard of a column of our forces advancing from Tampico upon Tuspan, hail been defeat-* ed and sixty of our soldiers made prisoners, Santa Anna was slso reported to be still at San Luis Polosi. The rumor is now current that our whole naval force has been ordered to collect here on the 20th of this month to he in readiness to ro-operafe with Gen. S<*ott in the expected attack on Vera Cruz, and it is the general im pression throughout the squadron that we shall have a fight at last. The only vessels of war now present at this anchorage are the frigate Raritan and steamer Spitfire, together with a number of gun boats. GEORGIAN OFFICE, / Sanannah Feb. 28. 1847 \ ¥.o*B of the 17. s. Propeller Ocean. The steamer Wm. Gaston, arrived this morning, reports that the U.

Business has been better this season than forsever.il yeirs past, and our merchants have been graiifie I with the of many old fares, which in times lung syne were very familiar, but for some time past have been boxing the compass, with the hope of finding a bet ter market to buy and sell in thin Augusta. At last they have come to the conclusion, from ac tual experience, that they may go further and fare worse, ami they have again commenced dealing with our merchants. Anew customer is always welcomed by them, but to see one of these oldrcus t imers return, speaks volumes in favor of our mar ket, and their visits are doubly welcome.
