letterss brought.by the schr. Caleb Goodwill,
which arrived from Vera Cruz yesterday.
Prom these extracts it appears that the Mex

ly wo presume. deeply interested in the con
tinuance of ^jkeir President in oilier, were
panic-struck to hear of the defeat of his suppos
ed invincible hattallions, and the rupture of the
great chief himself. They had “hedged him in

impervious to mortal attack, and that the r< hel

" the intelligence received sit this place res- j
pocting the defeat of Santa Anna by Gen. Hous
ton, nml which resulted in the capture of his pt r-
•ou mid tho destruction of the Mexican Troop
engaged in the conflict, operated ns a tliutidci-
derboll on the mind* <*f the people, w ho conceiv
ed that the alleged omnipotency of their cheif-
tain was irrestiblc ; the news too was appalling
to ho admitted as matter of fact, mid even lo the
present time is scarcely credited. Tho Kedilors ; communicated the following iutcdlig
oftheGovernment paper have the audacity to
charge Gen. Gniucs with having aided “the
Rebel Troops,” by which tho battle was won.
There arc various reasons to induce ns to be
lieve thill tho the present form of government, is
not according to tho taste, interest and fee bugs
of tho great mass of the Mexican people, and
must shortly undergo some change. 'Flic* I « fl
oral system, that is, tho constitution of 18121,
with some modifications, will probably ho re
established in* Mexico ; hut that Gen. Manta
Anna, will ever again hate tho oporlnnity of ex
orcizing hi* influence over the people, (admit
ting his return) i« quite out of the question;
them is no doubt of the exist! nee of n strong
party against him, nml the principles ol his ad
ministration, and which must very soon gain
the ascendancy. Movements in favour of Fed
eration have already taken place at Guadalax-
nta,Guanaxuata, Vnl.vdolid. and in tho Mato ol
Oajacea. It is said that 500 troops were a low
days since despatched from Puebla, to restore
order, and enforce tho laws of the Government
in Oajacea, who. willing to avail themselves of
tho first opportunity of seceding from tlie ad
ministration, united thcimclvc:! under the ban
tier of those who bad pronounced in favour of a
change of Government.

Indians Routed.—The party of Indians
who started for Florida were follow ed by Col.
Bell’s 1st Regiment of Georgia Mounted Vol
unteers, and were overtaken in the Chickasa-
batehie’swanip, in Baker county, and routed ;9
Indians being killed ami 20 wounded. Of Col.
Bell’s men, 7 were wounded, 2 mortally. The
Indians fled in every direction, hut the sw amps
were so thick that our men could not follow.
Col. Bell writes that the Indians arc still in this
same sw amp and intend remaining there. The
Columbus Guards,Cadet Riflemen and Artillery
will leave to-day for Baker country.

woekeny Indians, supposing tlm Mexicans had « on
quoted Texas (and like all Indians prone to join tin
conquering part) ) find come into a small village call
ed Vicsco. Ingli up on the Rra/.n* i i\er, for the pur

The captive Santa Anna was at Velasco under

We give room to the agreement concluded be

Wo publish a communication from an officer at- j

of our men, nml the state of our w ounded, having

If this he so, I presume you will not siilfer those
hostile snow’ in the Fort, to accompany them, ns
most, if not all of them have been concerned in the
commission of capital crimes within tho jurisdiction
of Georgia. I hud tho honor of addressing yon n
letter oil this subject yestenlny, and also of n con
versation with you at Col. Crowell's, in which I un
derstood you to assent to the proposition made by
mo, to allow a reasonable time to collect evidence,
upon which I could ask von to deliver the accused
to the civil authorities of Georgia. This evidence
cannot he obtained instuntcr. Many persons wlm
have sustained injury, or had friends murdered, are
not in this immediate vieinity and probably have
not yet learned that these Indians are prisoners,
(’•mid you not send oft* ull the Indians except those
within tho pickets; and send those against whom

company tfint may he emigrated f
Be pleased to let mo know what the people of
Georgia may depend on in this matter. I do assure
