All sorts of plans are being resorted to, and with not much success. It seems, too, that there were no signs that Vera Cruz was to bo evacuated. Tlio people there had turned out in a body to clear away the •and embanked against its walls on the northern and western sides, and to dig a ditch. Even the women and children were engaged in carrying away the sand. It is also stated that Santa An na half remitted $75,000 of his own funds to the city to aid its garrison. The correspondent of the Picayune says : “At Vera Cruz the state of things is very much at it was when I last wrote. The author ities are busy in issuing proclamations annonn cingthe threatened attack and issuing some pro- j venture orders, among the most unpalatable of which is one forbidding the masquerade at. the carnivaL There are many, however, who re gard tbo threatened invasion with incredulity.

A hard battle was commenced near Saltillo, | between Gen. Taylor with 5,000 men, and Santa I Anna, with a force of upwards of 20,000. •The Mexicans had no artillery ; Taylor had 18 pieces { light artillery. Gen. Taylor lost, it is said, about , 2 000 men, and tho Mexicans about 1,000. Tay | lor h;ul taken position at a mill-pond, about three ! miles from Saltillo. Gen. Marshall had left Mon* i tery with provisions and two 18-pounders, guard |cdby a strong escort, to join lien. Taylor. The i Mexicans about Comargo think Santa Anna has ! been badly whipped. Col. Morgan of tho Ohio j volunteers, stationed at Cerralvo with a strong j force, has been attacked and bis force cut up ail j along the line of observation as far as Mier. An j other report is that Morgan was slightly wound, cd and lias retreated. Several of our trains and many mules with sutler’s goods, have been cap tured by the Mexicans. Gon. Urroa is on his way to Matamoras with 4,000 cavalry. From die Maliunuran Fbig—March 3. Our town has been thrown into the most in tense excitement by the reports constantly reach ing here relative to the perilous situation ofGen. Taylor’s division of the army. They are so vague and confused, that we hardly know how to com monce an abstract. That a battle has been fought, no one can doubt fora moment, but how it has resulted, or what dangers are impending on the line of the Itio Grande, is enveloped in the most peaplexing uncertainty. M e give, how ever, what seems to be the best authenticated statement received from the seat of hostilities : Gen. Taylor, while at Agua Neuva, 22 miles front Saltillo, with 5,000 men, was attacked, on the -2d ult. by a Mexican force of 15,000. Find ing lie could not maintain his position, he made good his retreat to Saltillo, covering his wagon train. Here a severe engagement took place in i the streets, in which the Mexicans suffered a heavy loss. After destroying what of the public stores he could not transport, he continued his re reachcd the Riuconda Pass, where he was again attacked, but successfully defended himself.— Here all thft rumors, reports and letters leave j him. Onfce in Monterey, and lie would be safe, but his ability to accomplish this much, was alto, gether problematical, as the Mexicans were swarming in every direction. A merchant in Co marge, under date of 25th ult. writes to his friend in this place:—“Three expresses to-day from Monterey; lighting in Saltillo; Marin in Mexi can possession ; large train of wagons, 126, and and 160 private mules taken; McCulloch’s com., pany taken ; 6000 cavalry this side of the moun tains, and tilings in general turned upside down.” From another source wo learn that Col. Morgan had abandoned Corralvo, destroyed all works he could not take with him ; and that a courier from Monterey had reported at Catmtrgo that 1500 Mexicans between the two places, more were iu the neighborhood of A icturia. This much we cull from the mass of reports j before us, without vouching for its correctness. The. destination of several boats has been chang.! ed within the lust few days, on reaching this place, and the “Troy ” held in reserve at Ca margo to convey despatches. All the xvagon trains for other places have been slopped here, uud every one is on the tjui lire. We have strong confidence in old Zacli, and believe it impossible to whip him; but should harm betitll his division ot the army, the conse quences to those who have left him with such re sources will lie terrible.

Two IS-nodndcrs a,w , guns ol a smaller calibre, were taken up. Lei. Marshall left this morning for Saltillo. \ j The speculations here are, that G n.

Should *anta Aina be (in such three as is represented, Gen. ’aylor clui fall back on Saltillo ; and if driven rack trim there, he can retreat to Monterey,where lie will be secure.
