Gentlemen —A band of about, 200 Mexicans lias been prowling about the mounted r.he men’s camp, four miles Irom this place, two iih r bts in succession, and last night tae men were aroused twice by the approach of Mexi cans, Early tV. is morning our gallant Cap?. V. al- j ker started out to give them battle and had a nice little skirmish, killing four of the cre-iny by the lime my informant, an officer ot the Rifles, left, and he represents \\ ilkeralong way ahead of the scene of the first, brush, hd lovving then up. 1 g tress the enemy will j find that they have got hold of the wrong chap before Capt. W. has done with them. Thi s morning early a dragoon came i-n from Srfauta Fo, where lie iiad been left with -seven .others to guard some stores belonging to i Government, and ho states that a body of -about 0 Mexicans attacked them last night, | killing all his companions and taking posses sion-of tire stores, and lie only saved himself by running, There is another company of ritiiinen following up Capt. WM. but I regret that I do not .know by whom il is command ed. lam assured by an eye-witness that he saw four dead Mexicans on the ground when Capt. Wfi met the enemy. It is generally sup posed that this party of the enemy are near here more for the purpose of plundering small ■" parties and stealing bores than any thing el re. [Editorial Correspondent eof the Fieri ft unt .Jalapa Mexico, May 11, 1817—6 o clock, I’.M. Since the diligencia went out at noun tc Jay for Vera Cruz, anotl er diligencia Ins come in from the city of Mexico lull of pas sengers, and bringing news of not a little importance. Among the passengers was .Mr. Kenneuy, who, attca being badly treated here .about the Ist of April, was driven to the city of Mexico. All the passengers confirm what I wrote you this morning. They say that at the capital there was no Government, no ord. r, no res ponsibility —all was anarchy. Anaya was still President pro tern, but had neither in fluence nor authority. A new President is to be’elected on the loth of the present month —the tenth Chief Magistrate th I s distracted country has had within the last eighteen months. I cannot stop to count them ali up but such is the fact. The ladrones —guerrillas I suppose they should be called n w—are busy at work upon the roads, especially between Puebla and the city of Mexico. The same passengers were robbed llie other day no less than seven timer in one stage, and the inference is that the last robbers must have had rather poor pick ing if the first were very searching in their operations. The dilligenoia in which Mr. Kennedy came dowfi was robbed twice on the road. It is staled that the propositions made by England some months since, to offer her in tervention in settling the difficulties between Mexico and the United Slates, have recent ly been .taken up by the Mexican Con gress, and after a warm discussion, in which one of the members said that the whole af fair was but another attempt of the monarch ists upon the sacred liberties ot the Mexican Republic, the motion even to consider them was lost by a vote of 44 to 33. From this it would seem that the present Congress is de termined to shut every door against all pro- 1 ‘posals of an honorable peace. Santa Anna has sent a letter to Congress from Orizaba, lie gives his own account of the battle of Cerro Gordo, and claims a great victory on the first day of the fight. On the second day Providence, according to his story, crave the advantage to the \ankees. lie says nothing about the exertions of the latter. Santa Anna states that he now has seven thousand men, and that his force is rapidly increasing; and moreover that ai! are burn ing to encounter the Americans again. He wants money to carry on his operations, but Congress has not seen fit to vote him a cup per—one reason probably being that it has not a copper to give. Santa Anna, so far as I can learu, is the only man who has been spoker of in Mexico as a candidate for the presidency, and he is in very bad cdur with the mass. The States north of Mexico—Guadalajara, Quanajuato, Quereiaro, Zacatecas, Durango, San Luis, and others —talk openly of separat ing from Mexico, and letting her take care of herself. Not a dollar in the way of sup plies are they sending on for the relief of the General Government in its emergency. They were still doing a little in the way of fortifyin o, the city of Mexico, but a Spaniard informs me that’ ail the obstructions they have erected eo far could be.k'.cked over with the foot. The city had been placed under martial haw, and the direst excesses were an ticipated. The citizens had all been cahed upon to take up arms in the common defence, but ■unfortunately nine-tenths ot them had no ».■ —— -1 1 S?T-»g -■ •mf'W ■#****■ arms to take up. Nor were there any at the capital other than a few small and imiilfi rent pieces. There is certainly a party, and an influen tial one, in Mexico, which begins to Uik of peace; and where four weeks since they did nut dare breathe their .sentiments, tney now j come out openly and avow them.-eives. fmu ! tiie measure i- tar from popular. lue peace ; party is composed o! the more honest and in ! felligent property holders, the iii-Mrnam>, aim perhaps the clergy—*« these are npp<P-d the military who have all disgraced themselves, and Hlfthe demagogues among the lawyers, if the priests con id he made cerotui that they would continue to hold their rich benefices secure, they would probat y be all in favor of peace.

We regret to find in the Matamoros Flag of IheSth insf., the following, regarding General Cushing: ‘•Gnu. Cushing met with an accident of a very serious nature on Thursday the Oth in-1., which-, we are truly sorry to hear, is j likely to prevent his moving about for some i lime. Accompanied by a lady, he was tak i ipg a walk through the streets alter night fall, | and in going out of tlie Plaza at the south east corner, where the street is fortified so as , to leave only a foot-path not exceeding two | feet wide for egress, he placed ins foot upon ■ a loose brick which gave way and precipitat ! ed him into the ditch, breaking the hone of i his left leg, just above the ankle. He was take?) to his quarters immediately and Dr. Media il called to his assistance, from whose stirg-fcal skill expectations are entertained that the broken bones may speedily he heal ed. At present he is suffering much pain, and the accident distresses him, as it prevents his fulfilling the duties of his recent appoint ment.” An express for Gen. Taylor from Gen.

Upwards of 4000 troops are now at the Camp of Instruction at Palo Alto-. [From the .V. 1 . (Slohe, l-l/h hist.] Trouble in the >Vig-\vam. Our Whig friends are in u peck of troubles on the subject of the next Presi dent; and we cannot perceive how we can extricate them. One vfing has nomi nated General Taylor—subject to the decision of a national Convention; —an- other wing has nominated him without asking any questions at all. The heads of tit 3 party are opposed to a military chieftain; and the lump of the whole con cern bitterly oppose him as a slave holder; then, to crown all these difficulties, General Scott steps forward—captures Vera Cruz and tiie Castle -fights a mighty battle, and defeats Santa Anna —takes up his line of march for t lie Halls of the Monteznmas, and is, hy this time, in the City of Mexico—having either conquered a peace, or driven the Congress ami the Cabinet thorn tho Capital; and all these gallant achievements, overshadowed the prospects of old Rough and Ready—who, with characteristic zeal and activity, is keeping things straight in Northern Mexi co, and abiding ids lime. Mr. Webster is u illing to bs \ ice President with either Scott or Taylor;—while Clay’s ft lends are determined to stand by him to the last; and the w hole valley of the Mississippi is in favor of Judge McLean, who was a Republican of the old school, and an emi nent civilian. What can we do to reconcile these con flicting opinions and unplesa nl dissensions? The West will not support Scott—the I Whigs of the East will not vote for Tay lor or Clay, and neither section is quite ready to/ a compromise on McLean.— Meanwhile, .Gen. Taylor gets it severely horn the Abolition section of the VVhijf party. It he will manumit his slaves, throw up his commission in the arm\ T and retire to his farm, he will, they say, “have claims on their consideration.” The Taylor-Whigs, in the Middle States, wish that clever gentleman, and highly respect able vVhig,Clay ton, of Delaware, to run on the ticket with him, for Vice Presi dent; but Webster will not consent to this, and says he is taking the wind out of his sails in the South. Clouds a?e arising all round; ambitious military chieitains are crossing their swords; thee nemies of the South, and ail tiie fanatics are loud in their denuncia tions of slavery; Judge McLean is locking on, “caiman a summer morning,” and old Harry of tiie West, in flue order and condition, is ready for a race with any of them, and is full ot wind and hot lorn, whenever his triends will agree to trot him out. In the moan lime, many of the Whig papers arc most grossly abu sive of that bravo and most w orthy patri ot, Gen. Taylor. Take for example, the follow ing from the Fasten TIVg. “H Settled Matter. —A man whose «rs mr-r*** sTwr-ETTr * "» ■! *n ■■——jyarrr'j 1 t- ■ trade has been war—hunting runaway slaves amid the everglades of Florida, I and butchering the poor Seminoles be cause they harbored the fugitives, and waging the slave-drivers’ war upon the poor, starving Mexicans—doing it all, I admit, it) obedience to orders — doing it ablv, but still volnntarilv— and none the less infernal because legal—suc'a a man must never be Presidedt by the votes ol the free B;ales/' We do not see the Democratic papers assail General Taylor; they admire his patriotism—applaud ins gallantry, and admit most cordially anJ sincerely that lie merits the confidence of Ins country in any station in which lie may he placed; it is tiio Whigs a ho so shamefully abuse him; and before long, in addition to ids , being a military chieftain, stained wim bloo I—a Southern man, and a slave, holder, we expect to see him denouncer! ;ts a Democrat !

We find the following gossip about tho value of different Northern newspaper es tablishments in the N. V. Correspondence f us the Charleston Coni ici . Notwithstanding the many newspaper failures which we have witnessed in this citv, the value of well established news paper property is very great. VVe had a few years ago a prevailing mania for j types and paper, which while it lasted I used up a considerable amount of floating | cash. It went out a lew years ago, and the last new daily established was, I think, the Telegraph, which lived about two years. This mania has now run in- j to Sunday publishing, there being now five or six Sunday papers, and two or three projected. The old Sunday papers, | I Atlas, Mercury and Times, doing j j we ll the Atlas probably divides 840 per week to each of its proprietors, and the J Mercury nearly as much. But I was led ; to speak of the veluc of newspaper proper ty, hy hearing of the sale of one-half of ; j the Boston Atlas, by Mr. Hayden, to CM. School or, of the Lowell Courier, for about $35,000. The Allas is one o.f the best papers in Boston, and is | patronized, but probably the most Ge paper is the Daily Advertiser, wMch i has a very large advertising patronage.

Picayune.] A iH«:ilot»“4 of Ccno Coi/io. iVlr. Kendall, in one ot’ his last letters, relates several anecdote?, current in the army, which illustrate particular portions of the acton at Corro Gordo anti give individuality to the parties en gaged in them. It is not to ho expected that a despatch, however elaborate, can embrace till,or ; indeed many, of the acts of heroism which con tribute to the success of Battle; and it is only in the way of anecdote anti army gossip, which grow into traditions that many ot lhe most timing acts of chivalry are preserved. The following ruse j dc "urrre gives its to understand that Col. Uar ney is quite as fertile in expedient, when need be, t as bold in action; A I?use dc tiuen’f. —With the Rifles, a portion ! of the Ist Artillery and one company ol the 7th Infantry, this dashing olUc.er had in the morning driven tin; Mexicans irota two hills which wore , overlooked by their strong work on Corro Gordo, but which were still important. This had been effected with great loss, and so many had been detailed to carry off the wounded ami take care i of the dead, that in the afternoon the colonel found himself with hut a mere handful ot men to protect and sustain the position he had won with so milch difficulty. About 2 o’clock in the afternoon the Mexicans made a tremendous demonstration j as if to retake the heights. Happening to he in | a valley directly between Col. Hartley and Cerro Gordo, whither a few of us had gone, undercover of the trees and brushwood, to obtain a good view of the Mexicans on the latter hill, we had a most excellent opportunity of seeing the whole mo'.s ment. A furious clang of trumpets liist announ ced that the enemy was in motion, and soon we could see a long line of infantry marching down j the steep hill side and making directly for the height now occupied by Col. H. and his small but gallant band. With such tremendous fury did the trumpeters blow their instruments, that one unused to them would have thought that they alone were suffi cient to drive every Yankee e.otnph tedy from the heroic, and sacred soil of Mexico. Onward still they came, and onward; louder came the blasts from the trumpets as doubtless to give themselves co rage, a« they neared the spot where they kn w they would meet with war to the death. — j Thsp osiiion was all-important to them, and a host was on the way to attack it. Soon they reached a spot almost within musket range, and 1 while they had halted a moment to form, to re ! cover their wind, and collect and strengthen their nerves for the coming struggle, Col. Harney iiu j proved the occasion to play off a regular trick upon them. His men were partially concealed | behind the brow of the hill, yet he himself was in : plain view of the hostile host; and now he com ; menced a harangue which would have served for ; an army 0f20,000 men, appointed every way with conaon, with cavalry, with mortars, and vvith all i the appliances ot war. “Don't shoot yet: shout ed he to his little hand, and his lungs arc none of the weakest; ‘‘wait till they come closer, ami then give them h—11! Don't draw a trigger, 1 tel! you j —double charge those cannons, there, with grape and cannistcr. and wait till I give the word; 1 don't want one of them ever to get bask alive!” In this strain he went on interlarding his battle speech with a few more of the strongest kind of -adjectives than I care about repeating. The ef fect was glorious. Hut Amid- of the harangue which might have 'm en IWurd Jfcmi'c, was l">{ upon the Mexicans not a qoarteraf that distance off; and as uoinc one ol them understood English. 4 ARTICLES. I Per.

Have j you Asthma, or Difficulty of breathing, th*Mi llie { only efficient means to cure you is to useJoy/n s i Expectorant, which will immediately overcome ; the spasm which contracts the diameter of the wind tubes, and loosens and brings up the mucus which clogs them up, and thus removes every ob struction to a free respiration, while at tHe same lime all inflammation is subdued .and a cure is cer tain to be effected. Have you Bronchitis, Spitting of Blood. Pleurisy, or in fact any PELMON \RV AFFECTION, then use Jayne's Expectorant and relief is certain, and you will Hud that you have used the proper means. rrEEM AEL BEAUTY !—(T LPABLE M - | GLI7CT.—It lias been observed by visitors from ! all other countries, as well as by persons of the best ; cultivated taste in this, that in no country is there a larger share of female beauty and exfellencc«Lan | in this cliy. Vet, while the shoe-fitter, drese-rna j ker, and milliner, are engaged in adorning "na j ture’s best gift to man,” one part appears almost totally neglected—-THE HAIR. How frequently | do the ravages of disease lay waste the form of the fair and beautiful; ami though restored again to health, yet those flowing locks which once ad -ru ed their heads, fall off and never again return to j their original beauty. It is inconceivable how any person, more especially a lady, can manifest so much neglect on this point, when a “NEVER FAILING REMEDY,” can be obtained by pur chasing Dr. J W N L H HAIR 1 ON 1C . w hich will perfectly restore tins only neglected part of female ornament.

Fowle—Dear Sir: Two years ago I the past winter, a sudden and violent attack upon j my lungs by' exposure to cold, confined me to my j room and lied for several weeks; and when I re * covered I was so much oppressed by difficulty in breathing, that 1 was incapable of rapid walking and violent exercise, and often was unable to .deep ! or rest upon a bed by night, The suffering was ' frequently extreme, and judging from the iueffica cy of the remedies used, I supposed the disease in curable. Being persuaded to try a bottle of Wis tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, without the least con fidence in its efficacy nr that of any oilier prescrip tion, no one can fully understand my surprise and ! joy, when I found llie difficulty almost entirely re moved before one bottle was used up. Having a mortal aversion to medicine, and seldom using it I in any form, nothing hut sympathy with my fel low sufferers in luces -to make this public state ment, and recommend the article to others similar ly afflicted. With respect, yours truly. HENRY WOOD. None genuine, unless signed 1. LIU ITU on the wrapper.
