Havana, June 6, 1816.
My Lear Frienl —By the newspapers
received here lately I learn with great
sorrow you ami three other officers were
made piisonors at the unlucky battle of
the Dili of May, on the field of La Palma,
a few miles distant from our city' of Mat
amoros, and prisoners of war you are
now in the city of New Orleans.
Away from my own country, and pro
hibited from again placing my foot upon ;
its soil, it is to me a source of extieme ;
grief to be deprived ofthe gratification of
rendering you personal service on this i
occasion. It is what I have always been
disposed to afford you; of which I have j
given you proof when I conceived you
needed it.
ft is likewise very unpleasant to me
not to be in a position to share in the per
ils cf the war w ith the worthy troops of
our republic, wi h whose blood I have al
ready mingled mine in the defence of the
sacred rights ofthe nation. I have under
present circumstances, fettered as my pa
triotism is, noother means of showing my
sympathy for my brother soldiers in mis- i
I
fortune than to offer such pecuniary suc
cor.as I can as lord. This, taking advan
tage of the occasion, 1 hasten to do. I
therefore propose to you, rny friend, and
to the other officers with you, that you
draw monthly drafts on me for the full
amount of your pay; to place which sum
at your disposal will afford me infinite
gratification.
Please remember me most affectionate
ly to your comrade-officers, and let me
know if I can in any other way be useful
to you. Meanwhile, lam
Your affetionate friend, &e.,
Antonio Lopf.z dr Santa Anna.

This letter was addn ssed to Gen. Vega
on the Ttli of June, and Gen. Santa Anna
—we know riot with what view—sent a
copy of it to Vera Cruz for publication,
by the steamer that left on the lOili of
last month , it is very probable, there
fore, that it was printed and read in Vera
Cinz before Gen. Vega himself had re
ceived it. Wo look upon this as one of
Santa Anna’s cunning devices. lie must
have expected something of importance
•from the Government of Mexico when he
takes ad vantage of the first opportunity to i
send a letter to he published in tlie Vera j
Cruz papers in order to show his genero
sity.
A Voice from the Natives. —There is
a communication in tlie Matamoros Ame
rican Flag, .to which the editor thus re
fers :
On our fourth page, to.day, will he
found a patriotic effusion from a native
citizen ofthis Slate, urging on the frontier I
States to profit by the present crippled ;
condition of Mexico, declare themselves
independent, after the noble example set
them hy the United States, and to petition
that nation to accept them, as she did
Texas,- by an act of annexation. He ar
gues piompt and decisive action, and ad
dresses himself to the citizensof Taman
lipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Chi
huahua.
Catholic Chaplains. —The reverend
get t’emen appointed hy the President of
the United Slates as Chaplains for the sol- !
diets professing the Roman Catholic reli
gion, McElroy and Rev, arrived here on
ihe Bih inst., in the steamboat 'Troy from
Point Isabel. The appointment of these
gentlemen by the President, must go far
to remove the unfounded opinion preva
lent in Mexico, that the government of the
1 niletl Slates is hostile to tlie Catholic re
ligion, and that this war is waged in part
against the religion professed by tlie
Mexicans.
Volunteer Speculation. —Capt. Hufiy’s
company from New Orleans, on receiving
t heir bounty money very judiciously ap
plied it to ihe formation of a company
fund, to be appropr ated to the use of the
sick, and to the procuring of such neces
series and comforts as the company might
require. The fund thus raised amounted ;
to some §601); and through the specula- i
live genius ot Capt. Hufty, this fund has |
already increased two fold. The modus
operand/ may be slated thus:—A vessel
was wrecked at the mouth of tlie Rio 1
Giande, laden with flour and other pro- i
v-i-ions, which being sold for the benefilof
underwriters, this money was loaned to
make the purchase, and the profits ai ising
from the resale of this purchase in Mata
tnoros amounted to between §IOOO and
§l*2oo. Pietty good speculation this, and
not much danger of ihe sick of Capt. H.’s
company being unprovided for. Some of j
Iho other companies, we fear, have not
made so good a use of their bounty money.
U. S. Schr. Flirt, )
Brazos do Santiago, July 13, 1346. $
My Dear Sir One of us has just this
hour returned from the Camp at Mulamo
ros, and hasten to give you what little
news there is lice at present. We have
just returned from a cruize down the
Mexican coast, and fell in with nothing
hut a French brig, which we overhauled
and ordered off tlie coast. She had just
arrived from (lavie, and was consigned
7 O
to merchants in Mutamoros.
Gen. Taylor is still at Matamoros—has
'••bout 15,000 troops iu all, some of which
arc stationed at Point Isabel, Brazos St.
lago, Barrita, and the largest portion, pro-
Imbly two thirds his whole force, at Mata
moros: a small number is at Reinosa, a
short distance above Matamoros.
'Fhe General would have commenced
his advance upon Monterey by this time,
had he not have been stopped by an un
foreseen occurrence,: the Rio del Norte
has risen and overflowed the country, so
as to arrest all movements for the present:
the w hole country is inundated: the wagon
train cannot pass between Point Isabel
and Matamoros. The walls, or rather
ramparts, of Fort Brown, are now laved
by the w aters of the Rio Grande, from
whose banks, but a few days since, they
were some three hundred yards removed,
j Gen. Smith’s camp is all afloat, and the
poor volunteers are well nigh up to their
chins in mud and water. It is with great
difficulty you can move about from one
camp to another, on either side of the
river.
Up to this time, the health of the. whole
Army has been remarkably good; and I
hope it may continue so.
Nothing has been seen or heard of the
movements of the Mexicans since the
taking of Matamoros. Tlie country has
been perfectly tranquil, and not a soldier
j even has been taken bv our scouts.
Every thing is tranquil at present, and
our Army perfectly quiescent, which it
will be obliged to remain for some time
yet. 'i'he riseof the Rio Bravo generally
takes place in the fall of the year; but
unfortunately fur us—like the winter of
Russia for Napoleon—the evil has ar
rived before its lime. -
This embraces all the nows here at
present, and gives you all that can he said
about present position and movements.
We sail for Pensacola at day-light to
morrow morning, for provisions, etc.
We leave at the Brazos, the cutter Van
Buren. The Forward, Ewing, and Wood
bury, are cruizing above and below this
depot on the coast, touching here fre
quently.
'Fhe British barque.of-war Rose is ly
ing at anchor off the Brazos, having been
here about three days. There is a large *
fleet of merchantmen inside. Tlie weather
at present is pleasant. Flirt.

[From the N. O. Jeffersonian.]
Matamoros, July 9, 1816.
'Fhe roads to Matamoros, at all times
dangerous to an individual, was coiisi
, dered extremely so at the time I alluded i
to. Aware of this, I was detained at Point
Isabel sometime, vainly essaying to meet
; w ith some kindred traveler. At length, |
one pleasant evening, a company of seve- !
rul gentlemen proposed taking a ride to 1
head quarters. Availing my.-elf of an
invitation to accompany them, I eniiea- I
\ vored to obtain a horse, but was unstic- I
cessful. I was consequently compelled
to stride a Mexican mule, not the hand
j somest animal in the world, but deci- j
i dedly the best for traveling. We left
the Point at about five, P. M., intending,
should the night prove unfavorable, to re
main at May’s camp till daylight.
After riding for a few moments, we
came across several mounds. No mark,
not even the usual cross, indicated that
they were the resting places of the brave
soldier. One, alone, at a few paces from
the rest, was designated by a small stake
with several pieces of ribbon attached—
evidently the work of some faithful friend.
'Fhe remarks- of my companions were I
needless, instinct alone told me 1 beheld I
the grave of one of our purest patriots—
the brave Major Ringgold. I could not
but feel the strongest emotion at tlie
sight before me. There was something
so lonely, so desolate, and depressing in
the scene, that an involuntary shudder
seemingly passed though the frames of
the whole company. A deep dark ra- I
vine bounded the grave on one side,
& . .
; whilst on the others, lite thick wild reeds i
bowed lowly over the sacred remains.—
'Fhe wind howled pitifully, and all na
ture seemed singing sad requiems over
the last bed of the heroic soldier! Poor
Ringgold? Though thy bones lay far j
i distant from thy home, thy acts and worth
remain deeply imbedded in Hie hearts of j
j a grateful nation !
i After leaving tlie graves, the conversa
tion natuially turned to the recent battles,
j and I then heard a fact which has not he
i fore been noticed. After the battle of the
Palo Alto, and the night previous to that
| of the Resaca de la Palma, Gen. Tay
lor, Col. Twiggs, Maj. Ringgold, and se
veral oilier otlicers, held a kind of private
council, in Taylor’s camp, to consider
: the propriety of giving the enemy buttle j
tlie ensuing day. Gen. Taylor inclined
to the fighting side, whilst Col. Twiggs !
and Major Ringgold, more cautious aud
j not less brave, decidedly opposed him.—
j Tlie General argued that the enemy were
already partly defeated, that they had
seen the invincibility ofthe American
arms, and had learned to fear the supe
riority of our effectiva artillery. He was
therefore, in favor of pursuing the advan
tages already gained, and attacking the
enemy before they would have time to
recover from the shock. Ringgold ad
vised more prudently, it must he admitted,
a delay of a short time, till reinforced by
the expected volunteers. He suit! that I
the enemy had retreated to anoint of far ;
j greater strength, and that they had been
reinforced by twenty-five hundred men, j
fresh and unfatigued, a number alone far
exceeding our whole force. He si okeof
O 1
the fatigue of our men, who were almost
broken down by the cflortsof the day,
and said it would be rash in the extreme
to oppose them to six thousand savages.
! Had Taylor been defeated, which was
! not unlikely, this advice would ever have
been remembered as the cool calculating
prudence of a reflecting man. Finding
their reasoning useless and their sugges
tion undeeded, Twiggs and Ringgold,
very much dissatisfied, left the General to
pursue his own course. The next day
the Major learned that some in the camp
misconstrued his motives, and attributed
them to fear. The gallant soldier could
not brook this insult, and determined to
convince his calumniators that his own
safety was no consideration opposed to the
great scale of the puldic weal. And
right nobly did he sustain that honor never
yet tarnished by an unworthy act, erasing
, from the mind of all, with his bleed and
life itself, every shadow of suspicion.—
Whilst with coolness, giving his orders on
the battle field, he received a dreadful
and fatal wound from a six pounder. It
: struck his thigh at tight angles, aud pass
’ed complelely through his horse. He
died the next day, as he had lived, with
out a murmur against the wise dispensa
! tions of bis Heavenly Father.
As we continued on the road thus con
versing, our attention was frequently at
tracted hy the gay notes and lively chirp
ing of innumerable rainbow plumagrd
songsters, the mocking bird, tlie red, blue,
and black bird, and birds ot every des
cription, flew continually before us. The
meek delicate doves'covered the ground.
They have not yet learned to fear the
deadly weapons of man, being so tame as
to permit our horses to come quite up to
them. There is also a beautiful species of
bird found in many parts of the prairie,
resembling our bird qf paradise, though
it is somewhat smaller. The feathery
tribe of every variety abound herein im
mense quantities. Audubon the ornitho
logist would do well to pay us a visit.
'Fhe intense heat of the sun brings into
existence poisonous vipers and insects of
the most deadly kind. Our path was
| often intercepted by tremendous-snakes
‘•that dragged their slow lengths along,”
Scorpions, Centipeds, and Tarantulas are
very numerous, and are frequently seen ;
crawling over tlie bodies of those volun- !
leers who make the earth their bed. The |
roads are hard and in fine weather the
riding is excellent.
On our way we met Capt. Walker.— .
He is not the man a romantic mind would
picture, and indeed I think his appearance j
likely to disappoint almost every one.—
His hair and whiskers are red; his com-,
plexion not naturally dai k is much tanned
from exposure. His stature is somewhat
beneath the medium height. He is not
by any means the kind of man to com
mand at.first view that respect his actions j
undoubtedly demand. He appeared from
the short conversation I had with him, to
he very well informed on most subjects, ;
and tolerably well educated.
Situated at the source from whence
emanates many of the letters descriptive ,
of recent events, an excellent opportunity |
presents itself of detecting the many er
rors. Possessing the advantage of prox
imity to the scenes described, the exag
geration and colorings are more glaring
than to those, who, at a distance, behold
them hy tlie reflected rays of communica
ted rumors. There are many noble
characters in the army, known here to
have fought bravely, but their modesty i
has too often silenced the praise their
merits richly deserve. It will he nty
endeavor ever to bring forward such char
acters, that they may be properly appre
ciated by their admiring countrymen. 1
shall endeavor to place in their proper
lights such actions as may he exaggera
ted. Could anything, tor instance, be
more absurd than the thousand and one
tales we daily read of Walker. Has lie
not sufficiently distinguished himself in
his memorable travel from Point Isabel
to Fort Brown, v\ hen the whole inter
vening country was filled with the enemy
on the qni vice, to intercept him. Such j
an act is alone suflicent to immoitalise j
him, but it is not the only one that renders
Walker famous. Then why attribute to
him acts that ho never dreamt of.
We heard in New Orleans that Walker,
w ith his company had been attacked, and
many cut to pieces by fifteen hundred
Mexicans. Now nothing could he mote
untrue than this. The events that gave
rise to this generally credited story are
simply these : Walker was encamped
; where May’s camp now is, about fifteen
miles from Point Isabel, in an enclosure
where some butchers had formerly kept
their cattle. One evening W alker left
his camp, leaving ten men to protect it.
He gave particular orders to his men to
keep a good watch. His orders were
regarded so far as the night was concern
ed, but at day-light they fell asleep.—
Some ninety or a hundred Mexicans pass
ing at this lime, made an attack on them,
killing four or live ol \V alker's men, the
rest escaped. Walker returning next
morning, saw the damage done, and came
on to Point Isabel. The bravest act ot
Walker’s life was his celebrated pas
-1 sage through the Mexican army to v ort
; Brown. General Taylor, hearing tlie
reports of cannon from that point, was
j anxious to know w hat was going on.—
Walker proffered Ids services logo to the
fort and bring back news ut our men; his
{ knowledge of tlie‘country rendered his
I offer very acceptable. 'Fhe result of his
r undertaking, the killing of his horse and
the other attendant events are too well
known to need further remarks; but the
history of many portions of his life is by
no means so familiar, and will, I think,
prove very interesting. He was born in
; Washington City. By his intrepidity in
several campaigns in tlie Florida war,
he soon became distinguished. General
Greer., in his journal of the Mier expedi
tion, frequently honorably mentions him.
He went to Texas in time to assist in re
pelling the invasion of Gsn. Wall. Here,
as in Florida, he soon become celebrated
bv his bravery. Ho was one ofthe ex
pedition against Mier, and in that san
| quinary battle was taken prisoner and
| carried to the head-quarters of Arnpudia.
\ After an interview with tiie General he
was sent to the city of Mexico.
At Salado he led the attack upon the
guard, overpowered them, and marched
for Texas. After subsisting for some time
on their mules they were compelled to
surrender to the Generals Mercier and
j Qrtago. Some lime after lie was made
to draw in the “black bean lottery,”
i where everv tenth man was shot. He
, scaled the walUufhL prison one night
w hilst in Mexico, and with three others 1
inarched to Fexas, more than a thousand
miles distant. Here he again joined Hays,
and with fifteen others, defeated 96 Ca
manchos, killing 66. In this battle he
was run t(trough w ith a Camunche snoar
and with difficulty recovered.
For thP^ibove facts { am much indebted
to the “Globe,” but have taken the trouble
to ha,ve them confirm* d. many by Colonel
Walker himself. 11** ha> recently been
elected Lieut. Colonel of a Texas moun
ted -regiment, which ulli e he will hold
till his appointment as captain goes into
effect. - - H. J. L.

TO THE LI TERARY PUBLIC |

*OS'TA RKVIISW.
j rsi'iHE present is the tilth year of the publication !
JL of this Review, it having existed lor a longer j
period ilftin any similar work ever published at ihe
South, and longer than any of our monthly peri- :
: odicals, except the Southern Literary Messenger; j
it has a circulation of two thousand subscribers, I
widely scalleied over every section of the South i
and South-V> *.*st,and, to some extent, in the North
\ era Slates. Established at a period of great com- ■
raerciat embarrassment, and continued down to j
i the present lime, through an interval of general !
depression In (he monetary affairs ol I lie country, |
it has been only a strong conviction ut the iinpor- .
; lance and necessity of such a work at the South,
pervading all, and especially the higher classes |
j of society, which has enabled Us to sustain it with
a good degree of vigor. The extensive encourage
ment afforded to tlie foreign periodicals, repub
lished at a cheap rate in tins country, and to the I
iigider and cheaper literature of ihe day, lias ope- j
rated also soaievv hat against the success of a work,
gotten up ia-a superior style of typographical exe- •
culion, and published at a more expensive rale. — ■
Still, the Review is in a healthy condition, its '
i patronage is steadily increasing, and it might be
‘ in a flourishing stale at this moment, if the debts
due to the establishment, amounting to at Last ten
i thousand dollars, cojilii be collected even vvjili a ;
moderate degree of promptitude. In the leading
1 cities of the bout ii, collections are made by agents
1 readily enough, but to small towns and villages ;
1 situated at a distance from the place of publica- ;
tion. it is impracticable to send agents, except at a j
I greater cost than rhe actual value of tlie subscrip- ;
| Tions, The consequence is, that they are often un- ;
| collected; —the subs' libers, occupied with more '■
weighty matters, neglect to remit, and the sub
scriptions accumulate from year to year. 1 his is
one of the principal reasons, why, owing to a want
1 of those means for carry logon the work with spirit,
which are withheld through mere Inattention, but •
which, if promptly received, would be ample for ’
the purpose, me publication of tlie work is some
times delayed, (as it is in the present quarter, be
yond the time when it ought to appear. \\ e have
never, from motives of delicacy, alluded to such j
i matters before. \V e have never, through the pages I
of this work, asked our subscribers to transmit
their subscriptions. We now respectfully solicit
all those patrons of the Review who reside at a
distance,in tlie interiorof the States, ami not those
on the ordinary route between this city and .Sew
' Orleans, (from whom we intend to collect in per
; son; to transmit their subscriptions, at their earliest
1 convenience, through postmasters, in accordance
j with provisions of the law', and at our risk. An
acknowledgment of the receipt of the -money will
he made in an appendix to the Review, in which
w ill hereafter appear an entry ofo.il payments made
during the year- We hope this course will be
agreeable to our patrons, and vve most respectfully
■ and urgently solicit their attention a matter so
i essential to the prosperity ol the work.
We would now say to the literary public in gen
| era ] to that of the South in particular, that
the experiment of this Review [roves that the
South is both able and welt disposed to sustain
such an euierprize. AH that is necessary toils
permanence and prosperity, is prompt payments
and increased efforts, by its friends and supporters,
to extend its circulation. Tw o thousand subscri
bers is an excellent beginning, but if liberal re
wards are to be paid to writers for literary labor, a
much larger circulation is indispensable. We
ask public spirited gentlemen at the South every
where to aid us, by such personal efforts as they
can bestow, in obtaining a still wider, more en
