J m.ai'a, Mexico, April 25, 1847—Afternoon.
I have borrowed the copies of 1\1 Kepublirano for an
hour. ' n n v arc dated at the city of Mexico, April 21
and 22, and the latte r gives a full account of the bailie
of ('erro (lorrlo.
The Mexican particulars of the com bn* as usual, aro
peculiarly rich. They say that Santa Anna sustained
the roinl at with men against 14,000, and fought
valiantly to the vt ry last. When, finally, ho found
himself entirely nr rounded by enemies, he forced a pas
sage through "Jos Yankees” with a column of the 4th
Regiment of Infantry of line f The fact, as every one
knows, is that Santa Anna left early—all the cutting he
did was to cut the saddle mule fn m his coach, and then
cut and run.
The Mexicans admit that they li d two Generals kill
ed, but give no name save that of Vasques. Col* Conk*
and Cala'ayud are also named as among the killed. Gen
Scott’s loss, on the 17th and !8ih, is put down at over
4000, w hilo the lo*8 ofthe Mexicans is admitted to bn
2000 men in killed and wounded. They say that the
Americans fought like hordes of savages, killing all that
presented themselves, whether wagoners, old men or
women.
Don PcdrnMnria Anaya hasbecnappointed temporary
re sident (presdeitteinstitute.) One of hi* first acts
was to can cede full pardon to all prisoners who have been
confined for political tflenens since 1621, aod entire fcr
getfulncss rf the past.
Gan. Salas, w ho was President ad interim before thn
arrival of Santa Anna from exile, has issued • proela
, million announcing that he is empowered to raise a gue
i iilia corps, and calls upon all gwd Mexicans to join his
standard. In l»fs concluding son tones he ays that “war
: to death, without pity, shall be tht device ofthe guerilla
. warfare of vengeance!”
