Prpvtpus tfe thia the officers, who had gone to ihe rear o f the,train, wero fired at from the SSE511 and steady manner- the Mexicans. The mdmeiittlic attack was made on the.head of .the train, the dragoons charged on the en- tho lapse, of a very short time, the Mexicans again made tlieir appearauce in seemiiigly overwhelming numbers, at least 1J700 or 1,800 strong, and. opened a fire on several points at once; herer a conB.idera.bie ,number of pack mules fell into ftehands of tne foe, from the extended lin® Which-Had to be kept up on the march/owing to thc najtow defiles through wltich the lllie Whs passing. ' C«l. McIntosh, after a rather severe contest, lieat off the assailants and then fortified hun- seiTbeliind his wagons, deeming it Imprudent to continue on without a reinforcement, par ticularly requiring artillery. 1 Atiexpress reach? ed the city on Monday, )he 7th inst., in the evening, and on Tuesday morning Gen. Cad wallader marched to Iiis relief, with a.section, detailed from the howitzer battery, 10 guns, attached, to the voltigeur reginieht, under .Lieuts. Biakely and Cochrane, four companies llth regiment, under Col. Ramsey, one com pany c<f the felt and one of the 7th infantry, and company K, o f the 3d dragoons. Twenty wagons accompanied. . The Mexicans are said to be posted in con siderable strength, in tho vicinity of ilie Na tional Bridge, close to which the train ia en trenched. They are determined to dispute the passage. Gen, Cadwallader, on his junc tion with Col. .McIntosh, will be about 1500 strong, and. ho has declared that he shall soon be able to clear tho road of these desperadoes, the guerrillas. Although the name is hot giv en; there is little doubt of the Mexicans being under the conunand o f Padre Jaruela, t he Span iard, of whose exploits we have already spoken. The exact sum, in specie, conveyed by tliis train, Is $350,000. There is ho authentic in. telligence o f the loss sustained by either parly in this encounter. Dr, Harney, brother o f the colonel, it Is said, received a musket ball in the leg, wfaic|t was, howevef, but a flesh wound. .

Whilst they were bivouacking on the. qther side of the bridge, beiiig so fatigued that they were una ble to furnish a guard, tliey were informed that some persons wero barr leading Ihe bridge A. guard was then stationed below the bridge and the encnmpmeut to prevent the party being surprised. - At tliis time, signal lights on tlie ridges and cliffs were distinctly men. Before daylight thc scouring party was sent out, and also a party to clear tlie bridge, which Was done with out &ny opposition. - ■ 7> Thie main body of tho party then jassedoycr the bridge. Every thing then appeared to be safe; and all danger being past, Lieut. Mc- YVi|liatf)s and Mr. Frazer were sent back to biting on tlie train oil ftealher side o f the bridge. A s they were entering tiie bridge, a party of about 25 Mexicans appeared on tiie bridge, and fired several volleys on them. The wagon master, and 4 others, who wero passing the ■, were fired on, and the whole 5 were killetl^and the wagon captured, It tvas of no great value. After the fire had ceased, a patty of lancers appeared on t he bridge, ,and seemed to he pre paring to charge, but seeing tliat Capt. Batn- bridge’s party were preparing to receive them, wheeled their horses and galloped off Capt.- B- pursued his march in good order, followed by 400 or 500F foot lancers, who hung upon his rtk.r anti flaiihs for four or five miles, but at a respectable distance. Thus hemmed in, this little partyvpursued its way until it arrived where Colonel McIntosh had oncamped with lustrain. . The Mexfcans who had attackedBainbridgq’s party, were tlio same who had compelled Col. Mclntfish- te halt and wait reinforcements— Tho pjrty remained that night in Co). M.’s camp, and during the whole tioio the Mexicans kept a. qontinued fire on the camp, approaching -tvith the greatest boldness very neat to our sentinels. , . . On the next day Capt. Bainbridge’s party resumed its. march to. Vera Cruz, being joined :by Capt. Uupern’a U. S.. dragoons, who were sent back to g et thoir horses. This company,, willi” its gillant captain, behaved very hand somely at the attack on CLd. McIntosh’s camp; indeed itwas generally, admitted.that Gol. M.’s command was saved by the gallantry o f Capt. Dtuperri's party. Capt, Baiubridgo’s party continued tlieir inarch to Vera Cruz, whoro they arrived in safety. In themqantime, Capt. Dupern’* patty hav ing a long return,train to guard* and being threatened by a large body o f Janccrr, halted at.

Tho road for miles was strewn, with empty bbxos and bacon sides, which had been captured by the enemy. There wns a great deal of dissatisfaction in the army respecting the command which had charge of the lrairi. There will be a court of inqu jry on the subject. The garrison at Jalapa has been broken up by order of Geti. Scott, and all the sick and government stores have been sent to Perbte Castl'c,so tliat this line of communicalion is entirely closed. Gen. Scott has had a Toad opened from Perote to Tuspan, from which, int future, ail our stores and men will bo sent, in preference to the old road.

The Matamoros Flag of the 9th of June, give?, upon the authority of Capt, Benedict, of tho schooner Madonna, which had juut arrived at the1 Brazos, the foliowing account of the wreck of the brig Mobile, bound frbm New- York fpr Brazos Santiago, with 18(> troops of the 10th Regiment U.S. Infantry, under Capt, Andrews, of Buffalo, N.

During a strong breezo from the tvpuihward, ion tire night of the 23d nit., theabove named brig Was driven af bore on Orango Koyff, Flor ida coast,—her masts were cut away, and eve ry exertion made to ease her, but site soon bilged and settled down, tho soa making a complete breach oyer her. About’ forty o f the troops took to tiie boats and reached the Keys — tho boats- wero dashed to pieces, which cut off all further communicationbetween the ves sel and Keys, rendering tho condition of both parties extremely dangerous. Sticht was the situation of tho wreck on the morning of the 24lh, when the schooner Madonna, Capt. Ben edict, bound from Philadelphia to iho Brazos, wiih government stores, discovered it, and a„t tho risk of losing his own vessel, Capt. Bene- diet boro up to the rescue.
