half of which were cavalry. In these en-
dearors he was repulsed with considerable
loss.
Soon afterwards he left the ARMY, about
four leagues below Puebla, with an escort
of several hundred men and proceeded To-
wards Jalapa. Before arriving at hat city
he parted with his escort, and attempted
10 make his escape to tho mountains on
foot, and u the disguise of friar.
On the 18Th Of January he was discop-
cred in baranca (ravine) near little In.

followed the direction oflheir barking and
found the Dictator, who offered them his
watch aad such money as he had about

the alarm and be was taken prisoner.
When he was captured he had taken of
his cork leg OIL account Of the inflammation

carried by his servants.
On the Goth of January he was put in
the prison at Perote, where he now is.
Col. Boardman met Parades Oh the road
between Mexico and Puebla, marching d,

Santa Anna battle; but The fortunes Of The
Despot became so desperate that he de-
serted the army and was captured before
Parades came up to him.
