This, we are assured, is q true reflex
of the feelings of the better order of
Me1icans ia regard to this unfortunate
appointment.
The whereabouts of Santa Anna is
somewhat preblematical. The last au-
thsntic intelligence located him at Oriza-
ba with a miscellaneous command OF 81
900. Subsequent rumors report him az
having gone South to recruit his ranks. N
Oaiaca. II is certain be has not shown
himself at the capital since his defeat.
There IL a report that he desires to leave
the country; but Mr.. Kendall thinks he
may make dash upon detached parties
in the Tear ofthe army, or upon wagon
trains, with view to reiRstating himself
in the good opinion Of the ration.

on the arrival of the wagon train that was
to start from Vera Cruz, about the 9th inst.

1t will be gratifying to all to learn that
General Shields was though to be in q
fair way to recover. We have always
regarded him as about the best appoint

From the Rio GraRde, there is nothing
now by this arrival. Lieut.. Col. May
left the army on the Plat nit. Gen. Taylor
was then at Monterey, but the main body
of his army was at Buena Vista. a letter
from an officer in command, states that
his whole force at and near headquarters
did no; exceed four thousand men. There
was no prospect of any Immediate ed-
vance on San Luis.
r.. We understand, says the Vera Cruz
Eagle, that large portion Of the volin-
teers at Jalapa were to. leave that place
on Monday, the Sd inst, designing to
march forward. Generals Scott, Patler-
son, Twiggs and Quitman were still at
Jalapa when last heard from, but we pre-
sumo Gem Quitman will be in command
ofthe first section which leaves tina. place.
They were all we'll. ~

Gen. Scott, according to last accounts,
received by the Mohawk, last night, had
determined to push on to the city OF Mex

supplies. He left Jalapa with but 5000
men; of these 5000 are volunteers, whose
term, will expire about the time he reach
