Later From WcxicO--eanta An
ma again Defeated!

Since the news was in type, which we
have given from Mexico in proceeding col
umns, we have later dates oil some interest,
and more authentic in regard to the posi-.
lion OF Santa Anna. The news is still OF
Mexican authority; but can be relied on so
far as they state that Santa Anna, after re-
treating from the capitol of his country, had
arrived al Puebla, attacked Col. Childs and
been defeated. This intelligence is receiv
ed by boat at N. Orleans bringing dates
from Vera Cruz, TO the 18th Of October
The grea, Mexican, with much p0liteneSS
and courtesy, announced TO Col. Chds. that
he had taken possession Of the city; and re.
ques,ed that the latter would evacuate it
Immediately, at the hazard Of being assault
ed by an army of 5000 men. Col. Childs
declined the honor of marching out with
military honoTs; and i, appears, carried his
attention TO defend himself into good effect.
After having made an Intellectual attack
on Col. Chds' positions, our account says
the hero "quitted Pueba for the pstensble
purpose OF intercepting Gen. Lanes train.
Gen. Rea remaied behind with his guerri!Ias
out, adds the correspondent OF the ArcO hrs,
everything be,okens hopeless RESULT
The Genio, Of the l4th, respecting this
movement Of Santa Anna, SAYS:
On the LIST OF the present month, Gen. Santa
Anna at the head of 1000 men, cavalry and in
fanlry, and with three pieces Of artillery, cal
lied out of Puebla, intending 10 attack the
American train which left Jalapa on the lst
inst, and reached Peroe on the 4th. Blu, be-
fore arriving at Tepeyahualco, the design Of
the Commandment chief Of the Mexican forces
| uboilu fr,,o tod all hiS 9th the
exception Of $50 hussars Of his personal guard,
having pronounced against him. As an excuse
for this proceeding, the officers and prya:es al
legged, that they we're firmly convinced that
their further continuance, a, the disposal and
under the orders OF the ex President, would
only be followed by their complete sacrifice
and that wiihal their country would not derive
the slightest benefit from il.
! They attributed the unfortunate events o
the war, and their want Of success in their bat
ties against the invaders, 10 his incapactv ans
uns.iillulness. Even some Of them loudly do
| Jared HIM to be traitor, AMI consequently
to be unworthy Of holding any command in The
| Mexican army.
The greater part Of these ,raaaaclions trans
pired at Nopalucan.
Santa Anna having got to TePeychualco viii
his 1870 hussars, he received an order from tn
Government at Queretary, directing HIM +
proceed thilher at once with all the tIoap
which we're at his orders. Blu, the Genera
did no, deem i, convenient 10 comply with III
mandate Of his Government, and took up hi
line Of march for Oaxaca. whittier, by the 10
test accounts, he was vending his way.
All the letters from the interior coincide il
saying, that Gen. Santa Anna, conscious Of hi
imnoency to effect any thing more either i
the carrying on Of the war, or Of adjusting III
lerms OF peace, is making his way toward
Guatemala, for the purpose Of leaving the Re
public Of Mexico forever, and that his marc
&c Oaxaco, is only n pre!ext to the quie. a
! compishmea, OF his designs"
