As our occupation was not fighting very willingly let every body alone who weais is, pass without interruption. ] Plefious to tny arrival had heard much of the beauty and attractions of this place. that pro pared to look for something more than had in any part Of Mexico My anicipa,ions have been more :han realized. Tbe appearance of the coun- try. it's productions, the people inc improvements far exceeded my expectations.
 The papers from the city of Mexico state that large cannon, supplies and money, have been sent to Santa Anna from that city and other places. IT this should prove true, we may find him in defen- sise position some where between here and the city. 1 A small detachment came down from Peroie to- day, and report all quiet in that vicinity and also that our troops are treated very well by the inhab tabts. Indeed the only trosble seems 10 be between this point and Vera crus i The general health of our army is very good, though very much fear many of the wounded at Cero Gonio will not recover. Gen. Shields wound Is loil,g very well. went to see him to-day. and found him much better han expected. His phy- sieans and friends aow confident of bis recoy- cry. The preservation of his life is, a great de- gree owing to the attention of Capt. Davis, of the Illinois troops, who, believe, never left him after he fell, and rendered hm such assistance as cir constance would adm2. Lieut.. Johnson, of the 9th Illinois. died yestsr<ay. from his wounds. and was buried to-day with military honors.
 The lst Pennsylvania in command of Col. Black are now at Perote, but ene-half of it will return This portion. with the ai Pennsylvania. and part of the ist Artillery, undr the command of Colonel Childs. will compose tle garrison Of this place. af ter the departure of Gen Scott.

Last night there was slight demon strait made towards t in the neighborhood Of Santa Anna's hacienda, 10 miles from here but the robbers could not summon courage enough 10 make ] the attack. ! Mr Trist who comes in the character of a beaT- CT of despatches from Washington. to Gen. Scott. arrived this morning. lave had an eye on him for several days. and unles. ara very much mis- taken, his mission is of moe importance, and, in short time, will attract attention than bearer of despatches generally de. If am right in my eopjectures, I am satisfied from his character as Consul at Cuba. and other important positions he has occupied in relation to country. his know- edge of the people and country, his diplomatic and official acts will be conducted with more ability and dignity than many of those who have preceded him [ in Mexico.

Howeyes, do not think the statement oyerrated. when we come to consider the facility aud ability of the Mexicans 10 bring to- ] gether army whenever they can find anything to feed them win.
