The Biographies news from Vera Cruz
IS not so late as the Fanny's. but we have
received by her a letter from Mr.. Kendall not
without interest, though not so late as we
have published from him
JALAPA. Mexico May %, 1847.
There is nothing new of importance TO
communicate, although after my hurried
postscript 10 the letter wrote yesterday, ad
dninnal particulars in relation to Gen.
WORMS mOveme nts were received.
1t seems that the affair with Santa Annals
Tanccis took place at Amosoquc, a small
place about three leagues this sided of Pue-
he. The number of the enemy was various
ly estimated at from 500 10 1000.
The harged up within can non range with
great apparent resolution, so much so that
regular movement was made to receive
rhem: but the three first discharges of our
artillery sent them all scampering off as fast
as their animals could carry them, leaving
rel men and seven horses dead on the field.
What pity we have not cavalry folce
sufficient TO attach command TO each of
the division OF The army. Col. Harvey has
been compelled to remain her with the I'd
Dragons, up TO this lime, 10 give the horses
rest had he been at Amosoque, with only
so II ell a great many Of the 1000 Mexicans
would not have answered to their next roll
call.
The better class atjPuebIa appear to be
well enough disposed towards the Americans
although they perhaps do not altogether like
rile idea that Gorce Of 5000 men should en-
ter IA city of near 100000 souls, and without
resistance The lower orders-lhe ladrOnes
and leperos with which Puebla abounds-arc
evidently but ill-dsposed toward us. One oil
Gen. Worth's men has already been assassin
aied. bur fortunately. the mnIderers were
Immediately arrested.
On the Alcade's telling Gen. w. that &C.
cording to their laws, a year and half would
eapse before the case of the assassins could

The miscreanis are now where they will new

II is said that supplies Of all kinds can bt
readily obtained at Pueba. The Whea
crop has just ripened and is most abundant.
The news now is that the Mexicans hav,
abandoned the idea of fort(ying at the Rit
Frio, but intended constructing line o
works at FL Penol, a position about Mint
miles this side of the City of Mexico. Fer
hips they only intended this as a show of re
sstance, for the sake of saving their credit
again, they may hope to raise men enough
TO give regular battle TO the Americans
Phey can collect nothing, however, but al
uIdiciplined rabbe, and these our regulars
IL L. h..
have 10 contend with of this class the better
the quicker panic can be created among
them.
Santa Anna. after the dispersion of his
Cavalry. did not stop even al San Martin oil
Rio Frio, but kept on with all speed to the
City of Mexico. Our know ledge Of The
state OF affairs at the Capital, since Santa
Anne's arrival is limited but it was CURRENT,
reported at Puebla on Wednesday last tina
on the previous day the two parties-ih,
Tolkas and the Purus-were fighting Xix,
cats and dogs. Some new revolution ha
without doubt troken out but the leaders a
present are unknown.
There is much speculation in the army a
TO what is TO be the resut-as to what is Il
be the winding up Of this war with Mexico
] can see no other result than the sublugati
of the country eniirely-or at least in bring
ing it under The protection of the Unitet
States. As naIion Mexico is blotted on
Of the Iist-the candle of her independence j
burnt down TO the socket. IF left TO hersel
she would be in few mouths, from her ute
inability to govern herself, torn and devide'
BY her intestine cumm0tious.
No protection Whatever could be givel
either to life or property, there are no mel
in The country who could make auy headw a
against the tuIrent of abuse that would a
once creep into every department; there i
ru money or means with which 10 establish
