GEN. VALENcIA.-Gen. Valencia had
reported having arrived at San Luis Po-
tosi OH the 9th June. where he took inn
mediate command of the army. Gen.
Salas had also arrived there, and taken
charge Of his post.
GEN. BUsTANENTE.-Gen. Bustamente
was at Irapuato on the 5th, where he was
to begin immediately to raise forces from
the State of Guanauato. Ii was thought
that Gen. Alcota had issued an order by
which BustamenIe would be obliged TO
go as far as Sinaloa, in order to take COM
mand of the forces there, which, accord
ing to Ell Monitor, are none.
/ CANALIzo PARDoNED.-It seems, from
what we see in the Monitor, of the lth,
that Santa Anna and Canalizo had "made
friends" once more, and consequently,
the examination of the latter for his con-
duet at Cerro Gordo was dropped. Al
though it was reported that he had been
appointed Governor of the State of Vera
Cruz, he was to be employed in the de-
fence Of the capital.
I MORE GuERRLLAs.-El Estandarte de
los Chlnacates, published at San Luis
Potosi, says that large body of guerril-
las have sheen organized at Bocas, about
twelve leagues from San Luis, and they
were all we'll armed and equipped.
MEXICAN CoRREsPoNDENcE INTER
CEPTED.-Gen Alvarez sent an express
from Ameca, on the lllh, with corre-
spondence intercepted in the possession
OF u courier going from the capital to Pu-
ebla. The Government had called on
the different persons sending letters, in
order that they should be opened and read
TO show whether or not they contained
any information of which the Americans
could avail themselves.
GEN. ScoTT's MARCH TO THE CAPITAL.
Ell Repubicano of the llth has accounts
from PuebIa, in which it is stated that
the American forces would not move to-
wards the capital before six weeks, (from
the 10th June as they were awaiting re-
Inducements and heavy artillery from We
ra Cruz. Ell Monitor of the same date
/ publishes letter i'll which the writer
t-,s~-s~v. .I.-t H. I.-, t~ss :..s------I H. Al
whole forces will move towards the capt.
tai from the 18th to the goth, as
they had resolved and were determined TO
spend and celebrate the 4th of July at
the capital.
| ASSISTANCE SOLICITED FROM GEN.
SCOTIA letter received at the capital
on the 10Th, from Tlascala, says that the
inhabitants of that place had addressed
petition to Gen. Scott, asking protection
of him, as chief OF guerrillas, PortillO,
was constantly annoying them. The
Monitor says that it seems the Tlascalte-
COS wish to initiate their predecessors du-
ring the time when the Spaniards went to
conquer them.
ATTACK on GEN. SCOTIA correspon-
dent from Puebla writes on the 7th to a
friend in the capital that the American
forces are scarcely 6,000 men; and as
Gen. Scott could not leave that place for
some time, it would be good policy to
have the Mexican forces marched to Pu-
ebla and there attack the Americans, who
were not prepared for an effective de-
fence.
A letter from Tuspan, ofthe 3lst May,
saws that the inhabitants are so much
frightened there, that, as soon as they saw
vessel approaching the port, they pack
ed up their beds and ran TO the woods,
where thev remained until thew were as
sured that there was no danger IN the
town.
