LATER FROM THE SEAT OF WAR
ARRIVAL OF THE GALVESTON.


By The arrival here, al late hou. last night,
of The steamship Galveston, Captain Havilani,
which lett Vera Cruz on the Sd inst, We have re-
ceiyed rsays the N. o. Commercial Times OF
The 9Th insl, lour days lalef intelligence from
The army in Mexico. We take the following
from The Genius Of Liberty Of The Sd inst:
According 10 The accounts current in The city
Of Puebla, prior 10 The departure Of our informant
Santa Anna, accompanied By about 200 men and
100 officers, had gone 10 Tehuacan. Upon their
arrival there, The entire lo.ce mutnied, and cla-
moIously demanded from Santa Anna their ar
rearases oil pay. To very limited extent The
claims OF The officers were complied with, butlhe
poor privates received scarcely any thing. After
this The force kept dispensing till only forty men
and few officers remained. The lady oil Santa
Anna had lett tor Orzaba; our ine mant says
that she had with her considerable sized box,
in which be had positive Information ha the iTea-
sure OF Santa Anna was contained. II was
borne along on tie shoulders OF four attendants.
His carriage. very splendid affair OF lis kind,
The manufacture Of Selkirk and Parks, Of MsIi-
CO, was bought BY Mexican gentleman Of Pueb-
la. IL originally cost $4,000, but was sold for 5Oo.
The reason assigned Tor Santa Annas disposins
ol his carriage was, tia, The people might there
by be induced 10 believe tha. he was entirely des-
lilule OF recuniary resources. Our informant
says That as he was leaving Orzaba, Santa An
ma and his escort were bu, lew leagues from the
town.
We stated in former paper that Cap. Walk
er was killed by The lance of Mexican Chief
From what We heard yesterday, such appears not
10 have been Tie mode 10y which this gallant
A merican was slain. In one OF The streets Of
Huaman,la, he was struck almost al the same
time by two balls, one hl him in The forehead,
and The other pierced his breast. AS nc tell he
exclaimed, "Boys, forward, and don't finch a
foot know Pm dying, but don't give way"
Upun The arrival OF General Lane all excuses
on the part of The guerrillas ceased, and Rea
speedily relreaied, whether 10 Paroles al Tuian-
cingo, or The Government al Qucretaro, ii is IN
certain.
The General is said 10 be acting with the great
EST energy and prompness in REFRESHING all out
RACES committed by either party. He has estab-
lished an efficient city police, and proclaimed
martial law in The slricest sense OF The word
Altogether he is represented as being highly po-
pular among the PucblaDos. Col. Chids was
about 10 proceed 10 The capital; be was 10 be sue
,eedcd in tie COL mand OF Puebla by Gen. Lane.
During The entire siege of The American force by
Santa Anna, RIA, Alvarez, and their joint COM
nancs oil 5000 men, The American ou'pos;s of
San Jose we're never driven in. Since The death
If Capt. Walker, the company which be so well
has been merged in The other corps.
Capt. Hearn, OF the Pennsylvania regiment,
having issued irom San jose al the head OF a
mall party 10 attack some position in The city,
ras suddenly assaulted By band 0! Lanceros,
vho spesTed hfleen ofhis men,
