The Valley of Mexico with an army only a lis'ie

Ibsse zen Thousand achieved The Mexican
accounts Representing. that we were al any lime
seriou.Iy repulsed are not true. Inc Mexican

We have very beautiful maps illustrating both
the erea, battle felds-oi The Sh and the 18th

practicable.
General Bravo was not killed, but was taken
prisoner. We do not see that Santa Anna was
wounded. II is true that he has resigned The Pre-
sidency. We have the &C, before US, but have
no room Tor il to-day. Since his resignation, he
has made an address TO his countrymen, winch
we will give tomorrow.
We annex here General SCOTS orders alter his
victorious occupation OF The city, by which il will
be seen that General Quitman, who sloriously
distinguished himself on The 18Th, is Governor oil
the city.
