Our advices from New Orleans are to the 9th
inst. We copy from the Commercial Times of that
city
By the arrival here last evening, Of the steam
ship New Orleans Capt Wright, which left Vera
Cruz on the Goth ult. we have received mass Of
letters and papers from our friends and correspond
ents in that city.
Gen. Scott was vigorously pressing the enemy,
aiording the defeated Mexicans no respite. Jalapa
and Perote have been occupied, and the report was
current when the New. Orleans set sail that Gen.
Scott was on the point of making demonstration
on Puebla itself
Santa Anna, when last heard FROM was in so
forlorn a condition that it was expected he would
give himself up to the American Governor Of Vera
Cruz prefering TO trust himself to the generosity
of an open foe TO exposing himself to the tender
mercies of his own countrymen who now de-
nounce him as their betrayer.
The Mexican Army after heavy losses of killed
and wounded, among which last Gen. Ciriaco Vas
quez and other chiefs and officers of less note, who
fell on the field of battle has broken up altogether,
not an officer or soldier remaining with their stan
dard.
Gen. Santa Anna, who commanded in chief was
the first according to some and the last according
to others to leave the field accompanied by only %
Dragons, taking the by.ways, and party is even
found to assert that they saw him in one oil the vii
lagos Of the Sierra in search Of horses to Eemount
his escort
The fact of this General not having fallen back
on Jalapa has left room for the suppostion that his
fight is prompted by the fear of being sacrificed
for treason imputed to him. and which has no other
foundation than the adverse results experienced by
the Mexican arms in every encounter with the
Americans.
Gen Canalizo, in his retreat on Puebla, disman-
tied the Fort of Perote carrying off all the ord
nance he could and spiking such as he had TO leave
behind He set at liberty all the criminals con,
fined there, including the assassins OF Falconi and
his brother in law, who, of our readers will
remember have been cru ely murdered in this city
In consequence of this, the American troops ad-
vanced in triumph from Cerro Gordo to Jaapa,
where the corporation and civil authorities went to
me It them, and took possession of the city, where
they behaved themselves in the same quiet and or
derby manner as In Vera Cruz.
