We are indebted to the friendly atten-
ton which has forwarded to US, on the
Louisville, New Orleans Bulletin of
the evening of the 9Th, one day later. It
was brought to Cairo by the peytona.
We find the following interesting items:
The New Orleans vas detained at
Vera Cruz. says the Bulletin. for the ar
rival of the British courier from the capt.
tai, in order to ascertain the truth of the
report that had been circulated by the
Nlexicans, that Gen. Worth had beea
driven out of Pubela, with the loss of700
men, the courier brought a full contra.
diction of the report, and stated that Gen.
W., was tranquil and nnmolested.
Gen. Scott had not reached Puebla,
but was between that place and Perote.
We learn with great pleasure that Ma
lor Gaines, Borland, Cassius Clay, Mid
hipman Rogers, and all the other Amer
lean prisoners had been released, and
were at liberty in the city.
Santa Anna had gone to the capital,
and had resigned all his military com.
mand. The enemy were actively engaged
IN terrifying the Rio FRO pass.
We saw letter by the last arrival
from an officer in Gen SCOTS army, and,
whose situation was highly favorable for
obtaining correct information, which said
peace would shortly be made.
We regret extremely to learn that
sickness prevailed to a great extent at
Vera Cruz. There were 40 deaths the
day of the departure ofthe New Orleans,
and 1900 to 1900 were in the hospital;
these, however, included the wounded
and others-those that had been sent
from Cerro Gordo.
The news. on the whole, we think, is
favorable as regards peace, or al least q
disposition on the part of the enemy to
make it, if the terms should be admissi-
| BILE.
The above summary from the Bulleiin
of The evening of the eth, would seem to
speak positively, but the following extracts
from the morning papers. built on accounts
received by the same vessels, would argue
the usual Mexican uncertainty:
VERA CRUZ. May 29th, 1847.
We yesterday received intelligence. of
the brutal murder of Col. Sewers, bearer
of dispatches from our Government to
Gen Scott, who left here week ago for
| Jaiapa, with small escort.
The author ofthis, and similar outrages
on the road, is believed to be fellon
as Father of Pdare Jarauta, a spanish
guerilla and refugee, who served under
Don Carlos in his native country, during
the civil wars of a few years back. He
is said 10 have control of force mum.
bering hundred and fifty or a hundred
and eighty men, we'll armed and most OF
them well mounted. He pays but little
respect to any rights of person or nation,
and robs Mexicans and Americans alike.
The letter, however, he slways kills when
his party is large in sufficient dispropor-
ton, to render his murders safe ones.
! 8P. MI have just seen Senior Por-
tilla who has arrived safely after all the
perils ofhis journey. he gives dread
full account of Padre Jarauta, and the
treatment received by himself and friends
at his hands. He says Jaraula has full

! Heard nothing farther with regard &c
Colonel Sewers and his little party. There
is but little doubt as to their fate.
