The numerous friends of this gentleman will be pleased to learn, from the letter we give below, that he has accompanied Gen. Scott in his advance to the capital, with his command of "Riaes," and that the report of his i'll health is not confirmed. We are in- debted to Lieut.. 4. NJ.

The account of the battle Of Sierra Condo, which be has given us, loses much of it's interest, from our inability to furnish a copy of the we'll drawn diagram with which
 he has furnished US, of the situation of tl,e several Mexican batteries, the heights occu- pied by our ordnance and the different posi- tions taken by ihe American troops during

VERA Csuz. Mexico,

GeRilemen--I wrote you line this morning sen- ding you an extract ef letter from a mercantile house at Paeba to one in this city, but have just seen another letter fro partner Of the same house in this city, who went aloag with Gen. Worth. and from him send you the following extract:

 From this extract tt is evident that exprcas or bearer of despatehss from Gen. Worth to Geberal Scott has been cut of between Puebta and jalapa --at least it had not reached Iaiapa yesterday.
 1 have also been favored with the per1sal of ses eral letters from commercial houses in Puebia. but they contain little of interest.
 One of these letters, from Mexican commercial house, says that they have been very much sar- prised at the contrast between the representations of the American snidiers character previous to their entry into Puebia and their true character Aisao' they hsd anticipated outrages fFem their hands, yet not single one bad been committed, although Gen. Worth had been there since the 18th. IL goes on to state that the inhabitants had formed favor able opinion of the Americans, and they are eonh- deas that if Gen.
