The American prisoners in Mexico have not {
obtained their release; on the contrary, the re- o
port is that they are in more strict confinement
than before. Ought not something speedily to
be done with the Mexican prisoners in our a
power to bring Santa Anna to his bearings on
this point? I
In one Of Mr.. Kendall's letters he says: sit
is thought that tho Indians from the South, I'M
der Alvarez, will strike terror into the hearts
Of los Yankecs,' inasmuch as they cast their
arrows with great accuracy, and when charged
upon throw themselves on their backs and
fight vigorously with their mdchetes or short
swords. 1t is fairly prosumable, if they un-
dertake this latter game, that but few OF those
who throw themselves upon their backs will
ever rise to their feet in this world"
We find the following paragraph attached
to the conclusion Of another Of Mr.. KS let
tiers:
have just learned that a delegate from each
State in the Republic has been appointed, all
to hold a meeting at some given point, for the
purpose of taking measures to establish a
peace with the United States. This ! give as
one Of the rumors aloat, but cannot ascertain
that it is entitled to the least credit or import
ance.
PUEBLA, Mexico, June IL, l647.
Full files of papers from the city Of Mexico,
up to the 9th i%nstantj inclusive, have just been
received here. l have only had time to skim
over their contents, and send you an abstract
of such intelligence as may be interesting
The Monitor Repubtcano Of the 9th instant
says that Alvarez, with his Indians, was to
t march OH that day for Puebla, and was to be
e followed up by the regular cavalry. The same
o paper intimates that the rest of tine army is also
Immediately TO take up the line OF march tor
Puebla, and the inference is that the enemy IN
Ie tends fighting the great battle in this neighbor'
If hood. In fact, the editor openly comes ou'
and says that by this course they will avoid
having the beautiful city of Mexico the scene
a, Of a grand battle. Every one here in Pueblo
il. hopes that The battle or a battle may be tough
Of in this neighborhood-the Mexicans will no
,e make another stand this side the capitol in tina
is case.
Santa Anna, according to EI Monitor Reput
IL Ecano, has fallen out with the following exten
a sive list of general officers: Bravo, RincOr
,.-LCanalizo, Arista, Minon, Urea, Garcia Condo
re Requena, Morales, Almonte and Ampudia.-

an say unfortunate-that it has ga few more lett
The editor says that all the above are either il
ey retirement or else in prison, and further give
ev it as his conviction that the country now ha
so great need Of their services.
lat The papers in the city of Mexico are pub
Ie. fishing the American correspondence whic
has been intercepted by the guerrillas betwee
n. Jalapa and Vera Cruz. So far, with the excel

by dated Both April, it is of little consequence
the enemy. | owe the editors or authorities
hot thousand thanks for giving to the light sever
nm. letters addressed to my humble self, else
should never have known their contents.
P. S. Since writing the above, | have seen
ria. letter from Col. Hunt, the quartermaster
.o,k New Orleans, and which has been intercept'
fora by the guerrillas, and published in EI Mont
and other papers. 1t was directed to CAPITA
,,ve Hetzel, and speaks of the great difficulty /
hro, Col. H., has in raising funds to meet the prt
sing demands of the army. The Mexic

The city is to-day full Of rumors and rePo

could be relied upon. The story is that
n the Mexican army is to advance upon and surro
the this place entirely. Even the names OF
IN is leaders, Vale ncia, Gubero, Lombardlni
f the Alvarez-are given. That Alvarez has sta
ieces with his command there can be little DO
and but the impression is that he has gone in

AL hood of Nopalucam or Acajete - win
y set hope that he may be enabled to cut of son
arm the wagon trains known to be on their wa.
