The enemy was varously estimated al iioni ,ooo

with great apparent resolution, so mucn SO 'lids d

horses dead on The field :,
The better classes at Puebla appear well
enough disposed towards The Americans, alno
they perhaps do not altogether like The idea mat
force of 5000 men should enter city Of near lOoi

towards US. One OF Gen. WORMS men has al
ready been assassina,cd, but fortunately Inc muir
derefs were Immediately arrested. On the al
cade's telling Gen. W. that according TO their
laws. a ucar and a half would elapsc before the
case of the assassins could be settled in the courts
OF Pueba he was informed that an American
tribunal would render them full justice in day
and a hair The miscrcans arc now where They
never will commit ano.hermurder.
II is said that supplies Of allkinds can be readi-
ly obtained at Puebla, The wheat crop has just
Iipened and is mos, abundant.
The news now is that the Mexicans have
abandoned the idea OF certifying at the Rio Frio,
but intend constructing line Of works al FL Pc
MOL position about nine miles this side oil the
city Of Mexico. Perhaps they only intend this
as a show OF resistance, for The sake OF saving
their credit; again, they may hope 10 raise men
enough 10 give regular battle 10 The Americans.
They can colec, nothing, however. but an I'M
disciplined rabble, and these our regulars can

Santa Anna, after The dispersion Of his caval-
ry, did not stop even al San Martin or Rio Frio,
but KEEP! on with all speed 10 The city OF Mexico.
Our know ledge Of the state OF affairs al the CAPT
tai, since Santa Annals arrival, is limited, bu; Il
was currently reported al Puebla on Wednesday
last, that on the previous day the Two parties
the P0iias ana the Pn,cs were fighting like Gals
and dogs. Some new revolution has wihou
doubt broken out, but the leaders are al presen
unknown.
Gen. SCOTS last proclamation has been general
ly circulated al Puebla, and il is said with mos
excellent effect No less than three editions OF j
had been printed, aud still the inhabitants were
calling Tor more. The demand Tor ii alone would
show tina, lis effects have been salu,ary. The
numbere>s horde of military drones, and all The
employees and hangers-on OF the Government
are doubtless doing all they can 10 put down lis
circulation and deaden its influence upon The
masses; but they cannot keep il ont Of the hands
Of The middle and better class Of citizens, the la
borous and thinking ariizans, nor prevent them
from perusng and pondering upon It's contents.
In letter sent you yesterday BY Inc ciisen-
cia believe that stated that Gen. Valencia was
coming out with $4,000 men 10 meet the Ameri
cans. The report is, that OF this number 1000

that after they come TO manhood their faces, from
some cause Or other which have not heard ex-
planned become spo.!ed-yellow and red. They
are al little account as soldiers, and il is probable
that Valencia's men, if he has the number given
him BY rumor, are nothing but raw recruits. Ii
they Stop to be fired al once they will rot 90 l.

There is much speculation in the army as TO

winding up OF Ibis war with Mexico. can sec

~; there are no men in the country who could
make Roadway against the torrent OF abuses that
would al once creep into every department.; there
is no money or means with which 10 establish a
new and stable government. What then is she

These remarks have been hastily thrown To-
gelher, bur they may possibly be as good as any
specula,ions that can be offered. lie who thinks
that lasting and beneficial peace can be made
with Mexico, or believes that the American troops
are soon 10 lie withdrawn, is some one who has

FROM THE ARMY OF GEN. TAYLOR.
From the Brazos, by the arrival OF the Tce-
graph, our news is later.
From The Flag OF The 7ih inst, we learn that
Col. Doniphan, with portion OF his command,
passed down the Rio Giande on The 9Th inst. The
Flag thus speaks OF them:
The unshorn boards aud goat and deer skin
clothes OF many Of them reminded us OF descrip-
lions We have read OF the inhabitants Of some oil
the countries oil the Russian empire. They stop
ped in town couple OF hours. Col. Doniphan
is stout, rough-iea,ured, good-nalured-looking
sort OF man. He broush, along with him Clarks
battery and ten pieces OF cannon captured al Sa-
cramen,o. The sick, &c, forty or fifty wagons,
with several hundred mules, were turned over 10
the quartermasler.
A private belonging 10 this command, fell of
the steamboat on the 9th inst, and was drowned.
