DESIGNS OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO SEIZE PORTIONS OF MExiCo.-The New York Sun publishes letter from a cores pendent in London, the writer Of which says, instructions have been sent by the British Government to Mir. Baukhead, minister, and MT. Mcintosh, consul at the city of Mexico
 "These instructions, as have learned from the highest authority; direct the English minister to push his efforts al mediation, to urge treaty of peace, not to be over scru- pulous as to boundary lines, if the Americans ask territory, provided they retire north as far as the Rio Grande-and the moment the American army wilhdrsws beyond that line, to demand from Mexico the eighty millions due 10 England, principal and intrust, and if such demand IS not settled, as the English cabinet very we'll knows it cannot be with ready money or acceptable bonds, to seize all territory that has been left by the United States Corresponding with these instruc- ton, orders have been dispatched to the mail and war steamers and other armed British craft in and contiguous to the Cult, to pro- ceed at once before the Mexican ports, so that the moment we retire, the English demand can be enforced by a military occupation. The policy of the English cabinet IS lo drive us, by fair means or foul, from the coast and southern part of Mexico, in order to enjoy those portions themselves"
 The Sun, in giving this letter, says ihe writer enjoys position that entities him to credit, and affords him superior opportunity for knowing the secret movements of the English cabinet. How any newspaper cor res pendent can get al the secrets of the En- glish Cabinet, we cannot see. They do not usually let such secrets out

hIAPA, MEx., May l9, lSi7-Forenoon
 We have some further reports in relation 10 Gen. Worth's entrance into Puebla, al- though as yet there IS no official or positive information. A German who arrived from the city of Mexico last night, and who ap- pears to be an intelligent man. says that when the advance of Gen. Worth had reach- ca point few miles this side of Puebla, on the 10th inst, Santa Anna was in the city distributing shoes to his soldiers; that to de- lay the advance of the Americans he sent out party of skirmishes with. them; that this party was attacked by Gen. w., driven into the city with the loss of several killed and wounded. besides many horses, and ,bat so houy were they pressed, that Santa Anna was obliged to retire without having time to shoe all his men. Such is the report, aad il looks reasonable enough, of the German Gen. Worth entered the city at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, the 18th. As the gentleman left Pucbla abou, that time, he could not say yhethe, Santa Anna was pur- sued or not
