CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. y, lS47.
We have rumors without number from Pue-
bla today. One is that Santa Anna has been
killed in an encounter with Col. Guilds in The Vi
ciniiy Of that city; another story would make US
believe that he has been taken prisoner, after de-
tending himself for some time al The paper mill
called La Constancia, in The ncighborhood OF Pue-
bla. The accounts say that Col. Chllds was re-
intorced BY Maj. Lally, and that he Immediately
entered The city, drove out The gueTTiIeroS and
surrounded the mill above named. What credit
10 place in these rumors | know NOT; bur II San
Ia Anna is really a prisoner, il has been intention

ever entered his head.
As a prisoner, Santa Anna knows perfectly
well that he can humbug MIR. Polk with ease,
and all his friends besides. We shall know the
whole truth of The matter in the course Of a day
or Two
II is said that The Mexican Congress is 10 as.
semb.e al Qneretaro on The 9Th of October-next
week-and that Pena Y Pcna has gone on, 10 be
installed AS the acting President. | have heard
hexicans say that the body has many members
who will deliberate manlully and seriously in Ia
vor Of peace; bat my opinion is, thai a majority
Of them will talk OF little save honor and bitches
and glory, and last exiTcmisics and ruins, and OF
being buried under them. and kindred nonsense.
Some OF Them NAV be b. ibed, OF hired, 10 cspouse
The peace side. We shall see.
Rejon, in his letters To Santa Anna, told him
that il he would continue he war, he would Pc
rish By his side; but they say, that, when the ar
mistic- was broken, he remained al Onere,aro,
and forgot all about fighting. Valiant man is
Manuel Cresceneis %liejon! but he has a prudent
way OF manifeslins il in the hour o! peril.

without followers, and has gene North, per-
haps towards Guadalsjara, his cd and favor
lie ground, 10 stir and influence The minds OF The
people against The Yankees, and Try his hand
againt them. He is, no doubt, one oil The bravest
and best generals Mexico has ever produced.
Gomez Farias is at Querelaro, but we DO not
hear what he is doing. Gen. Herrera is also
there, and il any leading man in Mexico is in
favor oi peace, he is the one. His Influence, how
ever, is confined almost entirely 10 the, n0d. radoS
Mr.. Wells, The partner Of Hart in the Army
theatre, died here 4 day or Two since. He may
be recollecled in the United States, mol only as a
pantominisl, bur as a dancer and actor Of some
distinction. CAPTAIN Pemberlon Waddell, OF one
Of The new regiments OF Infantry, is also dead.
The wound OF General Shields, although pain.
inl, is improving. A muskcl bail struck him in
The lett arm al the stoIming OF Chapul epsc, hui

with his men until every Thing was Gained. Ge-
neral Pillow has almost entirely recovered.
Since commencing this, | have heard another ru-
NOR 10 The effect, that Alvarez and The Congress
Of Puebla have risen upon Santa Anna and put
himio death. This can hardly he credited. Al
vareZ is, doubtless, in that direction. He took
especial good care 10 keep himself and his piutos
out Of harms way during the recent struggles in
This vicinity.
