From the NeD Orleans Rlcayune


The steamship Fashion, Capt. Ivy, arrived
this morning in four and half days from Vera
Cruz. By this arrival we have letters from
Mr.. Kendall to the 18th inst. Owing to the
lateness Of hour we are not able to give even
synopsis of their contents. We infer that
the return Of SO many of the twelve months
| men has seriously interfered with Gen. Scott's
plans, as we expected would be the case. We
notice the return of Maj. Gen. Patterson in
the Fashion, and learn that several regiments
of volunteers were at Vera Cruz on their way
home. Many of them had embarked before
the Fashion left.
| Gen. Worth was expected to enter Puebla
on the Eth inst. M resistance was an,iciPa'
ted at that place. There was some expecta.
ton thatthe army would march upon the cap
SEES sustained in the army by the return of vol
unteers, and the necessary attachments to
guard the cities of Jalapa, Perote, and Puebla,
would leave Gen. Scott force amounting to
scarce six thousand to advance upon the city
of Mexico.
Santa Annals whereabouts was yet yelled
in mystery. The camp was full of rumors, as
is always the case, of the purpose of the Mex
leans and movements of political and military
parties. These we will scan more closely at
our leisure.
The guerrillas do not give our troops as
much trouble as was anticipated. They are
probably doing their Office of robbery and mas
sacre upon the Mexicans themselves.
The Fashion brings over many of the tro-
plies of Cerro Gorda and Vera Cruz such as
cannon, stands of arms, standards, &c.
We notice with sincere pleasure that Gen.
Shields is improving apace and that his recov-
cry is almost certain.
We subjon letter from Mr.. Kendall of the
latest date:
Editorial Correspondence Of The Rieayme.
LLAPA, Mexico, May II, l847.
Intelligent Spaniards here, men who have
ample means of information, tell me that mat
tiers at the city of Mexico are daily getting
wore and wose-all is anarchy and confusion n.
1t cannot we'll be otherwise. Confidence is
all gone, money is all gone, hope has vanished
and in their place poverty and despair reign
supreme. The only chance left of opposing
the Americans is to raise frenzy or enthusiasm
call it which you will-similar to that plan
ted in the early revoluuonsts by Hidalgo, and
it is to be doubted whether there is even virtue
enough left in the country to bring abont such
a contamination. At the celebrated battle of
Las Cruces, fought near the CITY Of Mexico,
il may be recoliected that Morelos and Hidal-
go had an immense rabble to contend against
a few roy aliss under Truxillo, and that such
was the frenzy of the former that in many in
stances, during the hottest of the fight they
ran up and stuffed their hats into the mouths Of
The Spanish cannon. They cannot get up such
, feeling now.
Gen. Worth will probably enter the rich and
poPulous city Of Puebla on Friday next, Gen.
Quitman accompanying him. No one antici-
pates opposition, but on the contrary it is said
that the larger and better portion of the inhab-
tants are growing more and more anxious Tor
he entrance of the Americans for the protec-
lion they will afford them against the hordes
IF ladrones and leperos which have always in
Tested that city. We hear nothing OF the
yueTriIlas of late-they are probably combining
themselves to robbing their own counrymen.
! The reports in relation to Santa Anna are
siil contradictory, but all agree that he is at OF
near Orizaba. lie has certainly threatened an
,ttack upon Vera Cruz, and also upon tins
-. - H.. ~. tbosa u-ho think iudOino
ftom his threats and actions, that he has be-
come mad since bis recent reverses. The pro-
liability is, that he keeps his force about him
