PISA spanlsrd has just told me that Gen Worth
entered Pueba on Saturday last without opposition. Al
that time be says Santa Anna was encsmped Al san
Martin Iesmelucsn ten leagues on the other side.
There is a report that Gen Worth IS in hard pursuit
Of him beyond Pueblo snd hisk very likely such 10
the case santa Anna will hnd very little rect 70 toe
sole of bis If Gen. w gets in pursuit OF him We
must have definite intelligence before tomorrow Of at
that has occurred in the direction Of Pueola-
JA1ArA Mexico. MAy le-Forenoon.
We have some fartherreports m relstlonto ten
Worths entrance into Pueba although a. yet mere u no
Official or positive information. German VINO arrived
from the CITY Of Mexico last night and who appears 20
be an intelligent man, says that when the advance OIL
Gen Worth had reached point lev miles thls sos OF
Pueba on the 5th inst Santa Anna was In the city as
trbnng shoes 10 bis soldiers that 20 delay the advance
of the Americans be sent out party 10 skrmish with
them that this party was attacked ~ Zen w driven
into the city with the loss Of several killed snd wounded
beside many horses and ;hs molly were they pressed
that Santa Anna was obliged 10 retire without having
time shoe all his men such is the report ana looks
reasonable enough OF the German ten worm entered
the city at O'Clock ia the afternoon Of saturday The
18th Az the gentleman left Puebla about that time ne
could not say whether Santa Anna was pursued or not
Other accounts say that Santa Anna tell back IS Tar as
San Martin Tesmelucan, which he intended 10 toruiy
while others again will have that's grand stand Is 20 be
made IT or near Rio Fo. The former Is situated on
plain end there has given little or no strength
of position while AZ the latter there are several very
strong points one in particular which may be fortified.
II Santa Anna too, get up another excitement ~
the cspital-and be DO almost anything Win his
COMMUNICABLE can obtain immense assistance in the
way of throwing up works. Rio FRO II my memory
serves me right i. but ten twelve esgues this side OF
the City Of Mexico yet it IL ssd there is sTosd which
turns IL completely Be this may there are certain
ly indications thst the Mexicsns are determined upon
making another struggle, although Il must again result
ia their utter discontinue. After the successful storm
ing Of Cerro GordO by Col. Harvey, from which he
drove we'll fortified force Of more than double his own
number there nothing the American arms cannot do
Some tears are manifested that express from Gen
Worth has been cut of by the rsscsy Guerileros tie
moot certainly would have dispatched messenger I'M
less he had received direct orders 20 the contrary yet
no person has arrived The fret thing that the Guer
las know. lot OF them will be strung up one OF these
mornings
but the worst of those urcd at Cerro Gordo doing
well Speaking Of wounded men, will relate one lite
incident When Gen. shields brought ont from
the spot where he was wounded 10 place where seve
raj others had already been taken happened % be pre-
sent After the wound of the gallant General had been
dressed the hurts OF the others-perhsps there were
ftsa "a fn tYlIrr
them was one stout Illinois man, named Ford, the hail
of whose head at least appeared TO nave been carried
away by heavy cannon ball One OF the best surgeons,
Or Wright went up 20 the poor fellow when his time
come and TO my asionshment commenced clipping the
shattered portions OF his face Jaw and which still
hung him acrwsrd dressed the wound as well
circumstances would admit | say wound-it was
worse than wound and description OF il would be
horrible. The battle was now over, and every mo-
ment they bringing In some fresh victim OF the re-
suit Of the strife Il seemed 10 me that others
needed the services OF the good surgeon more than did
the unfortunate individual in quesu0n-his case was
certainly hopeless There were arms and legs 70 am
pnate balls 10 extract and the writings OF the wound
cd showed how much they needed the surgeons Offices
vet he continued with the Illinois man until he had
patched hs shattered head and bound II up as well As
he able. This on the 18th OF April
Two or three days since, when nearly month had
passed away met Dr. Wright here In the streets Of ia
lapa and asked how long the man in question lived II
was ever ssionished in my ie II was when he told me
that he still alive. and what was more that be was
well and hearty A portion OF his face bis Jaw
side and his gone but the will soon be strong
enough to shoulder his musket again and is said 10 be
more anxious than have another turn with the

We are still without farther positive news OF
Gen Worth and Il Is nov almost certain that MS dis
patches are cut OF Tie would hardly enter 90 rich and
povulous city 10 Puebla without sending official
account of IL TO ten scott-at least such i the i'm.
preston.
The Mexicsns here have news from the city OF MeXi-
co which we cannot get hold OF their own cOuners
doubtless running regularly. One OF them told me last
night that fifteen ostts0ns of the National Guard have
been thoroughly organized ~ the capital that iofihcs
tons already Ia process Of construction Al or near
Rio Emo that me bells have been run up into can
non and that the owners of an iron foundry ~ the
City OF Mexico Englishmen. have been compel.
