PUEB1A, Mexico, June Ia, lS47.
For a wohder, yesterday we did not have
anything even in the shape Of rumor from the
city Of Mexico, not E6ald We learn anything
positive of the movements of the enemy in
this neighbOrhoOd. | saw a man, who arrived
from Atlixco in the morning, who said that
600 of the Indians Of Alvarez were expected
there immediately-this was the only report
received. Atlixco IL 10 or 20 miles from Pue-
bla, and not on the road 80 the capital.
send you files Of papers, both from Atlixco
and from Mexito--the latest dates from the
latter being to the 9TH June, I have found it
impossible to lay hands upon later papers, al-
though / have seen them. All the contents Of
any Importance | have given.
As yet no one knows when the army is to
make a forward movement, Gen. Scott GER
tainly will not march until endorsements ar
rive, which are now without question on the
way. A delay is certainly Of more Importance
to our army than to that of the Mexicans, fdi
even if the latter are enabled TO augment theiI
forces they will be beaten-thut is certain
and then there is strong probability that 50
Strengthened are the Mexicans for means thai
a delay Of a month will find them dispensing
over the country for the very means Of subsis-
tence, or else cut up by internal discords.
AS regards the prosp, Cts Of a peace, they
appear Just as distant as ever. A peace patch
ed up at the city of Mexico at this time woul|
t hardly last until the ink is dry with which !
Q may be signed; certainly not until the Ameri
e cans are out of the country. Without douh
there is a large and influential party in favor
it, but they dare net avow themselves for feI
of after consequences. l know not how
n may turn up, but as l said in former letter,
r do not at present see any other course than f
ut the United States to hold and retain p~ossessiC
i'd Of the country-aye, and to govern it, too.

Later from vera Cruz.

By the arrival of the steamship New Or
leans, on the 10th, the Evening Bulletin Of that
date learns verbally, that Gen. Pillow with a
train had been attacked by guerrillus a short
distance from Vera Cruz. He repulsed them,
killing thirty.
Gen. Cadwalluder had reached JaIapa, but
had only saved tUenty out Of two hundred wa
CONS, having been obliged to burn the others,
in consequence Of the mules being killed.
The Bulletin also learns, by a letter from an
officer at Vera Cruz, that Santa Anna had been
declared Dictator--that he was at the head Of
10000 meu-and that Gen. Scott was within
25 miles of the city.
If this news be true, we shall wait with pain
full interest for the next arrival, We know
that Gen. Taylor defeated Santa Anna, when
the latter boosted Of a force Of five to one; but
we have learned, too, with what difficulty VIC
tory was gained. In this case, the Mexican
General commands a force more than three
times as numerous as SCOTS, and there are no
Angostura positions in that part Of the coun-
try where the two armies must now meet, If
they meet at all. Should there be an engage
ment, which now seems probable, we have no
fears as to the result, only from the fact that
there must be much valuable life sacrificed in
gaining a victory under the circumstances JUS
mentioned -Vick,6ugg Whig.
