Late city MEXICO.
We received on Monday evening" papers from the city
OF Mexico to the sth nst forwarded by MIR. Kendall
They are week later than any papers before received
The Mexcans seize mon the slightest pretext or ri
NOR Tor believing they have inflicted injury upon ouI
forces twas reported and believed at Puebla on the
9th INST, that the guerllas of New Leon and Coahua
had attacked and gained possession OF supply train,
the same time rounding GEN Taylor
Another rumor, credited both in Pueba and the city
OF Mexico, is, that Gen Scott i'll at Jaapa with dys-
EMERY and that for this reason and the want of troops
he would defer his advance upon Puebla. There is
foundation Tor the rumor OF his illness we are happy to
say.
TO arrive, had arrived to negotiate for peace and
offer new terms of accommodation Messrs Benton and
Veoch are named as the commissioners. I'VE cannot
imagine who Veoch may be, unless MIR Beach, OF the
In last we alluded to letter from Durango, dated
the goth OF April 1t is important and significant that
give IT entire.

the coming of the Yankees had spread amongst us they

Der killed by them being very considerable. They say,
also, that the New Mexicans encouraged by their triumph
coming to avenge the outrage upon chihuahua. God
grant it may be true!
The instruction here alluded TO is doubtless that
which has already been eiiectually quelled
Our readers will be interested to know what measures
have been taken in the capital to defend it, upon the APP
proach OF troops We cannot do this eiectuay
than by giving the whole of proclamation promulgated
