IL is now confidently asserted that San.
Ia Anna has moved from Orizaba, and in
the direction Of Puebla and the City OF
Mexico.
Last night an intelligent Spaniard in.
formed me that he had seen two letters
from Orizaba, one dated the 9th and the
other the 9Th inst. On the first day, the
letter stated that The first brigade or di,i.
sion Of Santa Annals army stared en- route
for Puebla, and on The 7th, the other III.
vision marched in the same direction.
His entire force was put down At $500,
The most Of them indiilercnily armed and
under little or no discipline.
The long wagon train is now coming
into The city from Vera Cruz. and has met
with no opposition on The way. There
are between three and four hundred va
