 At Puebia. Col. Chiids remained entrenched, gal lantiy holding out against the MsxicaRs. The AreO Iris of the 5sh. states that the mountain heights where Col ChiIds had forfeited himself. were to- tally surrounded by hostile Mexieans, who were high in expectation that famine would force him 10 surrender.

 Thepeopie of Oaxacs are generally satisfied with the rejection of the propositions made by MT. Trs.
 The following is an extract from a manifesto or exhortatOn directed to the inhabitants of that State by an assembly of citizens:
 sIf the capital unfortunately should fall, this event, although deplorabe one, should not arrest the progress of war, the crownlng triumph of the invader. Nothing should induce us to relax tho vigorous prosecution of the war, until the enemy ks undeceived in hts estimate of the manner in which tho Mexican Nation knows how to appre- her religion. her independence, her honor, and her political existence"
 The El Csmio ds Ia Lib<ytad. of the sth ult, says
 "By lettersi received here from the interior, we learn that the body of 40O0 men which was quar- tered st Jalapa, has tsken up its line of march to jcin the American army, leaving entirely unguar- ded that city. letter dated at Jslapa, from per whose judgment be relied on, states that it Is presumed that this division of 4000 is to ope rate against Puebla, and that it will not march to the capital until the disturbances of that place are removed by tho occupstion.''
