CRY OF Mexico, Sept. %, 1s47
Assassinations continue. No less than ten
murdered soldiers were found this morning in
the vicinity of the quarter of San PebIo, and
eight on the previous day. The fault lies
partially with our own men, who straggle
from their quarters and get intoxicated at the
first pMqueria or grog shop; yet the fact that o
even IN this state they are set upon by gangs
OF armed rutfians shows that feeling OF re.
venge and deep hatred obtains against US and
the frequency of the murders would prove that
a regular system of assassination has been or.
gained, the wire workers very likely some Of

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. %, 1847.
We have rumors without number from Pue.
bla to-day. One is that Santa Anna has been
killed in an encounter with Col. Childish the
vicinity of that city; another story would
make US believe that he has been taken prison.
er, after defending himself for some time at
the paper mill called La Constancia, in the
neighborhood of Puebla- The accounts say
that Col. Childs was reinforced by Mai. Lally,
and that he Immediately entered The city, drove
out the guerrilleros and surrounded the mill a.
bove named. What credit to place in these
rumorsd know not but if Santa Anna is re.
ally prisoner, it has been intentional-he
has given himself up If he has been killed.
it has been what the Mexicans would term
one casualidad, sheer accident, for no such
intention ever entered his head.
AS a prisoner, Santa Anna knows perfectly
we'll that he can humbug MIR: Polk with ease
,nA oil fr;o L., - Ill
the whole truth of the matter in the course Of
a day or two.
Il is said that the Mexican Congress is TO
assemble at Queretaro. on the 5th OF October
next week-and that Pena Pena has gone
out to be installed as the acting President
have heard Mexicans say that the body has
many members who will deliberate maniuly
and seriously in favor OF peace; but my oPln'
ion Is, that majority of them will talk Of h.
tie save honor and bitches and glory, an last
extremities and ruins. and of being buried IN.
der them, and kindred nonsense. Some 0!
them may be brbed, or hired, to espouse the
peace side. We shall see.
Rejon, in his letters to Santa Anna, told
him that if he would continue the war; he
would perish by his side but they say, that
when the armistice was broken, he remained
at Queretaro and forgot all about fighting
Valiant man is Manuel Cresceneis Rejon but
he has prudent way of manifesting it in ting
hour of Peril.
Paroles was here in the city few days
since, without followers, and has gone North
perhaps to Guadalavara, his old and favoTIt'
ground, to stir and influence the minds OF the
people against the Yankees, and try his hand
against them. He is, no doubt one OF the
bravest and best generals Mexico has ever
produced.
Gomez Farias is at Queretaro, but we do
not hear what he doing Gen. Herrera
also there, and if the leading man in MeucO
is in favor of peace, he is the one. His lnTa'
ence, however, is confined almost entirely 10
