The PREsrDENcY.-The Legislature
Of Aguascaliente had given its votes TO
Gen. Almonte. A letter from Oajaca
says that Santa Anna was unanimously
nominated President by the Legisla-
ture of that State.
General Baneneli died on the even
ing of the lith.
GEN. VALENcIA.-Gen. Valencia had
reported having arrived at San Luis
Potosi on the 5th June, where he took
immediate command Of the army
Gen Salas had also arrived there, and
taken charge Of his post.
GENERAL Decentralization. Busta-
mente was at lrapuato on the 5lh,
where he was to begin Immediately to
raise forces from the State Of Guiana
juato. 1t was thought that Gen. Al
corta had issued an order by which
Bustamente would be obliged to go as
far as Sinaloa, in order to take com.
mand of the forces there which, &C.
cording 10 Ell Monitor, are one
CANALlzo PARDoNED.-It seems, from
what we see in the Monitor of the 18th,
that Santa Anna and Carnalizo had a.
gain 'made friends" and consequently
the examination of the latter for his
conduct at Cerro Gordo was dropped.
Although it was reported that he had
been appointed Governor of the State
Of Vera Cruz, he was TO be employed
in the defence of the Capital.
MORE GUERlLLAs.--E Estandarte de
los Chnacates, published at San Luis
Potosi, says that a large body Of gueril-
las has just been organized at Bocas,
about twelve leagues from San Luis,
and that they were all armed and e.
quipped.
MEXICAN CONSEQUENCES lNTERcEP
ted..-Gen. Alvarez sem an express from
Ameca, on the 18th, with correspon-
dence intercepted in the possession Of
a courier going from the Capital to
Puebla. The Government had called
on the different persons sending letters,
IN order that they should be opened and
read, to show whether or not they con
tanned any information of which the
Americans could avail themselves.
A letter addressed to Ell Monitor,
from Puebla, says that Gen. Worth,
who began by kissing his hands to all
the young ladies at Puebla, has concln-
ded by breaking the doors Of Senior
Haro's house, lodging himself in it,
Whatever truth there may be in the
former part of this statement, the latter
part we believe to be a lie.
GEN. ScoTr's MARCH TO THE Cart
rAL.-El Republican, Of the lllh, has
accounts from Puebla, in which it is
stated that the American forces would
not move towards the Capital before
six weeks, (from the 10th June.) as they
were awaiting reinforcements and hea.
Wy artillery from Vera Cruz. Ell Mon
itor of the same date, publishes a letter
in which the writer states that he has
been informed that the whole forces
will move towards the Capital, in all
from the 18th to the Goth, as they had
resolved and were determined to spend
and celebrate the 4th of July at the
Capital.
MOVEMENTS OF AMERICAN TRooPs.-
A letter from Fuebla, addressed to Ell
Monitor. states that Gen. Worth went
as far as Cholula with 200 men, and had
returned alone with his staff, without
being troubled by any Of the guerillas.
ASSISTANCE SOLICITED FROM GENERAL
ScoTr.-A letter received at the Capt.
tai on the 10th, from Tlaxcala, says
that the inhabitants of that place had
addressed a petition to Gen. Scott,
asking protection of him, as a chief o!
guerillas, Portillo, was constantly an
moving them. The Monitor says that
it seems the Tlaxcaltecos wish to imi.
tate their predecessors during the time
when the S%paniards went to conquer
them.
ATTACK ON GEN. Scorr.-A cores
pendent from Puebla, writes on the 9TH
to a friend in the Capital, that the A.
merican forces are scarcely 5000 men,
and as Gen. Scott could not leave that
place for some time, it would be good
policy to have the Mexican forces
marched to Puebla, and there attack the
Americans, who were not prepared for
an effective defence.
A letter from Tuxpan, of 3lst May,
a v that the inhabitants are so much
frightened there, that as soon as they
saw a vessel approaching the port, they
packed up their beds and ran to the
woods, where they remained until they
were assured that there was no danger
in the town.
