We select the following summary Of Mexican news
from the Pieaynno Of the l5ih.
In the city Of Mexico every udn@ is manifest5 in
a state Of confusion and almost unlicensed anarchy
General Bravo hes :gRedhot only his cpninnsl of
gehera-n-chief, but also his 'comlission gchefai
OF DIVISION. Gen. Rincon Is, said to have done The
samegtisiug.
It's true thstGen. Almonte is under arrest though
the causes Of his imprisonment are not arowed. He

orders at Cuenavaca. Whit Suspicious thing lie has
done or contemplated are not lnforned.
6 Genafa Valencia aad Gen. Salas were ordered TO
leave the city of Mexico on the 9th ut for the city
Of San Luis Potosi, 10 take command Of the army Of
tie north.
The accounts we find in the Mexican papers Of the
dsafecton of Zacatecas confirm those we published
few days since. The Official paper of the State
publishes every representation made against Santa
Anna and in favor of tho Amerieans-Gen Scots
manifesto among the latter The latter document is
also given in all the papers Of the capital
General Arisa has refused 10 reassnne his military
functions until his conduct should be Investigated by
military tribunal. ue demands that has trial may
take place at once in order that he may take part in
the defence Of the country.
The Legislature Of Durango voted for Senior D.
Francisco Elloriaga for President EllOrigia the
former Governor of the State. and it viii be recoec
ed, ran Santa Anna hard for the Provisional Pres-
dency in the last election BY Congress.
The State Of Tamnulipas has soted for General
Amonte for the Presidency, and Zacatecas for Senior
Jose Maria Iafragua.
The Legislature. of Oaiaca (Which has been de-
nounced by the revolutionary party in that Siaie)
voted for Gen. Herrera. The new Legislature voted
for Gen. Santa Anna for President.
If this last vote be allowed to Gen. Herrern, the
result of the election far will stand follows
q Gen Herrera votes, Angel Trias votes, Senior
OcampO vote, Senior Elloriaga | vote, Gen. Almonic
l vote, and Senior Lafragua vote. Give the vote of
Oajaca TO Santa Anna and you have the seventh
candidate for the uncnvable station of President OF
Mexico.
The news now is that the Mexicnns have abandon
ed the idea Of terrifying at the Rio Frio, but intend
constructing line Of works at Ell Pencil, position
about nine miles this side of the city of Mexico
Perhaps they only intend this show Of resistance
for the sake of saving their credits again, they may
hope to raise enough TO give regular battle 10
the Americans. They can collect nothing, however
but undiscplincd rabble and these our regulars
disperse like chaf. The more they have to con-
tend with Of this class the bcter-the quicker panic
can be created among them.
Gen. Scott's last proclamation has been generally
circulated at Pueba, and it is said with most excel
lent effect No less than three editions Of it had
been printed and still the inhabitants calling
for more. The demand for it alone shows that Its
effects have been sautary. The numberlcss horde Of
military drones, and all the employees and hangers
on Of the Government doubtless doing all they
can to put down IFS circulation and deaden its infu
upon the Masses but they cannot keep 1t out Of
the hands of the middle and better class of citizens
the laborous and thinking artisans, prevent them
from porusing and bordering upon It's contents.
1t seems that the affair with Santa Annals ancers
took place at Amosoque, small place about three
leagues this side Of Pueba. The number of the enc
my was variously estimated at from 800 TO 1000.
They charged up within range with great
apparent reSolutiOn much SO that regular move
ment made to receive them; but the first three
discharges of artillery set them NIL scampering
off fast their animals could carry them, leaving
ten men and seven horses dead upon the field.
GEN. MEIoN has published defence of his con-
let at the battle of Bucna Vista and the aspersons
Of Santa Anna TIE letter of Gen. NJ. occupies
nearly three columns of the Delta. We make the
following extract which is fair sample Of the lash
ing which the hero of Angostura receives at the
hands of tho commander of the Cavalry
The nation will know day what that which
called without shame the victory of Angostun; it will
know that it had brave soldiers worthy rival in aTdor
and enthusiasm the best Of whatever; that had
intrepid officers who led them CALAMITY to the cOmbat-but
that had General who knew how TO make Of these
those memorable fields true and splendid victory not
achieved, to blame but him who charged
with leading the forces because he did not know how do
It, According TO the order OF the attack, and with know
ledge Of the positions occupied by the enemy, speaking
accordance with the rules Of art ought to have been
defeated; not, because the valor Of troops
ovecame all the Disadvantages with which had to
ge The battle of AngosiuTa nothing but diseon-
nection Of sublime individual deeds, partial attacks Of the
several corps who entered the actions their chiefs led them
according to the divers positions taken by the enemy
eOnsequence the partial defeats which he suerei-but
there methodical direction general regulated
attack, plan which the efforts Of the troops according
TO their class, were combined that did could produce
victory. General Santa Anna believes that is reduced
TO the fighting Of the troops of and the other party,
wherever they meet aud however they choose; General
Santa Anna believes that battle than the shock
Of men, with much nOisc shouts and shots who
do the most, each in his way; General Santa Anna
cannot conceive how happens that victory be gained
enemy by wise and we'll calculated maneuvTes
Thus is that he has everywhere been routed and he
will be unless he should have the fortune with one
who same ideas with himself relation 10 war
