| no, and Monitor kepubllcano, we make the
following extracts:
We find in the Monitor, of the 10th, that
Gen. Valencia, (now commander-in-chief
OF the army,) was preparing, with force of
twelve regiments and battalions, (the num-
bcr of each is not stated, to march towards
Pucba. In noticing this Ell Monitor says
it has been informed that the men arc gene
rally willing and anxious to march immcdi-
atcly, but some of the brnrn officers, who
are always disposed to concoct Il pronuucia-
mcmto, were cssaying, by obstacles and in
trigucs, to defeat the enterprise. The Mo-
nitor Indignantly dcnounces these officers,
who: it says, pretend to be brave, but who,
when their services arc needed 10 protect
and defend their country, are the very last
to act honorably, or according to the duties
which the honor of the nation and their DO.
sition impose upon them.
Santa Anna (as before stately arrived at
the capital on tho evening of the 10Th, but
we cannot find in any of the papers before
! US an account Of the manner in which he
was received. On the 20ih his manifesto
| was published, ,and an the 2lst he took charge
OF the Presidency. According to the pa
pers, Santa Anna was recalled, that he
| might make the necessary arrangements to
| resist the invaders and the command OF the
army was III consequence conferred on
Gen Valencia
A meeting of the authorities and other
| influential citizens took place on the evening
of the 2lst, in order 10 adopt resolutions in
regard to the CAPITAL. 1t was finally con-
cluded that the city should be propcrly for
tilted, and that the necessary steps should
be taken for its vigorous defence, in case
the Americans should present themselves in
sight of the Capital. According to Ell Dia-
rio del Goberno, of the 18th, most of the
Spaniards who had become naturalized
Mexican and resided at the Capital, had
solicited through her Catholic Maiesty's
Minister, Scnor Bcrmudcz dc Castro, to be
again admitted as Spanish subjects, and as
such, to receive safe conducts and safeguards
that would shield them from the conse.
quences Of being considered beIligercnts.
The papcrs in the Capital publish all the
general orders issued by Gen Scott and his
divisions. El Monitor publishes General
Worths letter to the municipal authorities
of Pucbla, dated at Anozoquc, the l4,h of
May, in which he manitcsts his surprise at
not receiving an answer to his communca
ton Of the 18th, which, he adds. might have
been intercepted. We do not find the
communication alluded to-
ElDiaria del Gobicrno, of the 9TH of Nav.

result of the battle of Ccrro Gordo, assem-.

cans-these men to be supported and sup.

1t was likewise proposed that a certain num-
Der should remain to garrison the town but
it was impossible; according to the Diario
to persuade any of them to remain, as they
were all anxious to march against the inva-
ders! According ly it wds decided 10 adopt
kind of Fourierte system, by throwing
the property Of all into a common stock
and to appoint, out of the oldest men among
them. administrators, who would dispense
the necessaries of life to the women and
children, all the families living in the COM
mnnty, whilst every maa in the place, ca
pable of bearing arms, would march 10 op-
pose to the enemy. [slow vilant in their
resolves, how unequal to the execution of

The Government had ordered the
discohtinuancc OF the proceedings against
Gen. Arista, in order to employ him in the
defence of the Capital. General Arista, it
will be remembered, was accused of COW
ardicc at Rcsaca dc la Palma, and he was,
in consequence, deprived ofthc command of
his division.
A letter addressed to FL Republican,,
dated at Pucbla, OH the 18th, gives a full
account of the forces that entered that city,
and the order in which it was done-whch
we give here, as we have not seen it stated
elsewhere.
