From the N. o. Plcayune, July 3.

She left the former port the I'd Of July, and the
latter ON the 4th.
By this arrival we have direct advices from Mex
leo to the morning Of the 10Th OF June, and from
Puebla 20 the 3Oth.
Gen Scotthad not then been able 10 leave Puebla
He was awaiting the reiniorcements under Gen
Cadwalader and Gen Pillow. who had not then ar
rived Some of the papers mention that Gen.
Cadwalader arrived at Puebla on the 3Oth. Let
tiers from Mr.. Kendall Of that date make no men

He was at Perote about the 10th. awaiting Gen.
Pillow
The news from the City of Mexico IS very in
definite Gen. Scott is said to have communicated
10 the Government that Mr.. Trist was with him.
and authorized to negotiate for peace. Santa
Anna had been in vain endeavorng 10 procure a
quorum OF Congress to lay Gen. SCOTS communi-
cation before it, Mr.. kendalis letters rather en-
courage the prospects Of an early peace but we
have had access 10 letters from very responsible
source in the City of Mexico which take a very
different view of the subject The writer thinks
Gen. Scott will have To march into Mexico 10 Sc
cure peace.

prevents us from knowing what measures TO de-
iend the City will be taken. Santa Anna was TO
leave the Capital on the goth ultimo, intending TO
pass three DAYS in Ire country for the benefit Of
his health 1t is SAID that every avenue Of en-
trance into the city is fortified but tbs writer in
Mexico, upon whom very much rely, thinks the
American Army will easily overcome all such OBJ
stsces shat the defence Of their Notifications will only
embsrrass the Mexicans
We are unable to throw much light upon the move
ments of Gen. Cadwsladcr and Gen Pillow. The latter
il said 10 have been compelled 10 contest the road with
the Guerrilla parties tn he was beyond CerrO GJrdO-
Gnyiros took advantage of every dehe 10 resist his
progress His loss is said to have been severe.
