Affairs in the city of Mexico are in a quiet

tant items we can gather from the Vera Cruz
papers.
From four French gentlemen who left the
city Of Mexico on lhe 18th, and Puebla on the
10Th Of the present month, We have received
Intelligence Of a very important nature, con-
corning the state Of affairs in those quarters.
General Lane having arrived at Perote, was
there Joined by Captain Walker and his COM
mand. Both advanced together on the Puebla
road, till they reached the town Of Vreyes. At
this place, Captain Walker, by order Of the
Commanding General, took up his line ofmarch

sued in the streets, between his force Of $50
men, and that Of the Mexicans numbering six.
teen hundred. The results of which was the
total expulsion Of the enemy ftom the town,
and its occupation by our valiant little army,
which lost in the battle only six men. But the
gallant Walker after performing prodigies of
valor, and feats of the most daring character,
fell in single combat, pierced by the spear Of an
enraged father,whO goaded to actual frenzy, by
the death Of his son, whose fall beneath the arm
Of Capt. Walker he had just witnessed, rushed
forward, needless of all danger, to revenge his
death, and attacking the Captain with almost
irresistible violence, plunged'his spear into his
body and slew him almost instantly.
The Mexicans lost two hundred men and
three pieces of artillery, the latter were thrown
into a gully adjoining the town by the %victors,
who after the achievement of their object, (the
dispersion of the enemy for which they were
despatched to Huamantlo, evacuated the place
and directed their course towards Pinal, on the
Puebla road, which they reached without any
opposition, and there meeting with Gen. Lane,
the combined American force continued its
march upon Puebla. Into this city, in a state

POPULAR CONNECTION IN ENGLAND. "A seri-
Gus struggle between the cotton manufacturers
and operatives has begun in England. The
wages Of the men being reduced ten per cent,
they refused to work. Many mills are closed
in consequence, and the thousands thrown out
of employment are holding meetings, organic
ing societies, and preparing some Interior move
ments in connection with the Chartists. Mass
meetings assembled at Ashton, Mossley, etc.,
at which resolutions were passed, calling for a
genaral union Of the operatives, a suspension
Of work throughout the manufacturing dis
%tricts, etc. Thirteen mills at Mossley, FIVE at
Ashton, and two at DukinReld, were stopped
by the turnout of the hands. Twelve thou
sand hands were already out Of work in Man
chester, and the turnout was extending in
every direction.
The recent dismal news from England has
spread great CONSERVATION among the monied
interests Of Paris. The negotiation Of the
loan of 350,0O0,000 francs is considered i'm
practicable, and securities of every descrip-
ton have been severely depressed. The cur
rent opinion that the loan will be postponed
until next spring, however, had begun to ope-
rate favorably on securities Of all kinds.
Cotton Cultivation in THrkey.-Dr, Davis, Of
South Carolina, left the United States some
time since for Turkey, at the solicitation Of the
Turkish Government, with a view of testing
the practicability Of raising cotton in that
country. It appears IRON recent advices that
he has met with great success in his undertake
ing. He thinks the hundred acres planted pro-
mise to make one hundred bales Of three humid
red weight each.

The "North Americana a~lluding to the meet
ing of Congress, at Queretaro, fears that their
deliberations will result in the continuance of
the present obstinate and absurd position Of
Mexico. All the military characters who
have escaped the late fights, have assembled
at Queretaro, and are exerting their influence
in keeping ripe the spirit Of war among the
people, The North American, however, ex-
presses the true view of the matter, and says
we shall never again solicit or seek a peace
Our army is safely and securely posted, and
our occupation of the capital undisputed.-
"Whatever propositions the delegates Of Con-
gress may advance" says the North Ameri-
cam, tive shall be ready to meet them upon
the groundof theirOwn choosing, be they peace.

There was a rumor in the city Of a severe
fight between the Americans and Mexicans,
at venueda de Pinal, in which the latter were
defeated.
In San Luis Potosi the moderate party has
gained the election.
A large number Of the Deputies of Congress
have protested against Pena y Pena holding
the Presidency.
Santa Anna has gone TO Oajaca. He was
obliged to march there to quiet the fears Of his
army that he would deliver them up to the
Americans, and by the desertion Of Keynes
who had gone to Puebla to join Gen. Rea.
AssassinatiOns, which were rather common
in the city Of Mexico when our army first en-
tered 1t, are now becoming very rare-the
Mexicans having become acquainted with a
certain domestic %utensil, called a bowie.knife
in much vogue with our soldiers.
