The news from the city Of Mexico,

ON The L lth, at 5 O'Clock, P, NJ, he enter

following intelligence Of the movements oil
Santa Anna, and of affairs in the interior
TO The Genius of Liberty, from an extra oil
(which of the 10Th, we quote:
i, DR.. Galven left The city Of Mexico on
tue 7,h Of this month, and on the lth at 3
; o'clock, P. NJ, he entered Guamantla.
There be learned that the force OF Gen.
Lane had entered shortly before, and so
sudden and unexpected was his arrival
that Santa Anna had barely time to get
away.By another quarter Of the town. The
Americans captured two pieces Of artillery
belonging to the force Of Gen. Santa Anna,
which The latter in his hurry had not time
to remove; and also, took Two prisoners,
Vega and the son Of Iturbide.
Santa Anna after leaving Guamantla,
which he did at The head Of 1000 horse,
was reinforced by 1900 men of the com.
mand of Gen. Reyes, and both remained
in the neighborhood of Guamanlla, lIll
Gen. Lanes departure. after which this
town was again taken possession OF by
Gems. Santa Aana and Reyes, who fol-
: lowing up the rear guard Of the Americans
killed 20 men, principally Inebriated stag
gIers, and took 90 prisoners. The Mexl-
cans had two pieces Of artillery with them,
one brass FOUNDER, and the l6, of the
same metal.
Geu, Rea sailed out of Puebla al the
head of a pretty considerable force, and
was awaiting, al the Pinal the approach OF
Gen. Lane, whose fanks and rear the
Mexicans are reported 10 have been in
cessanlly harrassing. But we know and
! we are confident that though The Mexicans
should muster a four. fold The amount Of
that which it is reported that they have,
vet Gen. Lane, the Bueua Vista hero, will
extricate himself with honor and with
glory from their midst, aud will form
junction with his General, unscratched by
the ordeal of passing through the soldiers
Of Santa Anna and Rea.
The degree by which it was ordained
that Mr.. Pena Pena should take charge
Of the supreme power, in conjunction Win
TWO associates, has been repealed, and
Santa Anna has again been called upon

has Of late received some very important
converts TO his political principles.
Gen. Valencia is al his hacienda, pas

We suppose he is only abiding bis time.

any thing like quorum present, nothing

80 Peace is as far off as ever, the feelings
of the people are said TO- be most strenu-
ously opposed TO any compromise with the
North Americans in fact the hostility
which exists against us in the interior
towns, cities and villages is reported 10 be
Of the most bitter kind.

Why Gen. Taylor did not Aduance.-
"The following extracts (says the Louis
vile Democrat from letter Of Col. JEFF
ferson Davis, in reply 10 an invitation to
attend barbecue in the parish Of C0ncor-
dia, La, in honor Of Gen. Taylor, shows
why The advance on San Luis Po,osi was
no, made, and places in proper light the
recommendation Of Gen. Taylor, that a
part of his force should be despatched to
reinforce Gen Scott"
Before closing, will recur TO recent
and characteristic exhibition Of his disnle-
rested patriotism. He was called on by
the administration for his opinion as 10 the
best mode Of prosecuting the war with
Mexico. In view Of the embarassments
which surroul lded Gen. Scott. aud The i'm
porlauce of the operations in which he
was engaged, Gen. Taylor recommended
that portion This own command he sent
10 reinforce the southern column. For the
good of his country, he sacrificed his long
deferred hope of an advance atlhe moment
of his ful6lmenl, and doomed himself to
the worst punishment OF soldier-inac-
tivi,y in line OF defence. For the good
of his country, all personal ambition, al!
rivalry, were forgot,ou-he gave his vest
also to the man who had taken his coat
and left him exposed to the storms of Bu-
epa Vista.
