We have our regular files by this arrival, from
which we give extracts below:
PuEBLA, October 20.-Gen Lane left this ct-
ty yesterday morning, with about $500 men, in
search Of the enemy on the Mexican road.
We hope that he..may meet them, but fear they
have no such a desire and will disappoint him,
Col. Wynkoop Of the LIST Pennsylvania vol
%unteers, will return to the castle Of Perote, in a
few days, with the few companies of his |regi-
ment, which Came up in Gen. Lanes column,
under Major Bowman. The other six compa-
MES will, Of course, remain here under Lieut.
Col, Black, having been detailed by Gen.
Scott, as the "main body Of the garrison Of Pue-
bla.n
(From he MatamOras Fag)
The robbers who committed the recent OUT
rage at Cadereyta, went so far as to rob the
church Of its property-carried oil the colikoes,
cups and everything valuable to the alIar--even
stripped the images of their garments and
crowns. What mercy can such sacreligious
wretches expect!
From the Monterey Gazette Of the Gath ult.,
we make the following extracts:
Gen. Wool has had d Mexican hanged at
Saltillo for murder. II appears that some three
days since, a party Olive Mexicans induced an
American, q carpenter by trade, to join them in
a game of monte, and when he exhibited his
money, they fell upon and killed him. Gen.
VHooI haoesnu of - koJ tbo 6vo orraatad and
tried, and the leader was sentecced to be hang
ed, which sentence was Immediately to be exc
cuted, The other four were sentenced to five
hundred lashes each and to be confined during
the war.
A deputation Of the citizens waited on the
General to have the sentence miligated, which
he Justly refused. This caused some excite
ment amongst the Mexicnns, but had such inn
partial steps been taken with all such scoun-
drels, since the beginning ofithe war, we do not
doubt that many similar re Olting deeds could
have been prevented by the knowledge Of in
slant and summary punishment.
A letter from Piscarea Grande, received in
town by a friend, states that an American resi-
ding in that place, DR. George Ballard, had re-
Gently been murdercd by two Mexicans.
ANOTHER RUMoR.-The rumor among the
Mexicans now is, that four Of the Mexican
States (San Luis de Potosi, Zacatecas, Durango
and one other not named,) have declared in IA
Vor Of the monarchical scheme ofParedes, and
united, have p%rofered him $4,000 troops to car
~ outhis designs.
A son OF Iturbide is fixed upon to be raised
to.the throne, and European Intervention is
said to be confidently calculated upon to place
him here, and maintain the authority of the
crown. The Mexicans in this quarter are said
to be very hostile to this rumOred movement,
and to express themselves as being ready to
Join the troops Of the United States, to prevent
such q consummatiOn.
That Patades is scheming to establish q
monarchy in Mexico, We are well aware, but
that his schemes havei received the support
which this rumor would impIySwe will not, for
a moment believe. AS to the European inter-
v%ention, to further such design, it is all non
sense and no sensible Mexican could be hum
plugged into the belief that any power in Eu-
rope would dare interfere.
HIenwAY RcBBERs.-A set Of lawless despe.
radoes, at the mouth Of the River, we learn,
have banded together for the purpose Of rob-
bing, They made an Eruption into the quiet,
orderly and religious town Of Bagdad on the
night Of the 9th inst, and obtained considera-
bic plumber. They are headed by a certain
cashiersd captain, by the name Of Smith, who,
it is said, belonged to one Of the Illinois regi-
ments, and fought at the battle Of Buena Vista.
We further understand that this party of rob-
bers murdered and robbed some three or four
Mexicans, between this and the mouth of the
river a few days since. They should be looked
after.
Loss Of The U. S. Propeller, Buchanan The
Buchanan, bound from Vera Cruz to Tampico,
on the evening of the 9th inst, went ashore on
Lobos Island. Vessel a total loss-no lives
lost.
