Although we not in possession of letters from
Mr.. Kendall, we have advices upon which we place
every reliance to the movements of Gen. Scott.
An express from Puebla, by the route OF Cordova,
had arrived at Vera Cruz, announcing that Gen.
Scott commenced his march upon the city of Mex
leo on the 10th instant.
We hear not word more in regard to the over
lures for peace said to have been made to Gen.
Scott That he marched on the 10th we have no
doubt
Another express had arrived at Vera Cruz from
Jaapa, which announced that all the sick had left
there on the 18th instant, for Perote under small
escort. COL Childs was TO leave the following day
with all the garrison. Gen. Shields would accom-
pany him. The road between Jalapa and Puebla
is represented as free from guerrilla parties of any
kind.
About one thousand troops left Vera Cruz on the
9Th instant under the command Of Major Gen.
Pillow, to Join the army of Gen. Scott.
By the express from Jalapa we have no intelli-
gence OF Gen. Cadwalader, as the rider came by a
circuitous route TO avoid the predatory parties on
the road.
BY this arrival we have received papers from the
city Of Mexico of the 9th, It'll, 9Th, and 9th of
June. Our previous files came down to the 18th
OF May. The intermediate dates have not yet
