the Disturbances in that city.
In the town Of Leon, in the State OF
Gnanajuact, there had been a military
disturbance or insurrection, which the
RepubHcdno regards as Of riff, ,ng moment,
and thinks it had already been put dowr.
! The Repubticano of the 18th tells us hat
the Mexicans were terrifying the hills or
ridges of Loreto, Guadalupe, and San
Juan, and that an advanced division Of
Mexcaos had been pushed as far as Rio
Prieto, four leagues est OF Puebla.
The Mexcans say Gen. Worth entered
Publa with 5000infantry, 2G0 cavalry and
a traln OF 400 wagons. and that Gen. Scotl
left Jalfpa forth same destination with
tilIery.
The Republican, is profoundly indig
nant that SO much apathy is manifested by
its fellow citizens as TO the defence of the
capitol. 1t devotes a long article to the
subject, and although we have not room
nor time to reproduce it, we infer from il
that al this time, should General Scott
advance, no vigorous resistance would be
opposed to him. The article appeared on
the l7th inst, and in the course Of Con,
