rived with it reports that Gen. SANTA ANNA with
1000 men, had an engagement on the Odd ult., with
about 400 Americans, at Tehuacan, in which eight
Americans were killed. From other items of the in
tegence by this arrival, doubt tine truth of this
report.
Col. BANKHEAD is Governor of Orizaba, and has
force Of 1000 men. Col. STOCKTON, of the Michigan
volunteers is Governor of CordOya, and his regiment
forms the garrison at that point. Another garrison
is TO be stationed at Paso del Mancho, under the
mand of Major JULIE, of the Michigan regiment,
who will have two companies of the same, and such
other force as may be found necessary.

SANTA ANNA has published letter in relation to
his escape from Gen. LANE, at Tehuacan, and a note
requesting of the government passport to leave the
country. Of the former the correspondent of the Plea
yune says:
His charge upon Gen. Lanes command, of having
taken his plate is false, and his insnuation 10 the
conduct of the General while in Tehuacnn, needs no
reutation in the U. States. The spleen he vents is
in measure excusabe, since he driven out
of Tehuacan by our troops without time being given
him to put on his "new uniform" and since he was
driven out of Oaaca with as little ceremony by his
own countrymen man thus made shuttle-cock
of may be allowed some display of temper, which
though directed by his characteristic disregard Of
truth, will harm no one.
