TIE news from Mex co, via Havana which We recent

Senca may be thus briefly recapitulaed. On the Ct
Nay last the French the number Of some four thousand
men, made determined attack upon the city Of Puebla
bu. we're repused by the As1cans at ell points, with
loss of thousand killed and wounded aud some two
hundred )uaves taken prisoners. Failing In their fret
attempt they made second attack but again ddv.
en- of with loss of several pieces Of artillery In the
meantime hsrqntz the traitor who had deserted tue
national aid the invaders, met by General
Oarvsjal and summarily put to fight. Disconnected
and defeated every side, the French had no 9th,
resource but to fall back their reserves at z,b ;
bat the latest accounts state that the victorious Mex.
caus were holly pursuing them, and that there we're
great fsars that their whole army would be either cap
lured or annihisted.
So much for the Mexican yeraion Of the story. The
French organs in this city and elsewhere dscredit al
together upon what appear TO ua TO be very insufficient
