patch from San Francisco, dated May as, says !:
sit is not believed here that the French have
abandoned the siege of Puebla On the Goth of
April C-tega, in Puebla, advised Comonfort, by
special courier, that the French continued the
bonba-ament, and were constructing bitches
and mines, preparatory to another assault
This appears to be later news than any received
from Puebla by way Of Havana, and comes en-
tirely through Mexican sources"
