/ In tas siege and lalI Of Puebia, says the New
/ York Herald Of The l5!h, another extraordinary
chapter is added to the extraordinary history Of
/ Mexico. The Off i,ial documents and circum-
stantial details rees;vs8 via Havaua and ruB-
ished this morning, relative TO the termination
I Of the siege and tho capitUlation Of General
/ Or.ega, deserve and win command universal
attention. The account is evidently truthful
/ ana dispTev5s much Of the statement originally
I put forth by the French.
/ On the l6h uit., women and children in Pu-
/ o6.s were dying Of hunger. The soldiers ol
! OTasEa's army had consumed their mules and
/ cavalry horses, and even the dogs; starvation
| staTa5 them in the face and there was no hope
| Of succor Through the internositi0n of C5mon-
fort. Worn ont with prolracted effort weak

Bot there is e dark iies in this bright page of
Mexican history ll appears that the prolss-
sional hdraud and bHtchar Marques, with his
gang Of Mexican trnjtorg allies Of the French,
were s5e 6r-t 30 enter Pd8bia, and to such an
aztout were hsY carrying their exesssas, tbst

It Is stated that eighteen thousand Of tbe
Ffench have taken up their line Of march iog
Che City of Mckee. Bat while lhero Is nothing
definite ON tbis point, there is unmistaEab.a
evidence Of the determination OF the 8sLicans
to defend their capital TO ila last extremity
C5monfort is blamed for failing 10 relieve Pue-
5la. and h8 has been removed from command
JuaTaz has issued stirring proclamation calling
On the governors Of the several States 70 dis
( Bsleh troops 90 .aa capital immediately Cen.
GHzs, formerly governor Of Tsmaulipas, bold
and talented soldier, hiss been placed in supreme
! c0mmsud of the disiries Of Mexico. It appesrs
I that considerable Oh an srmy hes sready been
/ improvissd and a stand made 90 dispute the ad-
vance of the Efeuch tawari tbs capital.
/ There Is a plausible rumo7 also, tAst Ortega,
