WAsHMaroN, April 6.-The following has been
promulgated by the Mexican Legation here. The
news of the defeat Of EscoBEDo by the Imperiasts,
which was reported from Vera Cruz, is disbeleyed
here by gentlemen well posted in Mexican affairs.
Instead of this, it was expected that MAxnnLIIAs'
would be captured at Queretaro as he lost the op-
p0rtumty he had ofdefeating EsooBLDo before he
was reinforced by the Liberals from the interior.
The following is an extract from reliable Vera
Cruz letter received at the Legation. The Liberals
were in full force around the city, expecting the
artillery o assault it, and it cannot be long before
its occupation. The Liberals at night approached
within forty yards of the Notifications. Passen-
gers from the interior report General D1Az attack
ing Puebla, and already possessed of the outer
works and a greater portion of the city, and the
Imperahsts we're reduced to the Plaza or Central
Square. After the capture Of Puebla DIAz will be
free to march upon the City Of Mexico, where he
had already portion of his army in good posi-
tion.
You may expect to hear Of the capture of the
City of Mexico even before MAMMALIAN is de-
feated at Quaretaro, which is only ACQUISITION of
time.
