It cannot well be otherwise. Confidence i+ all gone money is all gone, hope has vanished, and in thelr pings poverty and despair reign supreme. ‘The only chance left of opposing the Americans, is to raise & frenzy or enthusiasm—call it which you wili—similar to that planted in the early revolutiontats by Hidalgo, and it is to be doubted whether there la even virtue enough left in the ksi to bring about such a consummation. At the celebrated battle of Las Cruces, fought near the city of Mexico, it may be recollected that Morelos and Hidalgo had an immense rabble te contend against the few royalists under Truxillo, and that suck was the fren- zy of the former, that in many instances, during the hot- test of the fight, they ran up and stuifed their hats into the very mouths of the Spanish cannon. They cannot up such 8 feeling now. Gen, Worth will probably enter the rich and populous city of Puebla on Friday next, Gen. Quitman accompa- nying him. No one anticipates opposition, but on the contrary, it is said that the larger and better portion of the inhabitants are growing more and more anxious for the entrance of the Americans for the protection they will afford them against the hordes of ladrones and lepe- ros which have always infested that city. We hear no- thing of the guerillas of late—they are probably contin- nee maselves to robbing their own countrymen. ‘he reports in relation to Santa Anna are still con- tradictory, but all agree that he is at or near Orizaba. He has certainly threatened an attack upon Vera Cruz, and also upon this place, and there are those who think, judging from his threats and actions, that he has bo- ‘come mad since his recent reverses. ‘The probability in, that he keeys his force about him partly for his yal i tection, and partly to be ready to strike a blow should » favorable opportunity offer. Gen, Scott will probably leave with Gen. Twiggs, in the course of a few days, for Puebla, His next move- ments will depend upon circumstan Gen. Quitman’s appointment as Major General, meets with the full approval of the army. The wound of Gen. Shields, which every one at first theught would prove mortal beyond doubt, continues to improve, and the his recovery are stronger than ever. this by the diligencia. It is considered a very unsafe conveyance, and for fear my letters may be overhauled by the Mexicans, I cannot say half 1 other- wise should. From the Vera Crus letters of th we make the signing extracts Vera Cruz, May 7.—A train is to ra seagate morrow, which would be well worth a large cost for San- ta Anna to cut off. It is immensely large and valuable, consisting of about four hundred wagons, loaded with Saee of all kinds, including over a helfs million of dollars, and a lai number of pack mules, nearly or quite one thousand. The escort will consist of about one thousand soldiers, about one half of which are dra- goons, sent down by Gen. Scott. It is quite probable that Santa Anna has intelligence of the preparation and importance of the train, and itis not improbable that he will endeavor to intercept it, and it is hoped that Gen. Scott will send a large reinforcement for the escort, 80 a8 to insure its perfect safety. Sueh a capture would about pay the Mexicans for all their losses since the commencement of tho war. AFTERNOON, May 8—In the Eagle, which I vend: you will find a list of fifty-five soldiers, who will remain in Mexico after the war is over. They havetaken up their home amongst the sand hills, and @ louder blast. than that which called them to the field will be required to them hence. The number of the army who will thus remain in Eastern Mexico, already far excceds that ofthe shipments to California of the same class. ‘These deaths all occurred within a period of three weeks, and as far as! can judge by the dead carts, which I pass daily in the streets, the month of May will tell a worse story than April has told. ‘The mere dying of these poor fellows is not the worst of the matter; but as I shall again revert to the subject, I shall not now dwell upon any of its details, An order of the government, issued the day before esterday, indicates the state of preparation which it is found necessary to maintain under existing circum- stances. A few thousand troops, under a determined leader, would find Vera Cruz at this moment, rather an easy conquest, although there would be some ‘hard fight- ing encountered in the operation. Very little fear of an attack is entertained, but Governor Wilson is too old a soldier to treat his Ceri with too much contempt. ‘The correspondent of the Delta says that, in addition to the strong guard that accompanied this train, the 3d, 7th and 6th infantry, with mountain howitsers, under the command of Col. Riley, was to meet at San Juan del Rio. Besides Gen. Scott had so arranged the marchin; of the discharged volunteers, that one regiment would encamp at the same place with the train every night. Part of the big train moved forward this afternoon for Santa Fe, eight miles from this city, where the train will be organized, and on Monday morning making # fair start. It will form one of the grandest caravans ever seen, extending fully six miles in length. It seems to me to be entirely too & party, and could proba- bly have been divided into numbers and time, to better Puspone. ‘any barbarities are committed on the road by small parties, which sneak like Indians among the brushw and watch for stragglers from the trains. A Lieutenant Kingsbury, of the volunteers (not the intelligent and intrepid member of Gen. Taylor's staff.) was, the other day, mangled in a dreadful manner, barel; Seno ota | to Jal ‘pe with his life. Many others, who have observed too little caution, have fared much worse—somo being found dead in s fow minutes after they had stepped out of the train, or line of escort, and no trace of their mur- derers remaining distinguishable. The Ohio (74) sailed this morning for the United ot pig I think—and the St. Mary’s will soon follow. 9 P. M.—A squadron of dragoons has just come in from Jalapa, and report no change in affairs in that place. It is believed that Santa Anna, with some five or six thou- sand t is moving, and that his destination is Crus, The story is refined upon until his distance fro the eity is narrowed down to 15 miles, on the Orizaba road. Commercial Times, [to-day saw an officer, in the public plaza, insult a Indy, or a fomale whore dress and manners were those of alady, Another fellow this evening o and toy stand, kept by a very pretty girl; and five minutes ago a posse of the police were un- dor my window dragging one off for some offence of the kind. These are not very serious outrages, but similar ones are constantly occurring, and they disgrace the American character, 11th.—Quito an excitement is produced amongst the unacclimated this morning, by reports of the sppes ance of the vomito. ‘Two deaths have occurre 4 during the night, and both are attributed to that dr°ad dis- ease. One victim was a French lady, and the other Mr. Smith, the sutler of the Pennsylvania regiment. Both were in full health two days ago. LATER FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. The New Orleans Picayune has papers (brought by the way of Tampico,) from thecity of Mexico to the 28th of April, five days later than the papers previously received. We copy bolowfrom it :— We first look for news from Santa Anna, and we find him engaged, with the utmost diligence, at Orizaba, raising troops. He shows, as the letters well say, incredi- ble energy in repairing the losses he bas sustained; and ere this, is, no doubt, at the head of an army very con- siderable in numbers, however inferior in discipline. He is, moreover, according to the papers, granting permits to guerilla bands. Being straitened forfunds, ho is said to have imposed upon Orizaba a loan of $16,000. We give s translation of the first letter we have soon of Santa Anna’s since his defeat at Cerro Gordo. It was written on the 22d of April, from Orizaba, Below we copy a portion of this letter :— “It appears that the fosage pontine his triumph, and the astonishment in which he finds the people, designs to march upon the capital; but! am taking measures to organize here a respectable force, in ad- dition to that at present under the command of Gen. D. Antonio Leon; and! can assure tho President Sub- stitute, that with some aid from the neighboring States or the supreme government itself, I whall be able to harrass the rear guard of the enemy with effect until his destruction is achieved. ready despatched orders to General Canalizo that he protect with his ca- valry the fortress of Perote, and to Gen. Gaona that place it in the best state of defence until 1 can relieve him. “I cannot omit to express to your Excellency my asto- nishment at the apathy and selfishness of our citizens in the present critical circumstances; and I now deemi t necessary, to save the country, that the Supreme Pow- ers of the nation should dictate severe and effective mea- sures to enforce compliance on the part of every one with those duties which society and the im} upon him. If this is not done, if the nation does not rise en masse to defend ita most sacred rights, unjustly and barbarously trampled upon, infamy and scorn, with the loss of our nationality, will be the results, For my part all spare no sacrifice in behalf of the country; iny lif@ and my blood, my repose and my fortune, are éntire- ly consecrated to it, “For the present Ihave established my head quarters here, where [ shall receive the orders whieh the Supreme Government may have occasion to transmit. Accept assurance, ke God and liberty! Antonia Lorex pr Santa Anna. A short letter which Santa Anna wrote the same day to President Anaya is hardly worth publishing. He begs him not to despair, not to make a treaty with the enemy, and to defend the capital. He begs most piteously for some money The same number of El Republicano which contains the first letter defends the National Guard from the re- proach therein cast upon it of the loss of Cerro Gordo. — Santa Anna's ipse dizit has already lost much of its power. But notwithstanding the evident dissatisfaction felt with him by his countrymen, the supreme govern- ment has confirmed him in the command of the army by express orders, The necessity of such an order indi- cates that his authority had beon severely shaken Some of the papers were calling for a court martial on Canalizo, for his dastardly conduct at Cerro Gordo. Each step in the march of General Scott was chroni- cled in the papers of the capital, and the exceases of his troops were greatly magnified and denounced ‘The press is loud in its denunciations of the proprie- tors of haciendas who are selling grain to Gen. Scott, from which we infer that he does not lack supplies, Congress having conferred very ample powers up- on the Liga Substitute to provide for the arte emergency in the affairs of the country, was occupy iaelt with the discussion of constitutional questions. — The President shows good deal more apat! ible to the editors of Ei R. licano. im to arouse himself, and the nation to meet the crisis. more.
