Our march from that place here 1 ' was productive of little which deserves par| ticular notice. Our division halted at L'c- ' | rote the best part of two days, in order to ; allow L?'-n. W orth time to get one day in ) advance. i The scarcity of water and forage, rcnt dors it necessary that an army, in thiscoun; try. should proceed only in detached portions. This, however, would, in any case, have licvn our best method, and the one sure to he adopted, since there was no danger of ineviiny with an opposing army this I sidy of i'uthlu. ( Mr marches from I'e rote ! wen; short. iind would have been pleasant, ' but that ihey were through an opan praii l ie, where, the hot sun poured down its rays, entirely destitute of water, except from an occasional hacienda here and there on the road. W e heard occasional reports of Santa Anna ;til along the road. We were told at a hacienda, where we encamped the lirst i niiilit that he was only a few miles distant with a small body of lanceros. A .Mexican had ottered the ni^hf before to conduct (Jen. Worth to him about 20 miles off. The (ienoral replied to him that In; ,;cared i . I i.V a .1 .1 no mint- itimhii oaniii ovinia man any oilier , blacl; jSlvi'icd//." Thy fact was, however, j lu* had no cavalry, hut. a small escort. 1 I 1 and he knew Santa Anna was not far oil' 1 with a considerable mounted force. We ascertained with certainty, in a day or two, that he had preceded (Jen. Worth \\ it!) an armed hotly of four or live thousand men. and the next news that arrived was, that he was fortifying himself on the road to oppose our advance upon l'uebla. (Jen. Worth sent word back to (Jen. Quitman, that unless he was attacked, he would, in i , ..... , case ot opposition, wait until his division ! came up. On the morning of the 1:2th, : soon after we set out on our march, we i?i?:ird (lie r.innnn mien n few tnilnc of our Column. Wo struck up a brisk pace, and as wc hoard report alter report come rolling like distant thunder over the plain, we soon began to think that this was no stampedbut a regular built fight, and that we should at least have, a small finger in the pie. Our regiment was hailed Tor a fljw moments, until the train ol waggons came up, and I was not a little pleased to see thr ,o of our men who were unable to march, nn\v shoulder their arms and place ' themselves in the ranks of their companies; this was Universally the case, with oHirers and men. Our ranks, which were before thinned by sickness occasioncd by drinking the rotten lime watei on the road, now when the point of danger seemed nigh, were swelled to their greatest numbers. We advanced at a rapid pace lor four or live nides. still hearing tho cannon ahead, and .expecting every moment to run right into a light. But all at once the firing ceased, and we soon came upon Worth's troops, who informed us that the fun was all over. They had taken quarters during the niyht in the town of Aniosogue. '% The next morning, early, the Mexicans gave the alarm that Santa Anna's army whs approaching. The long roll was beat, and ( Jen. Worth drew ont his whole force. He placed one piece in a position to act upon a birgc body of cavalry in sight. After fifty or sixty rounds, totally dispersed lliem, with the loss of some thirty or forty. , Thus ended the battle of Amosogue! The Mexican force was entirely cavalry, lod by Santa Anna in person, arid was stated variously, some say one thousand, some five , thousand. The only* feat worthy of notice, is the talcing of a Mexican officer prisoner, by Lieut. McLellan, of the Engineer corps. . They were both sent out to reconnoitre, and met alone early in the morning. The Mexican fled, and McLellan made chase, i and after a considerable race, made him prisoner and brought him into camp. We remained for the night at Amosogue, moit of us without quarters or any thing to i ! cat, as we had placed every thing in the j I waggons, and were told not to unload them, | with the expect ?tion of leaving early in the i night for Pueblo, which was distant only j about four le s. Information, however, ! consisting w sartd"men, marched into the c.iy o? x about 11 o'clock' in the day. We \v?ni conducted through the most beautiful part of the town to the main plaza, where we stacked our arms, and took time to breathe and look around us and think of our strange situation. The road lor half a mile as we | i ' i came, was crowded with Mexicans. When we entered the streets, the sight was beautiful and interesting. The houses were i lofty, and were so thick as to form a dense I wall, on both sides, of 50 or 100 feet.? ; The streets were finely paved and perfectly neat. Thousands of people of all sorts and sizes were gazing at us with the most intense eagerness. They were, no doubt, much deceived in us ; for our numbers had been greatly exaggerated, and we had been reprsenlcd as monsters. We were informed on leaching the plaza, by (?en. Worth, that .i....... ...... .. i ^,>.i nii i^ \? i 11 J 1 II u|j|jwcuii iw us, and 1 lir.il much circumspection must bo used in our intercourse with the citizens. Wo were then dismissed lor fifteen minutes, and were soon circulating among the twentv thousand Mexicans that thronged the plaza, luxuriating in fruits, calces, ieo creams, etc. As kooii as our quarters were designated, we were conducted to them. There s much ??( interest in this city, j :iiid if well described would be worthy your j attention. The churches, the people, mar I kits and houses themselves, all luruish m lereslii?;jt matter (or letters and letter wri! ters. 1 doubt nut you will hear much of them. 11' I touch on them, it must be in : some future communication. , (Jen. Scott has arrived here with his | available ibrce ol about seven thousand men. I think we will have, to remain here until remIbreed.? The last news from Mexico is : that Santa Anna has assumed the 1'resiliency, and is warlike. He is said to have ; about 1*2,000 troops, and is busy preparing Ibr war. The old tale is told of taking down bells and niching them into cannon. 1 don't believe much of, for it is too sensible an act Ibr Mexicans to be guilty of. (Jell.

' Our latest letters arc up to the 20th of April, and wc have received the Delta containing the first accounts of (,'ero (lordo (Searro . Cioordoo.)

General Worth paid its a high compliment the other , day by giving a dinner exclusively to the i oflieors of our regiment. It is now undcr1 stood that when the now regiments come, on. we are to be attached to bis division. 1 1 am very unwilling to give news of an unpleasant character; but it is due to our friends and relatives at home to be kept as nearly as possible informed oft he real condition of our regiment.

It is true, they died not in battle ; but the motives which calica them into the field of action were such as actuated the brave; and the sufferings thcv endured were worse than those of the battle field. J. PUEBLA, (Mexico,) Juno 3, 18-17. Friend Allen:?We arc now in the Ci Lowell" of Mexico, in ihe romantic eoun try of the far-famed Tlascalas. As we approached the city, Commissioners met us ! and surrendered unconditionally to our ! arms, and on the 15th of May with k?Sono! rous brasses breathing martial strains," and i banners flying we entered the "city of ' Angels." The streets were densely crowd! ed with thousands of curious spectators, ! anxious to get a glimpse of the los Americai jios} whom the priest had endeavored to persuade were merciless cannibals. Even ! until the day of our arrival they exerted themselves to arouse and inflame the cili. zens by long harrangues, in which they ! staled we would rob them of their property, and desecrate their churches. A few days residence among tliein however, has taught ' them that we were woefully belied,by those ! canting sons of mother the church. I 0 ! It is thought that a majority of the lower iancl middle classes are favorable, to us, and a lew of the "upper ten." (Jen. Worth's j : division consisted of about 3,000 men, and shut up in this city of some. SO,000 iuliahi' tants, serious fears were entertained that we I . ' I would be attacked before (ien. .Scott could I reach us. We had two stampedes, Santa ! Anna came out to attack us on the hrst ! night, but finding we were prepaired lor him | he declined it. Since then four of Gencr.il ! Worth's confidential friends who are silI ways on the qui vice, came in within a half ; lmur of each other, all reporting that Gen. Bravo with 20.00U troops were but a few ; miles off, intending to make an attack upon ' us that day. Alarm was visible in the j countenances of the citizens as they hurried ; to and fro through the city, and everything seemed to confirm the report but as yet no j enemy has appeared. Gen. Scott's arrival ; has put an end to all such reports. i The army now here is not even G,U00, ! and it is certain we shall not advance to wards the capital for two months, or at least until reinforced. The train returns to-morrow to transport the new Regiments which : are. landing at Antigua twenty miles north . of Vera Cruz. I It is rumored that the road is open to the ; capital. After the oallie of Cerro Gordo, they lost all hope ami abandoned their deI fences. The castle of Perote is situated in a level valley without one loot of ascent for I three miles around, h covers some two i acres of ground, and mounts about sixty j cannon. The walls arc of inconceivable i strength, about twenty feet high and eight ! thick, and in addition to this, is surrounded | by a deep ditch that can be flooded with \va! ter. The bones of the Mier prisoners arc I still to be seen strewn around the cosse upon which they were shot. I have also seen the hole which Captain Walker cut through j his prison. When they abandon such places j as this they cannot contemplate much furI ther resistance. i j > All the volunteers arc anxious that the \ J war should be brought to a close upon any j ! terms, in plain English they are tired ofih<* j ! service. Our Regiment cannot muster j \ now more than five hundred men. Capt. i i Kennedy of Fairfield, is sent home, to raise j ; recruits for our Regiment. That inexplica- ! j ble politition Santa Anna has resigned the j Presidency and Herrera who is in favor of I peace is elected. I Mr. Trist, the commissioner sent out by j our government to treat for peace, is here, i He. wrote to General Scott concerninff his I mission, and requiring the command of the j army. General Scott replied he had been | appointed to the command of the army and ! would hold it until recalled. Captain Marshall and Moragne have both been sick but are up again. Ilervy Wilson has also had a severe spell of sickness but is doing well at this lime. George Griffin is discharged. The following is a list of those who have died in our company up to this time. J.

The moment the attack was nfade on the head of the train, the dragoons charged on the enemy, and dispersed them. Alter the lapse of a very s-hort time, the Mexicans again made their appearance in seemingly | overwhelming number.?, at least 17 or 1800 ] strong, and opened a fire on several points ! at once. Here a considerable number of pac.lc mules fell into the hands of the foe, from th.-; extended line which had to be kept up, on the match, owing to the narrow defiles through which the train was passing.

On the 8th, a small recruiting party, together with some citizens and disbanded sold ie-rs, in number about 150, with 75armed men, and 30 mounted, left Puebla for Vera Cruz. This party was under command of Captain Bainbridge, of the 3rd. Artillery. On leaving Jalapa and getting near Cerro Gordo, this party was informed that it would not be prudent to go through the pass, as there were about 4,000 Mexicans in the chaparral along the pass. Previous to this, two officers who had gone to the rear of the train were fired at from the cnaparral. At the mouth of Ifie pass the party was organised and marched through without meeting,an onemy.
