JALAPAy Mexico, April 9.8, 1847.
The diligencia Came in this morning from
Perote, but from no.point on the other side,
as the government of Puebla has ordered it
to cease running this way. Passengers
canto through, however, bringing papers and
verbal news, and in as consisola forin as pos
sible, I will give you the amount of the intel
ligence.
Among other rumors brought, liy passen
gers, is one to the effect that Mr. Bankhead,
the British minister: has TerieWed.hi l s offers of
mediation between MeXico and the United
States, and that when the lastAligencia left
the city of Mexie the Congress - was acting
upon his . propositions whatever they may
have been. Notwithstanding the fixed and
denunciatory tones of the i l lAblic press, there
is certainly a peace partP in Mexico, and
there may be something in this report , of Flaw
lish intervention in the distractell affairs "of
Mexico.
Cu). Garland's brigade left the castle of Pe•
rote yesterday morning at day-light, for Tepo
Agualcs, anti will reach that place to-'night.'
Major Smiths' light battalion, a troop of dra
goons, and Col. D'uncan's battery, accompa

has been very successful in collecting sup

An intelligent m n with whom I hav4on

nor can make any aty opposition at Puebla.
The population is ono of the worst in,-Mexi
coorind the melt iniiniclF I to strangers; yet
the dral-d
dfuileat at. C rill Gordo has com
pletely paralyzed them. At the city of Mex
ico, a few light breastworks havel been
thrown up, not only as you enter the Once byl
the Vera Cruz road, but on the road leading
to tile Convent of our Lady of Gitadatope; but
nothing like a regular system of defence has
been as yet undertaken. Not only the gov
'ernment, but the citizens; appear with all
their vauntings, to become strapified 'at the
succession of defeats which have befallen
their country, and know not which way to
turn, nor
. what to do. Santa Anna has writ--
ilea to the government from Orizaba, stating
that halms I,sooMen, and wants reinforce
ments and money:ut his demandshave been
heeded. 'At
un tOe eity- of Mexico, as well as
t
in other places, th people appear to - have
lost much of their confidence in the "Hero of
Tarripico;P, and many have openly accused him
of cowardicent Cerro Gordo, as well as of
haVing soli the battle , to the Americans: • T
am living at the Cusco de Ddigencilmi ior

morning some of the foreigners were speak-1

were on the mare from Qajaca to join Santa'
Anna, and they, al o said that Leon hid shot
two muleteers en t wades) tha,t they had aidell

The Mexican 1 drones on the roads appear
to be more at war, ,vith their own countrymen
than with ours, probably because they can
purchase easier victories. Two Mexican of
