The latter ia a town .ft mile hryond Jalapa, and ettntatning 10,000 inhabitanta.

Wright, which left Vera Crux on the !29tb alt., ve haVo received a mam of letter and papers from our friends and correspondents in that city. Gent-fa! Scott is vigoroorfy pressing the enemy, affording the defeated Mexicans no renpite. Jalapa and Pe rote have been occupied and the report wis current, whan the New Orleao set sail, that Gen. Scott waa on the point of making a tie monstration on Puebla i'self. Nothing i more likely, since there sfpears to he now no orgtYi litio'h of troop to impede the march of our ar my even to the Capital. Sinta Anna, when last heard from, was in so forlorn a condition, that it was expected he Wo'u.d give himse'T up to the American Governor of Vera Cruz, pre Torring to trut himi-elf to the generosity of an open foe, to exponing himre'.fto the tendrt mer ciea of his o n toutitryinen, who n6vv denounce him ss their betrsyer.

The fact of thia Genera) not having fallen bath Upon Jalapa, haa iel room for the supposi tion that his flight is prompted by the feat off ing sacrificed, lor treason imputed to hint, and which baa no other foundation thao the adverse results experienced by the Mexican arms in eve ry encounjer with the Americans-.

If so, they will show mote wisdom than haa been evinced by several other Mexican cities, with Karcely a hope for auc Crsa against ue. Samta A us. It is now certain that Santa Anna ia at Orixaba, a littha town at the loot f the mountain ot that name, with about one ! thousand tronpa around hi standard. He waa aeen at that place on Sunday morning last, and waa heard to express his desire of remaining there until he emild muster a sufficient force to make another stand. In regard to the sinceri ty of his sssertion, much dnebt fa entertained, aa it ia suppneed that he i exceedingly dosirous to reave the country, but fears to attempt a movement of that kind openly, lest he ehnold be assaninatrd immediately ; which will Vm drtthl he hia fate ttttimniely, however long he may prolong it. He will not dare return to the city of Mexico, ia the universal opinion, until some success should crown hi efforts to rc deem his tboujsnd promises to the deluded peo ple snd the clergy, the latter being now hia on ly backers. Itta said that those who cling to his diwping standard now, are brought fVr.m Oijtca princi pally, and that tmt more than two or three hun dred ofthvm have any annn ; those they have, ! loo, be.ng in very bad condition.
