Prirf otth ArniVt
From the N. O. Commercial Time, of May 6.J ;
Dy the arrival here last evening) or the stttYn
ship New Orleans, Cpt. 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. We ley before our rea
ders the following extracts Train the Eagle of
the 28th, and the Mexican Chronicle, a new
paper, established at Vera Crus, in Kttg'.ish and
Spaniah, of tho 26th and 2Slh ult.
The Mexican Army, after the heavy teee
of killed and vnramhfd, amnngnt which larA.tien.
Ciriaco Vaeities and other chiefs and officers of
less note, who fell on the field of battle, has
broken up altogether, not an officer or soldier
remaining with their atanrrard.
General ?anta Anna, wlo Commanded in
chief, was the first, according to some, and the
last according to other', to leave the field, ac
corrpenkrj by only twenty-five dragoon, tsking
the by-ways ; and a party ia cvon brand to as
sert that he aaw him in one of the villages of
the Sierra, in averch of tmrm to remount hia
escort.
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-.
General Canaliio. in hia rettrat on Puebla,
dismantled the tort of I'erote, carrying oft all
the ordutnea he rpuld, and spiking such ae he
had to leave behind. He art at liberty all the
criminals confined there, including lha aaata
,in,of r,,coni ,nd bi, br0th6r-in-Uw, whoao.ne
of our readere will remember to have been cru
elly murdered in thia city.
In consequence, the American troops advan
ced in triumph from B.Crra tlotdu CD Jalapa,
where the Corporatron and civil authorities went
out to meet them, and took posaes.ioU of the ci
ty where they behaved themselves in the same
uet and orderly manner as in thia city.

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. We h am i
that he pretende he can yet rvpulse the ''invi. J
