Gcn. Worth received yesterday, through

says he has seen the bill passed by the

distributed in the form of a handbill, and
posted up in the city of Mexico and at St.

A mother, herself in fever, was seen on
the same day to drag out the corpse of her
child, aged about-1' ..r; perfectly- naked, and
leave it half covered with stones. In a

many hours, but the others were unable to

THE Anton• OPERATIONS.—TiIe• concen
tration of a large body of troops at a par
ticular point in Mexico, proves that some
important movement.is soon to be under
taken, The principal part of the troops
now assembled at Victoria will, it is believ
ed, march speedily to Tampico, whence,
joined by the new regiments of volunteers,
they will march for Vera Cruz. The ex
pedition against San Luis at present seems
to be abandoned, at least, till after• the ra
ting of Vera Cruz, to ensure which im
mense quantities of boats, shells, gun car
riages, &c., have been despatched by Gov—
ernment to Tampico, That Vera Cruz
will be taken we have not the least doubt,
and then, unless Mexico shall come to sonic
terms, the march will be to the capitol it
self. The new vigor that has been infu
sed into the movements of the army shows
that our government -intends to push for
ward the war with energy.
