A battle was fought, on the 7th of May, near

Puebla in Mexico, between the Federalists, who are called rebels, and the Govern- ment troops under SANTA ANNA, in which the former were defeated. Their General MExiA, being taken prisoner, was ordered by SANTA ANNA to be shot, with his back turned to the soldiery. Ile re- sisted; and then, the account says, "he was murdered in a yard, Santa Anna gratifying a personal vengeance." The feud between SANTA ANNA and BUSTAMENTE is likely to lead to more bloodshed.
