Nothing occurred on the march of special note, except that while lying at the town of Amozoque--an easy day's march east of Puebla--a body of the enemy's cavalry, two or three thousand strong, was seen to our right, not more than a mile away.

A battery or two, with two or three infantry regiments, was sent against them and they soon disappeared.

On the 15th of May we entered the city of Puebla.
General Worth was in command at Puebla until the latter end of May, when General Scott arrived.

Here, as well as on the march up, his restlessness, particularly under responsibilities, showed itself.
During his brief command he had the enemy hovering around near the city, in vastly superior numbers to his own.
