wards of one hundred of the Encarnacion prisoners,
released under Col. de Russey's mission from Tam-
pico, among them John Brady, J. Thompson, J.
Leavy, Williams, and Hull, New York Regi-
ment, and Fulbash, Baltimore Battalion.
Capt. Besancon's company, except Lieut. Hawkins
and eighteen men, left as guards at Vera Cruz, are
reported all killed.
There were near the National-bridge twelve hun-
dred guerillas.
It is mentioned that another attempt had been made
to kill Capt. Bragg by exploding a bomb under his
bed. No personal injury.
Fears of Lieut. Henderson's squadron's safety are
renewed, as he had not joined Major Lally.
Additional accounts by the steamer Day give hopes
that the reported disaster to General Worth and
others is false. There was a Mexican force near
Puebla determined to intercept all communication
from General Scott.

Lieut. Antonio Predra, aid to Vega, has escaped
from New Orleans to Havannah.

The informant tells the Picayune that Captain
Visceo's mounted battalion, went and examined the
graves of Besancon's men, thus confirming the ac-
count first given by the Spaniard passing from the
capital.

Lieut. John Riley died on board the McKim.
The Delta publishes a report from Sergeant Lor-
rente, rendering certain the safety of the detachment
under Henderson, and also that Besancon was at Ja-
lapa on the Bth September.
The Delta discredits altogether the deaths of Gene-
rals Worth, Pillow, and Smith, and the blowing up
of three powder waggons.
The Picayune also expressed its belief that the
statement of the disastrous defeat of General Worth
is Mexican bombast.

Paredes is stated to be in the State of Puebla with
six thousand men, prepared to prevent reinforcements
reaching General Scott.
Government has made no attempt to arrest his
proceedings. He has been appointed Inspector-
General of the Puebla National Guards.

The New Orleans Picayune and the Delta of 27th
ult. publish further documents relating to the peace
negotiations.
1. A letter from Pacheco to the Mexican commis-
sioners, with a modification of their instructions.
2. A counter project of a treaty from the Mexican
commissioners to Mr. Trist.

3. A letter from the commissioners to Mr. Trist,
dated 6th September, accompanying the counter
project and the treaty.
. . . .

4. A letter from the commissioners to the Secre-
tary of State of Mexico dated September 7th,
with this important conclusion :
"On Wednesday we entered into a long and calm
discussion of the principal points of the propositions,
which continued during the following day. The
result was that Mr. Trist showed himself disposed to
abandon the claim to Lower California and part of
Upper California, so that we might have communi-
cation by land with Sonora. He proposed that no
other :point of difference to the conclusion of peace
existed, except that relating to the territory between
the Rio Grande and the Nueces; he would consult
his Government on that point with some hope
of success. But the cession of New Mexico was
a condition that he could not abandon or submit to
a new consultation at Washington. He is certain
that his Government would consider a peace on other
points mentioned in his propositions which appear to
us would be overcome, both parties proceeding in
negotiations in a spirit of accommodation. Your
Excellency communicates its final determination in
your note of yesterday, in conformity with which,
and the approbation of the Cabinet, given in the
Council of Ministers, we delivered the same day to
Mr. Trist the counter project, and, without other
discussion, he ("red to give an answer to day, and
has done so in the note, of which number three is a
copy."
Mr. Trist is not included in this history of negotia-
tions. This put an end to the Mexican commission.
In their intercourse with Mr. Trist, they say they
had ample reasons to appreciate his noble character,
and if at another time peace be concluded, it will be
by means of the spirit of negotiation and the estimable
qualities which distinguished this Minister.
The State of Zacatecas, taking advantage of the
distracted condition of Mexico, has sent a force
against the State of Aguas Calientas, which has
sometimes acted independently of Zacatecas, and been
recognised as an independent state, to reduce it to
submission.
