AMERICA.

FOREIGN (5- CO LONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

- By the Royal mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Ryrie,
we have advices from New York to the 15th, Boston to
the 16th, and Halifax to the 18th inst. respectively. She
brings 90 passengers, and £12,000 in specie.
The Hibernia spoke the Cambria on the morning. of the
18th between Halifax and Boston, where she would arrive
on the evening of the 18th.
• Our accounts from Mexico, though mere rumours, are
interesting. Santa Anna was stated to be at Guadaloupe,
whence it was expected he would retreat to Oaxaca.
This, however, is contradicted by rumours which report
that the American troops, after taking the city of Mexico,
bad numerous severe conflicts with the almost innumera-
ble swarm of Leperos who inhabited and surrounded the
capital, and that the latter finally became so annoying and
destructive that they obtained the advantage over the
American troops, who were finally under the necessity of
retiring from the city. It is further said that Santa Anna
bad left his quarters at Guadaloupe, and returned to the
capital at the head of an army of 10,000 regular troops,
and that fighting had been resumed and was still going on
desperately at the last accounts.
It was further stated that in consequence of the above
report the Mexicans had become inspirited, and were
flying to arms throughout the country. 3,000 were
reported to have gathered at Victoria.
In consequence of these reports, great anxiety was felt
for the troops under General Scott.
A rumour, which is confirmed, states that Santa Anna
bad resigned the Presidency, and that the instrument of
resignation was dated from Guadaloupe the 16th of Sep..;
but that the Mexican people were not disposed to receive
it, and had again placed him at the head of the army.
There is no confirmation of the report that Santa Anna
had been wounded.
Among other improbable rumours, it is stated that
General Herrera is now in command of the army, and
will proceed with 14,000 men to station himself at Que-
retaro, where it is intended that the Mexican Congress
shall reassemble. It is also said, that Santa Anna has
moved towards Puebla with 2,000 horse, and that Paredes
is raising troops with some success in the state of
Jalisco.

- The New York Express says :—" There was a report_
by the last arrival from Vera Cruz, that General Quitman.
with 4,000 men, had left the Mexican capital for the pur-
pose of opening communications with the coast. But we
hardly think General Scott would deem it advisable to
weaken his force in the capital so much as would be
necessary to carry out this movement. Obviously the
communications ought to be opened from below."
General Rea is said to have gotten full possession of
Puebla, but the Americans were pouring a deadly fire
upon his troops from the surrounding heights command-
ing the town.
Large reinforcements of American troops were on their
way from Vera Cruz to the Mexican capital. By the last
accounts from Vera Cruz, September 25, there was an
American force of 2,500 men at the National-bridge,
under General Lane ; another of about 1000 men at
Jalapa, under Major Lally ; a garrison of a few hundred
men at the fortress of Perote ; and another of about 1000
men at Puebla, under Colonel Childs. The greater part
of the force at the National-bridge was immediately to
march for Jalapa, where it would be joined by Major
Lally's command, or a part of it, and proceed to Perote,
and thence to Puebla and Mexico, to reinforce the main
army under General Scott. General Cushing's diiision
of about 2000 men was daily expected at Vera Cruz from
the Brazos, and would forthwith advance to the support
of General Lane. As Lane's division will encounter
opposition from the guerrillas, particularly at Cerro
Gordo, where considerable fortifications are said to have
been erected; it is probable that by the time he rerches
Perote, General Cashing will come up, which will swell
the advancing column to 5,000 men.
The intelligence respecting the growing crop of cotton
continues very favourable. The weather continued fine
throughout the cotton-growing states • and there were no
estimates below 2,000,000 or 2,200,000ba1es ; whilst some
parties calculated that if no frost should occur before
the end of the present month, even the larger estimate
would be found too low. According to present appear-
ances, in this country and the United States, our cotton
manufacturers are not likely to suffer next year, from any
serious deficiency of the raw material.
