on the 10th, we are in possession of intelligence
several days later from Yucatan. IT seems to be
the general impression that the war in Yucatan
has been brought to close. The treaty, if any
has been made, has not been promulgated, but the
Mexican troops had evacuated tho emncnce near
Campeachy and were to leave Sisal and Telchac
as soon as they could procure transports to convey
them tosLaguna or Tampico. They tried to get
the schooners Dover, Cottage, Magnato and Fred.
erick, but failed. The Yucatocos had retired
from their forts and dismanted their guns.
We have no direc; information from Com.
Moore, but Capt. Curtis understood before he left
that the Commodore expected to sail in few days
for Galveston. This, however, is only rumor, a
