Republic.
Another special overland express for the Netu
York Herald, reached this city yesterday with
the New Orleans Delta of the I'd inst, thirty-six
hours in advance of the mail. 1t contains intel
ligence from the city of Mexico to the 18th ult.
inclusive. 1t is, like all other Mexican news,
+. very contradictory and unsatisfactory.
1t will be recollected that we yesterday pub
llshed accounts from the city of Mexico of the
determination of the Mexicans to oppose the ad-
of General Scott to their capital, by every
means in their power, and that the greatest pre-
partitions were making to defend the Halls of
Montezuma. 1t now appears that the Mexican
papers 10 the 18th contain no evidence of that
ormidabe opposition which threatened to over
whelm General Scott.
According to the Geographic summary of the
Intelligence brought by our express, the Mexican
newspapers are all strongly opposed to peace
Santa Anna, to the 18th, had not been declared
Dictator. The rumors to that effect had been set
ahoat by his enemies The Republican, of the
18th recommends that the forces which are in
tended TO defend the capital, should be well drill
ed and properly instructed. 1t says that the chief
tains should bear in mind, that it is to be their
last effort and consequently no exertlOn to have
ii successful should be spared. The Raz0nador,
the peace paper, recommends peace only from a
conviction that the country cannot carry the
war.
Our despatch further states that Gen. Valencia |
has taken command of the army of San Luis |
Potos; that letter addressed to the Monitor
from Puebla says that Gen. Worth, who began
by kissing his hands to all the young ladies at
Puebla, has concluded by breaking the door of
Senior Paros's house, and lodging in it; that Gen.
Scott was to march between the 18th and goth of
June, as he was determined to celebrate the
4th of July at the capital; that, according to
Their account, he was not to march for six weeks |
from the 10th ult; that the citizens of Tlascala |
had solicited Gen. Scott for protection from |
party of guerllas; that letter from Puebla add
yises Santa Anna 10 march out and attack Gen. |
Scott before he is reinforced.
Such are the latest accounts from the city of
Mexico With so many contradictory statements,
what are we to believe We must wait quietly
and patiently till our forces march into the main
Plaz of the capital.
FROM the NJ O. Delta. of the I'd inst
We Yesterday received files Of Mexican papers from
the capital to aud OF the 18th ut dates three days
