The Bulletin learned form Gen. Pill
low, that before he left head quarters.
| information had been receivedfrom Pueb.
lO,that no defence would be attempted.
! and that Gen. Scott had been invited TO
| advance and take possession OF the CITY.
At the capital, arrangements had been
commenced to defendit They had melt
ed up large number OF the church bells
to cast canron, but with very bad success
as to the result. That TIE military men
were generally of the opinion chat the
city was incapable of successful defence,
and thlt the citizens generally were anx.
ious that it should not be attempted. and
that the American army should be re-.

After Gen. Pillow had embarked ON
board the Day, at Vera Cruz, he received
message from Capt. Leonard, of the-U.

from the army, withzinformation that the.
Government had abandoned the caDital.
and removedtola small town onthe noun.
tains, taking with them all the archives,
and that a 'deputation of the citizens had
been sent to General Scott, asking him
to advance, for the protection of the CITY.
Santa Annals army was completely
dispersed and his power and influence

Proclamations had been issued, calling
for the organization ofguerlla regiments

Alfthe volunteers, whose time of ser.

in battle, the sick list. and the garrisoRs-
at Vera Cruz and Jalapa, would propa.

The; impression was gaining ground
in the army that there woud, be no more
fighting. 1t was not expected sha. there
would be any opposition this side of or At
Puebla; and. il was even doubted if the
Me1icans would defend their capital.
Expectations ofthis nature have proved
