our files from the capital az late as the ZSih
of NAV. This is a week later than the papers
received last week by the Oregon, and full
as late as the private advices from the capital
Santa Annals letter Of resignation is pub
lished in the papers of the 29th ult., but we
know nothing Of the action taken by Congress
on the subject. We find also a long m niles
to addressed to the nation by him a few days
earlier.
In the city Of Mexico every thing is mani
testify in state Of confusion and almost I'M
licensed anarchy. Gen, Bravo has resigned
not only his command Of general-in-Cbief, but
also his commission as general Of DIVISION
Gen. Rincon is said to have done the same
thing.
II e death Of Gen. Scott was for several
days reported in the lily of Mexico, and gen.
orally ctedited. The error was dicovered,
however, prior to the latest dates.
Gen. Ampudia has been directed to await
further orders at Cuernavaca. What suspl-
cious things he has done or contemplated we
are not informed.
Judging from the returns already received
from the different States tits pretty evident
that Herrera has been elected PresIdent-there
were M less than seven candidates, including
Santa Anna.
Gen. Valencia and Gen. Salas were ordered
to leave the city Of Mexico On the Oath ult.
for the city Of San Luis Potosi, to take COM
mand of the army Of the North.
The accounts we find in the Mexican pa
pers OF the disaffection in Zacatecas confirm
those W e published few dayssince. The official
paper Of the State publishes every representa-.
uon made against Santa Anna and in favor
of the Americans Gen. SCOTS manifesto a.
mong the latter. This latter document is al
so given in all the papers of the capital.
Gen. ,rista had refused to resume his mile
tary function until his conduct should be in-
vestigated by a military tribune. He 'emandS
that his trial may take place at once in order
that he may take part in the defence Of the
country.
We have seen a letter from one Of the Amer
lean prisoners in Mexico. 1t was dated May
%. tie had been promised liberty again and
again, but expected to be released on the Both
beyond a doubt. He writes that Gen. Scott
was expected TO enter the capital within eight
days, and he did not expect that any formida.
BILE opposition would be made to him.
Gen. Worth found in Puebla a large amount
Of tobacco belonging to the Government. 1t
might readily have been removed, and those
by whose fault it fell into our hands are Sc
verely censured in the papers.
The papers give several extracts from des'
patches intercepted with that containing Gen.
Scott's proclamation. They are not all very
Ineligible and amount to very little.
Senior Pacheco wRs named Minister Of Jus-
tiCe on the 9th ult.
In FL Republican, Of the gath ult. there is
an article upon the defence Of the capital and
he propriety Of removing the seat Of Govern
ment into the interior. The editor urges upon
the authorities to defend the lpital TO ex-
tremities, and says tina the work Of erecting
Notifications is going on actively. But this
part Of the article is not in his usual bold
strain. From The tone oft and from private let.
tiers from the capital which we have seen, we
feel persuaded that little opposition to General
Scutt's entrance into the city will be made
Ell Republican, urges strenu Susly that the seat
of Government should be at once transferred
Then should the capital fall, it urges, the Gov
eminent will still exist, and form a centre of
union and rallying point. The editor urges
ded he anticipated no formidable oppo0it on
to Gen Scott's advance.
In an earlier article upon the subject Of
the defence Of the capital, FL Republican,
sets down the troops available for the purpose
as follows: The garrison then in the capital
(the goth OF May) was NOT far from 10000 men
while there were to arrive, says the editor from
the State of Guanajuata 5000, from The south OF
Mexico 1000, from MICHIGAN 1000, and from
Queretaro 1000. We infer from illusions made
to an article in FL RasOnGdor that the latter
paper ridicules the idea Of making any de-
fence Of the city.
we see "o'nihg IN the papers ABOUT the Tor
midable works said to be going on at Rio FRO.
We are inclined to the opinion that the resist
ance anticipated at this point has been much
exaggerated. The Mexican papers which we
have seen say nothing aboutit, and speak on
~ Of the Notifications in the immediate vicini.

Five hundred infantry, perfectly armed and
equipped arrived / IN the city of Mexico on the
