Gen. Scott has determined to push on to the city of
Mexico, without waiting for further reinforcement or
supplies. He has adopted the policy of Cortez, who
two hundred years ago, on the very shore now
pied by troops, collected together his ships, and
in the presence of his little army, drops his base of
operations at Jaapa and, without reserve, pushes
on towards the city, of which he has, this, become
the second conqueror. He left Jalapa with but
5000. Of these, 5000 volunteers, whose term
Of service will expire abon the time he reaches the
capital.
Pucba has already sent in deputation to surren
der that noble city.
If a wariike population of so 900, such as that of
the ancient city of the Tascaans so promptly yielded
to our arms, there is to apprehend that any
further resistance will be offered to the progress of
our army When last heard from, Gen. Worth's out
posts were thrown forward ON the road to Puebla,
eighteen miles from Perote.
On last Friday week, his whole division, consitut-
ing the vanguard of the army, took up their line of
march to Pueba, with strong seigc train. On the
Monday following, Patterson would follow, with the
volunteer force. Twggs brings up the rear, with his
force of regulars Gen. Scotts force small to
spare any details for garrisoning the towns in his
rear, and keeping open his communications. His
hope that the new force 10 be sent to him. will be
able to clear his rear, and forward his supplies.
Surrender Of the City Of Mexico.
immediately before the James l.. Day started from
Vera Cruz, Major Leonard, who is stationed there,
sent an officer on board to inform Gen. Pillow that
an express had just arrived from Gen. Scott. with
despatch, in which it stated that deputation of
Mexican citizens from the capital had arrived at the
Generals headquarters, inviting him TO advance,
surfing him that it would surrender him without OPP
position, and asking his protection of their persons
and property. To such favorable terms Gen. Scott
assented. He is therefore, on his way to- if not al
ready in the "Halls of the Montezumas Della,
11th.
Thus the surrender of the city of Mexico is no
longer rumor, but is confirmed by an express from
Gen. Scott, and may fairly conclude that our gal
liant army is now "reyeing in the halls OF the Mon.
tezumas"
