ARMY NEWS

we announced, in brief postscript last paper,
hat Gen Scott, after sanguinsry battle. the CITY
Oh Mexico, had entered in triumph 1.-THE imperial city Of
me Azlecs and in another column the reader will find
the grounds upon which this based We have
materially abridged the statements in tho New Orleans
papers, in consequence Of the general belief tina, the
rumor was premature. That Cen scot, is In possession
Ut The Mexican capital at this time. do not doubt,
but We think very doubtful whether he had entered
on the l7th July. The New Orleans P,cayune says !;
SIT Gen. Scott entered Mexico on the 9TH ul,, this
would be nine days for the to reach Nlaiamoras-
distance Of 24O leagues by the way Of San Luis Po,os
and the Tula pass. Tho time s amply sufficient for the
transmission Of the news but we have dates to the Goth
from Tampico also, which is several hundred miles near
er the capital and yet not word Of Gen Soous vc,o
y."
The Washington Union at first also dscredted the ru
MOI but In the last number Of tina, paper find the
suhjo'ned paragraph, which, would seem to imply a
change Of opinion
awe disposed 10 ,licve that Gen Scott is now in
possession Of the Capital Of Mexico Whatever mystery
may surround the promuga'ion Of the by the Mas
sachusets steanershe having arrived from Vera Cruz
at New Orleans on Thursday week, and the news no,
published until Saturday evenng-yet We have heard
key assigned for lis solution II is certain that letter
from most respectable in New Orleons profess
es 10 explain II IN rather romantic manner.
"a young lady al the city of Mexico il said to have
written 10 Mexican in New Orleans, on the 10Th ut
that the families were quitting the city in consequence
Of the advance Of the Yankees and adds postscript on
the 7ih, (by the courier that Gen. Scott then en-
ering the city. This letter kept back by the Mex
lean. from tender regard 10 the fair auhoress.
"Wo understand, too, TO day. that another letter has
been received at the department. from high military of
hcer stating that the receipt of this letter from Mexico has
been made known to him from the authentic source
''Ihe fact must, at all events, be ascer,aned in the
course Of this week"
The possession Of the city of Mexico is. Judg
ment. mater Of importance in reference to
its influence in terminating the If General Scott
has been permitted to occupy the city indeed, ,rhoa
bdttle we should regard it a decidedly unfayorable in
dicaon as, if the Mexicans had been disposed to nego
tate for peace upon the terms proposed to them, they
would certainly have avoided the modification Of seeing
their splendid capital in the possession Of the Yankees"
by concluding treaty while Gen Scot, still remained
Puebla. Nor perceive that The occupation Of the
City will in the eas, strengthen Gen Scott all di-
mn'sh the resources parayze the energies the Mex
leans themselves. On the whole, are inclined 10 fear
that we are about far from having conquered peace
as we were year ago.
