Mexico.

The Hvelest anxiety continues 10 be felt Tor
further intelligence from The army in Mexico.
The government has not yet received the off,
cial account of the battles of Conireras and
Cherubusco 10 say nothing of the battle of Cha
pultepec and The Capture Of the Capitol The
cause of this delay is readily explained, in the
fact that the route between Vera Cruz and the
Capitol was ,hronged with GuerilIas. Our la
test authentic daes from the capitol are to the
18th Of September, if we except the letter which
was published in the NJ Y. Sun under date Of
the 18th. Thus it is exactly month to-day.
since the date OF our last positive intelligence
from the army. The rumors that have reached
Us through La Patria Of New Orleans, and the
Arco Iris, Of Vera Cruz, are Of truly exciting
and alarming character. Doubtless these state.
men's are grossly exaggerated, aud yet we can.
not but fear that they are no, wholly unfounded
II should be remembered that these various yer.
sions are, some of them at least, dated as late
as September 24th, by way Of Tampco. The
most alarming story is that related in letter
from Tampico, in which i, is stated ,ha, afisl
Gen Scott took possession of the capitol, ar
insurreciion Of the population occurred. in The
course of which they killed detachment D
1900 Americans. Further, that Santa Ann;
on hearing this, returned to the city with 10,
600 men and 25 pieces Of artillery; whereupoa
another ballle ensued, the issue Of which wa.
not known. In addition TO this We have ru
nor that Gen. Rea, had re-csp,ured Puebla
upon which the American army were firing
from the surrounding heighss. We repeat
these statements are doubtless exaggerated, bu
there may be some foundation for them.
