lFrom the New Orleans Picayune, Aug 81
Little light has been thrown since last, upon the
rumored entry Of Gen Scott into the city of Mexico
The propeller Wellington has arrived having IT Vera
Cruz on the 22d ut not so late the Massachusetts,
Tsmpieo the 2sth and Brszos the 27,h The brig
Mary Jane has also arrived from Tsmpico, having left
there on the Goth uit So far learn the latest
accounts from Tampico make no mention whatever Of
Gen scotts victory Letters OF the 25th in abundance
not word Of the entrance said to have been made
the nth eight days previously 1t is clear there was
have mentioned H. and Capt Hussey OF the Mary Jane
would have heard oft He heard nothing of the kind
ta have been interrupted by the late expedition of Col
De Rnssy We have been unable to learn have no la
ter Mexican by either of the arrivals But
the usual mail entirely broken up it would seem
II important event as the fall Of the capital must
inevitably have reached Tampico in eight nine days
transmitted 4" from mouth to mouth
fThe National finds confirmation of the Of its
ira In letter from the Brazos CT 27h which that
of scott victory had to the troops
at Matameras, parade the evening Of the Goth At
by vessel which left the Rio Grande on the Goth How
far the original rumor is confirmed by its prevalence at
Matamoras the 26th and the absolute silence in
gard to II at Tampico the day every reader
judge by glance at the map.
We have taken pains to follow to their sources
many reports In relation to Gen. Scots position We
still incline to the belief that he did not march from
Pueba before the 18TH By the map most in vogue Pue
bla is eghty-seven miles distant from the capital and
do not believe that his march will be entirely unop
| posed. We have thus barely indicated some points
