ADVANCE OF GEN. SCOTT UPON
THE CITY OF MEXICO.

Late advices state that Gen. Scott has
commenced his advance upon the capital.
The taking Of Vera Cruz opens a direct
passage to the city of Mexico. The dis
lance is about go miles over an excellent
road. There are several points upon it
susceptible of defence, but in the present
distracted state of both Government and
Army, it is scarcely probable that any de-
termined or effective resistance will be Of
fered.
What effect all this may have upon the
negotiations for peace, remains to be seen.
