fast-running schooner Heroine, Capt Ensor, from
Vera Cruz whence she sailed on the Goth ult, We
are in receipt of correspondence and full files

was expected the Court would adjourn.
Gen. Scott may be expected in this city now
daily. He probably left the city of Mexico about

lengthy that it is utterly impossible to give them in
our paper of to-day. On hasy glance, we OBJ
serve no new feature in the evidence. Gen. Worth
was recalled on the 18th. We will give the pro-
ceedings in our paper tomorrow.
