SEES suffered by hem by the fight and
the partial sacking of the town. Gen.
Butler has requested Major Polk, now
the senior officer Of command engaged
in the fight, in the absence OF Gen.
Lane and Col. Hays, to inform him
how far those people are deserving OF
remuneration. Major Polk is colec
ting evidence to show that their reports
of their losses are greatly exaggerated,
and which will also show that the town
must have been almost exclusively in
habted by guerillas and their accom-
plices. Nearly every house and store
in the town had articles in them, which
bore evidence Of having been robbed
from the trains. d. S.

Senators and deputies are arriving
here daily from all parts of the States
of the republic. Those who are here
meet frequently in caucusses, (juntas

month.
The number ofdeput:es wanting for
quorum now is sixteen to eighteen,
and the number of senators wanting is
four.
The army of reserve, and the NUM-
tions, have left here under Gems. Bus
tamente and Minon, for San Luis Po-
tosi, under the pretext ofpreserving or
der and tranquility, which are threat
ened by the rising of the Indians of the

All the opinions expressed up to this

gress are in favor of peace.

take place in a few days from the Am
erlcan troops quartered about the city
OF Mexico; and it is further said that
several agents have left this place in Or
der to facilitate the deserton.
1t is fact, that in the named
departments there are no, only Amer.
can soldiers but also American officers,
who have deserted within short time.
Amongst them is an artillery officer,
who deserted SIX days ago, and they
have left this place in order to organ

DECLINE OF HEATHENIsM.--It is a remarkable

boininable rites of the heather are gradually com
