The Herald's San Luis POtosi, Mexico,
correspondent, writing March 9th, says:
The Liberals in front of Queretero are
rapidly closing around the city to give
the "coup de grace to the empire. Es-
coboda writes that on the 9th inst. he
had closed his lines in upon the city of
Coruna, occupying the west and south
west along line of elevations which
command the city and Toverino, with
the army of the north occupying the
west and northwest outskirts of the
place. All was expected to be ready
for an assault to-day, and letter to
Minister Leredo, from CaddO, states that
he believes it will not require more than
three or four days longer to finish up
the work at that point.
He says that while moving his troops
around the place, la-ge clouds of dust
were observed, as if the Imperial army
was retreating from Mexico, but this
cloud was seen to move toward Guetre-
tero, Us soon as it was evident that it
might be outflanked. He also states
that there is the greatest discord pre-
vailing among the Imperial officers; that
they are divided in council and cannot
determine what measures to take; and
that the army is almost in n starving
condition.
