It was the intention of Gen. Scott, upon the arrival of
the wagon train that was to start from Vera Cruz.about
the 6th inst., to cut off all connection with the sea coast,
rely upon the country for sustenance, and push forward
for the city. This general order, dated at Jalapa, 30th

the speedy adoption of this plan, in; consequence of the
determination of the twelve months' volunleers.in a body,

Immediately on the receipt of tho news of
Santa Anna's defeat. at Cerro Gordo, the Mexi
ran Congress held an -extraordinary session.
The following account of its proceedings is
translated from El Republicano of the ilst
April, i U comes in the shape of a preamble
ful task to chronicle the I probability of a
cessation of strife-r-to communicate; to our
readers the gladsome intelligence that
proffers of ppace are likely to be made on
tbe part ol Mexico, finding that resistance
will result only iti destruction.
That these anticipations may prove to
be realities, must be the fond desire of all
but we trust that our victorious Gener
als will not falter in their course until some
tangible Guarantees are! eiven that nnr

we can rely with conhdence, we have
headed this paragraph with a banter. If
our Loco friends intend to contest the field,
let them now bring forward their man.
Mr. Boyden has accepted the nomination
and is fairly out. A thorough-going Whig,
and an able debater, be will receive a
warm support by bis party ; and if elect-

as immediate success, was concerned, that the
ascendancy of whig principles was the only
way yf'restoring thofgovernmcnt to its purity

every unworthy appliance and to the most cor
