P. S.-Snce the above was written, we have
received a thousand and one rumors from the city.
The report that Bustamente is approaching with
some 6OOO troops is renewed, as well as the ac-
count of the advances of Perades upon the capt.
tai. All the shops in the city are closed, and con-
sternatIOn still reigns. Many will have it, the
evidence being their own proper eyes, that the
MezIcans are throwing up breas! works and con-
structing batteries at different points, and they say
too that Santa Anna either is desirous of gaining
time, or else to make Que of the main conditions
of peace that he is to be supported by American
arms against any faction that may rise against
him, in this they are probably more than half
right.
