i The news from Qucretaro this week
hbm been of an exceedingly meagre char-
•acter, no mail from that place having
‘been received since my last.- It seems
to be almost certain however, that the
present Congress is virtually dissolved,
snany of the members having left.
The New Congress assembles in Jan
uary, and a correspondent of El Monitor
says that many of the new Senators and
Deputies arc already on the road to
Quereuro.
A rumor was current among the Mex
icans in town a few days ago that the
-commissioners from the Mexican Gov
ernment left for Querctaro on Sunday
last, after having an interview with Mr.
Trist. It is supposed they go to have a
•new conference with the Supreme Gov
ernment on the subject of peace. This
is but a rumor. • • •
Gen. Butler will be in to-morrow, and
!Col. Johnson the next day. • •
A party of nine, who started from
General Butler's train night before last,
to join the advance, were attacked in the
mountains by a party of robbers. One
of them (a physician, I believe) fell into
the hands of the Mexicans, but they .'dis

at Ayotla. He states that he heard shots

party. As they were well armed, how
ever, there is little doubt but they es
caped. I could not learn their names.
The following are cuttings from the
American Star of the 7tb December:

whatever. Forty thousand new troops
will not save them, if war is to be the
cry; and a hundred such projects as
that presented by Perdigon Garay, will
present no obstacle to the triumphant
march of the American troops, and their
occupation of the soil they have won.
