The Mexican Congress was opened with appropriate ceremonies on the 20th ult, ‘she President of the republic was present, together with his Cabinet officers, ofceis of the army, judyes, and the diplomatic corps. The gal- leries were filled with gentlemen. The speech of Sr. Gonzalez Echevarria was quite long, but to the point, and on devoted to the best means of repelling the Freush invaders. A circular had been sent to Juarez, sigued by all the represeptatives of foreign Powers at Mexico, among them Minister Corwin, protesting, amoung other things, against the threatened proscription of forcigt The Prussian especially directed fention to the m of Juan B.

Earthworks were being thrown up vpon the bills surrounding the city. The force had been divided into several divisions and assigned positions. ‘The army of the North, under command of Comonfort, had arrived in the neighborhood of Mexico, This army numbers some five thousand men, comprising artillery, infantry and cayalry, and is well drilled and equipped. ‘The Mexican //erald, in its monthly review, gives the following statements:— c On passing through Peubia ,on his return to the capital, General Gonzalez Ortega issued a decree suspending all the functions of the authorities io the States of Puebla, ‘Tlaxcala and Vera Cruz, and declaring martial Jaw in all those places.

Tn my last letter T alluded to various reasons for my bellef that the rebel army at Holly Springs would be withdrawn upon any demonstration on our part baving the appearance of @ determination to occupy that place. The success of Gen. McPherson; in the late engagement at Lamar, and the supposition tbat our entire force was in movement, Lave led to the anticipated result. For several days past some very plausible reportg of the evacuation bad been coming in, until the certainty of such a result became almost undoubted.

Our | men also learned their troops were in excellent condition, well disciplived and armed.

News reached here this evening of the death of the rebel General Villipigue, of pneumonia. This general has ‘Deen one of the most active of the rebel commanders in this region. He has figured in many of the engagements between our forces and the enomy since the opening of the spring campaign. For some time he was in command of a portion of the enemy’s troops at Holly Springs; but when he learned that the Union forces were threatening Mobile he was transferred to that city, and plaeed iu command of the forts and other means of defence against Lhe operations of our fleet. ‘The death of General Villipigue is an irreparable calami- ty to the confederacy, particularly at this juncture. The rain, of which I wrote yesterday, has ceased, leav- ing the roads in excellent condition after the sunshine aud warmth of to-day. It is very probable the ind ments of good marching for pedestrian troops will sion the movement of several divisions to Holly Springs much gooner than otherwise determined.

Information in regard to the movement of the army and the change of the plan of operation has been go wide ly circulated as to render any further reticence on the part of your correspondents unneccessary. It would have been well bad it not beea so widely promulgated for a day or two longer; but as the government has permit ted it to be published in certain newspapers it is no longer a secret, and the rebel authorities are, no doubt, now as well posted as the War Department iv regard to it. his is another illustration of the inefficiency of the present system of censorship in withbolding any roally contraband intelligence from the public. ASI wrote you from Warreuton, the plans of Genera} Burnside were perfected on Friday. On Saturday morn- ing the Second army corps, under the command of General Couch, commenced its march. Ov Sunday this was followed by the other corps, which had been en camped around Warrenton, with the exception of the | Fifth army corps and General Pleasanton’s cavalry, which broke camp at five o'clock en Monday moriing, and during the day the place was finally evacuatod and the whole army on the line of march for Fredericksburg. ‘The conviction bad become gon- eral that Fredericksburg was the point aimed at in the first instance, and that the campaign had com, menced, and that it was designed to be short, active aud effective, resulting atan carly day in the capture of Richmond and the virtual suppression of the rebcilion. ‘As the army marched throngh the village of Warren. ton the secesh inhabitants gazed with anxious eyes upon it, not knowing certainly in what direction the move- ment was to be made, but satisfied that the hour of trial and imminent danger was at band for their friends in rebellion agningt the government whose might and power were so strikingly displayed.

Gen. Burnside’s headquarters were oa Sunday moved to Catlett's Station, where they remained until this morning.

He was greatly aided by the ex- cellent arrangements of Mr. Theodore D. Irish, the gov- ernment railroad agent at Warrenton, who was also untiring in his exertions to render fully available the capacity of the road for the transmission of freight. Both of these centlemea proved them selves to be the right man to the right place. All day Sunday the road was busy reshipping tbe eur. plus of supplies and forwarding the sick aad disabled sol. diers and superoumeraries of (he army.

Even up to the mora- ing of the day when Warrenton was fioally evacuated some portion of our troops were busy im erecting Palisades, and apparently making preparations for going into winter quarters at that place. Much curiosity was manifested by the rebel sympa- thizers at Warrenten to know the meaning of the ua- wonted activity that prevailed, and also the destination of thearmy. Of the latter neither the soldiers nor the officers, except a few of the bighest rank, knew anything whatever, It isbelieved, therefore, that General Burn- side has already placed bis army two days’ march nearer ‘o Richmond than the rebel army under General Lee, and that the rebel force under Stonewail Jackson is loft in the Shenandoah valley so far behind as pot to be able to come up with the main body Lill a decisive battle bas beow fought. Jackson's foree bas unquestionably been much oxag- gerated; but it comprises some of the bost of the rebel troops, and its absence must greatly weaken the rebels iv cawe of a general engagement. Generali Sigel, with the reserves, is not so far bebind Geperal Burnside as Jackson ts bebind Lee. If the ar raugements tor trausporting supplies for the Army of tho Potomac are promptly carried out it will undoubtedly reach Hanover Junction before any considerable amount of the rebel army can be massed there, which will ailow General Burnside to elect his own ground upoa which to fight the battle (hat must occur. It wiil thus be seen that, in the adoption of tbis new, or rather old, line of operations (for it is understood to haye been the ove prepared by Generai McClelian several months ago), the difficulty of supplying the army over a long line of transportation, continually liable te ‘nterruption by rebel raids, has been avoited. ‘The rebel army has been outmancuvered, and will be forced to accept a battle elaewbere than in the strongly intvenched position that had been selected by General Lee behind the dangorous and difficult defies and cross ings of Huzel river and the Rapidao. ‘The movement is juteuded to be a rapid one aad the re- suit decisive. | The Movements of the Army of the Poe tomac, {From the Bostou Traveller, Nov. 18.) | a gentieman reached this city this morning who teft Rappahai Station, the ance position of our army in Virgins, ou Friday evening last.
