He also says that Mar- quez bas abandoned Tecubaya and Chapullepec. Both aqueducts supplying water to the city bad been cut off, and no food came into the capital. Thore wers, how- ever, several artesian wells in the city, which could sup- ply the inbabditants with water, This gentlemen spoke with a courier from Querétaro on the 28th, who deciared that place to be more closely Pesioged than ever and that the garrison were out of cannon balls and wore firing stones in place of them. The general opinion in Mexico was that unloss assist. ‘ance came from Querétaro, and that quickly, the capital would have to surrender. ‘Thore are two imperial men-of-war in the harbor of Vera Cruz; iron Ciy@e bailt steamers.

However Conflicting the different accounts received may be, they are of a Lighly important charactor, Ac- @ording to the news obtained from liberal sources, dated Vora Cruz the 3d inst,, it is reported that ‘Maximilian, with eighteem thousand men, was stili surrounded at Querétaro by a liberal force of thirty-two thousand men ; there was 10 chance for the former to avoid defeat if ‘ey ventured on an action, considering the forces in direct operation against them. It was not, however, the {atention of the Hberals to take either Queréiaro, Mex. ico or Veta Craz by astault, They were not consi‘ered Worth the great sacrifice that would be entailed. “Diaz ts represented to be a common sort of a man, but a man of action; neither a crue? commander nor rash when his cbject can in the end be attained without mach sacri- co. The other generals were oriered to follow his steps, and, therefore, all will depend upon the fate of Mexico, tlic capital, Afier the defeat of Marquez noar Apizaco, he wagran into the city of Mexico by Diaz, ‘who was in close purauit, The city was vigorously at~ tacked, and Diaz ebtained possession of Guadaloupe and the outer parts of the capital, called San Cosme and Et Nifio Perdido, Passengers from Vera Cruz deny the death of General Miramon, but state that the rest of the imperialist fo- ports are devoid of truth.
