When the United States Army, under Winfield Scott captured and occupied Mexico City during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). I would not consider Toronto to be a foreign capitol, rather a colonial capital.

Either Mexico City, as the guys have already said or, Toronto.
During the war of 1812, U.S forces battled the British at Fort York (Toronto) and conquered it momentarily. That was the provincial capital of Upper Canada and therefore the main "capital" of British dominion over Canada. They also set in fire the Parliament building, and the British took revenge later burning Washington.
Up to ypu to consider York (Toronto) a "foreign capital"...

Oddly never. Since the US has never invaded another country, a 'capital' has ever been conquered by them. The US's involvement in foreign wars has only exacerbated this problem as our soldiers are merely 'police' rather than full fledged invasion forces.
Ack, forgetting my high school history. Yeah, Mexico. Give the points to the smart guys below. LOL

In 1847-48 when Scott led his forces into Mexico City.

I also would say that the first instance of this would be Mexico City during the 1846 war with Mexico.

Not sure, but I would guess it was Mexico City during the US/Mexican War in the late 1840s.
