The destruction of the bridge and the events in Osgiliath were relayed to the Council of Elrond by Boromir, who had witnessed them. After the Council, it is said that Elladan and Elrohir went 'down the Silverlode into a strange country'. They would have told Celeborn what was discussed at the Council.

My guess would be that Gildor sent one or two of his company to Rivendell. It was nearly a month from the time Frodo left Bag End til the hobbits and Strider were found by Glorfindel, so there would have been ample time.

Denethor was regularly viewing the Palantír of Minas Anor. Though he kept secret the source of the intelligence he gathered with it, I think it likely he discussed the things he learned with his advisors. Bits of that information could have filtered down to the populace in Minas Tirith, if they weren't outright told what was going on.
