IN similar manner, having been attacked by

The accounts from the capital are of the most
unpleasant nature; il appears that the city the
scene OF popular commotion for several days a
the beginning Of the month. and that the indivdut
ais at the head OF the government had been taken
prisoners, or overswed in such a manner that the
government was considered no longer free aud I'M
constrained, and the states OF Puebla and Vera
Cruz had refused TO obey its authority until re-
leased from such control. Gen. Calder ron had ia
sued proclamation at Osjaca, in a smilar tone,
/ 'nenacing the Partzans ot Guerrero; and his ar
my and thVt OF Santa Ana were preparing TO march
for Mexico. or any other point necessa~;.

IT was OH account of the apprehe nsion OF the
storm at Mexico, tia. the Congress determined to
leave the capital. They left the Ministers in the
exercise OF sufficient powers, and the faction had
| Obliged them 10 appoint such officers they
pleased.
We have been favored with Che following ex-
tracts from ielters:--
