CAPITULATION OF THE SPANISH ARMY
At TAMPICCl

agreed between the commanders OF the Spanish
and Mexican forces Tampco, for the surrender Of
the former to the Inter. We have been induced to
make full translation of these articles, inasmuch
they are in the principal points, completely at vari-
unce with the accounts OF the terms at surrender
which reached us last week by the way Of New-Or
leans. Ii will be seen, that instead of the Spanish
troops being permitted to- retain their arms, and be-
ing conveyed To Havana at the expense of the Mex
ican government, they were required to surrender
their arms flags, and munitions of o the Next
cans; to be At the expense of their transporta-
ton Hnvana; and also To be at the of main
timing aud attending such of the sick sol le,s
could not be Immediately removed. In the additional
articles the stipulation VIII also be observed, that the
Spanish general, officers, aud troops, are solemnly
pledged never to return, nor to take up against
the Mexican Republic. The terms of captulation
show that the triumph Of the Mexican forces over
their enemies has been complete, and that the failure
OF the Spanish Invading Expedition has been de-
clsive the warmest friends of South American
liberty could desire.
The information which we published on Saturday
relative TO the landing oil Spanish force the Pa
cihc coast of the Mexican Requisite, leaves room
10 doubt that this latter movement intended 10
mid the invasion this side by causing distraction
OF the defensive measures OF the Mexicans aud 10
give more imposing effect to the Quixotic scheme
OF sihlugating that country.
