On the Sd instant, decree for the disso-
luton Of the Chambers was published in
Mexico by Canalizo, by the order of Santa
Anna, who was at Quelaro with some 1900
men, on his march against Paroles. The
excitement caused in Mexico by this decree
was immense, and the chambers made three
protests and proclamation to the inhabi-

hidden, with the exception of thai infamous
organ of The tyraHf, the "Diario del Gobie-
rus" This was adding fuel to the fire, and
the excitement became so great and go
general in every class Of society, that Cam
alizo assembled all his troops, about two
thousand in number, within the palace and
shut himself up with them and his four
ministers.
On the morning Of the 9th, public feeling
burst out 10 a general rise, and all the most
respectable part Of the male community
presented themselves, arms 10 hand, TO-
gaiheF with the lnyyos PaP.slaso ;ss-sie -osr

had assembled, after having been driven
from the Chambers, and from thence
marched up en- masse to the Palace and
demanded the surrender Of Canalizo, giving
him two hours to reflect before they COM
menced hOstiities.
CanaIizo, far from being willing to listen
to reason; prepared to make a sorlie at the
head Of his troops, and having called upon
them to follow him, one Of his chief officers
replied that be was The soldier Of no ty-
rant, but of the nation, and shouted out
"Vva ell Congreso!" which was echoed
throughout the ranks. CanaIizo thus find
ing himself alone retired in CONSERVATION
to his apartments, and having assembled
his ministers, demanded from the populaee
and The troops, now united, quarters for his
own life, and that Of his ministers. To
this it was replied that he should receive
only the guarantee Of trial; upon which,
finding that nothing better could be done,
he surrendered himself and was placed un-

minister of War and ST. Rejon, having es.

The populace then proceeded 10 the town
house and took the portraits Of Santa Anna
from the Aeunlaminto, and dragged it thrO'
the streets, making ten thousand pieces Of
it, that each one might have piece as a
trophy. They then overthrow the famous
statute of him which has been erected in
the middle of the public square, and after
having decapitaled it, dragged the trunk in
triumph through the streets. This done
they marched to the Pantheon Of ST. Fer
nandO, where Santa Annals leg was inter-
red with go much ceremony. The monu-
ment containing il was destroyed in the
lwinklng Of an eye; and the embalmed leg
was dragged forth and kicked through the
