kept his word. Santa Ana commenced his attack |
on the following morning and was repulsed: as
also in all the successive attacks, which he contn

flag Of truce with propositions. While Council |
of War was holding in Puehla TO determine upon
the propositions which Santa Ana, Commissioners
had to make, an utla,k was made with large pro-

however, failed in lis object, and searches were
made with reduuhleh vig ance, which we've very

Others who accompanied him, near place called
