We feel gratfed in having it in our power to
publish the following unqualified contradiction
from the Washington Union, of the wonderful
statement which we copied from the especial
correspondent of the New York Tribune in our
last paper. 1t was marveiously strong that
we could not swallow it. but so profgately bold
that we could not pass it over, without giving it
to our readers. 1t having been cleared out of the
way now, however, makes room for another

WHERE is THE LATE DICTATE

Some mystery appears TO hang round the fate
of the late Mexican Dictator, Gen. Paredes-
Although 1t is no great matter what becomes of
him, yet we may as we'll state that the report of
his being taken prisoner and kept in the citadel
OF Mexico, is not credited by sume of the New
Orleans papers. They appear to think he had
gone out of the capital on the 3lst of July. He
may have absconded with the Mexican Sub
Treasury. Gen. Salas had issued letter of con-
vocation of Congress, on the principles of 1924
and the members are to assemble at Mnxico on
the 9th OF December next. The N. o. Plcayune
says:
eve learn that Paroles was taken prisoner
and confined, as it was his manifest intention to
employ The troops equipped for the army Of the
North to oppose the advance Of Santa Anna from
Vera Cruz, instead of marching against Gen. Tay-
lor. The revolution in Mexico followed mmedi.
ately upon the announcement of the declaration
IN Vera Cruz on the 9lst ult Some accounts say
that General Paroles is confined in the Castle Of
Peroie instead of Mexico"
