The General-in-C Chief of the citadel watt
ed until after that hour, and having re-
ceived no answer, arranged his columns
for the attack; but when they were about
TO execute the movement, the Generals
ID. Martin Carrera and ID. Jose Urea
presented themselves on the part of the
Government, and stated that Gen. ID.
Benlto QuganO was empowered as Gen
eral-in-chief to treat with the pronoun-
GERS, if both parties should appoint coir-
missIoners to meet AT a designated place.
The General-in-Chi Of the pronounced
forces drew up new communication with
this view, stating that the commissioners
appointed on his part would attend before
FIVE o'clock in the afternoon in the con-
vent Of San Francisco, where they would
await those appointed by Gen. Quijauo.
The commissioners of the chief Of the
pronuncinmeHfO attended according 10
appointment; bet those of the Govern
ment, after the lapse of more than an
hour, had not made their appearance
In consequence Of this, and of Gen. Qui-
ljanO's having sent 4 new communication,
stating that jHnfd of war would meet
at seven O'Clock in the evening, and that
reply would be given in the course of the
night, the General-in-C Chief of the pro-
nounced forces determined to wait no lon
ger, and commenced his march with two
strong columns, composed Of some IN
Iantry, body of cavalry, and some light
pieces, which, being arranged in the most
efficient manner, advanced without mee-
ting any impediment until they surround
ed the palace, the forces occupying it be-
ING confined within the limits of the prin-
cipal square.
At this stage Of affairs, General Quiia-
no promised that his commissioners would
attend at nine o'clock at night, in house
No. 10, in the first street de PIateros, Oc-
cupied by DIR. ID. Pedro Vanderlinden,
the director of the military board of health
In fact, almost an hour before the ap-
pointed time, Generals Carrera, Urea,
and ID. Ramon Morales appeared as com
missioners of the general commanding
the forces Of the Government, and on the
part of those Of the citadel, Generals Dc
Pedro Lemus, ID. Antonio Vizcayno, and
ID. Ramon Pacheco, honorary intendant
of the army. A long discussion was en-
tered into, which lasted until half after
: one in the morning, and the result Of
which was that the General-in-Chief Of
the forces of the Government was to ac-
cede TO the plan proclaimed in the citadel,
o and every article of it: it being further
determined, on the part of the pronoun-
GERS, that, in consideration Of the defer
ence and respect for the national will ma
infested by SenOr Bravo, as well as in
testimony Of the respect due to his for
mer services, he should be allowed, while
, in the capital, tile distinction Of guard
I, Of honor, such as the ordinance assigns
o to captains-general; lhat neither he nor
: lis ministers, nor the chiefs, officers, and
troops who have supported his cause,
should be mOlested; and that, Immediate
: ly upon the ratification of the plan, the
Government should cease It's functions,
I the troops defending the palace to remain
! under the orders Of Senor 81 5. The
, latter occupied the palace at three o'clock
this morning. The Ginning Of bells, the
+ beating of drums, and music Of the mile
r tary bands, rjUas from large cOncourse
for General Santa ANN, who is invoked
4 in the plan, and a salvo Of twenty-one
Q guns from the battery of the citadel, at
: davbreak, were the first celebration OF
: this event. As yet no Government has
II been organized and the General in-chief
! Of the pronounced forces is to continue il
command until the arrival of General
i Santa Anna, who is expected within
! few days.
= SANTA ANNA was received at Vera
. Cruz with every demonstration Of enthu-
siasm and joy. He arrived on the l6th
\ ultimo, on board the English merchant
steamer Arab, accompanied by his own
/ family, and Gen. Almonte, the ex-Minis-
ters Rejon and IIaro Tamariz, SenOr
: Boves, ex-Depuiy from Yucatan to the
n Mexican Congress, and several other in
S dlviduals. The Picayune says:
: "Upon the appelra C. Of the Arab OF
s Vera Cruz, Commodore CONNER repaired
. on board the steamer PRINCETON, and an
> attempt was made 10 intercept the Arab;
. but the morning was calm an! she slipped
: into port without hiudrlnce, with her val
:. liable freight. Opinions differ as to the
. intentions of the Commodore towards
,r Santa Anna, some believing that he had
. no desire to intercept him. Oa this sub
: iect We learn, by letters received by the
,r U. S. brig Perry, at Pensacola from lla-
vana, that before Santa Anna left Havana,
our Consul, Col. Campbell, had conver-
= saiion with him to the following effect:
" Col. c. inquired if the General was in
favor Of the war with the United States.
To which the General replied, You
IS know how it is; if The people Of my
1t country are for war, then am wilh them;
St knl | would prefer peaee. Before Ieav-
