generous forbearance of his adversary, redoubled
his efforts, with such imprudent, eager ami
mostly, that he gave Chetwood an opportunity
of executing a manGuvre he had learned Olga
famous professor abroad, by which he wrested
the sword from Guitaub's hand, threw it up in
the air, and catching 1t in his own, courteous
ly presented the hilt TO his adversary. The
ruffian, still insensible to this second instance of
magnanimity, snatched his sword, and before
Chetwood could resume his defence, made IL
desperate push, which wounded him in the left
shoulder.
"Bloodthirsty, treacherous ruffian, exclaim-
ed Chetwood; "forbearance is no longer Vir-
tue towards such an assassin. Look to your
self, Guitaub."
Two minutes ended the contest, and the
ruffian bully received thrust that stretched
him dead on the ground. The surgeon bound
up the wound of Chetwood, which was not
dangerous, and he took his way toward the
chateau of the Baron, wishing to be himself his
own messenger.
In his absence Julia had not closed her eyes.
She sat apparently buried in profound contem-
plation, without a tear, sigh or a word, until
the sun rose and shone into her window, when
she aspirated to herself, "The hour is now
comet" and sinking on her knees, remained
with her hands clasped while her fearless eyes
were directed upward. In this situation she
remained until she heard the massy knocker
announcing visiter Then it was she was
overcome. The moment had arrived in which
her fate was to be made known to her, and the
uncertainty became insupportable. She sank
down in. ensible, and was only awakened TO
consciousness by the caresses, kisses and en-
treaties of her lover. When she saw him be-
fore her alive, she uttered a shrek of transport
and cried out.
ooh heaven be praised! have not been
your murderer! But you are covered with
blood. hope it is not that of the ruifan Gui-
taub"
"He has paid his forfeit" replied Chetwood,
''let us speak of him no more. Although he
merited his fate, am sorry it fell to my lot 10
inhict it; and ii must be the endeavor of my
future life to atone for having caused the death
Of fellow creature"
Chetwood speedily recovered, was welded
to Julia, who in after life soothed him by her
tenderness, supported him by her firmness, and
elevated him by her piety, so that not day
passed that he did not thank heaven for having
bestowed upon him the Cfeoes Daughter

Dispatches from Com. Probability Of
Peacs-1he Revolution al the Capitol, &c., &C.
The Union states that dispatches from Com
Conner, to the l4th ult (not as late by two
days as received at New Orleans have reach
ed the Navy Department. The health Of the
whole squadron was good, but the English yes
sells lying off Vera Cruz have had several deaths
on board from yellow fever. The dispatches
confirm the fact that the capitol had pronounced
against Paroles, and that nearly all the depart
ments have followed suit. The revolution is
Ietogether military movement. 1t is said the
new Ministry are all in favor of making peace
Immediately with the United States, and Of
calling new Congress to form liberal con-
stitution.
A strong party exists in the country opposed
to Santa Ana, which, it is likely, will operate
to make him DESTROYS of peace, should he even
be able to obtain power without fighting for it.
At all events the distracted and impoverished
condition Of the country, with a knowledge of
the power of his opponents, will prevent his
sending any considerable number of troops to
the northern frontier.
The following, translated for the Union, is
the plan adopted and proclaimed by the inhabi-
tants and garrison of the city of Mexico, and
acceded to by the late government ON the 9Th
of August, 1916:
Art. /. Instead of the present Congress- an
other shall assemble, composed of representa-
tives popularity chosen according to the cleo
/. e h. a. &c d
whose duty shall be as we'll to frame consti-
tuition for the nation, adopting the form Of gov
eminent which they may deem in conformity
with the national will, as to take charge of all
matters relating to the war with the United
States and the affair of Texas and other frontier
departments. The monarchial form of gov
eminent, which the nation evidently detests,
shall be excluded.
Art. 2. All Mexcans faithful to their coun-
try, including those out Of the country, are
called upon to give it their services in the pre-
sent national movement, for which purpose
very particular invitation is given to his excel
lency, the well deserving General Antanio Lo-
PEE de Santa Ana, who is from this time recog.
nized as general-in-chef of all the forces en-
gagged and resolved to combat in order that the
nation may recover its rights, secure its liberty
and govern ITSELF
Art. 8. Until the sovereign Congress shall
assemble and adopt the requisite measures fol
the war, it will be the indispensable duty of the
executive to dictate such measures as may be
argent and necessary to sustain with honor the
national flag, and this sacred duty must be dis
charged without the loss of single moment.
Art. A. Within four months from the occu
patton, by the iberating forces of the capital o
the republic, the Congress referred TO in the
first article must be assembled, for which pur
pose it will be the duty of the general-in-chie
to issue the order of convocation, in the term
!, indicated, and to take care that the elections
proceed with all possible liberty.
Art. 8. The existence of the army is guar
antied and it is assured of such attention ant
protection as are due to the we'll deserving
