and occupied the city up to that point. The NOR
tar had, in the meantime, been placed IN battery
IN the cemetery, within good range Of the heart of
the town, and was served throughout the night
with good effect.

however. General Ampudia had signified to Gen.
erai Worth his desire for personal interview with
me, for the purpose Of making some de6niive ar
rangement. An interview was accordingly appoin.
ted for one O'Clock, and resulted in the naming Of
commission to draw upon articles Of agreement
regulating the withdrawal Of the Mexican forces,
and temporary cessation OF hostilities The COM
missioners named by the Mexican generalin-chiei
were Generals Ortega and Requena and Don Man.
uel M. Llano, governor Of New Leon. Those
named on the American side were General Worth,
General Henderson. governor Of Texas, and Col.
Davis, Mississippi volunteers. The commission
finally settled upon the articles, Of which enclose

bly, to the provisions Of the 4th article. our troops
have this morning occupied the citadel.
It will be seen that the terms granted the Mex-
can garrison less rigorous Than those FIRST i'm
posed. The gallant defence Of the town, and the
fact of recent change Of government in Mexico,
believed TO be favorable to the interests Of peace,
induced me to concur with the commission in
these terms, which will, trust, receive the sp-
proval of the government. The latter considera-
ton also prompted the convention for temporary
cessation ofhostilities. Though scarcely warran-
since those instructions were issued seemed to war
