unless lis owl ends are 10 be ganed-came
out Of the city post haste on VISIT to Gen.
Scott. The next morning General Mora,
accompanied by Mr.. Auangolz, Who was
formerly Mexican consul IN New Orleans,
came cut, also on o visit 10 General Scot,
and Ga the saue day the lalter wrote ct-
ter TO the Mexican authorizes, hintlus Of
40 armislice between the two armies With
view o. opening negotiations for a peace
