ScorT's ARMIsTIcE. i In the Indiana Journal Of
Sept. Goth appeared the following, which showed very
plainly that the Journal was ready either to approve
or condemn the armistice according il might turn
out to have been directed by Gen. Scott or by the
diplomatic agent of our government, Mr.. Trist II
Scott had ordered the armstice, it would have been
all right; but if it had been made at Mr. Trsts sug-

to give the answer After the two battles Gen. Scott
met with proposition for armistice give the

promises anywhere:

with Senior Bermudcz de Castro, Minister of Spain to

the American camp at the termination of the action
OF Churubusco did understanding with Santa
Anna. They represented to General Scott that the
Provisional President anxious and disposed to
enter into negotiations for peace, but that his stua-

Scott would propose armstice under the conditions
which were adopted, he would enter into negotiations
