eight hours was granted by Gen. Scott.
We publish to day second edition oi
/ our paper Of yesterday, 10 order TO give
our readers the articles Of the armistice
which was granted by General Scott. We
copy all the documents which we hud in
the Diario del Cobierno. Some of the
communications are in the Spanish Lam
% guage. The want Of time kepts us from
translating them, as the steamer leaves
this morning for New Orleans. They will
q be understood. We will issue an extra,
il possible, before the Mary Kingsland
,eaves, with Santa Annas Manifesto.
These documents we have had transla ed
