particulars:
The Arcorias had received letters
from Mexico, under date of the 9th.
stating that the proposition Of Commits

sequence of which Gen. Santa Anna
invoked a counsel OF guards, who de-
cided that notice should be immediate.
ly gwen to General Scott, that the ar.
mls!ice was at an end, and the 9Th was
then appointed for the recommence-

On the 9Th September, Gen. Scott
addressed letter to Gen. Santa Anna, !
from Tacubava, accusing him ofhaving
violated Sc, eral articles of the arms

The American army TO obtain supplies
from the city Of Mexico. Gen. Scott
demanded an explanation and repara-
