to make his entry into the capital the evening of the 9TH
He had issued manifesto to the nation; but we regret
that have copy of it, 1t to be published in FL
Republican, of the Goth, which is day later than we
have received
We have two letters from the vaorous general giving
of his military operations The first is dated
May g. and in it he tells The Secretary of War, that since
his arrival OriZaba, he had been organizing guerilla par
ties both infantry and cavalry in the vicinity Of Orzaba,
of Cordova and Vera Cruz; that he had collected the
scattered remains OF his Ceo Gordo foces improved the
brigade from Oaaca, under Gen. Leon reinforced and
remounted cavalry force, which he had stationed at
San Andres and lastly fitted for service seven pieces of
artillery which are at Orizaba and Cordova. The re-
suit of all these labors is, according to him, that
guerilla parties already at work between Jaapa and
Vera Cruz three battaons, organized with l470 of
those dispersed at Cero Gordo more than 200 horses
collected quantity of infantry equipments prepared;
and finally 800 men, with seven pieces of artillery put
in movement, who would enter Puebla the 10Th May.
He tells the secretary that he had left command in the
TERRA caiiente Colonel Cenobio; the district of Cordo
va, d. Thomas Marin, who commanded at Alvarado
when Commodore Conner attacked it in Huatuxco, Gen
eral Hernandez; and in Orizaba General Teran He
announces that he himself on his march to Pucba,
compelled to that by his extreme restitution He
has only had 900 to do all he has DONE and thinks he
could easily have ten or twelve thousand under

FL Republiodno of the 10th announces that General
Bravo has proposed to the supreme government that the
American prisoners should be sent off successfully and
with due security to Tampico to be released, nasmuch
Mexican prisoners taken at the Angoslura and Cerro
Gordo had been released without condition This is the
first mention of those unfortunate prisoners which
recolect TO have seen in the Mexican papers.
The Republ'caao is again endeavorIng TO arouse the
fears of the Mexicans against the Vaccinations of mon
archica party 1t copies, with this view long letter from
Paris published in Madrid journal, indicating that
monarchy is the sole salvation for Mexico. The Re-
pubIcano intimates that the agents OF such party
still secretly work in Mexico, and that traces OF
their operations have lately been discovered in Puebla
The same number of this paper announces that Con-
gress had completed its work of forming constitution
and congatuates the country upon the termination of the
great work The constitution is described so much
a novelty and an innovation as modhcaton and I'M
provenent of the old constitution OF 1924.
In the same paper of the 18th, il is announced that
new opprobrium was about 10 fall on their unhappy
country, consequence OF dissolution OF Congress,
which some extreme parsans OF the PuroS section were
determined TO force on Congress compelled to adj

having purposely withdrawn to bring about this result
There were twelve deputies pledged, according to the
Republican,, to pursue like course to prevent there
being sufficient number of members present promu
gate the new constitution, which had been adopted by
large majority Rather than submit to the indignity OF
being thus rendered poweress, it was said that the ma

y manifesto to the nation How this affair was settled
the papers do not tell u.s. but the disgraceu dssenson
in the chief legislative assembly of the nation shows the
country in no state to resist foreign foe.
