received our file of Mexican papers to the 26th
uIt, inclusive. We extract from them whatever
we find of importance.
From Ell Monitor of the 23d, we learn that on
the evening Of the l8th Paroles and the other
chiefs of the insurgents escaped only four or five
of inferior grade having been captured. The whole
force of the insurgents had dispersed, leaving their
baggage and stores in the hands of Bustamente.
Business was recommended in Guanaiuato the
same evening. 1t had been supposed that Paroles
had gone to Granaditas, but some Americans
brought word to Bustamente that such was not the
case. Parties of troops sent out in all direc-
tons to arrest him.
1t s said that Jarauta captured through
mere accident, by Col Carrasco who not know
| ing him, mistOok him for GuanajunLe7lO. Jarauta,
however, discovered himself to Carrasco, and
begged him not to deliver him to Corta2ar, who
| had threatened to shoot him. No attention
! however paid to his request, and the result is
known TO our readers.
The Governor of Aguascalientes had precipi-
lately fled on the approach of a body Of the Gov
eminent forces. 1t will be remembered that he
had expressed himself favorably to the schemes of
! Paroles.
The Ayuntamiento of Aguascalientes had petit
toned Congress to be recognized an independ
ent State. In theory, Aguascalientes has always
been attached to Zacatecas, but has never recog-
nized the supremacy of the latter.
! Ell Siglo sees a good reason for refusing the
request, in the known turbulent disposition of the
people of Aguascalientes, and the disturbances of
which the Department has recently been the
theatre. "What impudence !' says the SiglO, " to
ask a reward for disafection and rebellion

plan of the comprehensive translate from Ell
SigIo-was to enter the gardens of the Palace
and seize the President, and, if possible, his min
listers. This part of the plan was to be executed
by the battalion of San Patricio, under command
| of Lieut. Col Riley. At the same time about two
hundred deserters from the regular army, were to
ATTACK the battalion del Independencia,' stationed
in the Customhouse, while another party was to
take possession of the Cathedral.
The frequency ofreports of this nature, the know
ledge that every good citizen would sustain order
and the laws, and its confidence in the National
Guard at first induced the Government to disCredit
the rumors of the existence of the conspiracy.
Every precauton was however taken, and on the
evening of the 22d it became matter of certainty
that the conspirators had determined to carry ont
their designs that night. Two or three of the Ma
tOnal Guard were attacked in the street by some
officers. In the meantime, Riley's movements
becoming very suspicious, the Government deter
mined TO arrest him. He was surprised and cap
tured in the house No. II Mednas street, together
with the master of the house, d. Felix Benites,
Lieut. Col. Garcia Ugarte, and the famous d. EgiO
Romero. In another house, the printer Naldes,
Capt OrtOl, and seven Others were arrested. Not
outstanding the capture of the leaders, fears Of an
outbreak were entertained during the night. The
National Guard was under arms, and the cannon
at the palace were ready loaded. The company of
San Patricio being suspected of disaffection, was
sent out of the city to the garta of PeriviIlo, and
shortly afterwards received orders to march against
