Sion 10 the city of Mexico 70 reopen hego-
, ,, with Mr.. Trist. The COMMISSION
srs were Seniors Couto, Atrlstain ana Cue
vas and Gen. Rincon the FIRST two having
been ON former commission.
Mr. Trist's powers had been revoked
nr;or to the arrival of the commission, and
"a General Scott possessed no powers to
treat with them, it is presumed they were
referred TO our Government at w ashlngton.
The next most important intelligence by
tb;s arrival. is the reported arrest of Gen.
Worth. Gen. Pillow, and Lieut.. Col. Dun
can nv Gen. Scott. The verbal report is,
that letters written by these gentlemen, re-
Aectine upon the commander-ln-cfief, have
fallen into his possession, upon which he at
once arrested them.
Gen. Scott has addressed communica-
tion TO the municipal authorities of the city
of Mexico, in conformity with the directions
of our Government, and the general orders
published in our supplement to-day. All
the revenues of the city are to be approPri-
ated to the United States, to be disbursed
bv the direction of our officers, and the
troops are to be provided by the city with
quarters, SC. free of expense.
In the election of President, on the 18th
ult.. there were two bahotings. Upon the
first. Anaya received seven votes, Cumpli-
do seven, Pedreza two, and Ibarra one
Upon the second ballot, Anaya received ten
votes and Cumpldo seven. The vote was
by States. oA94 AV@IaA
The debate upon Senior 0tero's PROPOSE
ton to restrain the President from aliena-
ting any territory save Texas, is said to
have been very piquant. The exact vote
upon il was % in favor of it, and 46 against
it. Congress had, by an equally decisive
vote, refused to publish the debate upon it.
We have the reply of the late President,
Pena Pena, TO Santa Annals demand up
on him to turn over to the latter the govern
ment. 1t is brief and dignifed. 1t reiter-
ates that his authority as President has been
acknowledged by every State and by Con-
gress as strictly constitutional, and then an
nounces to him Anaya's election.
The Aero Iris, of the 7th, records trag-
ic affair which took place in the village of
Medelin on the evening of the 4th inst. A
detachment of American soldiers was quar-
tered there for the night. About 1 O'Clock
some of them started for ball in the vii
iage, but with perfectly peaceable inten-
tons Some of the party at the ball took
alarm, however, and one of them, black
fellow and guerrilla, went TO the door and
discharged pistol at the advancing Ameri-
cans The Americans Immediately return
ed the fire, killing six persons and wound
ing ten, one of whom died shortly after
wards. One of the wounded was wo-
man. Great praise is bestowed on the
American commander for restraining his
men. They gave only one discharge of
their guns. ne outrageous ACT OF lne
black fellow, it is confessed, led to all the
difficulty.
El Registro Official, of Durango, No
vember 4th, says that news had reached
there, by express from Chihuahua, that the
North Americans were marching TO the in
vasion of that State, and that whatever was
possible would be done to resist them.
The Indians have made an incursion into
the State of San Lnis Potosi, and approach
ed very near the capital.
The following items are from the Arco
Iris, of the Sd inst:
By last accounts, Gen. Filisola was at
Queretaro with force of 1000 men. The
general-in-chief, Bustamente, had yet his
headquarters at Guanajuato, with an army
of 9,G00.
Many members Of Congress, displeased
with the election of the new President, gave
up their seats, and retired in disgust from
the city of Queretaro.
However, there remained yet more than
the fixed number that is required to form a
quorum.
