MrxIco. Nov. 26, 1877.

Adyices we're received to-day from Que.
re,aro to the 23d inst. The Puros were
making a srea, deal Of trouble, and charg
irg the Government with making secret
armisiice with General Scott. The Min
is,er of Relations stated that he had re.
ceiyed a note from Mr.. Trlst, which was
answered 10 the same manner that the
Minister Of Santa Anna answered the note
Of The American Commissioner before the
late armistice. The Puros we're looking
10 Santa Anna for aid in another revolu-
ton. They were also expecting the ART
val of American troops at Queretaro, not
wilbsianding the pretended arrtls'ice be.
tween Rosa and Gen. Scott. The Gov.
ernors were in session and in conference
with the Ministers. Some excitement was
occasloued By one Of the Governors, whose
name is not given, making public the Pr'
yate deliberations and secrets OF the Coun.
Gil. He is SAID to be a partisan OF Santa
Anna, whose finger is plainly ia be seen in
this. The sacrament OF the Holy Ghost
has been administered 10 Gen. Herrera,
from which would infer that there is 10
hope Of his recovery.
