The dispute between the executive and legsla.
tive powers Of the new State of Gueyrero has been
referred to the General Congress for settlement
Gen. Alvarez persists that the members who sece
ded from the Legislature. were in the wrong. dc
notthink this dispute will result in anything serious
but 1t will take long time to settle the same, az
Gen. Alvarez has commanded so long with abso.
lutte sway in the South, he cannot bear 70 have
the Legislature do otherwise than as he pleases.
The General Government is afraid of him, and
therefore they will have to delay the settlement
of the question, suppose, until both parties can
mutually come to terms.
Rumor is busy respecting the persons who are
TO compose the Cabinet Of Gen Arista. IL is
probable that Senior Yanez will take the Depart
ment Of Foreign Relations Manuel Robes, that
of War Payne as Minister of Finance and
AguiTe that Of Justice. The latter was offered
10 NJ Lacunza, but he declined.
