My prediction is realized. Gen. Santa Anna has had

with enormous points of exclamation, II. n. s. H. has
just achieved q stupendous victory. On the 18th Of

The police have just discovered great conspiracy.
On the day before Good Friday Indian from the South
entered the house of Senior Cendeas ancient depu
ty man OF talent, and well known for the warmth of
his democratic opinions. Cendejas is the brother Flaw
Of Romero, and friend Of Alvarez II not mistaken,
he representative from the city of Guerrero The
Indian arrested by the police 1t affirmed that he
emssary of Alvarez and was charged with impor
tant instructions and dispatches for Cendejas There
upon the latter was apprehended, his correspondence
searched and he sent to Santa Annals camp to be
tried 1t reported that he has been shot without any
investigation of his This is quite possible, but my
opinion is that Santa Anna wished to get of
wanted Guermo Preta has been arrested for no cause
assigned. The conspiracy which have just mentioned
seems to have existed on paper only for very sensible
prospectus discovered and has been published by the
journals here.
Business is getting and worse. Jobbng alone

and Escandon concluded bargain with the government

treaty They offered fifteen millions Ave hundred thou
sand dollars for fifteen millions in drafts negotiable in

compelled to pay four per cent Thus the interests
