The Assembly, for the formation Of the new Con-
stituon and revision Of the acts OF the Admnistra-
ton toward which the attention OF all is at present
directed, have met every day since their ins.alla-
ton, talked and wrangled good deal, and have
done but one thing That was, however, almost
Unanimous, and meets with general appreciation.
This ia the confirmation of the appointment made
by Gen. Alvarez of Comonfort as President OF the
Republic. He will Of course continue as such I'M
Ill an election takes psce under the projected new
Constitution. Nothing else has been concluded "a
vet except 10 name the different committees which
have no business before them. a Deputy pro-
posed the other day, that these committees should
be urged To proceed and finish their business, when
one of them alleged there was none before them, and
asked whether they should proceed of themselves,
without waiting Cor the direction OF the Assembly,
or confne themselves 10 matters which should be
passed TO them by the same. The Delegates dlsa-
greed on this point some being of the opinion that
they cOuld 90 in respect TO the revision OF bus
uess corresponding 10 their respective departments
and others the contrary. The Committee on War
said they had commenced their Investigations, and
were of the opinion that the rest ofthe committees
shOuld take the initiative in the revision and APP
prOyai or otherwise OF the acts Of santa Anna's
Government or of the present one. The Commit
tee on the Constitution said that they meet every
night, the principal points Of the Constitution
have been discussed, and the general bases OF the
same decided upon; but that they would not be
made public yet, as alterations might still take
place as to some particulars. Several methods OF
proceeding have been proposed for the commit.
tees, but have not, it appears, been finally liked
upon by the Assembly Most of the sessions have
been in secret much 10 the displessure OF the
Press in general, and dissatisfied individuals allege
hat they have been treating upon the private
business of SPECTATORS such as that OF lLZerdl
and others. The principal business OF this Assem-
bly, is 10 revive the acts of the Administration OF
Santa Anna and of the present one, and approve
or disappsOve the same, 10 name President,
(slready done and TO make constitution. There
does not appear much unity among them, for not
even the most simpl. proposition is made but there
must be fiery debate upon it.
The President left here on the 18th nit. to take
command OF the troops now on the way against
HarO Y Tamariz at Pueblo. This will BOT hinder
him from dispatching his usual business, as the
distance he will be oil will only be slight incon-
venience. We have nothing very reliable from the
scene of their operations, nor in regard to the
same except that very soon Puebla will be be-
sieged and the Government have force OF ii ,JOO
men, 20 pieces Of artillery, and two months am
munition; therefore defeat of Haro Ismsrz
must be looked for soon. The Government troops
have not yet arrived at Puebla, and | suppose the
