The Ertraordinary also says
"The celebration Of the neg laws took pace on
Thursday afternoon, Jan. % The military pissed IN
review through our principal streets; the balconies
were crowded with people, and from some balconies
garlsnds were flung upon Gen. Osoo, the nero OF the
Acordada. The usual crowd Of dirty aud ragged
people filed the streets As for popular enthu-asm
there I'VE regret 10 say there j. little or none
in the counry) the soldiers seemei well pleased ana
the representatives OF religious societies manifested
the utmost satisfaction. The laws have been soen-
nized and put record. Reports are current on the
streets that already the new Government has filled
she Golfers Of the treasury department, which have
hpg been in the most desOlate condition. IL Is under
stood that the clergy have loaned the Government

From Querataro the E1traordiaary publishes cor
respondence dated Jan % stating that Doblado was
there with 900 men, with whom, and 300 more under
Arteaga, he intended to march against the capital
Gen. Parrodi is reported to have left Guadaajara to
join Dobla6O, but to have subsequently Tetraced his
steps, although he bad very large and superior force
under him. RumOr, however, alleges disafecton

Correspondence from Puebla, dated Jan. 70, states
that there had been numerous arrests there among
them that Of Mr.. John Vesche, formerly Prussian
Consul there.
Toluca had been entered by Gen. Miramon without
resistance and Gen. Benito Haro had been appointed
Conmandsnte. Gen Blancarte is reported to have
gone to Jasco to operate against the Constitutional
ts Juarez party, in which Senor Ruiz is Secretary
Of the Interior.
From the Ertraordiaary, also, we learn that u
Bernardo Couto had been elected President OF the
new Council Of State; Sres. Joaquin Pesado, ana the
Bishop Of Tenagrs Vice, PRESIDENTS ana Sres. Jos
ed Secretaries to the body, which consists OF one prn
spal Representative, called coRse)ero pr0pT,ear'o

and Territory of the Republic. named by the Pres-
dent Of the Republic, ard removable at VIII. II Is
divided into six sections, committees, one for each
ministerial department Of the Government, and eaos

Our readers will recolect that our last intelligence
from Mexico reported truce agreed upon. The
works Of the belgerens were to remain i'll stain qu0
under it. Trenches and breastworks were nevertne'
ks made. Many propositions were made during Tue
Up. m. Of the lSth-fring in every direction recon-
nenced. At O'Clock, on the 18TH another truce OF
three hours was agreed on and fresh efforts were
made for pechcation but In vain The hrng was
resumed with great vigor both sides at III o'clock,
aad continued till night, without having caused any
great loss Of life or effected any result for either
parties active in improving their works, and con-
tnued till III o'clock on the 2Otb Then the firing
resumed with greatly increased violence. After
time the Zulosga forces attacked and carried
the Acordada and the UOspicio, sllenclng the Gov
eminent batteries.
A column Of about five hundred men advanced to
the relief of the Acordada but it was broken up by
the fire OF the captors some were killed and wounded
many passed over and about one hundred retreaed IN
the greatest disorder. The Zuloags pronunciados
then directed heavy fire against the Convent OF San
francisco about p. M; dsifection to the Govern
ment began 10 be msnifetted at half past Gen. Com
onfort went thither to endoavor to repress but In
vain; by night he lef alone with few followers;
Of the strongest points in the city was abandoned.
Imbeeilty in the Government leaders, panic in some,
bad payment of the troops alleged to have chief
iy contributed to this result.
Sehor Comonfort left the Convent Of San Francisco
at o'clock at night, and went TO the palace. Light
Gring continued during the night, and between and
O'Clock on the morning of the 2lst Senior Comontort,
with few faithful friends retired from the palace and
Gen. Zuloaga and forces took possrssion. Only one
house that of Juan Jose Bsz is reported to have been
sacked by the rabble the pronunciados prohibiting
Not than 50 lives are believed TO have
