Captain Won conop, commander Of the Ariadne requir
cd his part the conditions stipulated for
ed it to be his duty in tho absence Of precise instruc
tions from his government, to abstain from joining tho
Spanish forces in their attack on Vera Cruz.
This last cventuay could not, besides, be realized
for tho very day which the interview took place
on board the Foudre proclamation from tho Mexican
General announced the approaching abandonment the
city, and forbade the inhabitants to furnish provisions
to the Spaniards.
Prevented from moving, for two days, by the fury
that Admiral Rubalcaba could succeed in send
ing to tho Governor tho summons to surrender
the place. As soon as the summons was'known in
the city It FASTENED its evacuation The Mexican General
Uraga who had been appointed fcw days previously
tho command OF the eastern army in the evening took
OF all the horses in tho place and forced all
tho owners OF beasts in the cnvrons to dcrart to dis
Of eight leagues ut the least from Vera Cruz The
different roads were cncumbsred with carts and flying
nulitudcs of people inspired with terror in the interior
Of the city tho houses were brcadcd, and foreigners
expected nothing but pillagc.
On the 18th the reply Of the Mexican authorities TO the

-four O'Clock ths afternoon and cast anchor before Vera
Cruz Of which the popuaton assembled On the terraces
OF the houses waited with sort OF unquet desire tho
arrival OF the Spanards. population Of the Ayunta.
ment0 prepared TO open the gates but the weather,
which during the day had been favorable, became bad
aud the debarcation could not be effected.
On tho 10th tho Admiral himself advanced under the
walls OF the Fort Of san Juan on board tho steam
frgats Isabel la Catclica. He joined towards the
evening BY the Don Francisco de Asss board OF which
General Gassct. On the morning OF the 18th the
Spanards entered the CITY, They there found in the fort
guns which had not been spiked and considerable
materials Of At the spanish flag ho.stcd
Vera Cruz sautcd with twenty guns by the Ad
mrals vessel
From that moment the spanards began to organize
themselves. They disembared at leisure their troops
and ammunition. But the proclamation Of Gene
raj Uraga, who denounced as traitors to their
country and threatened with death all the Mcxcans who
remained with the enemy, caused the departure Of
great nun Der Of the inhabitants Of the city Travellers
arriving the city OF Mexico found the chok,d
up with abandoned carriages and cannon and baggage
thrown to the dtches and thcy met soldiers without
arms clothing bread. Suffering great misery, and the
irritation caused thereby u may be expected that tbero
will speedily be found in the country bands Of grerrias
causing disorders against which the arrival Of the
French and English forces will be regarded by the
jorty Of the people the surest and best guarantee
Tho possibility Of modification in the political govern
ment of the country appears to many The only oil
snacing IT, for all, from an anarchy now become
noerable and there reason to think that the honest
and pcsceablc portion of the nation will receive favora
bly, under present circumstances, any measures which
while respecting their Independence and not affecting
their rropye will assure to Mexico, in durable
manner, order and security.
