Tic negotiations w::is:h wcrv commenced 4
month since 1t the city of Mexico, having
failed OF accomplishing the desired end Of the
AE:cs, wcyeaiscontinucd, aud matters have re-
1noil:cd quiet, hut in Q very undecided aud
unsatisfactory state on the part Of tli: Allies
s:E.il Yesterday, w.Ieu General Dobl:do arrived
trciu tic city Of Mexico at Solcdad, 4 town
:.1..ut seventy miles distant from hare, and
which IS 1t present the headquarters Of the
t5%x;c:u forces At this place he WAS met BIZ
the representatives Of the allied Powers, and
negotiations were reoPehed. Il definite ngrce-
1ne1t Las rot been arrived at; but enough is
made known by the Spanish extra, Which WAS
Issued tbs evening land cory Of which I
send yt'u) to conyinc: any one who is ut al1
conyeTsant with the history Of this country
that Mexico is aggain the victim Of base
t1eachery-
Gen. Dob1ado, who was empowered to act
q, the pa1t cf the Iexicans, has agreed to
allow the forces of the Allies to I,a:s un1uo-
itssted the stronghold Of Mexico namely, the
Chiqi3 luiti-and occupy the cities Of Corloya,
0rizaba md Tchuaca1l- which arc the princi-
Psi and strongest fortified points to the intc-
Iior-nnI negotiations now pending and

concluded, upon condition that, should the
result Of the above named conferences be un-
favorable to lsc Allies, they promise to with
1f=1W their troops to their present position,
and allow the Mexicans their present position.
No wonder the Spaniar1s send up shout Of
victory, and 10 wonder the poor Mcxicans arc
djshcartcncd and discouraged. After holding

lessiy placed in the land Of plenty, inside Of
their 1ort'Gca.ions, ouL Of oil danger. and
where they never could have got without large
IrinfH1vclncnts and an immense sacrifice Of
life. surely history does not record another
such Al act; and: it Yet rc:a.ins TO be seen If
the Mexican people will sustain Gen. Doola;lo
