The following extract is taken from a
letter written from the camp before Guere-
taro, dated April goth, 1867:
- Miramon having asked for q
suspension Of hostilities and permission TO
have an interview with his former personal
friends, Gen. Rocha and Coils Montesinas
and Gallardo, 1t was granted The latter
advanced towards the river, and Miramon
stood on the bank opposite; he proffered To
them an armistice, during which con-
ference should be held in the City of Mex
leo to decide upon the form Of the future
government Of Mexico. The Liberal Of
fcers laughed at his proposals, and in.
formed him in turn Of the capture Of
Pueblo and the defeat Of Marquee, which
Miramon was very reluctant TO believe.
