tits settled, we believe, that the Wings gained
nothing at the election which took place last week
in the State Of Maine. The Democrats have elect
ed their candidates to supply all four Of the vacan-
cies from that State in Congress-one of them by
majority Of votes, and the other three BY pluralities
there having been three parties in the field in each
of the districts The names Of the members elect
are ASA w. III. CLAPP, in the second district
FRANKLIN CLARK, in the fourth; EPHRAIM X.
SMART, in the fifth; and JAMES S. WILEY, in the
sixth. The Democrats have also elected their Co
vernon and majority of the Members Of the Le-
gslature thus leaving the State precisely where it
was last year.

people at the same time respecting certain amend
ments proposed to be made to the State Constitu-
ton, and which are decided by majority vote, we
have the following information

The Union I" of Saturday night states that il

Tacubaya, of August 22d from which il publishes
the following extract relating to The armistice:

wards the city, Gen. ScoTT was met by propo-
siton for cessation of hostlitles for the purpose
Of taking care of the killed and wounded. This
he refused; but in the evening agreed to an armis-
