Hidalgo's retreat are attributed to the miraculous intervention of the virgin, and, as a consequence, the events which led to his capture. In the Noticias para la Historia, which has been frequently quoted, an account of the image of the lady of los Remedies is given. Then follows a historical narration of events down to the escape of Morelos from Cuautla, supplemented with sub sequent occurrences during the same years. Castillo, resolutely blind to the true causes of the revolution, attributes its origin solely to French intrigues and Hidalgo's wicked readiness to listen to Napoleon's agents. In his persistency to hold up Hidalgo as the author of the rebellion, he unblushingly states—page 108—that his short interview with d'Alvimar was so satisfactory to the latter as to stimulate the activity of the French in their intrigues in other Spanish American countries. The historical portion of this volume of 269 pages is but an emphasized rescript of the versions of events given in the Gazeta de Mexico.
