After the subjugation of El Salvador, Filísola was going to continue his campaign on securing Mexican control of Central America, including subjugating the rebellious city of Granada and solidifying control of Costa Rica. Before he could continue, however, he heard news about a military-led plot to depose Agustín I.[75] Filísola returned to Guatemala City in March 1823, abandoning his orders to complete the annexation of Central America.[75][76]
Agustín I was forced to abdicate the Mexican throne and go into exile on 19 March 1823, marking the end of the Mexican Empire.[77][78] In its place, three Mexican military officers—Nicolás Bravo, Guadalupe Victoria, and Pedro Negrete—established the Supreme Executive Power, a provisional government formed in the wake of the abolition of the Mexican monarchy, with the three serving as joint heads of state.[79] On 29 March 1823, after news of Agustín I's abdication reach Filísola, he called for the formation of a Central American congress to decide the future of Central America.[76][80][81] On 1 April 1823, the Mexican Constituent Congress instructed Mexican forces in Central America to cease hostilities with anti-annexation and republican forces, and Filísola expressed his support for the Central American people to determine their own "destiny".[82]
On 7 May 1823, Filísola appointed Codallos, who was his second-in-command during the campaign to annex El Salvador,[48] as the military chief of San Salvador in his absence. Less than one month later on 25 May 1823, Salvadorans managed to pressure Codallos and the garrison of 500 Mexican and Guatemalan soldiers under his command to leave San Salvador.[83] In his place, Salvadoran politicians and military leaders established another Consultive Junta, based in San Salvador. The junta was composed of Prado, Colonel José Justo Milla, and Colonel José Rivas. The junta was later dissolved on 17 June 1823 and Prado assumed sole governance of El Salvador.[84]
