presented to him the inconvenience those behold

The accounts from South America, which we this
day lay before our Readers, are singularly interest•,
ing ; not only because they contradict all the ac-
counts previously circula►ed by the Spanish Royalists
of the discomfiture of Mures Expedition against
Mexico, and state, on the contrary, great success to
have accompanied his arms ; but also because, being
written, not by any of Mures adherents, but by a
Spaniard, who laments his progress, the authenticity
of the details cannot be questioned. This writer
sonfirms, what we have so often had occasion to state,
that the official accounts published by the Royalists
can never be depended on : even when they are de-
feated they always claim a victory—kill the liisur-
gtnt General, destroy his fleet, and cut off all his
supplies—hut in a few days be is found to be alive,
and very rudely kicking and cuffing the soldiers of
royalty. How MINA'S ente,rprize may terminate we
cannot predict ; but we have strong h^pe that he
will triumph over every difficulty, and, ere long,
waire the bAnners of
..independence over the whole
province of Mexico:

44 VERA CRUZ, JUNE 25.

" Mina's landing, which, at the beginning, appear-
ed m create no great degree of alarm, owing to the
active arrangements of the Government, and the
march of superabundant troops to destroy him on the
vary coast of Soto de la Marina, has now caused the
greatest dread and consternation. Brigadier• General
Arredondo, who ought to have attacked him, remain-
ed quiet in Monterry ; Colonel Arminan, with his
,:segimeut of Estresnadera and that of America, who
ought to have arrived in time to prevent Mina's ad-
vancing into the interior, was detained for the want
of baggage, or for other reasons, in Tampico and
Altamita, when Mina on the sth of June, penetrated
through the valley of Mai', without any other ob-
stacle than that of having to encounter 120 Roya-
lists, who were completely routed by his advance of
60 men. According to the most authentic iiifornea.
lion, we learn that when he landed he had not more
than 44.10 men, but ammg them many otTic:ls. He
left behind him a fortihi d point in Soto de la Ma-
rina, with 100 men ; he mounted the remainder of
his people, and advanced towards the interior with
500 men, whit those who joined him in la Colonic
de Nene° Santander, and complete in ev-ry thing.
By this daring attempthe has put
.all the disposable,
troops in maims, agitated the Government, and
•spread terror and alarm throughout the whole of the
•Eingdom. The unexpected appearance of the man,l
his name, and the object he has before him, have
gives e convulsive shock to every thing. His rapid
and masked movements seem to indicate, that his in•''
.61)
Oration is to penetrate to Basin, where the insurtec-
lion has been kept alive and in full vigour by Curate
Torres. In other parts this spirit his received some
- ocks, but Baxio is its cradle, and this besides is
the fattest and must populous part of the kingdom-
-Where it has always been bursting froth, where most
epeegy has been shown, and where the Independents
retain several well fortified points, and possess super-
abundant means to cause a dreadful re-action, if
Mine arrives among them and there becomes popu-
'. The Viceroy has sent forwards all his disposable
ito prevent and beat him ; he has taken the
active measures, from which certainly some.

illgilance, and begins to figure, the most fatal con-
sumes are to be expected.

report, it represented as mounting 12 guns. An
American silmsoner which escaped, and-a merchant

Juaa 26.—8 y letters from Tozpao, of the 25th,
we learn, that whilst General Arredando remained
quiet in his cantonments, Mina collected all the mules
and horses to be found in la Colonia de Neuvo San.
tander, and that on the Ilth he penetrated through
the Valley of Main, with all his people mounted, and
with the arms he brought with him, without taped.
ening the least opposition from the bittalion of Fer-
dinand VII. which had come down, and was only
eight leagues distant. This corps, consisting of 650
infantry and SOO horse, by the forced marches of
Colonel Arminan, passed the outlet of the Valley on
the 12th, and 'this officer on the 11th writes, that on
the 14th he intended positivelz to come up with the
invader and heat bim ; adding, that by another Chief
commanding.in the Valley of Main, he had been in-'
formed that the Commandant of Tampico, l'edriula,
with 150 cavalry.liad caught sight of Mina in the
said Valley, arid that having 'atticked him, he had,
been obliged to retreat in good order with the loss of
20 men, supposing be had killed about the same
number of enemy. We:also understand, that the
people of Bazio, having learnt the landing of Mina,
were preparing to facilitate a junction with him, and
that for this purpose one of their divisions was march-
ing forwards to meet hirn., Father Mier was in cons-
patty with him, by which the report inserted in the
Government Gazette of the 14th instant, turns out
false, by which it was said he had been taken.
6. JULY I.—By the post whith has just arrived, we
havt received a copy of the' Extraordinary Gazette
of the 20th ult. a copy of which I inclose, No. I.
The official dispatch of Colonel Arminan therein
inserted, is ?tally curiods, and the content, respecting
the action of the 16th will appear perplexing, when
it is considered that his encampment of San Jose,
from which he dates, is three or four leagues further
back than the spot on which the battle was fought,
which was one-fourth of a league from the paint of
Peotillo. Hence it most be deduced that the action
was more adverse than favourable, notwithstanding
he had uith him 1400 men, cavalry and infantry.—
' Tl.e coward, whom the Governor of S.in Luis Po.
tosi, Torres, says has put in motinn,&c. was an Offi-
cer of the Regiment of Estremadura who fled from
the action, and entered the town, saying all was lost.'

" JULY 6.—An express has just arrived through
La Antigua, which left the city of Mexico on the
'2911 June, at five in the morning, and has brought
the Extraordinary Gazettes of `26d and 27th. In the
first, ii an Official Report of the defence made by our
troops in Xalpa, and a Dispatch of the Commandant
of San Luis Potosi, to that of Q !ern tro, dated 19th
June, in which he says, that on the 19th Mina slept
at Espiritu Santo, Colonel Arminan in LaCorcobadar
and ilt‘t orders had been sent to Colonel Roir, of
the regiment of Navarre, to proceed on to join Colo-
nel Orrantia, and that he al-pt or. the 19.1, at Bledo,
nut having been able to form his junction on the 19th
in coniegoence of the injury his carriages had expe- •
rienced; The second Gazette is entitled, ' Destrnc.
tion of the banditti of the traitor Mina, and the wrest
of the apostate Mier, in Soto de la Marina, Province
of Nuevo Santander.' Tf.us are we deluded here.—
It also contains a Dispatch of General Atredondo,
of 1501 June, stating, that at day•Lre and after
much hard fighting, they had been able to collect
2000 head of cattle of all kinds. Colonel Castello,
of the regiment of Ferdinand VII. requested permis-
sion to advance, on the fort, and having received per-
mission, lie dist received
so, with 100 infantry, 50 horse, and
one four-pounder ; and General Arredondo, advanc-
ing liom another point, joined in the attack with the
rest of the troops. At three in the afternoon, having
fired '2OOO cannon balls, 2u,000 musket ditto, and a
large quantity of grape, they succeeded, having kill-
ed qt the enemy I'2 men, four women, and wounded
several. Our loss was four killed and more than 60
wounded, some of them dangerously, and among
them Lieutenant-Colonels Game, Elousa, and Ma- •
dera, Lieutenants Vargas and Neira, and Ensigns
Porcura and Castro. In the fort their were SW men
of all classes; and the details of the action and sur-
rendry of the tort, and what was taken, are promised
for another opportunity. From M lieu we learn that
the place capitulated.
" Juts B.—By the letters this day arrived from
Mexico, we learn, that Colonel Arminan's division
suffered greatly in the action of the l'th ultimo, in
which, besides the cavalry that was dispersed, or
rather deserted, he had 52 wounded and :tartly killed.
Also, that he lost neaseily the whole of his park of ar-
tillery, prvisions, and stor;s, and that it was he and
not Mina; who was defeated.' 'lite lasts r had caused
the greatest astonishment by the celerity and success
of kis naarohes, and well.judged operations, having
evaded, laughed at, or fought more than 5000 men
destined to attatic .and follow him up. After the
battle at Peotillo, be proceeded or. withont any im-
pediment to the town Of Venado, baying rested in
the estate of Espiritu Santo, 'and taker the road of
La Sierra dr Pim.s, where, according to the official
reports of the military Commander of San Luis Po-
tosi, dated the 20th. be formed a junction with the
patriot cnref Moreno, setiLon to meet hitt by Curate,
.Porrert, and that he was then very near the dank.*
of Baxio. Colonel Arminaa was following him 'at
the distance behind of 25 leagues, together with the
battalion of Navarre, which was to join Colonel Or-
rantia, at a similar or greater distance. Brigadier-
General Negreti, who was posted in Lagos with
1200 men, was the one to present the nearest opposi-
tion to him ; but as our divisions march with artillery
and other impediments, it is-probable Mina will avoid
meeting them, and it is to be feared, that under the
shelter of the fortified ramparss of Comange and San
Oregon°, in the mountainous country of Guanaxuato,
and the present rainy season which prevents our
troops from acting in Bali°, be will organise the
people of the latter districts, and assume an imposing
attitude. When the news was received in the city
of Mexico of the attack of Xalpa and Queretaro by

the Insurgents, they imagined it was by Mina's
people, and instantly the guards at the palace were
doubled, as well as round the walls. Every other
precaution was also observed on this occasion, which,
according to the letters received, explain the alarm
that existed in tke city.
" Ic&Y 14.—A little before sun-set, some Muleteers
arrived from the Sierra,. who report that the Insur-
gents have re-established their cantonments inChiqui-
huita, Moral and Rasgavanceras.
JULY 15.—1 inclose to you Mit official report
Goveronsent has published of the' March and Pro-
gress of the Adventurer Mina,' which has spread the
great alarm among us. It is much to be feared that
if the people of Bath) join him with a good heart.
and subject themselves to his discipline and good
order, actuated at the same time by the flattering
principles he proclaims, all the Spaniards in this
quarter may return to their native horses. By his
well-directed marches, the action of the 16th June,
and the renown he has already acquired, he hes in-
spired dread; accompanied with admiration, in the
minds of every one. Viceroy Apodaca labours hard,
but without reaping any great fruits.• His anxiety
personally to command and direct all, and to arro-
gate all the glory to himself, has indisposed him
greatly with the provincial leaders ; and even the
Commanders of divisions are not satisfied with his
imperious manner of commanding, st ithout combin-
ing his measures and orders with the means of sub-
sistence, and the other wants of the troops. Even
this half of what might be done, is not done, for ti.e
want of system and harmony, which would prevent
this competition and discordancy among the Chiefs,
who are disgusted because they consider themselves
neglected and ill-treated, and their authority besides
overlooked. No wise and just system of policy has
been adopted ; the administration of the public rave.
nue still continues in the greatest disorder; vengeance
alone is thought of. The greatest-want of resources
is actually experienced, such as wrsuld'have astonish-
ed and frightened our ancestors; still no measures
are adopted to guard against what has been so long
and so frequently experienced. to that provision is
only made for the passing day. Nothing is in reserve,
so that if some means are not adopted to destroy
Mina, I am unaware how this edifice can sustain it.
self without falling to the ground.

EXICO GAZE 17E3,
INTRODUCED BY THR WAY OF CONTRAST.

" No. I.—Copy of the Enfraordirsary Candi, oldie
Government of Mexico, dated Friday, June 20, 1817.
Attack made on the traitor Mina and his party, one
quitter league from Peotillo, and 14 leagues from
San Lois Potosi. His Excellency the Viceroy has
just received the fol:owing official Reports, which he
has ordered to be printed, for the satisfaction of the
faithful vassals of his Majesty in this City:
44 Maar EXULLENT Slit—The suspicions I mani-
fested to your Excellency, in my dispatch, No. 18(3,
-three hours ag 1, were pot unfounded ; and my sur-
mises are periectly confirmed by the official report of
Colonel At minan, which I now inclose. According
to the 3.lvic,:. 1 receive from the Coloogl, he requires,
in order to put down the wicked invader, 200 horse,
which I blioll instantly forward to him. They will
leave this at day-break to-morrow, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant Torres, an officer of known va-
lour. Ti c coward who has put us all in agitation,
and caused us to pass moat unpleasant moments, re
mains under arrest, till she superior determination of
your Excellency has been received. The officer who
bronglit the annex-c 1 report informs me, that the Re-
bel has had many killed, and that among those who
fled away, there are many wounded. The details of
all I will communicate to your Excellency the very
moment I receive them, hoping that they will
amount to a happy result, and so do away with the
disagreeable news previously received.

• " After marching very near 18 leagues I came np
with the perverse Mina, who received me with his
columns formed ; but I attacked him in an 'mum,
notwithstandrog I had met with a division determin-
ed to die, bat not without havoc. Nothing of this,
however, was sufficient to prevent a camplete rout,
after three bouts and a half action, notwithstanding
the cavalry of Rio Verde, to the number of 600 horse-
men, in the greatest disorder threw themselves on
my infantry, and completely beat it to pieces, the
greatest part of it flying away without its being pos-
bilile to contain it, by either the efforts of the Chiefs
or Officers. As soon as the infantry and cavalry of
the Provinces, sierra Garda and Tulaucingo, were
rallied, they followed up the wicked rebels, who have
taken the road to Vencedo. The small part of the
cavity that has remained with me of the three latter
bodies, is left in the most tattered state, •and this
*priers me of the possibility of entirely destroying
the enemy. I therefore hope your Excellency will
send me .a reinforcement of 200 cavalry, that I may
be enabled to realise my project. As soon as the
infantry has recovered from the effects of fatiguing
marches. I shall follow the enemy up till I have
completed his destruction...-Goo preserve your Ex-'

of this action, in order to reward those who have
therein distinguished themselvej, as well as to punish
those, in conturmity to the Military Regulations, who
I have been wanting in the compliance of their duty."
