PRIVATE LETTER.—VERA CRUZ, NOV. 5.
Here, where you consider us in the centre of peace,
we hare the war almost in our neighbourhood ; but
I hope it will be soon over. • Upwards of 17,000
troops are gone to Queretano, San Miguel, &c. to at.
tack the insurgents ; but a parcel of them, eluding
the vigilance of our army, came down as far as To-
luca, about twelve leagues from Mexico, where there
were no means of defence : however, a single regi-
giment, with two field-pieces, attacked the whole of
the banditti, killed about 4000 of them, chiefly In-
dians, and made the rest fly with precipitation. The
only thing to be feared is, that before the troops who
are up the country can overtake the robbers, they
may enter and obtain a temporary possession of
Mexico, in order to plunder and then run away, as
they have done in all other places they have been in.
However, all the inhabitants of Mexico are under
arms, and it will not be an easy matter to surprise
them. All the marines and artillerymen belonging
to the Minn and Antocha frigate are going to march
up to Mexico, and I have no doubt will do their duty.
Here in Vera Cruz we have formed a regiment`of
volunteers upon the same footing as that of Cadiz
and I have been elected by the individuals of the 7th
company, to which I belong, to be Second Lieute-
nant ;R charge twould have willingly dispensed With;
but now I cannot throw it off'.

Not'. S.—The post from Mexico has arrived with
accounts from the capital of the .3d instant. The
news is favourable, inasmuch as the insurgents, after
the battle of &te 29th ultimo, in Monte de las Cruxes
(seven leagues from Mexico), in consequence of the
loss they sustained, and news they had of the formi;
dable state of defence Mexico is in, determined to
retreat towards Toluca, where there is every reason
to hope, the army that before beat them at San
Miguel, will intercept them, and in such t case, it
is all over with them, as I hope in Goo 'w:11 he
the case; in the mean time we do not neglect taking
every measure to be secure in this city against sioy
attack that may be attempted against ns. The re-'
gular troops and some horse militia are going to be
encamped outside of the walls, and the care of the
forts and interior police, will be committed to the vo-
lunteer corps, part of the coast miiitia and artillery.
Novestaetc 14,3.—Thank Gott I have now capital
news to impart to you. The insurgents, after
the battle of Monte de las Cruzes, no: having dared
to attack Mexico, were retreating towards the inte-
rior, when they wt re met by 7000 of our troops, en-
der the command of Brigadier-General Callegas, who
attacked them, and in less than an hour completely
routed, and dispersed their whole army, which con-
sisted of 25,000 men. The whole of the rebel artil-
lery, consisting of 1.1• field-pieces, with all the am.
munition, 120 boxes of powder, all their money, &c.
fell into the hands ofsour victorious troops We now
consider the rebellion as completely subdued.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

ACGESIRAS, DEC. 2s.

At eleven o'clock in the day of the Sd instant, the
enemy, in number from 1700 to 2000 men, With three
24-poandeis twn ohuses, and a mortar, under the
command of General Sebastiani, presented themselves
in front of the Castle of St. Louis de Marbella. In
a km:mint, they began to construct batteries at the
hermitage of Cavallo, near thr vicinity of that place,
-which were twice destroyed by the lively and well.
directed fire of our batteries: but on the Bth, at sreak
of day, he had constructed three batteries, one ofbags
of earth,.an the road from Marbella to Malaga, cc m-
posed of two 24-pounders, which battered the right
flank of the Castle ; another, within the town of Kir-
bella. consisting-of scmortar and aa'obus; and the
third of a cannon and obus, which played upon the
left flank of the said fort. The whole opened their
fire at eleven o'clock in the day, and: continued. it
with much vivacity. Our walls being weak, and the
enemy's fire superior to ours, he succeeded in disman-
ding one of our cannon, knocking down at the same
time the gate and walls of the fcr;ress. In consequence
of this the Governor Lieutenant-Colonel D. R. Ce-
vallos Escaleta, who on former occasions had glori.
ously defended it, obliging the enemy to abandon his
design, determined to evacuate the fort, and with his
garrison embark in some English ships schich were
cruizing on these coasts. This was executed with the
greatest order, notwithstanding the lively fire of mil.
lery which the enemy kept up till eleven o'clock of
the night of the Bth, at which hour the whole of the
garrison was on board, with the eiccption of Corpo-
ral M. Hilario, who with four artillery men remain-
ed to spike the cannon 'd destroy the arms and
ammunition. f ompletely ruined, ar.d
is now Pc c api rd by
ovit
detachment of the
. enemy.
