" tigA D-QUA RTZli;:Zac;rEl;s.-TIh;.;; to inform his Ex-
cellency the minister of war and of. the marine that yesterday,
the 11th of May, at nine a.m., th-e*lrciatis of the general govern-
ment of the union obtained a splendid triumph aver the forces
commanded by Dun Francisco Garcia, exceeding 5,000 men;
and possessing a grand train of artillery. Two hours of a very
bloody action on the plains of Guadaloupe sufficed to secure us
a victory that our enemies had hoped to obtain by their warlike
appearance and the manoeuvres they performed on the field,
where they had the hardihood yesterday morning to establish
their camp. At five I attacked them at various points, not
having with me more than 3,400 men of all the troops com-
posing my army of operations; and although I could have pro-
cured a greater number of troops, yet I chose to offer battle
with those I met at Aguascalientis, that my operations might
not be delayed. All has fallen into my pOwer—cannons, arms,
artillery, and about 800 prisoners. The field of battle presented
a most dreadful spectacw. On our side there was about 100
men killed .and wounded. Torrents of blood flowed by the
c.iiiprice of Don Francisco Garcia, and the other guilty chiefs—
who, blind and obstinate, refused to comply with the proposals
that I had made them; at the same time that they uttered tile'
herein contained printed document, and the gross reply
(annexed) that they made me. Soon as this triumph was ob-
tained I marched rapidly without losing a moment to try to
seize immediately all the fortifications, magazines, and depots,
and as many prisoners as possible of those who were prepared
to offer use resistance ; and I have taken possession of the whole
city.
His Excellency General Parres, at the head of 500 cava-
liers, will continue this afternoon his march on Frenillo and
Sombrerete. lam desirous of giving you a detailed account of
all my operations ; and I shall also give you more minute details
of the affair of this day when I shall have more leisure. The
generals, officers, and all the troops under my coitimaud have
performed their duties, and all merit the highest praise.

CORRESPONDENCE RETWEEN SLR. Wll. CUR rti
AND MR. 1. L. GOLDS ID.
Sir William Curtis, at the Police Office, Maryleneo'
London, during the examination of a person who had eared
his house under suspicious circumstances, having used as/4.ex-
pression supposed to be a general reflection upon the character
.2f.the Jewish nation, the following corespondeuce between the
hon. baronet and'Mr. J. L. Ooldsinid has been Published in the
Times : "

t, Krrhange-blotiznys. July 16.
" My dear sir,—My family and myse:rharang been connected
with your house for nearly halla century,d naturally ani anxious
to ascertain whether there be any foundation for the statement
which appeared in the Morning- Herald of this day, respecting
an observation reported to have been made by you at the Mary-
lebone office yesterday.
" 1 remain, dear sir, yours truly,
-ISAAC L. GOLDSMID.
" To Sir W. Curtis, Bart."

" Lombard-street, July 16.
" Dear sir,—ln the observations I made yesterday at the
police-office, St.."Marylebone, I meant nothing disrespectful to
the Jewish nation. The words I made use of, to the best of my
recollectibri, were, ' I will discharge any servant of mine who
admits a Jew, or any other person, into my house under the
sane circumstances, meaning, either to purchase or sell any
article, or to have a view of my butler's pantry.' The order
was intended to extend to all persons, whetherJe-w or Christian.
" I am, my dear sir, yours faithfully,
" WILLIAM. CURTIS.
" To Isaac L. Goldsmid, Esq."

" Lombard-rtreet, July 16.
" Dear sir,—ln returning to you my original note, handed to
me by my partner, Mr. Rubarts, I beg to assure you that I am
sorry that my explanation relative to the expressions made use
of by we at the. police-office, Marylebone, does not appear to
you satisfactory. All I can restate is, that I did not by any im-
plication intend to show disrespect to the Jewish nation. I
have too long been connected with many of its most respectable
members in business and in friendship not to value them most
highly, and I could not have the slightest object in attempting.
to show any mark of disrespect to any individual of its commu-
nity. My remarks were made to my servants, in presence of
the magistrate, on purpose to impress upon their minds the con-
sequence of allowing any strangers, for whatever purpose they
might pretend to call, front visiting my offices below, particu-
larly where my plate is kept. Hada christian been the offender
I should have enjoined the same order. I have not the least
recollection of saying the words honest orotherwise,' but I did
say I did not like strangers, under any plea, to visit my ofticeS.
I am, dear sir, yours very faithfully,
" WILLIAM CUR us.
" t. Lyon Goldsmid, Esq."

"1, Exchange-buildings, July 16.
" My dear sir,---.The explanation you have' given in your
last communication is perfectly satisfactory, and I have no
doubt that the publication of our correspondence (for which
you have given your sanction) will reprove the erroneous im-
pression that must otherwise have betn formed of your senti-
ments respecting the Jewish cointnunitt.
" 1 am, dear sir, vaitcs truly,
" ISAAC L. GOLDSMID.
