troops stationed near the Cordillera against the Indians of the
south. It seems that these troops, in conjunction with some
friendly Indians, attacked the remains of the tribe who had
escaped from the army of General Rosa in the last campaign,
and after a variety of manoeuvres had succeeded in killing
upwards of 100 of them, and capturing various families, and a
number of cattle. The loss on the part of the assailants was
two soldiers and five friendly Indians killed, and Captain
Tunega and the Cacique liursuane wounded.
The beautiful republic of Mexico is again a prey to revolu-
tion. General Alvarez, the Governor of Zueateeas, has raised
the standard of revolt against Santa Ana, and has issued a
proclamation denouncing that individual, but offering to all
others an amnesty, always excepting the ministers of the pre-
sident. Our accounts to-day state that Santa Ana, with a
force of 5000 men, had left the capital for Zaeateeas to attempt
the suppression of this revolt, which had extensive ramifica-
tions, and it was supposed would not be terminated without a
severe conflict, as Alvarez had been joined by Gomez Fareos,
and it was understood General Bravo, Bustament, and other
leading and popular men of the republic were compromised in
the revolt.

The Vera Cruz letters say that great excitement prevailed
there at the receipt of this intelligence, although the commer-
cial operations had not been much affected by it. It was not
doubted, however, that the mercantile interests would be seri-
ously compromised should the contest be prolonged.

CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Ste,—Admiring the fearlessness and spirit of your journal I
claim a few lines to notice a nuisance of the most intolerable
sort. It is scarcely possible to do more than allude to the sub-
ject, and I am really surprised that it has not sooner been
openly denounced.

Did you, sir, ever read some of the quack advertisements with
which the pages of nearly all the radical newspapers are weekly
defiled, and which contain insinuations too gross and Abomina-
ble to be tolerated any longer, and which are an outrage on
public decency ?

Some of them are of so vile a character that I am really afraid
of introducing any of the papers to which I allude into my
liouse, lest they shock the feelings of the females of my family;
and, although their insertion may be a source of profit, it is diq-
reputabie. and. I can. hardly bring myself to believe that the
editors are aware of their disgusting character.

I am not singular in my abhorrence, the complaint is general,
and, although it is bad enough to read the language with which
one of the editors occasionally besprinkles his wretched dog-
grels, the vile inuendoes contained in these advertisements are
much worse.

The remedy lies with the public; and if parents would exclude
the publications containing them from their houses the nuisance
would soon cease.

I congratulate you, sir, that your pages are never defiled with
them ; and I hope that the hint I have thrown out will be taken
by those editors who cannot derive pleasure in outraging the
feelings and wounding the modesty of every virtuous female.—
Yours, &c., UN PERE.
