individually and separately, report that an
engagement took place some days previous

was defeated, and driven into his entrench

to resolution of raising his camp and re

BY letters from LA Babe mp to the 9,h
ult. we were prepared to expect the e.
vents, which we understand from different
sources have lately occurred. At that time
an attack was meditated. The army of
Salcedo was in the utmost want and confu.
sion; and threatening dispersion. On the
18th, we learn, an engagement took place,
in which 90 men were killed, wounded and
missing of the Spaniards. revolution had
taken place at St. Antonio, and the return
Of Salcedo will be opposed, if he is able to
hold together his miserable army.
From the cirCumstantial details we
have received, we do not doubt some great
turn has taken place in the revolution o.
this province, and is perhaps connected
with more important operations in the inte-
rior.
