R.lision I, Ia Pairid. play Religion and our
country be forever preserved" The first thing
thew did was to force the guard Of the prison,
10 set at liberty various culprits, particularly
person named Urien, very famous for his
Grim es, to take possession of the court house
bell TO call the people 10 arms. Among the
measures that the government took, was that
of uniting in the fortress all the force which
composed the Ist battalion, consisting of about
100 men, five artillerymen and rs many of the
police. In this situation, the government,
after having appointed as chief of all the forces
general Viumont Las Heras, commanded
that the LIST battalion under the command of
Colonel Benito Martinez, should go out of the
town, TO fight with the insurgents who,
Notwithstanding the weakness Of his force,
executed il with the utmost vdlour and
bravery. On both sides was violent strug-
gle, which lasted about minutes. The result
of which was, that the rebels, being entirely
defeated, abandoned the post leaving several
dead, wsunded and prisoners, by shameful
and precipitate flight. The loss on our side
consisted only in Don Bcniio .Haiine-, having
been severely wounded.
We learn from other sources, that the camp
was IN perfect tranquility during the 20th.-
Ii must not be omitted, that as soon as the peo
pie heard the alarm, various officers on
Through, and other very respectable persons,
repaired forthwith TO the f.rtress TO offer their
services 10 the government. Through the
Intendant of the Police, the citizens, who
voluntarily would take it upon themselves to
Ylautain the public tranquility were invited to
repair AT o'clock in the afternoon, to the
place of Victoria, and there To enlist them
selves under the body of the order. The at
tendance was very numerous even OF strangers.
The expedition stationed in the establish
ment of the new frontiers, moved IN the 18th
from the lake of the Carda de San Jose, in
the environs of the Cabeza del Zorro, and il
rs believed that on the seventeenth, they will
arrive at the Scranton of Tdndil.
The army has MT met with any new occur
renee very few militia men desert, and the
veterans, who doubtless are determined to
eXterminate the barbarians, are never guilty
of such crime.
Here follows a decree Of the department
or war, relative TO the enlistment of soldiers
for the military posts on the frontiers.
