 OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE DEFEAT OF THE
 INSURGENTS.
 To His ErceilgAcy tlse -aas.ssetor oJf Ba,-s
 Excellent Sir,-I havethe great pleasure to inform the supreme government, that the great focus of revolution Is broken
 After my despatch of the 7th instant, in which stated to your exeeilency, that the insurgents, being driven to their last en- trenehments, had asked general amnesty, 1 continued my operations as agreed on in council of war, and made arrangements to attack the Notifications of the point de Melludo, with two divisions, one under com inand of Gen. Mejia, and the other under Col. Martin Cos. Having posted them- selves during the night, at the places assign ed them, marched to the camp where Col. Cos was, and having carefully reeeanc:.-cai the positions of the enemy at the dis tance of half musket shot, for neither the darkness of the night nor the nature of the ground permitted ne 10 do 1t at a greater distance, 1 ordered the said Col. to move forward with his battallons and take.posses4 slon of San Miguel, (,he middle point of the three which the enemy occupied and having got possession Of that, to attack the point on the right, while l in. person, with a company of cacadofes, should create a di- version on the left, which was convent fortified by nature, and still more by the works which had been thrown up. My plans and wishes were carried into complete effect. Col. Cos, with the greatest gallant ", took possession of the first point, then of the second, and finally of the third, after an hour and q half of brisk firing on both sides. h the capture of this last position, part of the division of Gen. Meiia coop erated with equal intrepidity. There fell into our hands two cannons with their park, arms, and the whole garrison of more than 400 men (not one escaped) including the killed and wounded.
 The action was terrible on account ef the l advantageous positions of the enemy; and judging from the obstinate resistance we met with, supposed we must have suffered much loss; but fortunately it IS limited to killed, and B wounded, most of them bad ly, including Col. Anastatio Rcntaria, Capt. Luis Cervantes, Lieut.. Francisco Vellarde and sub-L Lieutenant Jose Cardon. The rebels posted in other positions, now found that resistance was hopeless against freemen, determined to sustain the cause of the people; and the leader, Mariana Arsta, addressed me letter, marked No. l, to which the staff of this army replied, No. 2, and the result was convention, No. 3. by virtue of which all the insurgents sub- mltted themselves to the laws and 10 the disposition of the supreme government. without any favor besides life being prom ised them, and all the generals, chiefs and officers, being required to leave the coun- try. They are at this moment on their way to Vera Cruz, for the purpose of embark ng, escorted by 200 horsemen of this ar my. The (surendered) troops will for the present, be apportioned among our different corps. They are 1000 in number, without including the battalions of Tolica; which had previously come over to the federal army.
 At tbis moment, o'clock, 4. M. the troops of my command are beginning to move upon Guanajuato, for the purpose of taking possession of that city and the for feited points.
 Ihis evening, Generals Moctezuma ant Guesta, with 1000 men, will % in pursuit of Duranr who has taken the road to Oaia- ca, with 500 men, who still adhere to him.
 Your excellaney will be pleased to make every thing known to the Vice President, c,ongratulatlng him anew, in nay name, that the Republic IS about tobe restored topeace: and accept fer yourself the assurance of my special regards,
