Thursday last, the Governor Don Alvino
Peres, Political and Military Chief Of the ter
ritory Of New Mexico, accompanied by Abreu,
and small parry Of soldiers, marched to the
Cavada, go miles from Santa Fe) where a
large number of malconients had assembled,
composed Of the inhabitants from Rio Arrlba
70 Taos, among whom were the Indians liTine
in that neighborhood, who are partly civilized
and subject 10 the General Government.
Upon the meeting of the two armies, which
took place near st. Ildefonso, the Governor
commanded his soldiers 10 FIRE; at which order
all his men went over TO the enemy, except
twenty three---of whom one was killed on the
spos. and three or four wounded.
The Governor Immediately fed with all who
could follow him, to Santa Fe, where they re-
manned until night, under favor Of which they
started upon good horses in order TO get as far
40 possible from their enemies, who knew how
70 take more adroit measures 10 intercept them;
for, 90 soon as they disappeared from the field
Of battle, they despatched the Indians 70 cut
o6 their retreat By the Rio Abajo, with or
dors 70 spare none Of them, which was LITERAL
~ accomplished. The next day the victors
eacamped at La ChappelIe, which is near the
town Of Santa Fe--and there killed the Gov.
ernor, Ramon and MarcelIno Abreu, Chico AL.
ari, young Lieutenant named Gutlerres. and
many others whose names are not known
The triumphant army, having declared their
leader Jose Gonzales, an inhabitant Of Taos,
Governor, made the entrance into the town,
where he assumed the GoveFnment--assisted
by Rafael Garcia, who had commanded the
troops with him. All was now tranquil.
But one thing was wanting TO complete theiI
porpose-ihe head Of Santiago Abreu, Judge
Of the distsict---the friend Of the stranger and
the roor-the talented and meritorious officer
and they received the news that he had beer
massacred by the Indians of Santo Domingo
From the best accounts, the killed is abou
fifteen, among whom was Miguel Sena. ant
five or six wounded, among whom are Fran
cisco Sunasino, former Governor and Com
missary, Apuntis. adjutant ofthe late deceased
Governor. Jose Bustamente, and the sergean
Antonio Sena. All seems quiet enough at this
time, though yesterday the report was that the
victors, who had returned home the day aftel
their entrance here, were about to visit US FOL
the purpose Of committing further outrages..-
The new Governor, with several others, i'm.
mediately left here, and we have some assu
rance that we shall he spared their presence
The country is in sad and ruinous condition

bya gentleman who has arrived in town frol
