NEw LEoN.-By The way Of Tampico
we have received the important inlelli-
scnce, that The state of New Leon has de
cIared in favor of the Federal syslem.-
The plan adopted at Tampico on the 10th
December, was proclaimed anu provis-
ional government established. The gov
ernor has called upon the electors to ap-
point municipal councils. II is probable
that This declaration of New Leon will en-
able Gen. Lemus TO march into the inte-
rior at the head of strong force.
BATTLE OF TUspAN.-The following
extract of a letter addressed to us from
Tampico, gives some further particulars
of the affair of The 25th March:
"One OF the aids of General Mexia was
killed and the other wounded. The gen.
erals servant received ball, which en-
tered his breast aud Went out a, his shoul-
der. Mexia himself was struck in The left
foot by a ball, which fortunately did no
harm. In this glorious affair soldier was
very near running the general through
with his bayoneI, but The general seized
him with The left hand, and with the other
ran him through the body with his sword
with such force that The blade broke. The
engagement lasted more than two hours.
The parties fought from street to street,
aud finally the victory rested with The de-
tenders of the peoples rights"
