Intelligence had been received tnat Tobasco whic
had been beseiged by the Federssts for some weeks
surrendered about the beginning Of October ! here
was little fighting in the Campaign. The Mexieans
surrendered At discretion. The garrison consisted
OF near 5000 men-most sc whom joined the native
party, with view Of remaining IN the country,
About 3e0 Centralsts, who remained obstinate, were
placed in confinement. The Yucatan army eaptur.
ed a large quantity cf powder, besides other war
like supplies, and para Of well mounted artillery.
Tobasco is delivered from her Central oppress-
and her citizens will be able 10 retnrn TO their
former civil pursuits.
Gen. Anaya, (favorably known 10 many persons
in city, in command Of the patriotic and con-
quering forces, Generals Mcdonald and Imam,
we're associates in the enterprise.
The Tsxan vessels in the Tobasco river, at the
time of the siege, dad not probably encourage the
Mexiesns to hold out any longer than they would
otherwise have done. The Austin, we learn sailed
from Campesshy ona cruise, few days before tsc
