VICTORY OF THE YUCATAN PA.
TRIOTS--SURRENDER OF THE
MEXICAN INVADERS
BY the schooner Sarah Ann Jane, Capt.
Coffin, which arrived from Sisal last even
ing, we have received the latest news from
and Merida. The Mexican
force of 1000 men, which advanced on
the latter town with view TO its capture.
has been dscomftted by the patriotic Yucca
tecos, and has surrendered at discretion.
The brave, but mild victors, permitted the
invaders to depart without their arms for
their own country, if they would do so
shortly, otherwise they were to be held
and treated vigorously as prisoners of war.
The Independent of the 25th ult. Justly re-
marks, that the laurels which the Dictator
of Mexico hoped to win in Yucatan, have
faded as prematurely as those he gained
at st. Jacinto. At Merida after the enemy
had surrendered, there were balls and sup
pers, ringing of bells, firing of cannon, and
every demonstration Of rejoicing that was
indicated by John Adams after the declar-
alton of our independence. 1t was be-
lieved, that there being no vessel at Tel.
chack TO convey the Mexicans out Of the
country, they would be conducted to the
interior as prisoners of war.
The Yucatan troops at Telchack. ii
seems. have captured the Lieutenant and
part of the crew Of TIE steamer Monte
yuma, who went on shore for water; leav-
ing that vessel with scarcely able bodied
men enough 10 navigate her.
