INTERESTING FROM YUcATAN.-We have received
from the Merchants Exchange News Room in
Boston, the following interesting intelligence from
the Republic OF Yucatan 1t was brought to that
place by the Archelaus, which sailed from Cam
peachy on the 23d ult. II is interesting, giving
brief history of that country since its separation
from Mexico.
The brig Yucataco, one of the Mexican fleet, had
deserted and joined the Yucatan party at Ssa
The Mexican troops were deserving their post. and
joining the Yucaan party, every day 1t was thought
Santa Anna would be forced to retire.
CAMPEAcHY, Jan. Fl, lS4S.
The revolution in Yucatan commenced in the
latter part of 1899, and was directed against the
military abuses frequent in all Spanish countries.
and more especially in this, where profound re-
ference had always been made to the powers that
be-" whether their proceedings were law or not.
In the commencement OF 1910, the revolution was
general throughout the State, and Campeachy, the
last strong hold of military despotism, was COM
PEELED to capltulate.
| The State then reformed its former constitution
authorizing the liberty of the press and liberty Of
conscience, but at the same time adherlng to the
Mexican confederacy, according to the constitution
| OF 1924, but requiring as sine qua NON OF her &C
ceptance, certain privileges, which have already
been published.
In this iuncure of affairs, Mexico experienced
another revolution, under the direction of Santa
Anna, who promulgated certain bases of regenera-
ton, called the Plan of Tacubaya.
Alter the Santa Anna attempted TO reconcile
matters with Yucaan, and sent ministers to Merida
for that purpose. But he demanded too much. He
sent sloop OF war, which captured OF our
vessels Then came the Mexican feet off Laguna,
The particular of the operations OF which have al
ready been given. That place tell an easy prey 10
the superior Mexican force.
The government of Yucatan, seeing that open hos
tilities were not to be STAYED off, began TO prepare
for war; They sent to the coast southwest of
Campeachy, 1900 troops to observe the movements
of the Mexcans, with orders from Lemas, the
COMMANDMENTS chief, to retire as soon as the enemy
general has acted throughout, in the weak and
undecided manner.
After the loss of her feet Yucatan had constructed
four small sloop gun boats, of 80 tons each with two
guns, one aft and the other forward These vessels
were we'll manned, and proved great annoyance to
the Mexican fleet, and once compelled the famous
iron steamer GuadalouPe to haul of IN much haste.
| Since the battle of the Eminence, when the Mex
| leans gained the hills around Campeachy, there has
been frequent sklTmshng without much effect, al
though our troops always get the best OF the fight.
The Mexicans continue constantly to send SIX inch
shells and twelve pound balls from their entrench-
ment.
Deserton and disease have thinned the ranks
the enemy, that of s. 900 troops sent at various
times, more than 2OOOremaIn, and assertions and
deaths will soon leave but a miserable remnant OF
the invading army.
We should have driven the entire force of Santa
Anna from our shores long time ago had not Le-
mas our commander-in.chief,p proved traitor. He
has gene over to the Mexicans, the Yucatacss
giving him his passport to quit at once tseems that
he likes variety for he turned traitor to Mexi
co. We presume he thinks that "turn about il
fair play"
