LATEST FROM SANTA FE.

LATEST FROM SANTA FE.
On Tuesday, the 25th ultimo, (savs
the independence ExpositorJ seven
gentlemen arrived here. after n safe but
arduous journey across the plains, from
Santa Fe, via. Bent's Fort. They left
New Mexico early in January. The
news they bring is interesting to the
mercantile portion of our community.
Up to the date of their departure, eve
rything had remained quiet in New
Mexico, the civil and military com
mandant Of that atprovince, Gen. Mariana
Martinez. holding aloof from any parti-
cipaiion in the revolulion.and no doubt
waiting to declore for which ever par
ty (Santa Anna Or the Congress) night
obtain the upper hand.
Don Manuel Armijo was superseded
in his governorShip in The winter of
l843,-4, by Gen. MARTINEZ, a protcgr Of
Santa Anna. Armijo. the former COM
mandant of the province. remains qui-
city in his retirement at Albuquerque.
The only internal disturbance feared
in New Mexico, is an attack of the
Yute Indians, in revenge for the mass;l-
Gre of their head men in Santa Fe in
August last. rhe whole province is
kept in constant alarm by their depre-
dalions, and they threatened IN attack
on Santa Fe itself. They have taken
the fort of Antoine Robiduux, on the
Wintae, and killed the traders and
hands they found in it. 1, is said that
Antoine Robidoux escaped to his fort
ON the Campagara.
Mr.. Albert Speyer, who took ou,
twenty-five wagons from this place in
September last, suffered from very Sc
we're weather in November, between
the Arkansas and the Semrone, during
the continuance of which he lost one
hundred and fifty of his mules. He
sent on to Santa Fe and obtained ii
fresh lot of animals, and finally arrlv-
ed in Santa Fe the latter end of De-
cember. We are told that Mr.. Speyer
bought up the goods of several Of the
American traders who went out in Au-
gust last 10 Santa Fc, and continued
his journey to Chihuaha.
Messrs. Connolly, Glasgow, and AL
guia, lost upwards of one hundrei and
forty head of stock in the storm before
mentioned, and were also under the
necessity Of sending on for animals to
Santa Fe. They proceeded on their
journey 10 Chihuahua in company with
Speyer.
Colonel Owens also left Santa Fe
with the above named gentlemen; after
having, it is said, sold his remaining
goods 10 Speyer.
There have been disturbances in the
Paso del Norte and Chihuahua, but no.
thing definite is known with regard to
the result.
1t is said there will be number of
Spanish merchants here this summer,
for the purpose of buying goods.
Another company of Americans may
be looked for mere. in two or three
weeks, when we shall no doubt have
further intelligence of interest.
Santa Fe is extremely gay this win
ter. The foreigners, as usual, extreme
ly well treated by the Mexicans.
Don Manuel Sizenero, the husband
of tile famous Sonora Tulias, is dead.
There was much sickness among the
companies that went out last summer.
Two deaths occurred among the Amer
leans in Santa Fe. James Peebly, res
idence not known, who went out with
Wethered, and George keefer, of this
county, who wentout with DR.. I onnel-
". All the Americans in Santa Fe
are well at present. aa
We have nothing of interest from
Fort William. Charles Rent, esq, was
in Santa Fe, Ceran ST. Vrain. esq.,, AT
the Fort. They have had q very open
winter, and have had an active trade
with the lndians. A trapping and ,ra-
ding party had gone out on the Rin
Gala, a tract of country not much fre-
by our traPpers. ~
