reports previously received, OF Gen. Lane

According TO this report, Santa Anna has
been called upon TO assume the relns oil

The following is the extra Of the Genius
of Liberty:
Late and Important from Merico.--The
family OF Mr.. Castro, a respectable citizen
of this place, arrived here yesterday from
Jalapa. On the road, at Santa Fe, at a de-
serted rancho about ten miles from here,
they were met by some 80 or 40 guerrilas.
by whom they were exceedingly maltrea,.
ed. The guerrillas took the entire party o!
travellers, and the vehicle in which they
rode, into the adjoining woods, and there
held consultation as 10 the policy OF muir.
dering them unreservedly. The guerrilas
made several demonstrations TO upset the
carriage and burn il, but were finally dis.
suaded from their iiendish purposes, both Of
murder and wanton destruction, by the ex-
posiulatons and entreating declarations OF
the ladies that no one OF them present was
in any way or form connected with the
Americans, either then or any other time.
The reques, to have their lives spared, and
their carriage saved from being burned,
was finally obtained, and they succeeded in
procuring permission to proceed on their
Journey Immediately, but not till the ma.
rauders had stripped them Of every thing
in the shape of clothes andImoney.
A Mr.. Castillo, gentleman Of this city.
was one OF the number, the eusrril!as took
from him his sword and FIRE arms, the con-
slant exclamation of some Of the robbers
that none but Americans ever travelled
that road nowadays. DR.. Galven, native
Of Havana, who 10 direct from the city Of
Mexico, fell in with Mr.. Castro's family at
JaIapa, and accompanied them to this city;
they suffered many privations in the en-
counter with the guerrlllas.
By the kindness Of this gentlemen we
we're put in the receipt Of very important
intelligence from the city OF Mexico.
He left the city Of Mexico on the 9TH OF
this month, and on the nth, at O'Clock,
P. NJ. he entered Guamantla. There he
learned that the force OF Gen. Lane had en-.
tered shortly before, and so sudden and
unexpected was his arrival, that Santa An.
had barely time to get away by another
quarter OF the town. The Americans cap.
tured two pieces Of artillery belonging to
the force Of Gen. Santa Anna, which the
, latter, in his hurry, had not time to remove;
! and also took two prisoners, Col. Vega, and
the son OF Iturbde.
