FROM YUCArAN.

We have intelligence from Merida to the 18th
ultimo, to the effect that actual hostlites between
the Campeachans and Merida forces had COM
menced
On the 10th ultimo Government troops, to the
number of 400 infantry and 30 Dragons, with one
piece of artillery, from Merida, attacked the village
of Tabi, and after two hours fighting took it,
driving the Campeachans out before them. The
force of the Campeachians is not given. Their
loss is said to be between forty and fifty killed. and
seventeen prisoners. The loss of the victors is set
down at five killed and eleven wounded The place
is OF no importance whatever as military post and
was abandoned Immediately after being taken.
The Campeachian forces were in the immediate
vicinity of Merida, and had demanded its surren-
der, giving twenty-four hours to consider. The
Government forces, in reply, proposed cessation
OF hostilities, and the appointment of commission
ers on both sides to settle matters amicably. This,
however, was rejected, and the commander of Me-
rida refused to surrender and at the last accounts
it was momentarily expected that the Campeach-
ians would attack the CITY,. o. Mercury.

Accounts from Brasos Santiago to the 9th instant

Fastening the transportation of troops. General
TAYLOR was at Monterey, with the first regiment of
Mississippi volunteers, under Colonel DAVIS. Gen
eral WORTH at the mouth Of the river, with his
whole division, being the flower of the army, all
ready to embark for Isle Lobos and Tampico. From
Isle Lobos to Vera Cruz there is fine, hard, sandy
road along the beach, on which artillery and wagons
can travel with as much ease as on turnpike
There was rumor at Brasos that an officer of
the Arkansas regiment, who had been dispatched as
an express by General Scott to General Taylor,
with an escort of ten men, was cut off by the enc
my and the whole detachment murdered This ru-
NOR may or may not be true. There have been so

THE OPERATIONS or THE suBTREAsuRY.

On Saturday last the Subeasurer had boarded up mil,

The reception Of all the duties in specie at the Custom
House is made possible by the novelty Of ceghng coin
stead Of counting it. The banks have bags
tain sums TO pay duties with, the coin which the Custom
House weighs, and thus duties paid by bags by
