Inswreetioa Of Indians IN Yueatan Horrible slaughter

Through the poteness of the editors of La Para,
have been favored with proof sheet of the interesting
items which they have received by the schooner Prmera
Campechana arrived yesterday afternoon from Cam

1t appears that an instruction had broken out among
the Indians at Yucatan, the object of which to
slaughter all the white inhabitants of that country But
the plot was fortunately discovered in time, although
number of inhabitants have been massacred in several
villages.
All the white and muatto men, together with the
women and children OF Tepch, were murdered by the
Indians One of their Chiefs Antonio Ay, taken prs-
oner and executed They declared that the plot had been
organized for about II years
The party question which had existed between the
Yucatecos set aside, and they all united in order to
resist the insurgents
Ell Sglo XIX paper published in Yucatan, publishes
two proclamaonsone from the President of the State
of Honduras, the other from two generas-in which
they call the attention of the Centric Americans the fate
of the Mexican republic, and solicit their assistance

ments.

show a intimate connexion of the English govern

charge upon grounds at all equivoca But what could
have been the necessity for despachng special courier
