BY the way of Vera Cruz and Tampico
we have received a file fpapers from the
city of Mexico to the 18th of March: our
previous dates thence were down TO the
9Th ofFebruary.
EEhe papers are occupied With the mis-
'oFobie details of the two factions in TIE
- city OF Mexico, one under Gomez Farias,
the Vice President, the other under Gen.
Penary Barragan. Much blood has been
shed, but without any decisive effect
Both parties were obstinate in their par
Pose-the one ofretaining power, the 9th
er Of gaining it. Accounts were sent off
speedily to Santa Anna with details ofthe
revolutionary attempt, and as he fell back
from the North the combatants fell off in
their violence, and kind of hollow truce
was observed before the 18th of March
Further mention is made of this business
victory Of the American arms.
FL Republican, ofthe 18th March an
nounces that the American arms have tri-
umphed in chihuahua; that the city CiCh'-
huahua, the capital of the State, has fal.
len. The small forces which defended
1t, says the Republican,, were routed.--
1he Same number Of that paper, and the
number Of the l7th, complain that the
Government does not publish the details
OF the Sighting, declaring that Mexican
courage is not to be daunted by such re-
verses. As we cannot then give the de
tal4s afthe action, we may as we'll add the
latest bows of the position and numbers of
the opposing forces. 1t must be borne in
mind that these accounts are Mexican.
A letter from Durango is published, da-
ted March 9Th, which says that Gen.
Garcia Condo left chihuahua OF the / Oh
February, at the head of 500 cavalry, to
meet the American iRvaders, and had ar
rived on the 22d at the hacienda OF En-
EMIL IS, which Is about seventy miles
north, on the road to Ell Paso. From En-.
cinillaS Condo pushed forwGad scouting
parties, and on the Odd February movec
with his main body to the BogHilla del
Pastor, which is about eighteen miles from
Encinillas and about 80 miles from The
hacienda of Carmen. 1t was supposed
that the United States troops, to the mum
her of 900, were at Carmen by the 23d
.havirg just marched thither from CARR
zz1l. 1t was Condos Intention to avail
EtBogHilla the attack of the Americans
and he was TO be joined there by the fore,
ofGen. Heriaia, consisting of600 infant
~, 800 Dragons and ten pieces of artil
tery. The janction>kad not been effect
ed on the 23l, Gea. Heridia being thel
at the hacienda of TorFeon, which is blu
few miies-eight or ten, we Judge by tn
maps-=-fron Chihuahua. Whether th
junction was effected we do not,know.-
Condos position is said to have beensex
cellentIy chosen, bat we fad il stated tina
he had thrown up rsdouhts aud blocke,
up the roads in order TO hold the eAmeri
cans in check and favor retreat in cas-
no were beaten. We cannot but infer
from the manner in which the Republica
no charlottesville subject, that Chihuahu
did not fall till after battle glorious {
The American arms.
American traders had previously intro
dueed large quantities of goods into CHI
huahua. A letter dated thence the 2I'
of February, says that forty-six WACO
loads oflinen goods had already arrived
and were in the course of distribution f
xhs interior. The trade was PARTIAL
concealed under tho names offoreign rel
idezss.
