The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1848-08-03


Our packages by the Alabama contained pa
pers from the city of mexico TO the llth inst
three days later than our former accounts.
We have at last accounts OF an engagement
betwe N the troops of Bustamente and Paredes.
The official report of the former officer is be-
tore u.s. dated Marfil, the 18th inst. lie claims
that he thove the insurgents several times be-
hind their works, hey having sailed out TO at
tack him. His own loss is said to be slight,
while Parades had twenty seven killed and
about sixty wounded. The forces of Parades
received considerable accession from the peo-
| pie OF the surrounding country, he having pro-
missed them the sacking OF Guanajuato alter
| his triumph should be secure.
The newspapers have private letters from
Guanajuato to the 7th. These give less IA
vorable coloring to the success OF Bustamente,
though they speak well of the courage display
ed by him.
From various indications we should judge
that the cause of Paroles was every day &C
Touring strength. Hence the anxiety OF the
lGovernment journals that he should be crush
led at once.
In one of the skirmishes which took place
lnear Guanaiuato il is said that Jarauta was Sc
lverely wounded by being thrown from his
horse, and that he will probably die from the
effects OF the injury.
T',co Daps Latcr.-Since the above was IN
TYPE, the u. S. steamship New Orleans has ar
rived, having sailed on the 18th inst: She has
drought over the headquarters OF the 9th lnfan-
ltry. under command Of 1t. Col. Miles.
Our letters and papers not yet being at hand,
we learn verbally that il was currently report
ed and believed at Vera Cruz that Parades had
had defeated Bustamente, with loss to the
latter of five hundred men. The papers OF the
Alabama gave but one side of the story, and up
Ion reading them the suspicion was forced up
lon the mind that Bustamente had been wor-
listed. but with no such loss as is now suppos-
led.
We have received from Capt Aud, Of the
New Orleans, a memorandum OF the news al
Vera Cruz, in which it is stated that the latest
intelligence from the interior reported the de-
feat of Par dies by Bustame nte, and not Busta-
Imente by Paroles, as we have it from another
respectable source. Capt. Aud, in connec-
, ton with this, has the following paragraph in
his memorandum:
t Intelligent Mexicans at Vera Cruz, in the
: face of the reported defeat Of Paredes, and
without contIadictiRg il, positively affirm
= that he will overturn the Government Of Her
lrera.
e Lieut.. Martin, 81 Dragons, died at the Ma
- ltional Br dge about the 10Th inst, of yellow
fever, after his return from short leave OF alb
Isence thence to Vera Cruz.
Ie The troops are either all embarked or hav'
II bad transports in ports assigned to them, ex
lcept the lst Regiment of Artillery, statione'
lin part of the castle and in the town, as TN
garrison ofthe place, and several companies G
lie dragons, composing the guard of the al

Arripal of the Great Westsrn.-At an ea
Ily hour this morning we received our advice
Iby the Great Western. The papers from tn
Lefty of Mexico by her are no later than wei
OF brought by the Alabama.
toll The Great Western reached Ship Island a
,s noon of Thursday, the 10th. She brought ov'
=. so 600 i'm specie, and also the ofhcers an
" men of the 4th Infantry.
e, The troops were Immediately put on ooaI
ge the u. s. steamer A. X. Hitzel, to be conve.

A letter from Major Cross. chief quarternia
''' ter in Mexico, announces the melancholy II
n. telligence Of the death ofCapt. L. M. Gleason
o. A. @. NJ. He died at Vera Cruz on the LOT
Inst, at a quarter past 10, p. NJ, after an ii
ness of ten days Of the vomito.
81 We have conversed with an intelligent TO
on eigner, passenger on the Great Western, WI
left the city of Mexico on the 18th. He sa!
that the govern ment was exceedingly alarmt
ar on account of the success of Paredes. and
MS was proposed to fortify the garitas Of the CT
lc- in order to restrict his approach. II will all
ma be Sc n BY the letter below that the univers
ct belief is that Bustamentc was sgnally defeat'
~. by Paredes, the official report OF the former
the contrary notwithstanding.
Two Americans were robbed at Jalapa Il
night before the troops left there and thu
n. murdered. They had large amount OF mon
with them. but were intoxicated at the time
=" the murder.
igs The Mexican authorities are pursuing 4
di- robbers who infest the road 20 the capital.
o,b They are dealt with summarily, being hung
i fast as taken.
oil We annex letter from correspondent
nds Vera Cruz:

The British courier arrived last night fro
the CITY of Mexico, but he brought no pape
oil or at least could hear OF none. have be
of assured, however, BY persons who have rec
hen we'd letters from respectable sources to the l.
iusa that the prospects OF Paredes look ori
was ter. and but little doubt is entertained by
nto tellisent foreigners in the city that he
sed eventually succeed in overthrowing the "
the lernment. BY these letters have also been
!, nj, ceived authentic accounts OF the oatte
:, tween him and Bustamente, and all agree
lex the latter was soundly whipped. and they
item pect that, under tie excitement and advan'
Of victory, he will soon find his way into
