de Ia Patria, of the 2ls, we learn that on the Sth
9th, 10th and Ilth the whites had gained numerous
advantages the Indians in the neighborhood of
CenOtillo. In consequence of the confidence in
spired by these successes, many families had re-
turned to their homes in the interior, prefering'
says Ell Hyo-'' to perish by the hands of the
savages to suffering the bitterness of exile
On the 18th the frigate Dolores arrived at Cam
peachy, from Vera Cruz, bringing a large amount
Of arms and ammunition. The Republican, was
expected in few days. with $4,000.
When the Sisalena left, there was a rumor preva-
lent at Campeachy that the Government troops had
had an encounter with the Indians, about fourteen
leagues from the city, and that the whites were
victorious; but were ultimately compelled to retire,
for want of provisions.
The Sisalena brings $4,000 in bullion
