INDIANS IN MExIco.-0ur latest advices
from Saltilo told Of a conflict between tho
Texan Rangers and band Of Camanehes.
Upon looking over some late papers from
the city o. Mexico We find several letters
from SAP Luis Potosi describing actions
between the Indians and Mexican troops.
The savages had boldly approached within
seventeen leagues oi the city Of San Luis.
In one engagement the MeIicans had fly
infantry and thirty drasoons engaged. Tho
parry was completely cut to pieces, only
eight Of the Dragons escaping with their
lives aud five of these being wounded.-
Another engagement took place between
the Indians and one hundred dragons Of
the 9TH Regiment Of cavalry, which were
marching ifom Matehuala u Join General
Ayalas. The fight occurred at Mngole,
aud the dragoons were completely routed,
seventy being killed, among whom were
Col. Labasiida and several other officers.
The survivors OF this fight at last joined
Avalos. In letter from this general, we
have a report Of an engagement in which
the Maiicans were more successful. With
a force Of about 400 cavalry, he writes on
the 18Th ol November, that he thai morn.
