the movements of the Indian warfare In Yucatsn
translate the following
The last from Yucatan is Of vital interest to
s .,
horrid massacre division Of troops, who attacked
them in the village of Chishmils in the vicinity Of the
city Of Vssdod. Among those killed, were many most
meriorious officers The people of Yucstan have made
great mistake in their treatment Of these Indians If
before giving them the rights end privileges they did,
aud educated them, as to appreciate end these
privileges for their benefit, should not now be
called On to witness the various scenes OF mis-
fortune and flight Ct families citizsps, 81. who

abroad encounterog all the difficulties and miseries In
cdent euch occurrences, and ultimately tho total
lev through the assistance Of tho Almighty it is pre-
vented by the interference OF foreign aid to cxermnate
these barbariaus. The presence Of Commodore Perry
at Campoacby may be looked special intervsn-
ton, duriog his stay here We have been fully con-
WINGED of the hearty feelings and good disposition
vh,cn he entertaps the Yucaeccs and that he
will most heartily lend them all the aid in his power
which they may ask.

Regarding the emigration of the inhabitants from the
Peninsula We nnd the following
Some tme ago adverted to the numerous arrivals
Of families from tho Peninsula but for the last two
months they have been so numerous that at the present
time there is much difficulty in finding accommodation
for them. Many have gone down to Palizads and Ts-
bssco.
The remarks of this editor regarding tbs proprety Of
educating masses before giving them too much civil
power, coming, as they do, from Mexican editor,
10 denote that some ideas OF what is expected
from FREQ aud independent people arc beginning to
