MORE OF THE INDIAN TROUBLES IN yUcATAN.
VERA Cruz, June 9th, lSiS.-By the French brig
| of war Pyade, received letters from Campeachy,
and other parts of Yucatan up to the 18th inst The
distressing accounts from those quarters will deep
!y engage the sympatnes of all persons who feel
inclined to protect the cause OF civilization and
humanity. In the present stage OF this war OF
castles it is useless to investigate the causes and
the origin of it, let only look to the fact, that
our white brethren are massacred by overwhelm-
| ing numbers of Indian savages, and that even
Lube nf{a do
destroy the lives Of women, children, of the sick
and old, nor can the ministers of our Saviour
escape from the ruthless foe.
Still | beg to assert that the commissioner of
Yucatan, Mr. Sierra, stated but the full truth when
he published the fact that the Indians 4 Yucatan
held equal social and political rights with the
white population; and that the government had
stays there, and when travelling amongst them,
often compared the position of those Indians 10
that of our peasants and laborers Europe, and in
most respects concluded that their lot in lite was
by far easier one than that of our European
brethren. Whenever saw distress, could clear
ly trace it to the proveIbial Indian improvidcnce,
and TO their intemperance and superstition. Still
trave Her IN fucatan would but year ago be
struck by the general features of the country, the
fine, well laid out villages, and the healthy and
clean appearance OF the inhabitants. The insur-
rection since August last has laid waste the whole
country, and towns and villages are now but a
heap of ruins and cmbers. The town of Yzamal,
about fifteen leagues from Merida, has lately been
taken, and il is supposed that many hundred lives
were lost. In one day, about fortnight before
the taking of Yzamal, 1000 persons, mostly
women and children, entered, fugitives from their
dwellings, into the city of Merida, saving but their
lives for short me. All accounts and letters
from highly respectable parties, which I received
during those days, conceded in the opinion that
without prompt aid from the United States,
the whites will be Obliged to abandon even

large place near Merida, is likewise in the
hands of the Indians, and these will soon surround
Merida, place with neither natural nor artificial
defences. The prophecy of Gillian Balaam, an
Indian sorcerer at the time of the conquest, that
