Affairs In Mexico

From the n. y. Picayune, October 20
BY the arrival here this morning, OF the schooner
Oregon, Captain Trenis, from Tampico. the 9Th
instant, we have received files OF Ell Sigio, from
the city of Mexico, to the I'D ultimo, and of FL
Defcnsor and Nit,closo, of Tampico, to the end of
September.
1t appears that the accounts we formerly gave, of
the defeat of the Indians in the Sierra Gorda,
not exaggerated. Gen. Uraga, the victor at Sail
tire, has very handsomely refused a sum of money
offered by the government to him and his officers,
for their bravery, the plea that acceptance of II
would degrade the profession of arms.
The cholera has nearly ceased its ravages
throughout Mexico.
The hostile Indians on the frontiers, have re-
celved severe chasusement IN several encounters
lately, from American guerilla parties IN the ser
vice OF Mexico.
The Sigio says that rumors are rife about ano.
| ther attempt at revolution, In order TO replace
Santa Anna In power. Ii deprecates such a
movement, and points 10 the three successive un-
fortunate Administrations OF the eX-Dlctator, as
evidence Of his fatal influence on the country.
The Tamplco Defens0r says that President Her
rera has sent an order TO the District Judge OF
Tsmaulipas, to collect information on the imputed
crimes of Don Jesus Cardenas, the Governor OF
that State, with view to his being brought Ia
punishment. The Detensor calls aloud for Carde-
mass clsnlssal from office, previously TO the col
lection OF evidence against hun, and is unsparng
in denunciations against both hun and Colonel
Canaes, his creature.
The lower house of Congress, on the Goth ult
declared The election OF the deputies from Yucatan,
which lately took place, null aud void.
The Governor of the State of Coahuila, in view
of the contraband trade which exists on the from
tiers, where American goods are surreptiuousy in
/ iroduced, has minated tn the subordinate auho-
/ riues that they will be held responsible in their
property for the loss sustained by the public reve-
nue.. I'VE suppose this means that they will be
! fined for neglect OF duty
III Sigio of the 22d ult. states that the late VIC
tory Of Gen. Uraga over the insurgents IA the ST.
ezra Gorda, has so displrted them thai there are
now hopes Of a speedy paciication of that hot bed
OF revolt. That paper expresses the opinion that
within month from that date peace will be re-es-
tabllshed throughout the Sierra
FL Sigio, OF the 2Oh, states that the $4,000
sent by the general government TO Yucatan was an
opportune relief TO that State The siege OF Baca-
lar bad been raised by the Indians, but that of tt
hosuco was closely pressed.
The Tamp,co NOticioso insists that the object o.
the secret expedition was TO invade the State oil
| Tamaulpas.
! The 10Th Of September, the anniversary Of Mex
/ can Independence was celebrated with great POM
/ both m Tampico and the capital.
The N0ftcioso is very indignant at the reported
expulsion Of the Spani>h Americans from the mines
at California, and in the same connection intmites
that the "Butlalo Hunters" have had an agent
among the insurgents OF the Sierra, lnstlgatng
them tn revolt
The Tampico Defcnsso is Informed that Gen. La
Vega has resigned his command.
