Battle between MeXicanS and
Indians,

The Victoria (Texas) Advocate gives
an account of an engagement on the 9Th
ult., at a place called dinner, about sixty
miles west of San Patricio, between thlr-
teen MeXicans belonging to the rancho or
Judge Love and party of Camanche
Indians:
The MeXlcans were out Musfanging,
and were attacked by about twenty Indi-
ans, whom they succeeded in beating back
two hundred yards-three of their own
number being wounded and four Indians
Killed.
The Indians being then reinforced. a
large body (about SO) having i'll the mean
time come up with about four hundred
horses. renewed the attack, a portion on
horseback, and the balance on foot, acting
Us infantry. The Mexicans dismounted,
{ d, seeking the shelter of the woods,
prepared for desperate resistance.
The Indians charged with great bold
ness, and hand 10 hand fight ensued, in
which nine OF the Mexicans were killed
and the remainder wounded except one.
The wounded escaped to a thicket where
they remained until next morning, when
the Indians leaving, they hastily buried
the manglcd bodies of tier companions,

The Texas Difficulty.

We find the following in the New ork
Courier and Enquirer
The President after the consolation
with the Cabinet, has determined to an
swer the remonslrance of Gov. Bell OF
Texas, against the interference of Colonel
Monroe in the civil affairs of New Next
co. The President replies that there has
been no usurpation of Executive power
by Il a; officer, and that in issuing the call
for the State Convention in New Mexico,
Col. Monroe, although he proceeded with
out direct orders or instructions from
Washington, committed no violation OF
right, having been authorized 10 act in his
individual capacity whenever called upon
by the people. President TAYLoR's course
is sustained in every particular so far as
has yet been developed. No purpose has
been expressed to Governor Bell respec-
ting the intention Of the Government to
maintain its present possession OF New
Mexico, since that topic was not alluded
10 in Gov. Bells communication.

4 SCHEME OF DIsrNloN.-The Wash
ing,on correspondent Of the n. Y. Cour-
i~r s7eaks of scheme OF disonlon deIlh-
cratclv planned, and, to a certain extent
actually prosecuted.
Ii is alleged that an individual Of no
small Influence at the South, repaired TO
the city Of Mexico in April last, and sub
mirted to the Mexican authorities formal
overture for their cooperation in the es-
adjustment of a Southern Confederacy.
Conference after conference was held, and
at length the Mexican Minister of Foreign
Affairs espoused the proposition and sire
nuously advocated it IN Cabinet Council.
The measure was resisted by other MEM
hers of the Ministry, and was finally de-
tea,ed. The British legation, 1t is said,
connived at, if it did not openly counie'
nance this infamous treason.
