Execution of Count Boulbon.
MEXICO, Tuesday. Sept. 10, 1854.
You have doubtless learned by this time the tragi-
cal fate of Count Raousset de Boulbon. 1t appears
that the kindness evinced by General Yanez toward
the French soldiers at Guayamas had elected their
sympathy and attachment, much so that Rauous-
set, instead of commanding party of devoted fol-
lowers, found himself surrounded by reluctant COM
batants Twice they refused to be led 10 battle, and
when at length their consent extorted, they |
fought without enthusiasm or ardor. Such is the |
reason for the disastrous result of the expedi-
ton.
When in the midst of the engagement, Yanez rush
ed into the melee to the zeal of his soldiers,
unanimous cry of "spare the general from
the ranks of the French But for this universal
sentiment, Yanez would have fallen riddIed with
bullets
Raousset behaved like hero. Before surrender
ing he fought desperately, seeking death in every
direction; but mysterious Providence spared him
for ignominous fate. Perceivlng that his
men were giving way, he rushed alone upon the !
artillery near the barracks, which belching forth
destruction. Two Mexcans threw themselves upon |

Glove his antagonists head with sabre cut, and
stretched him lifeless But personal courage was of
no avail The entire plan Of the expedition was
faulty, and was in direct opposition to the sympa-
thies of the French.
Although YaneE liberated the one hundrel and !
eighty~seven Frenchmen who surrendered at dlscre-
ton, and dispatched them to San Bias with fifteen
dollars apiece for their support, the Mexican Gov |
eminent has refused to sanction this generous pro-
ceedng, and gave orders TO imprison the Frenchmen
on their arrival at Topic. 1t at one time
question whether fifteenth tenth of the
prisoners should not be shot, as an example; but,
thanks to the active inerposilion of the French
minister, this idea was abandoned. The prisoners
their way to Mexico, where their destiny will
be decided. Along the route-at Topic and Guada-
subscriptions were opened for their behalf with
considerable success
General Yanez is completely disgraced He has
been deprived of his rank, is about to be court. mar
tailed, and the Government has limited at his .
execution as traitor to the country. He is accused
of having exceeded his instructions in pardoning the
French, and of having, by misplaced Ienity, occa-
stoned the conflict of the 18th July. The truth of
the matter is, that General Santiago Banco feels
that the brilliant triumph won by Yanez is stern
rebukc to his brother, Miguel Blanco, who, two
years ago. was SO thoroughly defeated at HermosiIIa.
Be this as it may an order has been despatched for
the of Yanez. But who will bell the cat -

present condition of things cannot possibly continue
much longer
