We find in our exchanges the following items
of general news:
The insurgents have recently met with bad
fortune. 1t is stated that on the 31st ult, while
posted on the Limon Hills, under command of
Col. Nlllalba, they were attacked and utterly
defeated by the Government troops, under Col.
Zuloaga. About 400 of the insurgents were re-
ported slain, among whom was Villalba, and
their artillery and many of their horses and
| arms were captured.
1t is also stated that this stronghold of the
insurgents had been beleagured for sixteen days
before it was stormed.
Colonel Cover reports having captured the
town of Coyuca and taken twenty nine prison
ers All the officers engaged in the affair at
Liman have been promoted one grade, and Col
luloaya, the commander, has been created
General Of the Brigade.
We find in the Mexican papers no news of any
kind from Acapulco, or from Gen. Alvarez.
In Miohoacan alternate advantages are re-
ported. The troops of the Government had
reeaptured the town of Zitacuaro and the in
surgents had driven the Government forces
from Puerepero and Uruapan The Governor
of Michoacan has proclaimed laws of the most
severe kind against those who should disturb
public order, and several executions are an
nounoed
Ponalla, in the State of Chiapas, had also
pronounced in favor of Gen. Alvarez The
Government troops were about to attack them
On the 18th ult. decree was issued in the
capital, declaring that all persons circulating
false or alarming news, or that should censure
the acts OF the Government, shall be arreste t
as conspirators and subjected to fine of 5000,
with imprisonment for two months
A division Of troops under the command of
Col. Moreno had encountered large body of
the insurgents between Ayutla and Ajuchitan
(near the southern extremity of Guerro) and
completely routed and dispersed them.
The first of these victories, the Eco re-
marks, Is of vast Importance, and will go far
towards the establishment of peace in the
Department of Guerrero, to which end the Su-
preme Government has made such noble ex-
extions.
1t is also stated that detachment of 200
light troops of the line, under command of Col
Antonio Gomez, surprised the rebels, who had
risen against the Supreme Government in the
village of Coctzal, on the 18th ultimo, by sur
rounding the place in the night time Twenty
one rebels with arms in their hands were taken
prisoners, and four persons who attempted TO
escape by running were fired upon and wounded
Among those taken was a guerilla chieftain
named Jose Quirino, who, it is stated, aside
from having served as a soldier in the army Of
Alvarez, has been employed as constant spy
upon the operation of the Supreme Government
and the authorities of that village The ne.
cessary steps had already been taken, says the
Eco, to adjudge the delinquents and have
them punished which means that drum. head
court martial was held on the spot, and the poor
fellows shot.
The Eco of Vera Cruz publishes in an extra,
on the evening of the 4th inst, the following
telegraphic dispatch from the city of Mexico:
"MExIoo, Aug, 8, 1s54.-The Count Raous.
set de Boulbon, who lately disembarked al
Guayamas, to place himself at the head of the
French who had already arrived there and en-.
listed in our army, at whose head he raised the
standard of rebellion and pronounced against
the Government, was defeated on the 30ih ult
by Gen. Yanez, TO whom he surrendered, with
200 Of his compatriots, in which he lost 46 o.
his men. killed and wounded"
This dispatch is signed by Blanco, Minister O.
War, and is addressed to the Governor of Vera
Cruz. We hope it is more veracious than sons
of the previous dispatches of this officer.
The Eco, in commenting upon this occurrence
felicitates the General Government upon thu
success that attends its energetic measures for
the conservation of the public tranquility in al
parts of the country, and remarks:
Sc The lesson they have received at Guayama.
| will not be lost on these bands of adventurers
| who have fixed their longing eyes upon oul
country, especially when they are made Il
understand that they may expect from thu
energy of the Supreme Government the chas
tisement they SO richly Deserve
The revolt at Victoria, headed by a young
lawyer named Juan CARA was attracting con
siderable attention in Mexico,
