brave and very intelligent men. ] had heard much
about General Alvarez being Indian, "a Pinto) ald
an ignorant rfan: but he has displayed great acumen
and energy OF character here and his Intelligence

pres the press while that Of the former was to estab
lsh complete freedom therein
lie has about five thousand men fairly equipped
and portion of them well drilled and is strongly posted
in the mountain passes betwt here and the city Of
Mexico, where he awaits santa Anna.
