ARRIVAL OF THE oRIzABA

So
Vera Cruz, which port she left on the ed inst,
arrived here yesterday morning, bringing dates
from the City of Mexico TO the 10th and Vera
Cruz to the I'D, as late as due. -
The most important item of news is the con-
firmation of the report Of the revolution and
overthrow Of the celebrated Count Raousset de
Bouillon by General Yanez at Guayamas. The
Count, it appears, arrived at Guayamas in a
small yessel-entered the city in disguise and
| under an assumed name. He Immediately pro-
| cured an interview with some of his most inti-
mate friends, belonging to a French battalion at
that place, and also conversed with the soldiers,
/ to the most of whom he was personally known,
proposing to them the capture of the place.
At first they turned from his proposition and
refused to have any thing to do with him, adj
yising him to return at once to San Francisco,
but he persisted in his efforts, and in the course of
few days had succeeded in gaining the whole
battalion Of four hundred troops over to his
purposes. He then openly avowed his inten-
tons, and endeavored to treat with Gen. Yanez
demanding of him certain hostages and the
surrender Of the artillery belonging to the post.
This the General refused, and the Count placed
himself at the head of his four hundred French
men, and led them on most resolutely to the at
tack. After three hours hard fighting, he was
forced to surrender at discretion, with the loss
of fifty killed and great many wounded. The
loss on the part Of the Government was but
fourteen killed. A few of his men escaped and
succeeded in getting on board of the little bark
that had brought the Count to Guayamas, and
which Immediately set SAIL
| There has been great rejoicing in Mexico over
this victory, Yanez has been promoted, and all
who took part in the battle have received a
cross Of honor especially created for the occa-
sion.
| AS to the disposition that has been made Of
the Count and his followers, we have the au-
thority Of Santa Annals official organ for saying
that he was adjudged and executed on the 10th
instant. and all his officers were treated in the
same manner, while the soldiers are to be placed
in vessels and conveyed back again to San
Francisco.
| The news from the South is unimportant. A
few small skirmishes have taken place between
the rebels and Government troops-but they
amount to nothing more than the killing and
wcunding of few on both sides. The Govern
ment continues to execute all the persons that
fall into its hands--as also to burn down all the
towns and villages that are suspected of harbor-
ing thoughts contrary to the welfare of Santa
Anna. The whole country outside of the city
of Mexico seems to be either in a state of revo.
luton, or ready to break out at any moment
| Three hundred troops have been ordered to
march from Monterey against the rebels at
Victoria in Tamaulipas. Two other towns in
Tamaulipas which had seconded the plan Of
Alvarez, have returned to obedience.
The decree confiscating the property of all
| rebels in the States of Guerrero, Michoacan
and Tamaulipas, is to be rigidly enforced
Gen, Minon and Saurez Navarro, lately ex.
lied from Mexico for political offences, have been
| recalled and reinstated to their former rank.
The Indians continue to be very troublesome
| in the departments of Durango and Nueya- Leon
but they have lately been frequently defeated
| by the troops.
The locusts continue their depredationsin the
southern portions of the country, destroying the
crops and making g famine inevitable. There
is great complaint on account of the scarcity OF
corn. ...-
Two notorious scoundreIs were executed in
the city of Mexico, on the 18th inst, for bur
glary.
4, General Nonega has surrendered up the COM
sFmand of the army in the South, on account OF
ill-health, and has retired to Mexico.
