ALVAREZ AND SANTA ANNA.

Ihe following account we extract from let
ters to the New York Herald, dated on board
the United States ship Portsmouth, at Aca-
pulco, June 7th, 20, and 22d:
June 7th-We arrived at this port on the
I'd instant, nine days from Mazatlan. This
city is perfectly quiet; business is at stand
bark Serene, of San Francisco. The city and
fort are still in the possession OF General Alva-
rez and his party, and it will be hard days
job for Santa Anna to rout him out. Alvarez,
with three thousand troops, is on the pass,
twenty miles distant from here. The gallant
and brave Colonel Commeford, with four hun
dred brave soldiers, holds the fort, which is
mounted in most powerful manner.
On the 10th of last month Santa Anna, with
six thousand troops, retreated and started back
towards the city of Mexico. Alvarez, it is
said, will receive by the next steamer from San
Francisco loan of three millions of dollars.
The whole of the inhabitants are opposed to
Santa Anna. The cry is "Down with the ty
rant! Long live Alvarez" who it is said, is
awaiting to give Santa Anna warm reception,
should he come back again.
June 20.-On the 10th, detachment of
General Alvarez's troops gave battle to General
Santa Annas troops, near the Mescalla river.
A captain and thirteen of Santa Annals sol
ders were killed, and forty taken prisoners,
with twenty pack mules and large quantity
of baggage and stores. Santa Annas troops
then retreated. There are in Acapulco 1000
troops. The rest of General Alvarez's army
are stationed at different points on the national
road, between Acapulco and the city of Mexico.
These troops are all well drilled, and are deter

Annas tyranical yoke, or lose their lives in the
attempt.
On the morning of the 10th, news arrived at
Acapulco that the city of Mexico, together
with six of the States, had revolted in favor of
Alvarez and against Santa Anna. A salute Of
one hundred guns was fred from the fort, the
bells were rung, and it was day of general
rejoicing. This afternoon we shall go outside
aud cruise off the harbor until the steamers
from San Francisco and Panama come along
(which will probably be tomorrow and convoy
them in and out of the port. 1t is expected
that we shall leave for Callao about the first of
July.
Il
June 22.-Since our letter bag was closed
this morning, we got under weigh and got out
side and ran alongside Of the Santa Anna.
Captain ID. sent a message on board to inform
her commander that we had come out to cor
voy the steamer into port, and should do so as
soon as they hove in sight. Her commander
replied that he should consider the blockade
was broken, and should quit forthwith he ac-
cordingly made all sail and left for Mazatlan.
So the port of Acapulco is again open to all.
The commander Of the Santa Anna was glad to
have chance to leave; he stated that he was
short Of provisions, had, out of a crew Of seven.
ty-fve, twenty-five on the sick list, had buried
four within week, and had not heard from
Santa Anna for some time. The English cor.
