AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.

We find In the Mexican intelligence accounts of
several successes on the part of the Government
but nothing of the whereabouts of Alvarez. We
have also accounts of the most horrible barbartes
and cannibaliam among the Indians in the North
ern States Of Mexico, of which the Pcayuno gives
the following synopsis:

of the Indians lately is one in which they made
hole beneath the chin of a young man, through
which they passed a cord, taking 1t through the
mouth, go hanging him up BY his chin to a tree
and making him target for their arrows Another
in which tho wretches cut some pieces of flesh
from the launches of poor infant, roasting them
and eating them. while the agonized little creature
