In a despatc OF the sano date TO DouA rhomss
Moreno. at Acapulco, General Alvarez gives the fsl
lowing extract hOm letter written 70 hira by Juan
Franc Mariana, TN officer in his servces-"Ibeg
to inform your FIX ,elency, that the Les of July
instant being cncamped in the Cerro do 7soginsla-
received information that the people Of Acatepeo
and ce'e ent other people OF the district OF rapa,
had declared themselves in favor OF our plan and
that they needed assistance. This was given, and
~ soon as the enemy heard Of IL they marched
three hundred men against us. The skirmish wAs
brief almost as socn as they encountered our troops
they retrcated and after no. pursuit Of ,~o hours
dur stcn they wcre 0vertsken and completely routed
leaving in possession seventy y-nao guns, with
ammunition, horses mules, &c. On our side there

Another despatch from General Alvarez, dated
ProvidenJ a. july 10, announces that the people IL
the State Of Mishoscan have in large numbe do
clsied tb elr ashesion TO the revolutionary po-
Rramme, az also the inhabitants Of the mining dis.

The f,llowing summary appeazs in tie BbSstin Of
tire l5tl Of July -
Proy unciamentos multiply; vctnies over tho
forces OF tzGeneral Santa Anna succeed each other
every where. We have heard OF the reycrses SUI
tered by tho enemy in CortaGnica in the district Of
AjU ;hitlan, and in relo!oapan and ROW VIC have 70
ann TO the public the brilliant success that has
att ended our troops In Enotano, under the COM
III and pSGeneral Ssiado, against the soldiers Of
vahsnacyde; also OF the victories Of Cerro de lass
Muliasn tho district OF Tapa, and Of Coyucs in The
State Of Mchoacan. We have to deplore the deaths
OF macy Moxicans-soulc sacrificed TO the ambition
OF santa Anna, others 70 liberty; but we can con-
SOC eafselvcs With the hOPe that In tho Stste of
Michoacan there will be no moro sphling Of Aexi
can blood, since VIC have reason To believe that In
this ;rf Of the country at least, there exists no
LONGER any cause'for enacting tae horrors Of civil
wax.
| Within the last aiteen days many commissioners
i,om different places In the republic have reported
themselyes 70 his Exce1sncy the Commsnderia-
Chief who s in Providencia in order to receive In

The presa OF Mexico, and OF Other cities yet en-
slayed, sontinuc to give expression to the moss
srocious calumnies against the chiefs Of the ber-
atns army, ani aganst all who have joined its
ranks. For want Of argument, they employ The
most foul epithcts Of abuse In their condemnation;
but these writer's, without honor and without con
science We win not condescend to notice, but con-
sign both themselves and their miserable produc-
tions TO oblivion.
