Some seem to be OF the opinion that Alvarez is
much more formidable than represented py tae
apologsts Of Santa Anna-that tue President was
ccmp eled TO raise the siege OF Acapulco, LOT the
famine that was in the land for him, Wnlle MS

was entirely routed and cut to pieces, santa Anna
escaping with much trouble through the assistance
of his guide. find the supposition, also, that al.
