The papers which reach us announce success
ses of II. NJ. S. A. against the revolutionists.
At last accounts, it will be recollected, We
left him en- route from Morelia, toward Zamora,
where it was said they had made great prepa-
rations to give battle to him. He had not
been heard of for two or three days it was
not known at what point he was, and unfavor-
able reports were in circulation.
At o'clock in the evening, news received
that the fugitives had been overtaken and
routed. Lieut.. Colonel Grimaret, who con-
veyed the announcement and standards taken
from them, was followed by moro than 1000
prisoners, raising viuats for Santa Anna and
death-cries against the revolutionists. Pueb-
litas followers, it appears, most shamefully
forsook him. Sixty Of them, however, were
left dead on the field. Three officers, Ordonez,
Perez, and Burras, who had pronounced with
Negrette in giving up tho place to the revolu-
tionsts in April, were taken prisoners, shot,
and their bodies hung on trees by the road
side. -Four of the prisoners, who had belonged
to the band OF Buenrostro, were shot the fol-
lowing morning The city offered pecuniary
assistance to Santa Anna, but he declined it.,
as not being in need Of it. He returned for
Morelia the following day, reaching it on the
2lst. General MARQUEE was left in command
OF Zamora. 20
On the 23d, he left Morelia with 1000 men
| for Patzcuaro, where he arrived the next day.
| On the 26th he left this for AriO, where, it is
said, Comonfort is posted with 1900 men.
Ario is situated in the mountains, about two
leagues from Patzcuaro. The road is very
bad, and can be travelled only on horseback,
and the climate and locality very unhealthy.
The D;ario Official reports that the band
commanded by Santos Degollado has been
routed. 1t endeavored, it appears, to pene-
trate into Ixtlahuaca, the garrison OF which,
however, repulsed it. 1t then endeavored to
make for Temoya, with Gen. Tavera in pursuit.
Other reports, were, however, that Degollado
was advancing ON Mexico. Gen. fires was
therefore sent from Tacubaya to meet him in
front. The band then fed in the direction eff
Villa del Carbon, and fires returned. Gen.
Tovera followed him through Tepeji, where
they raised money and horses, as they had all
along the road, and finally, on the 2oth of May,
he overlook them at Pitzayuca, and after san
culinary fight of an hour and half, completely
routed them The loss on either side was not
given. 1t is stated in the Universal that after
| the first fire, q great number of the Govern
ment soldiers who pronounced at Zamora,
commenced a cry in favor of Santa Anna, and
fired on the rebels themselves. Gen. Tavera
caused forty prisoners, whom he took, to be
shot. On the Both of May Gen. Tavera was
at Zumpango. Degollado, with one hundred
men, had been passing the Temoya estate.
