FROM ACAPULCO. The Alta publishes the follow
ing letter, dated Acapulco, August 2lst:
Rumor is flying fast that young Sutter, son Of
the old General, has been politically used and po-
tey requested to leave this place by the next stea.
mer, though he is lying dangerously ill at the pres
ent time.
1t appears that an extract of letter written to
the editor of the editor German paper of your city,
and afterwards published in the Chronicle has civ.
en- offense to some one here, and more particularly
to the American Consul, and at meeting of five OF
the Generals, with the Governor and Consul, the
latter urged and insisted strongly upon the bansh-
ment from the country of Sutter for the obnoxious
article. After two days deberaton the matter
was postponed indefinitely all acting favoraby to
Sutter with the exception of the Consul, to whom
Sutter had not a word to say, but in frank and
upright manner denied to the others that he was
the author of the letter. Since this declaration
nothing has been said or DONE
Sutter is an American by adoption and should
be protected rather than condemned simply for ex.
pressing his opinion.
In the event OF the Alvarez party being success.
full this repl esentative will be rewarded with a
grant OF land near this place of much value Of
course he is not interfering with the politics of the
country; he does not countenance intrigues against
Americans, and is urging on this suicidal policy of
banishing all who do not think as he does
In postscript dated the 23d, he says:
saw young Sutter last evening, and on vester-
day and the day before the American Consul was
at the office of the Prefect, and insisted upon the
papers necessary for causing Sutter to be banished
from the country.
Sutter says the Prefect told him this, and if nec-
essary his name could be used as the author and
that he made remark in the presence of three
others that as soon as the war was concluded, and
he got his grant of land he was going to resign
his Consulship. trust, hope and pray that he
may be removed before that time
For days past report has been in circulation
that Generals Comonfort and Alvarez are no longer
upon those terms of intimacy in which the great
cause they are struggling for has heretofore bound
them, and that the former has sent to the latter
communication to the effect that he intends to take
the lead and pronounce himself the head of the
party fighting for power.
Gen. Alvarez very justly refuses to act as second,
having already done much work and made his
name tower of strength. He intends holding out
here fortifyng himself strongly; and will fight to
the last against all odds. His son. Don Diego, and
Generals Moreno, Zuluaga, and Villarreal, are in
telligent gentlemen and without doubt brave men.
With the others associated with him | am not ac-
quainted, and can not therefore speak. General
Alvarez is host within himself loved by the peo-
ple and his look is his word and his word the law
He is about IS years of age, stands feet l01a
inches. and is a hale, hearty fine looking old gen
tleman as you would wish to look upon.
The castle here is well garrisoned, having plenty
of ammunition of all kinds. At very short notice
he can raise 5000 men, who when called into ser
vice will give good account of themselves. Thi;
is the only intelligence can furnish you in regard
to the movement of the troops since my last
