ACAPULCO, Mexico, Feb. 5;h.
Since the sailing of the las, steamer,
we have had nothing but military re-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fitted out with
new uniforms-forma,ions OF regiments
and br.gades. IG fact, doubt if ever
such a collection of men will ever be
seer for years to come in Acapulco.
Having Witnessed many demonstra.
tons Of rejoicing, and seen many pro.
cessions, both religious and political, in
not only this, 5ul other portions of Mex
leo. have yet to see such a spontaneous
manifestation as was displayed on yes.
terday, at the reception given to the gal
liant old chieftain of the South. Alvarez;
and wha, is very singular, this is the first
time he has visited Acapulco since the
days Of the Spanish Revolution, when
he captured the Castle of San Diego
The road from the Garita to the Plaza a
distance Of one league. was lined on both
sides with soldiery, under the command
of Gen. Ramon Jose GInsasola.
At the Gari,a. he was received by the
civil f~unclionaries, and in passing, the
different regiments dropped their co'ors,
the men presented arms and the band
played national airs.
On the right rode Gen. Thos. Moreno
and on his left Gen. Ignacio Comfort,
and yonr correspondent, whose feelings
OF patriotism, prompted him TO add his
mite in receiving one whom he SO highly
appreciates for his many noble qualities.

In appearance Alvarez, looks abou,

since ! saw him last, tie arewo ex

of his face from which can be read. 81

grand ball was given 10 his honor in or.

The fitting up Of the rooms would have
compared favorably with those Of ours
at home. At the head of the ball room,
over The chair occupied by Alvarez, hung
the ''stars and stripes" and the flag Of
The Republic of Mexico, their graceful
folds indicative of sister harmony; and it
is gratifying TO see the private as well as
public sentiment of good understanding
existing towards the U. S. and her Cit

Charles WiI,hen, ESQ.,. was present, no,

Chas. l.. Denman, Esq, who with his
accomplished lady, made the festival
complete.
In a few days the Chieftain, at the
head of 5000 troops, leaves for the cap

The First Brigade will be under The
command of Gen. Moreno, and will take
up its march on the 9Th, and | canno,
permit this opportunity to escape with a
mere mention Of Moreno's name. He
is one of The best military educated men
in this country, and was born in Pensa
cola, Florida. His pedigree is of the
old Moreno's and De Sotos-both names
welleknown in our Southern States as
families Of the highest standing and re
speciibili,y. The General was educated
at 81. Joseph's College, Bardstown, KY,
and although in the year 1923 he expa.
tria,ed himself and became a citizen of
the republic. still does he retain the high
toned chivalric honor and bearing of that
State in which he was educated. Dur.
ing our wal with Mexico, in all the en-,
gagements On both lines of operations,
he not only took an active and conspicu.
Gus part, but has since then took an &C
tive service on the frontier. Finding in
his last engagements at Nuesco, Santa
Anna. seeing~his pronunciamento. which
accompanies this letter, abandoned him
ant his entire command, and that no
dishonor could be attributed, he, with
his brigade, composed of nine regiments
have pronounced in favor Of tina, party
which from his position in the army, he
was forced to oppose BY military duty
and law until the opportunity arrived
when he could give expression TO his
feelings of patriotism. His acquisition
to the liberal party has already been
strongly felt; ard from town to town, as
the news arrived have the government
troops pronounced in favor OF Alvarez.
