War in Mexico Again.

For some time past, we have had reports
ofinternal difficulties IN Mexico, assuming
the character Of an internal war, and rev.
olution, and probable overthrow again of
the wooden-legged hero, Santa Anna. But
the reports Of the progress of events are so
contradictory that it IS with great difficulty
that we can arrive at the real facts.
Scarcely does the journalist chronicle a
victory or defeat of one or the other party
before he is abashed by precisely contra
dtctory news. Every temporary success
is magni6ed by either party into a great
victory, and so we hang in doubt from day
to day. Now, however, some really def
mite and reliable facts seem to be diclosed.
The Mexican correspondent of the New
Orleans Bee, gives us reliable information
under date Of June 9Th, of the appea rance
of insurgent forces near the city of Mexi-
co, of the advance of Santa Anna from
Morelia to Arrio, of his humiliating re-
treat and the capture of Monterey by the
revoutionis,s. The report which has been
already published in the various journals
OF this country of the capture Of Zamora
by Santa Anna, appeared to be much more
of an achievement than it really was.
With that was coupled the story of the de-
ieat of the insurgent leader Pueblita. That
portion OF the news was false. Pueblita
with his troops had left Zamora before the
arrival of the government troops, and there
fore, the latter had simply to march in and
Take possession.
The insurgents took different routes
from Zamora, and considerable division
of them under the command of Degollado
were marching almost to the very walls of
the Capital, while his Serene Highness
was on his march into the interior. De-
gollado had been induced to this course by
partisan of the patros Villanueva, who
had promised to raise the standard of revo-
luton in the city, which, however, he failed
TO do. The city was for some time in great
CONSERVATION, for Degollado was within
iour leagues of the walls with troop of
1900 horse. The Cabinet in the absence
OF Santa Anna dispatched Gen. Zires with
force of six or seven hundred men
against Degollado, but the latter fell back
upon Tacubaya. Meantime Santa Anna
sent force under Tavara to attack him.
Degollado was taken at disadvantage.
where he was compelled to fight. Both
parties claim the victory. Degollado, af-
ter the battle, resumed the route to Micho-
acan.
After the capture of Zamora, Santa An
ma returned to Morelia The full reports
OF the movements of the different forces
OF Alvarez, the leader of the insurgents,
and OF Santa Anna with the government
troops has already been published.
The revolution has assumed formidable
dimensions, and has been, coniured up by
Santa Anna himself. from his efforts to ape
the Louis Napoleon style, of securing an
endorsement at the ballot-box. His money
and his factions have also contributed ,o
the result. He has now neither the pres
uge, the talent. nor the courage to lay the
spirit he has raised. 1t is said to be the
general opinion in Mexico, that his days
OF rule are numbered, and that ere long
his government will tumble into undis-
unguished ruin. The usurper's fall must
Soon be complete.
