MEXICO, June 10, 1855.
Igaye you general account, in my last, of
the famous expedition Of Santa Anna against the
Revolu,ionists in the Department of NJ 'choacin,
AID will simply repeat here that more COM
plete failure, except perhaps that against Al
varez lately, never was seem After his heart
failed him during the storm in the mountains of
that Depar tment, on his march to the town of
Ario, Santa Anna made all haste to this city,
fearing that, notwithstanding all his endeayors
to stihe the truth, it would be announced and
commented upon to bis disadvantage before he
could get back He arrived at Tacubaya Ga
league from here) on Friday morning, the 9Th
inst, and remaining there all day, came into
this city at O'Clock in the evening amid the
silence of the grave, attended only by few aida
and him who is called Minister of War. There
was no display, no firing of cannon nor ringing
of bells; on the occasion of his return all was
STILL and he entered the town without creating
any more sensation than an ordinary traveller
would. During the afternoon of that day his
troops came in in small parties without music,
and groups of officers were seen entering at va
rious points, their gullen looks contrasting pecu-
harly with the vacant stare of the poor populace
who stopped to gaze at them as they passed on to
their teveral quarters
On the following day not word was said by
any of the papers in regard to Santa Anna, but on
the next thereafter the official organ announced
that His Serene Highness came in at so late an
"bour that the arrangements made to receive him
"were not carried into effect :" "that he had lett
" "a sufficient force to protect the people aud De-
apartment of MichOacan," and that peace at
"ler 9Th reigned there.
1t will be recollected, perhaps that stated that
the RevOlutionists had retired from Zamora, and
that a force equal in number was left there by
Santa Anna. Two days after he left for this city,
Omen appeared in that ne, hbOrhood, rObbing and
committing various depredations among the small
Arms situated in the vicinity of the town. The
inhabitants complained of this, and said "they
"boped the Government troops would not only
"rSp ain in and watch over the safety OF the large
towns, bat protect as well the defenseless ran
"ehos and villages which had ever been at the
"mercy of all parties" 1t is true that during
this revolution the large towns have been guarded
by the Government troops, while the villages have
been abandoned.
The most strenuous efforts are made by Santa
Anna to ste all reports in respect to the progress
of the Revolution, and the papers, at his instance
or that Of his friends, nearly silent on the sub
has been gained by the Government troops over
the rebels and all unite to impress the belief that
the present revolution is not Of the least conse-
quebce and persist in asserting that since the ex
petition of Santa Anna TO Morelia 1t is at an end,
while everything proves that the country is in a
state of anarchy unknown since the hrst year OF
the war of it's Independence
On the 9th inst, according to the official report,
there was a severe action between the Government
troops and the revolutionsts in the Department OF
Guerrero This report says the latter had 200
men, commanded by Villalya Jimenes and son of
Alvarez. They were stationed on q mountain in
the vicinity Of the rancho de Temiseo near the
town of Tixtla, from which point they defended
themselves for two hours and half, after which
"they retired in good order, keeping up brisk
and continued fire" The Government say the
"enemy lost t,oeaty, 6re killed, and carried away
"ther wounded aud also that they had percus-
:" sion muskets and plenty of ammunition, as was
"proyed by the fact of the continual firing during
4" their retreat"
After this affair and while retiring to the town
Of Tixtla, the Government forces were suddenly
attacked by an anbuscade of the enemy, aud after
another action Of two hours continued on to
Tixta. They claim the victory in this affair, re-
porting 20 Of the enemy killed and some prisoners
taken, who were Immediately put to death"
Another report (oficial) of the 9th inst SAYS
Ahat on the day previous an attack was made on
the town of Tetecala, (near Cuernavaca) by 500
Revolutonists under Gonzales, Hernandez, Fandi-
no, Casales Battalla and others This action lasted
seven hours ard a half The above report says
that sertn of the enemy were killed and that the
Government force was 90 men. The RevolutiOnists
retired removing every thing from the Government
Offices in the town, and taking also their wounded
with them.
Still another encounter with the Revolutionists
has taken place in Guanaju sto. 1t appears they
had 400 men. The Government claim the victory,
but report no killed or prisoners taken. We can
Of course get DO report of these encounters from
the other party.
This is about all the fighting that has taken
place near at home, but the Indians have lately
committed severe depredations in the district and
town OF Moctezuma (Sonora,) carrying off eight
little boys Similar scenes have lately occurred
in the Department Of Durango
Gen. Vol has declared II 9 whole DEPARTMENT
Of Tamaulipas in state of siege on account O. the
taking Of Monterey By the Revolutouists and
Santa Anna has issued decree for the con6sea-
ton of all goods entering into or leaving that town
during its occupation by them. The papers are
sled with abuse Of the people who took Monterey,
