MEXICO, Tuesday, June 5, 1855.
Santa Anna has not returned from his journey
to Morelia. You will recOlect he left here on
the SSth April last. He did not remain any time
at Morelia, but passed through that city on the
18th Of MAY and continued on to Zamora, about
20 leagues distant. where pretty large force,
sayl SEQ, of the ReyOutionists had been for some
fortified But as lie approached they began to
retire, and on arriving at that place with his
troops, 22d May, the other party had dispersed
themselves into various small parties and were
retiring to different points Pueblita with part
of his forces was on his way to the Rancho OF
Roiena, situated about three leagues from Ia
mona. but before he had fairly got there the
cavalry of Santa Anna overlook him and an en-
connter took place-a flying skirmish-which
the Government saws lasted an hour and hall, but
he with his forces reached the ranch with loss,
though the cavalry did not think proper to follow
them into the place and retired to the main body Oh
Santa Annals forces. The Government reports that
the enemy lost 90 killed, one piece OF cannon
(favorite nun bers) and 80 muskets.
This news was received in Mexico on the I'D
ult. with the usual ringing of bells and music
through the streets. IL was stated that COM
plete victory was gained over the insurgents anu
that they had all been killed and dispersed and
would never be able to reunte; that the reVolu-
ton was now at an end, and congratulated the ma
ton on the successful result OF his serene flgn-
ness's expedition Government papers have since
increased their endeayors in his favor and have
landed him On account of this skirmish as one OF
the greatest heroes Of modern times.

place, The RevolutiOnists separated into small
