m
:, uhch il is felt by all tina. an advance has been
made. in many respects, the opposition which Is
.vp.u,mous with the clergy, notwithstanding the
lsssons they have re ,eiyed, still continue their
efforts 70 overthrow this General Government; and
from present appearances there are troubles IN
embryo wlrlch threaten to be serious, and may ere
bong break out and envelop the whole OF this unior-
tupa,e country again in their devastating embrace
I'm various parts law,ess armed bands have not
eeased, and still prowl about, infestlng the hgn,
WINS and plundcriug the towns and Peac''li
villages Several prouucamlcn'oS nave A'!

Of the garrison of Marayatio STATE 81 hlcn' ' 49,

and it is said, they were all re'"Aen fr,ba
DAYS anerward, but we have 10 WI! '''''
report Of IT'S truth. ...-5 ,to mo,
.,arr;,c ~ the present moment is the invasion "l
abont 500 Indians from the mountainous fesiou "
the State Of Qgerearo INTO NE hhdDl''u pm I'm "
a. cam. and the assauliug and taking possession
f,f Ia.
This event took place on the 18th INST after
seyer. skiruish between the garrison "f That CITY
and The invaders. in which the commander OF the
said garrison was killed. They also proclaim re-
Epion and the privileges of the clergy and beside
this the repartiton Of land which, To utiaine their
passions the more they are told has been usurped
from them.
These Indians are next in degree above mere
savspes, more than half naked, brutal creatures,
con manded by one OF their own kind but educated,
and has been long iii tie service Of the various
Governments that have existed here, which have
supported him account OF his Influence over those
people and also to keep their turbulent dispositions
quiet. These are the instruments Of the Church,
and Of the opposition in general; and they now
have possession of one OF the finest cities AID States
of the whole Republic. Troops are being sent
against these bsrbarlans and there Is not nuch
doubt oftheir being driven off or captured; but we
see clearly now the determination OF the opponents
Of progress and what means they are capable OF
resortug TO in order Ia gain their ends. And with
their money, influence and unscrupuOusness, com
bned with the poverty of the Government We do
not very distinctly foresee how the latter Is eventu
ally to resist their power. Nevertheless, the Gov
eminent has the sympathes OF the best OF the In
babitants and the present attempts o the OPPOSE
ton may only prove i'll the end 10 be mere annoy
ances We anxiously await the events OF the
next few months. The endeayOr OF the opposition
is to put the country into complete State OF con-
fusion, by all kinds of means, in order to avail
themselves of the old pre'ext to call IN another
Government to restore peace and order
Besides the aforementioned difficulties, 1t must
be remembered that Vi daurri is still in arms and
appears to be determined that the General Gov
ernment shall not interfere in the affairs OF the
State Of NuevO-LeOn. He only Obeys such OF the
general DEGREES as suit his fancy; but, in fact his
is a separate and independent Government. II is
said that Commissioners have arrived here from
him to treat with the President of the Republic.
In the mean time, we regret Ia an apparent
apathy on the part of the Constituent Assembly.
A great part of the time there Is no quorum, and
greater part is spent i'll useless debate. The
other day dispute arose between two members,
and they came to blows. The offender has been
handed over to the ordinary tribunals. Oh complaint
of the offended party, for trial for assault Their
