THE SIEGE or cAxPEAoHY.

+
By the arrival yesterday Of the schooner Rafael
from Campeachy, we have received nes Of the Bole.
tin del Espiritu PubHeo to Tie 27th ult.
We learn from these papers that Campeachy Is
still in possession Of the revolutionists We cannot
find any detailed record Of the operations Of the
besegers. Their operations are probably conducted
with Characteristic languor. The Campeachy people
had received $50 new guns and supply Of powder.
The Boietin hints pretty strongly that there are
traitors within the city and demands that they be
vigorously dealt with. It appeals to Comonfort to
put stop to the war ty calling Of the troops and
attributes the outbreak to the interference Of Mendez
the Governor with the freedom Of election. The re-
voutonary party does not seem to be in league with
the reactionary faction in other parts Of the country
On the contrary the Botin appears to be particular
y hostile to Santa Anna and alludes to Comonfort
the Saviour Of the country.
A general order Of the commander in the town de-
nounces eleven individuals as traitors, and declares
them unworthy to belong to any corps within the
electoral district Of Campeachy.
The besieging party still held possession Of the
suburb Of San Francisco The Boletin accuses them
Of committing all sorts Of depredations among which
the most prominent is the taking Of cattle without
paying for them. 1t says that many Of the inhabi.
tants Of the surrounding village have been forced to
| take refuge in the woods Manuel Peraza Cepeda,
the beseigng commander, had burnt the vessels lay
ing OF San Francisco and yet fire to the suburb Of
Guadalupe, by which number Of edifces were de.
stroyed.
Colonel Ruiz Of the besiegers, had been severely
wounded by a cannon ball. They, (the besiegen, J

By this arrival previous reports Of the capture
of Sisal by the Campeachy troops is confirmed. Til,

The enemy lost three killed and six wounded. Th.
victors captured four twentyfour Founders, one six

LAUNCH OF THE GREAT EAsTEaNs-zWe Iearnhy The
advices received by the Fulton that Gncs the failure
Of the first attempt to launch the Great Eastern, II
has been determined to keep the day Of the second
trial profound secret. The concourse Of spectators
in the shipyard and the river, was great the
former OCCASION that successful launch must have
resulted in loss Of life, and it Is part avoid the
recurrence Of such danger that strict aeclesy as to
future plans has been resolved upon. Reports,
however, have been in circulation that on certain
day the attempt would be repeated and on that day
crowds Of people gathered about the gates Of the
yard to be disappointed, and excursion spectators
made considerable sums Of money by taking the
curious on to the river to witness spectacle that
they knew would not be presented.
The preparations for making the next attempt are
now completed, and the launch awaits the signal Of
Mr.. Brunei. The workmen even will not have an
hours notice. The event win probably take place
soon, for the ways have yielded, and continue to
yield so that with every week that she remains in
her present position, the difficulties increase Of NOV
| ing her at all. III

THE CoNNEcrIcUT PoIsoNING CAsE.-We learn
from the Boston Traveller Of the I'd Inst that the ex
animation Of Mrs. Phelps Hocomb and Mr.. Robinson,
at Taritfvle, CT, on the charge Of poisoning Mr..
Hclcomb husband of the first named, had been con-
cluded. The Court discharged the accused, saying
that though according to the evidence, Mr. Holcomb
came to his death by poison, administered either by
accident design, the evidence is not sufficient to
hold the accused for trial. ss 81
