aud Blancurte were about the pidce. The f,rces
on either side were about equal, each having ac
cording tc estimates, six thousand men. The CO.

for the purpose of impeding the further progress

was active in his movements, and on the afternoon
of the 9th, the troops OF the government had ar
rived at CeTro Gordo, point near Salamanca The
troops OF the coalition moved ont to attack but no
decisive blow was struck, and both armies went
into camp for the night.
Tho following morning, the 10th, the coalition
again moved to the. attack, but it was with the
greatest difficulty that GEN Parrodi could get his
soldiers On the field. DOb!ado had already COM
menced to show his want of faith in himself OF his
cause, aud therefore at the critical moment the
action OF the coalition stultified A sort of
charge, however, was made, and several specimens
OF individual bravery were exhibited, but all avail

On the line to Vera Cruz and towards the south

The commander OF the castle fired upon the troons

Gen Echeagary had come up with that point the
several days the forces of the two parties were in

his line of march in the rear of Ecleagaray.
Llave was, at our latest dates, at the Castle of
Perote, and Echeagaray was at a hacienda called
san Antonio, few leagues this side of Lave In the
plain of Perote.
