the success of the liberal party
The following extracts from letter written by gen

SAN Luis PoYosr Aug l6, 1861 arrived at this
place with the liberal army the 18th Instant nothing
having previously taken place that is worth mentioning.
At the towns Of Charcas Vaado Hedondo, and in this
city, ydaurri has been received with triumphal arches
merry peaing Of BELLS firing of rockets &C., all of which
done to demonstrate the Joy that his arrival at those
places has caused. ~
Miramon has concentrated his forces at the Valley.
Guanajuato Ciloa Celaya and Queretaro, the only
places held by that reactonist chief who has $500 men
at his command Cobos, Perez Gomez and other chiefs,
have united with Mamon with their respective forces,
and you will notice that notwithstanding their being
sembed all together they do not amount to four thousand
including the forces of Iiceaga
Our forts having been repaired and in better condition
than before Miamon and his allies would meet thorough
defeat if they reckless enough to attempt attack
upon Luis whose garrison does actually consist of
foot and forty pieces of artillery with the corresponding
nd all confidence their
their valor, &C., which doubles their strength.
Sr Banco is stationed at Guadalaara with 200 rifle
On their way from Monterey are 200 men of all
arms. In summing up the number of these forces we
find them to amount to $500, all of which natives
of Nuevo Leon Coahuila, excepting some 800 from
catecas and San Luis good people who have this
fought bayey by the side of the frontiesmen and who
are possessed of the sense of superiority.
Coronado has about 900 citizens of Coahuila, and
has received orders to unite his forces with those at this
place With this force and Others that will congregate
during the whole of the present month in this city, Gov
Vdaurr hopes to have at his immediate command 100
men, with which he will begin operations against Guiana
uata and the city of Mexico and it may be assured
that the capital will be easily taken San Luis
The which in this place will sally out
time between the LIST and 9TH of next month"; while Don
Santiago their supervisor ever, has insured with
tual resources the existence and permanency OF his
army, which has forty pieces of artillery here, and
fourteen their way from Monterey that are to
arrive within four or five days.
From my position can take clear view of things,
and have thorough confidence that the issue will be
favorable to the liberal cause.
