New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1858-04-21
Later from Mexico.

By the arrival yesterday of the brig Brllianto, we
are placed in the possession Of copy Of the Vera
Cruz Progreso, Of the 1lth inst, few days later
than our previous adyices from that port.
II contains no news of further operations in the
interior, but publishes long correspondence between
ST. Zamora, Governor OF the State Of Vera Cruz and
General Echeagaray, in command OF division Of the
Zuloaga forces at Nopalucan This correspondence
was caused by General Echeagaray transmitting to
the Governor copies Of dispatches, announcing that
Guanajuato had pronounced for the Supreme Gov
ernment, that Dobado had placed his forces at the
disposition of 0sollos, and that ParTodi in Leon was
about to do the same He remarks in his note al
communicate this in order to convince yoa that to
continue separated from the Supreme Government
will be to resist the torrent of public opinion, and
without result imbrue in blood the territory Of the
Department Of Vera Cruz
To this Zamora replies that he believes Echeagaray
has been deceived by the party In power at the cap
tai, and that his communication does not agree with
intelligence in his (Zamoras) possession. He states
that the inhabitants of Vera Cruz are resolved to de-
end to their last breath their rights and the prnci-
Piles Of liberty. We have,' he says, forces sufi-
cient, and perfect faith in the triumph of our
with the precedent that in all our political reyolu-
tons that cause which this heroic city advocated has
invariably triumphed." He says, further, that if
Echeagaray persists in his present attitude of hos
tilty to the State Of Vera Cruz, blood must soon
flow that not upon the latter will rest the response
bility, and warns him that he is acting under no
other warrant than that of the chief of faction at
war with the national cause.
In another letter of later date (Apr 4th) Zamora
proposes to Echeagarsy union under the flag Of the
tote If
that such union would be proper and beneficial to
the country "Any plan of revolution" he says,
" the best that can be conceived, will but foment
anarchy. proof of the truth of this is, that among
those who sustain the lawful Government there are
no complications, no differences while the reaccon-
d'ios do not yet know themselves desiring
Santa Anna for the Presidency, others the migrate
Zuoaga; and in the camp of the reaction there are
those who claim that position for Osollo = =
Vidauri is upon San Louis with 5000 men and 5000
rifles to arm those who willing to aid in defending
the laws Cara, who has arrogated the right OF
importation in Tampco, will occupy that city within
few days; the forces of the States commanded by
Parrodi intact, with Arteaga and others at their
head; in that of Guanajuato many parties have
arose, and one of them, under Mariana Cuesta has
cavalry force of more than a thousand men Micho-
aean arouses like colossus, and Juan Alvarez pre-
pares for the combat. A revolution, unpopular,
already divided by the wretehed traitors in its BOSOM
and with man so worthless as Zulosga at its head
it is not possible ii can triumph"
To this Echeagaray replies that the proposed union
under the flag of Vera Cruz is impossible because it
is not the State of Vera Cruz that has proclaimed the
defence of the Constitution Of 1857 but the caprice
of one whose vanity causes him always to manifest dis
contentment. In regard to accusations of completely
with Santa Anna, he says that "the actual Govern.
ment sustans no relation whatever with the wretched
projects of the partisans of General Santa Anna y
And further along he says: "There exists in effect
party that does not to labor for General Santa
Anna let us unite, then, to extinguish it, but not
under the boodstained banner of the Constitution Of
1857 let it be under the standard of the Supreme
Government, that will combat whatever faction pre-
sents itself and nvokes principles opposed to the in
dependence and liberty of the Republic" He ther
proceeds to contradict some of the statements mad.
by zamora in regard to the positions and movement,
of the parties mentioned by him.
Ell Progreso states that on the 9Th instant Jos,
Arago, commandant Of the fortress Of Perote arrived
at Vera Cruz in custody having been arrested for en-
terng into negotiations with Echeagaay for the sur
render of the fortress. He was consigned to til,
Castle of San Juan de Ulloa.
