FURTHER FROM MEXICO
From the Ne,o Orleans PicGyine.l
In the Progress, of Nov. 1lth we find a long ac
count Of an engagement between a body ol forces
under Gen. La Lave, at Tengonapam, and body ola
Echeagarays 5 troops, who endeavoilhE ~
effect an advance towards Vera Cruz, by way oi
San Salvador. The column of ConstitutionalIsl
forces, under COmandante Camache, who had bceh
posted to meet them, very rapidly defeated tneni'
killing and woundng several, who were abandoheu.
They rctreated to position about quarter "l al
league off, and there opened fire Of artillery on
the Constitutionast forces, but without any e1ec'.
They soon stayed this, and then endeavored to pen
citrate by way of Calyario, but coming out near
that point about p. NJ, they found that 1t had
already been occupied by Camache, who at once
charged upon them, and after close and desperate
encounter of half an hour, again beat them pach'
with some killed and wounded; portion o! them
were also abandoned. They then retrcated 10
Tengonapam which Camache had abandoned after
the previous engagement, for stragetic reasons.
La I4avc the same night despatched force to take
possession of hill to the right of that point, with
instructions to commence fire on them, as soon as
day should break. This was done, and the
Zuoaguistas thinking themselves lanked, com
menced hurried retreat, leaving behind them
portion of their recently killed beeves, and the,
body of a man whom they had inveigled near by,
cries Of 'Libertad' and then assassinated horribly
mutilating him with edged weapons and with hre-t
arms This, however, was the only life lost on the
part of the Constitutionaists They were com,
manded, it seems, by EcheagaIay and Negrete.-t
The former returned to La Hoya, Negrete towards
Jalapa.

The spacious floating dock constructed lately at
New Orleans had safely arrived at Havana on the
20th, in tow of the Spanish steamers Mexico and
Pelayo, having been six days on the passage.
The Cuban Progress (such is her name) will ar
rest great deal Of floating capital in the harbOr
formerly diverted to the United States, but being
the only one of her kind at Havana, it is inferred
that her tariff of prices will render her ways other
than ways ofpleasantness to those who have to pay
for them.
