The whole interior is now in blaze, and the exulting
shouts Of the edeasts be heard resoundng
the walls OF every city garrsoned by troops
IS only month ago they beaten, routed, dis
persed, and, as we were informed by Miramons des
patches entirely aunhilated But thirty days have been
sufficient 10 roaninate them and hear OF SEQ
men here 600 there, and 900 in another place.
The first Signs of returning life manifested in the
despatch OF divisions from Moreaone to operate
against GusJaara and the other against Guanajusto and
tbe towns in the Baho The Bahio division has already
taken Lagos Leon Guanajuato and several other smaller
places in that direction Gen. L,eoga, commander at
Guanajuato, barely got of with his boots, leaving
all of his men, munitions, &c. prize for his enemy
We hear that come 1000 to 1000 men are threatening
San Luis Potos The government has claimed to have
gained most complete victory over the federasts,
San Luis but Notwithstanding the completeness of this
victory the of San Luis has just up this
city for the benefit of his health and Miramon's
brother, who was lately defeated at the head Of
great force in the interior entered city yesterday with
force Of ninety three OF whom forty Ulcers.

the palace, but has failed in contemplated movement.
The Santsnstas have also been at work But yesterday

the impending danger.
The strength Of the parties may be described thus
The ceptrass have the army and church The army
joys by lis support Of the cenrasts the right OF
exemption from trial by the law of the country
before civil judges The church also IS its fuuo and
moreover has direct interest in checking gro Of
liberal ideas in the country Tue church is rch and

asts therefore the church and army for the tine
bosom friends Tue strength of the fedora s assists in
the popular dislike for the fos OF the church and army
disgust for the OF the former, and the
ranny the latter and in the general desire Mexico
q free and enlightened nation.
The federaists although having nine teuths OF the pco
pie with them, unable 70 put down the power Of the
chusch and army, for Of disciplined warfare they

popular will for although defeating it in battle, it rises
