From the accounts which have reached Vera Cruz,
appears that the battle decisive Of the fate OF Guada
laiIa took place actually about two leagues from tina
div There the relieving army, under Gen. Marquez
ard detachment under Gen. Castillo numbering IN
all sore 1900 men, were met attacked and utterly
routed by the Liberals under Gen Iorhgoza, 10 thaI
very few ever found their way back again 10 the city
Tie generals only escaped with their lives, leaving
ffty Iieces Of artillery all their s1res and ammunition
and 900 prisoners in the hands Of the enemy. The

consequence of the battle.

rejoicing throughout tie country, and the ardent

their faces once more to the capital.
private letter OF the highest authority al Vera
Cruz, says:
"Tbe news from the interior il 80 important and 80
decisive NJ to the triumph of the Consttu0nafsts,
thai exIec, to return in few days to the City OF
Mexico"
Another letter, of equal authority, says:
"1be occupation Of Guadalaara by the Liberals and
the complete rout of Gen. Marquee, considered here
o. the beginning of the end of the civil war. The Con
sttationa army will march at once on the capital,
where, M you Will see hlramon, m me despair Is
resorting to every expedient to maintain himself"
In reference To the sOcaed sacking Of the British
Legation, letter from the capital says:
"hiiramon har broken tie seals of the British Lega-
ton and taken thereiron the English funds, amounting
in all TO 1900 900. The Spanish ambassador bias pro-
tested in the Of the diplomatic CORDS against this
act Of violence in threatening tone. The native
Msx, an and foreign population Of the city have alike
expressed their profound Indignation at the act"
From ilis it would appear that this net of violence
wa not committed by tie pOpnace, or by the " rob
bers" but by the President himself, or At least by his
authority or appreciation.
The money stolen belonged to the British bond.
holders and was to have been forwarded 20 England
by the lsst steamer, but Mr.. Mathews, the acting
Charge was unwilling to accede TO the orerous ex-
actions for the protection Of the condueta down to
Vera Cruz. The money was, therefore, retained

mean time, some five millions of other specie, belong

Vera Cruz, ard before recorded, has already ar
rived in London.
On its arrival the British bondholders expressed
much dissatisfaction that their money had not been for
waried also whatever might have been the cost. And
this dis abstraction will in degree be diminished by
the news, which now reaches us, that all has been
lost
AZ to the responsibility of the affair it of course lies
with The Government of Mexico If any such thing can
be found The departure of the British Legation how
ever for Jaapa leaving such great interests unpro-
tected behind, can scarcely be excused
THE COMING EVENTS.
In consequence of the capture of Guadalalara " the
second city OF the Republic and the advance OF the
Constitutional army upon Mexico, q the first the
acting President, MiramOn, had issued proclamation
declaring d forced loan of 100000. The procls-
nation says:
/" Numerous forces are about TO make their appear
before the walls Of Mexico, to besiege IL; but
within they will find army, which in defense of its
principles and convictions, has already made sacrifices
and sui nitted to suffering with fortitude that enables
it to ell stand ready shed all Its blood before it will
submit TO dhOnOr. Great events are therefore about
10 take psCe in the Valley of Mexico the people of
this beautiful city to witness many grand,
bloody spectacle. They will s0On ret with their
EYES ast and decisive encounter between the national
army and the forces of the Democracy. Who will
have the honor Of being crowned with the hurels of
victory That alone hes with the omniscience Of
God.
Fellow citizens, spirit ,consancy, few more suffer
ngs one more sacrifice for the affairs of country,
and We will hope in faith for the future happiness Of
Mexico"
Elsewhere the proclamation speaks Of the war r.
war in defense # religion, war in the name Of the
army, "A war in the name of society" but from the
cool manner in which the coming combat IL spoken of
as theatrical spectacle, We very much in doubt
whether it BE- not looked upon by these military leaders
such in reality. Their profession IL war, and the
bioOdler the spectacle they present to the peo
! lie, the greater will be the Triumph"
On the other hand the ConsituiOnalists are equally
eager for the fight. In his address TO the army after
the capture Of Guadalaara, Gen. Zaragoza SAYS:
" Soldiers, you have now the way clear to the capt.
tai Of the Republic. Its gates are open to you, and If
your enemies baye made any preparation for resistance
have confidence III you that you ready for last
combat in which you will forever break the chains
there forged for the oppression Of the Mexican people,
The next news from this distracted Republic, there
fore, will 10 all probability, bring something dec
rive to the fate of the capital at last. The ultimate
fate Of the Republic rests upon other and higher
sderatiOns
