MIRAMON'S DEFEAT IN MEyIco.

The news of Gen. MiramOn's recent defeat in the
interior of Mexico, of which we had telegraphic
report, was brought to New Orleans on the I'd inst
in Tampico journals of the 10th ultimo.
Gen. Miramon was at the head of about two
thousand men, the remnant of his late army, and
was endeavoring to make his way out of the Lagos
marshes, where the Liberals had kept him so long
confined. On the 10th ultimo he made last des-
perate effort to escape, when he surrounded by
Gen. Doblado at the head of some ten thousand
men, with reinforcements to the number of eight
thousand in the vicinity, who afterwards came up
to his assistance. The fighting is said to have
lasted five days-Miramon holding his own all this
time in very advantageous position, when he was
fortunate enough to make his escape, with a por-
tion of his cavalry. The rest of his troops are
said to have fallen into the hands of D0bladO with
all his artillery, stores and provisions. 1t is said
that both Gen. Miramon and Gen. Meta, his sec
ond in command, were wounded, and that Gen.
Pacheco, of the Liberal army, was killed. The
latest accounts represented Miramon as being in
flight towards the city of Mexico.
The Liberals in Northern Mexico were rejoicing
over this victory. No official report, however,
had then been received. Gen. Dobado, in writing
Liberal forces, briefly says "GOd has given us a
complete victory. Gen. OrLego will send you the
official report. The whole State OF Guiana juato is
under your orders" The official reports from both

rect idea of the extent of the disasters suffered by
either army from this encounter, and its probable
effect the antagonist parties who have been so
long contending for supremacy in the government
of the Republic.
The Picoyane of the 9th has the following in de
tail in reference to the pronunciamento reported by
telegraph, in favor of the election to the Presden
cy of COmOnfort:
Intelligence of the highest authority and brou Oh
by the last steamer from the Rio Grande, has beer
placed in our hand, to the effect that general pro
nunciamento in favor of the election of exPresiden
Comonfort to authority in Mexico has been planned
and is on the of being proclaimed
This new movement as we are assured, is no
confined to the northern States of the Republic
where, however, it was first inaugurated, but is
cO-eXtensive with the Republic. The Governor an(
highest officials of each and every one of the States
adhering to the Constitutional cause are in the Sc
cret, and when the signal is given will all pronounce
simultaneously
/ As said before, Gen. DOblado, who has recently
! won the great victory over Miramon at Lagos, is
! of the most trusted leaders of the movement
and now that the ex-President's friends are more
than masters of the field, it is expected that
! the pronunciamento will be made at once.
The next arrivals from Mexico, then, may bring
us news of another and decided overturn in that
distracted country; and should it result in the re
turn of ex-President ComOnfort, we are sure every
! Mexican who has an interest in the country, will
( have reason to rejoice The ex-President is known
for the moderation of his opinions and has been
4 tried and found true to them; while, at the same
time, this new movement is openly declared to b.
one of Cancellation, in which the moderate of al
parties could join. Anything, however, would b
better than the present state of civil war, blood
shed and social anarchy.
