NEW GRANADA-PROGRESS OF THE RE-
VOLUTION.

VOLUTION.
The latest news from New Granada, brought bv
the California steamer, is but confirmation of
that we published nearly month ago, with some
additional facts and rumors.
After the bloody battle of Santa Barbara, of the
18th April last, Gen. Santos Gutierrez was allowed
to JOIN the already much diminished forces of the
Rebel Chief Mosquera, with 1000 men, but the
balance OF GutierrcZ's force was left BY him in Iii
paquira, and promptly captured by the Govern
ment. Some inJudicious movements however
were made afterward bv the Federal Commander
IN Chlef by which Mosquera enabled to take
positions In the best parts of the BogOta plains,
ample in resources, and to escape from complete
defeat and capture, for which be offered, they say
some good opportunities In const uuence of this
suspicious were raised in the Federal army against
Gen. Espins, Commander-in Chief, to the effect
that he was in combination with Aosduera; and
very strong paper on the subj-ct was published,
signed by Dr. Pastor Ospina, a brother to the late
/ PRESIDENT. The result was, according to rumors,
that the imprisonment and trial of Gen. Espiua
was demanded BY the army, and Gen. Henrique
Weir took the chief command. But this is not vet
authenticated.
Mosquera told Gutierrez that he did not intend
TO make any offensive movements in the month of
June, as this month was of i'll omen to bin: but it
seems that Guaerrez made up his mind to dispel
the i'll omen, and he avaied himsgIf of soma ononr
tunises to bring about battle. Partial engage
ments took place the 9th, 18th and 18Th of June
the hrst one OF no material consequences: the
second adverse to Mosguera, who caufcsses 10 the
loss nt % men, aud the third favorable to him, as
his friends claim But now We hear that on the
18th he was attacked again, near Usaquen, twelve
miles from BOgGta, and Compelled to retreat to
Tunja (forty-eight miles back) with great loss
AS Governor Canal was coming that way to rein
force the Government in Bogota, if Gen. Wier has
pursued Mosquera, he might have been taken be-
tween two fires.
The late President, DR.. Ospina, fought bravely
in the battle of St. Barbara, acting aid de-camp
to Gen. Espins, and his name is verv hooorably
mentioned in the official report OF the battle.
Both the Federal and the Rebel army had proved
to be in very decided spirits, and remarkably we'll
drilled, but Mosquera had nothing oppose the
plains the Bogota cavalry and the general feel
ing is that able is put at the head
| of the Government, the forces of M0sauera may
| easily be destroyed.
| From all the other States the news is decidedly
| favorable to the Government. The rich State of
| Antioquia (Which Mosquera wanted to keep neu-
tral in the contest had been freed of every Rebel
in arms. Gen. Santo Domingo Villa, revolution
ist sent from Carthagena, made strong resistance
to Gen. Enao, who had besieged bin; but at last
he had to surrender with all his men after having
eaten, a last resource, their horses and mules.
Only Mr.. Lborio Meija, with eight men, was
able to escape.
Gen Enao then detached force to march on the
State of Bolivar and he proceeded with the rest to
Bogota, trying to reach there in time to have a
sh are in the destruction of Mosquera.
Coonels Arboleda and Cordova were in march
from Pasto to Popayan, capital of Csuca, the State
of which Mosquera is the Governor; and the re
establishment Of Federal rule there could not be
deferred much longer.
After the complete re-estabshment of order in
the State of Santander, by Gov. Canal, he sent a
force to the Msgdalena River under the command
of brother and the city OF Ocana had been occu-
pied by him, and the garrison left by the reoel GOV.
Nieto in Puerto Nacional, on the river, was cap

much alarmed; he left the Notifications he occupied
the river, and was doing his best to oppose the
force coming against him from Anti0quia and San
tander, which he had invaded.
The Rebel State of Magdaena was in defence
less condition, and dscord had sprung up between
their leading rebels and those of Bolivar.
BUENos AYREs-Dates from Buenos Ayres are to

war were making on every side Colonel Saa has

his conduct in San Juan endorsed by the national
government in formal decree signed by the Presi-
dent of the confederation, Derqui, and all the min
listers, thus adding fuel to the fire. This has pro-

and Jujuy-have already ranged themselves on tne IN

GHnltheu CO., advices will most probably bring news
fthe commencement of a conflict, the theatre o
ubicb will be the whole of the immense territory

veteran of the Independence. The defiant attitude
OF Cordova has caused Saa to retire from her from
tier, notwithstanding his threats. President Der
qui had since gone to the CITY of Cordova to settle
matters there if possible but his labor would be ir
vain. Urquzs will be Commander-in- Chief on th'

naturally very much interfered with ana e1ehang
