But few hours since positive intelligence
arrived here Of the storming Of Guadalajara,
by the dlyialon Of the Constitutional army, I'M
der the intrepid Gen. Don jose Lopez Uraga.
The city Of 0uadalaIara was garrisoned by
very respectable force of French and Mexican
traitors, and was attacked by the Liberal army,
under the orders OF Gen. Uraga and Gen.
BereoEabel, and after tsnAcious and bloody
battle the town was obliged 10 surrender, leav-
Ing in our possession "a cannon and more than
700 prisoners, and an immense amount Of war
materials.

Gonzales Ortegs and Miguel Negrete have
united q considerable force, say $4,000 men.

had given permission TO the rebels to transport
cotton, in any quantities, through his territory,

when they were short Of funds, II was seized
and sold, and payment to the rebels refused.
Cortinas, Governor Of Tamaulipas received
an invitation from VidAurri, requesting him u
second his movement. This Invitation wal
answered In the most indignant style, and Cor

against him with splendid force OF resolutt
men, resolved, all Of them, 10 die rather thar
