Particulars of the Capture of Oak
New YORK, Nov. 26.-A Herald city of
Mexico correspondent gives an account of
the capture of Oaxaea by the Liberals un-
der Gen. Diaz. The garrison of the city
consisted of 1000 men, who bravely defend
ed it against three times their number. An
attempt to reinforce the garrison was made
by 600 Belgians and 400 native troops, but
Diaz intercepted the relief party and cap
tured it. A second force, from Tehuacan,
met a like fate about the 25th inst. In the
mean time some 800 Austrians from Te-
haunapic forced their way through Diaz's
lines into the city, and thus reinforced, the
garrison keptup the fight for several weeks
repelling nearly every day. Diaz fought
his. way through the city and obtained pos.
session of the'Plaza, but for some days was
unable to make any effective attack on the
forts of st. Domingo and FL Cartin until
the 3lst ult., when he forced the enemy to
Surrender. The number of prisoners is
between 1000 and 5000, and the convention is
signed on the part of the Imperialists,
among Others; by Baron Enrigungeho and
Count Albert De Kermen, ,.ll Il ii rlr
A large supply of military stores, arms,
ammunition, and several batteries Of artil-
lery were among the prizes captured. Tne
Anstrians'fougft well, but finally surrend-
cred to superior numbers. rr,l TyO
This victory insures the peace of the
whole country South of Puebal, and gives,
the Liberals large, well organized and adj
mirably equipped force with which to oper-
ate in this valley and upon the Vera Cruz
line. 1t also places Puebla in danger, and
unless the French prove themselves to be
more active than formerly, the communities
tipn with the coast will be cut off and can
be re-establish9d only at great cost of
life.
