Monterey to the 9th inst.
The Guadaajara correspondent OF the Rdnchey0
Mexican News Association furnishes US with news
to the 10th inst, and although that city and
the State Of which it is the capital are re-
nowned for its deeds Of blood and every crime
known in the criminal lists we have never until at
present seen such deeds Of incarDaie iends placed
record. They perpetrate acts OF barbaTty there
which could alone be devised by the progeny OF q
revolutionary, balbarous people. The crimes Of
Clemente Ruiz the Jallsco fend, who has but
recently been executed for violating the three
young girls Of San Pedro dc Pedro Gordo, muir

bodies into q WE'LL and the violation and devilish
murder OF the two young ladies' OF Paszcuaro have
BEEN were 1t possible, outdone by the brigand leader
Leon Chavez, who lately started cut on new crusade
which was inaugura,cd In the following manner:-
Tepatitlan place OF 1000 Inhabitants, on the
tional highway between Guanaiu0to and Gundala-
jara and twenty leagues southeast Of the latter
city, was assaulted on the nth inst. by $50 Of Leon
Chavez's men and taken. Several thousand dollars
ing to the general government and taken with them.
They obtained nearly $50 coo from all the merchants
and left, carrying OF AL the horses and several mer
chants and wealthy people prisoners.
An attack was made by the same party on the town
OF Zapotlanejo; but being firmly resisted the bandits
left for the mountains lrop whence they turn up again

Of the houses he robbed al the people and Killed
they proceeded to Matatan. and although he had had
about three hundred OF his men with him he was
Obliged TO give up the attempt for the armed people
OF the place outnumbered his body OF bandits. The
