An offt- cer, formerly in the Mexican service, was seized, and on his person was found a List of all the disbanded Mexican soldiers in the vieinity of Santa Fe. Many other per- sons, supposed to be iinplicated, were arrented, and a fall investigation proved that many of the most influential persons in the northern part of this territory were en- gaged in the rebellion. All attempts to arrest Ortin and Archuleta proved unsuccessful, and there rebels have, without doubt, se in the direction of Chihuahua.
