Having been by accident called upon, we translated and retained a copy of the following letter, which to us is one of those unmistakable signs which denotes superanuation, and as such, submit it to your readers for a careful perusal. DEPARTMENT OF WAR AND NAVY—OFFICE OF OPERATION. Camp on Acaruico, April 20—4 P. M. ‘To THE AMERICAN Cons UL IN Sin—By order of His Excellency an Supreme Highness the Generel President, | have demanded the surrender of the castle of San Diego of Acapulco of those who occupy it, in the space of twelve hours! The revolution being reduced to that fort, and my having at its front five thousand braves, Would make it criminal to resist! Not. cwithstanding, in case this should happen, I communicate to you, that the supreme government being resolved to take that place by all means, His Highness the General | President has ordered me to say to you that you may jmmediately proceed to secure the interests of your citi- tens, as tl e government repeats this day, through me, the declarations Which it has made: of not ‘ackuow tedging any right to claims of any kind in such cases With this motive, I have the honor, Mr. Consul, to oXer you the assurance of my consideration, God anil liberty. Signed, BLANCO, ‘The prowised or threatened attack, and “positive re solve to take the castle by all means,’ was not even at- tempted, other than the engagements as already pub- Mshed, and the firing of a few shell, which either ex- ploded inthe air or fell short of their aim. And the ‘aptain-General, with his 5,000 braves, lay as quiet as lambs on the field of their glory, basking under a tro cal sun, whose heat could not ‘be surpassed when they were, very properly, occasionally aroused to a sense of their shameful inactivity, position and profession, by a thirty-two pound shot f: the well directed battery of the castle, whose report was the funeral knell of many, | beth man and beast. . ‘This, added to the climate, was fast thinning the | ‘rank and file’’ of the brave: nd, it might not be im- proper to here inform the invading force, that during the Whole continued firing from the castle, only four pieces were used, and they 82 pounders. His nness, the President, being driven from one act of desperation to that of another, not anticipating such formidable resistance, after several inetfectual attempts, on the 25th April sent another communication to Gen. Ignacia Comonfort, wherein he made the last abortive | aitempt to bribe that valorous ang uncomprising patriot | with $100,000 in cash, a General's commission, and a free and unconditional pardon to all those persons who | bad taken part in this cruel revolution. What was the reply? ‘‘ Tell the Dictator the wealth of the Indies could not bribe, or have the name of Comonfort stigma- tised with the brand of traitor! Our guns are charged ; our soldiers eager to battle for their homes and liber: ties.’’ Thus frustrated and goaded to maddened des tion, and despondency having seized the soul of the heroic Santa Anna, at not being able to either possess himself of the Castle of San Diego, by purchase or storm, he, with that quiet composure of thought and countenance Which disappointment is wont to assume, concluded on the same night to take his eternal leave o! hia beloved country and most loyal subjects—‘ particu- larly those of the State of Guerero’’—‘ and embark on board the filibustering bark Caroline.’ Alas, deluded man! Alvares cannot permit you to depart, without showing you the prowess of his men of the South. On making known hig plans to Gen. Bianco, a coun- cil of war was immediately held by the fourteen Generals and twenty Colonela, at which it was unani- mously resolved, thet inasmuch as they had escorted their illustrious chieftain from the capital, it devolved upon them to return him to the bosom of his cabinet. Accordingly, on the morning of the 26th April, the braves commenced their retrograde march, which might not have been molested were it not for the committal of one of the most cold blooded murders ever recorded; and in order that the characters of the leaders in this revolu- tion may be the more easily discerned, we will place them ia juxtaposition: — SANTA ANNA. In the battle on the Co- quello road several prison- ers were taken, among whom was Captain Joseph uel Yndart. They were ordered to be closely watch- ed, and on the taking ef the castle to be shot in the pub- lic plaza. Instead of which they were, on the morning of the breaking up of SantaAnna’s encampment, tied to tree in uniform, with muskets in their hands, shot, and left, as were nearly all of bis dead, without burial. On his first day’s march all the houses on the road ‘were burned, the old and in- firm were shot, and the women’s hair cropped. ALVAREZ, Ordered all his prisoners to be set at liberty, with money to defray their ex- penses home. Their property to be re- spected. Gen. Comonfort, | the moment the news | reached him of their cold | blooded acts, sent a com: | wy, and had the bodies brought into the castle, and not only them, but all those of Santa’s Anna’s troops, were buried in a proper and becoming manner, and im mediately sent a courier to Gen.

When the Secretary started, her small cabin was 80 full of fe- males that several of the ngers were compelled to go upon deck. A good deal of excitement was produced among the passengers by the fact of the boat boing. 90 | crowded, and some apprehension was excited by the timo she had gone a sbort distance. Before starting, the yt was heard by one of the witnesses to tell the capt that ‘the d—d old boiler had leaked all the water out, and that he must get some son to pump more in; to which the captain replied t he would do so. Whether this was done or not does not appear, and the fact that the boiler was in # leaking condition seems to have excited some alarm. When abreast Angel Island, it was observed that the Nevada, which had left a quarter of an hour after, was rapidly gaining on the Becretary, and remarks to this effect were made by the passengers. As she approached a good deal of restlesaness was observed on the part of both officers and paeeccenes and in a few minutes more it was observed that the Nevada did not fill up the gap so rapidly. The passengers on board the evi- dently felt that the boats were racing, and some of them who were drinking held up their glasses towards the Nevada, as though they were, in the spirit of the race, drinking to those on board. An increased tremulous. ness in the motion of the boat was also perceptible, indi- cating that there had been an increase of steam. One of the passengers testified that about this time ho heard Capt. Travers, of the Secretary, tell the engineer, through the pipe which led from the pilot-house to the ¢ room, to “let her go.” fhe same witness expressed the belief that from the manner im which the steam sounded, she must have had a large amount of steam on. He went below and asked the engineer what amount there was, to which that | officer made no reply. He saw the engineer turn the cock at the head of the boiler, but nothing but foam | escaped, leaving the impression that there was no water above the cock. Another witness, who was in the en- gine room a short time betore the explosion, and whilst the boats, as the passengers said, were racing, says he saw an oar lashed over the safety valve. Once the on- gineer lifted up the handle of the oar, the blade of which was on the lever of the safety valve. At the same time some one told the firemen to “shove her up; d—n it, shove her up.” Who it was he did not know. He was satisfied there was more steam on than she could carry, | because the safety valve was lifted up every minute or | two by the pressure. The captain, he thought, was ex- | cited by what was going on. Another witness—a passenger | —testified that he heard the captain ask the engineer if he was crowding the boat, to which the engineer replied | that he was not. He also asked if there was plenty of | water in the boiler, to which the engineer answered that there was. Capt Travers gays he went to the engi- neer and told him not to attempt to go any faster—not tocrowd her. ‘Phe engineer said he would not—that the boat was not going any faster than usual. After the | Novata had come “up and was passing her, he says he | win told him not to crowd her, as they could not pass the Nevada, to which the engineer replied—‘Captain, you told me that once before, and I told you I wouldn’t crowd her.’’ The captain says he expected to pass the Nevada in the creek. As tothe oar, he states that the | barkeeper had informed him it was fastened to the safety valve, and he asked the enginecr about it, who told him | that it was not so. The captain then aked him what | he had the oar in the engine room for, and he replied | that it was to pry up the valve when he had nota full | complement of ‘steam. The captain gives it as his opin- ion that there was not a sufficiency of water in the boiler to generate steam—on the contrary, that gas was the only pressure that caused the boiler to explode. In | this opinion he says he is confirmed by the fact that but two or three persons were scalded. The effect of the explosion as described to us by Dr. | James A. Shorbe, who is one of the sufferers, was app ling beyond the power of description. He had been com- pellea to leave the cabin in caine of his inability | te procure a seat.

By means of the boat he climbed up the bow, to which two men besides himself were cling- ing.

Many of them were floating, apparently lifeless, and with ghastly or bleeding countenances, unconsciously supported by the fragments which literally eovered the suiface of the water. Others were struggling desperately to support themselves, whilst others were seen by Dr. Shorbe from the wreck, to sink and rise no more.

They report that they reached an Indian runner from tho head of the valley on the trail of the stolen stock and thieves, to McCloud’s River, a distance of from one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles, where they found the In- dians and attacked them on the opposite side of the river.
