All the items of information which I can pick up, worthy of note, are rathor old, and may perhaps haye reached the Hmnazp by other channels.

In cage you have not received full accounts of it already, I will give you a brief description of its origin and Progress. It appears that in the latter end of April, when the time arrived at which all the authorities of this State required to swear to the new constitution, some curates or priests who resided in the vicinity of Chilapa, and who exercise a great iniluence over a large number of Indian villages tm that vicinity Pefaged to take the oath, and in consequence were arrested and removed to were co fined in ng here some little ume, and find ing everything quiet, the Colonel, wich his troops, returne t to Chilapa, aud on entering the town Was mot by some two thousand Indians under the command of Juan Anto- nio, who had come to carry into exeevtion their threats, Ab engagement wok place at once between ihe ladians nnd the troops under Col. Navarro; the former, however, baving such @ majority over the regular troops, aud being ‘all well armed, soon put anend w the combat, having killed ail the ofticers, and one bundered and thirty of the two hundred regular troops, They then secared and put te death the Presect of the district, and several other au- thorities who bad taken part in se ‘off their priests. Gen. Alvarez on receiving news of the state of adairs, marched at once with a few mop, increasing their number as be went along, to the scone of the disaster. He is in Tixtla, at the head of «large number of men, the villages in the neighborhood having voluntarily oontribut ed largely to bia force, Juan Antenio, with bis Indiaua, ia in possession of Chilapa still, hut must shoruy surrender to Alvarez.
