The Negrete Fallure—Case of Colonel Mayer— Unstable Condition of Affairs—Attitade of General Porfirio Diaz—The Vera Cruz Rail- read Movement—British Bondholdere—A Protestant Church—More Kidnapping. Msxico, March 10, 1869, The revolution which broke out at the city of Puebia on the 3d of February last has terminated, at least for the present, owing to the lack of suMcient organization on the part of tho revolutionists and the stratezy employed by the commanders of the government forces, A large namber of the officers of Negrete have been apprehenaed and many were summarily executed. Blood flowed rather too freely and the courts of Puebla, subsequently sus- tained by the President, dried up the sanguinary rivers which at one moment threatened to attain an alarming magnitude. Negrete is beileved to be in the Sierra of Puebla, among his former troops, and, together with the portion of his force not routed, or rather demoralized, at Atexcatl, to be organizing and Preparing another movement. Aureliano Rivera and Abraham Plata are said to be tn full accord with him, and are in the immediate neighborhood of this capital. The government are on the alert and have their secret agents in every direction; wiule the trvops are returning from the campaign against Negrete, and are concentrating at Puebla and this city. ‘The friends of Generals Allatorre and Cuellar instet upon tt that these officers took no delight tn the recent bloodiettiug, and that they interfered with the Executive and otherwise to prevent fur- ther shooting of the officers captured. The friends [8 ee Garcia make the same claims jn his Colonel Mayer, who was to have been shot, lately of the United States Army, has not yet arrived in this city. Although ordered to this city for trial it is supposed that he has been detained in some of the neighboring towns for the present, tn order to avoid any excitement which might-be occasioned among his friends by his arrival. The charges made against him by the colonel who supplanted nim in the com- mand of his regiment, who ts his accuser, are so supremely ridiculous that they reveal the gronsest ignorance of human nature on tlie part of their in- ventor. They are that papers were found in the pockets of Colonel Mayer containing the plan of his intended seduction of his old regiment, the assassi- nation.of its colonel (Caceres), and also of General Arce, the Provisional Governor of Guerrero. The latter charge tas since been so far modified as to substitute a Meutenant of General Arce for the Gene- ral himself, The friends of Colonel Mayer seem de- termined to assist him to a fair trial as far as Iles in their power. The attention of the government will be now directed toward the future of Negrete and the re- volt in Tamaulipas, which last has reached such Proportions that all commerce and agricultural pursuits have beon destroyed in that State. At the same time other revolts must be looked for in any and all directions. News reached the government yesterday that Vargas, Cuesta and others had united their forces to attack Martinez, in Tamaulipas, and the defeat of the latter was feared, aud yet the ability to send more troops to Escobedo is doubted. in Yucatan matters are not satisfactory. it is charged that Colonel Ceballos usurped au- thority there which did not pertain to him, and that his recent executions there were the foalest kind of murders. He defends his course hy declar. ing that he acted in ‘Obedion to the orders of General Mejia, Secretary of War, who empowered him with cred ee facuities. Tae people of Merida are said to be indignant, and through their representa- tives in Congress will make grave charges ee the Secretary of War. ‘The Monitor of the oth (yes- terday) #ays several persons are still secreted near Merida, who dare not surrender themselves, for fear they will be summarily executed without an oppor- tunity for detence, after the manner of the five young nen already executed—citizens, The silence of General Porfirio Diaz during the late rebellion of Puebla is rather significant.

The condition of San Luis Potosi 1s not satisfac- tory. The Legisiature have impeached Governor Bustamente, and a judge of the District Court has c an injunction on the proceedings. ‘rhe gisiature and the Governor are each sustained by a strong party among the prominent people of the State, and a serious conflict is apprehended. A large number of English capitalists and ratiroad men have collected here with the view of arriving at some definite conclusion as tothe hurrying for- ward of the work on the Mexico and Vera Cruz Rail- road. Among them are the two Messrs. Gibbs and Mr. G. B. Crawiey, from lon; Mr. Frazer, engineer, and Mr. Thomas Braniff, from Chile. Messrs. William Barron, John F.

Havana, March 20, 1869. ‘The somewhat monotonous yet exhilarating strains of the “Riego Hymao”’ sound tn my ears as | sit down to write, They precede the march of 800 masters of tne city, who have just returned from keeping watch and ward over poiitical prisoners tn tne cabanas, having been relieved by 800 other mas- ters, Through with the formality of @ dismissal, with smiling, confident air, musket tn hand, they move off to their carts, their waiters’ aprons, 10 the grogshops and coffee houses, where these de- scendants and heirs of the Spanish cobbler and Manchego mule, who in the days of Ferdinand VII., failing other representatives of the Cid, had a right to rule the Indica, gain a precarious livelihood, pending the hour of vengeance. Quiet enough in their labors and not distrustiul, for with every man of their battalion and of every battalion, succeeding until their term of duty comes round again, there is a ferce determination that not one of the hundreds now languishing in the cabanas, only charged with seeking that liberty the Spantard so recently demanded for himself at the point of the sword—and many of them not even that—shail be released without their knowledgo and consent. Say they to the “Superior Political Gover- nor of the ever faithful isle,” “you can imprison; we only can discharge.” Said the second oficer of this colonial government, but recently, to a prostrate, weeping wife and mother, “Thank God when the ship which bears the father of your children away leaves the harbor!” and the woman rose and left with @ new horror. No one better than this officer, and all the political and military household of the Superior Governor, realizes that these prisoners are at the mercy of a bigoted and malignant mob, into whose hands Lersundi placed arms, and that their forbearance is that of the cat certain of its victim, Nor is there any remedy. The regular troops which arrive here are regarded as even more danger- ous than the volunteers, On their arrival the latter immediately mingle among them; and with their discipline already affected by the scenes in which they have taken part in Spain they become the more mutinous and turbulent from their previous submission to restraint. For this reason they are not permitted to remain here tn contact with the volunteers a moment jongee than is necessary, but are hurried off to the field. Duice, with whatever desire to do justice, ls pow- erless, There are those who, tried by that mockery or military commission, have been pronounced guill- lesa, yet they are not released. The voiunteers will not consent, A day or two since the Captain Gen- eral gave authorization to a gentleman to see a pri- soner. Entering his cell he was about to speak, when the sentinel cautioned him not to utter a word. Remonstrating, this master of Havana pointea to the order, “Can you read? To see the prisoner, look at him!” And the gentleman was com- pelled to Nor are these volunteers slow to show their authority elsewhere. It behooves the peaceful citizen to give them the wall if they require it, and to be entirely respectful in Lis manner. A party of them emerged from a drinking place as an Ameri- can was passing. Their appearance or manner caused him to smile. “I expected every moment,” he afterwards said, ‘that they would shoot me;” and it was doubtless owing to the presence of a Spanisn friend that thoy did not. They arrest citi- zens on the own motion, and, taking them to the prison, Charge them with insulting a volunteer—an unfortunate exhibition of infidentia, for only volun- teers cun let them out. They peer and pry into the private social relations of both foreigners and na- tives, are active in finding out who is invited to din- ner, and once their suspicions are excited guilt is presumed. ‘The long delay in the departure of a large number of political prisoners, now set down for to-morrow, has grown out of the spirit mantfested by the volun: teers, and the factis undoubted that many will be sent osteusiply to Fernando Po who would be ua- conditionally released were it not for them. The meting thus existing in Havana is emulated by Ans, goldiery, of whatever name and character, i jighout the island. Detlant of authority, save When exercised im accordanéé with their views, they demand the death of every suspected person, and allow no interference in the carrying out of their wishes. While tn Havana Dulce ts doing ail he can to prevent his name becoming stained with btood, by threats, representations, finesse and intrigue he is endeavoring to get the political prisoners out from the control of the volunteers, who are thursting for their blood. Elsewhere men are beng shot down in cold blood by hundreds. Throughout the rural districts the Guardia Civil, a body com- posed of ignorant and besotted Spaniards, are going about gy and killing without a shadow of authority and in deflance of safe condi over the signature of Dulce himacif. i¢ 1s well to know thot amid thie earnival of lawlessness and biood, everywhere the name “American citizen” arouses suspicion and hate, and many of these are abandon- ing their property, tearing to be shot down like dogs. ‘Such is the situation as affecting peaceful people. The military situation throughout presents a pic- ture of hopeless entanglement. There would seem to be neither unity of purpose nor concert of action among those in command, Itis true that little or nothing is known, save of unimportant encounters between the troops and the insurgents, ludicrously exaggerated by the Spanish press; but if atid all the authorities are doing anything likely to lead to @ successful suppression of this rebellion, they possess a faculty of mystifying both friends and enemies which would put your new President to ut- ter shame. For aught that is known to the contrary, General Valmaseda remains in command of ali the forces in operation, but we as seldom hear his name Mentioned as though he were among the forgotten dead. ‘What of Valmaseda?” is the constant won- derment. At last accounts, more than a month old, he had divided Ins forces, retaining a portion at Bay- amo, sending another to Santiago de Cuba, still an- other to Manzanillo, and placing a small garrison at Jignani, and, in accordance with orders, had sus- pended ali military operations. It is fair to say that one of the city papers recently mentioned the fact that he had sent a column, under Colonel Vargas, to piekond in conjunction with Lopez Oamara against ayari, in the jutmaiotions of Santiago. ‘The reports of the combat in the latcer cage are conflicting. There is reason to believe that concen, with a considerable force, is there. He had been for some time previous in the jarisdiction of Holguin, close at hand. As reported at Charleston and pub- Ished in the HERALD of the 11th, Cisneros had landed there with a few men and a very considerabie quan- tity of arms. In face of the large number of insur- noe which must have been concentrated there the panish report ot Lopez Camara’s victory is ex- tremely improbable; but whether true or not it ts certain that the results are trivial, aa indeed are the results of ily bye nad as given by the Spaniards themselves. e march of Lesca from Guanaja, m which he lost half his force—I have it from good -authority that he entered Principe with but 600 men—has been entirely barren.

Voiunteers are to be sent there. Of the number of the government forces employed a pretty fair estimate can be made. The Diario, in its usual foolsh style of exaggeration, places them at 70,000, which is far above the actual number, When the insurrection broke out, in September last, there were 10,000 troops on the island. There nave arrived since that time 13,000.

The Proposed Soqnestration—Forelgn Pro- perty Holders=Insurgeuts’ Bonds. HAVANA, March 20, 1869, The Diario de la Marina is still harping on its seauestration idea. In its issue of yesterday, after reviewing the law and practices of nations in refer- ence to confiscation, it says:—“If the principles of modern codes are against confiscation, they are by no means opposed to indemnity. All codes justify the latter—all nations applaud it. Of course the im- position of either behooves the civil courts, and therein lies our preference to the principle of indem- nity. Preventive measures, under present circum- stances, ought to be adopted to prevent concealment as well as “distraction” of the property of political delinquents, and such estates ought to serve for the speediest and most complete indemnity for the damayy? they may have caused.’ La Prensa of the 18th says:—“There are already some foreigners among us, new proprietors of the island of Cuba, having in the United States bought property of emigrants who had estates here, It is nothing strange that some sons of Cuba, now absent from their patria, should have sold their estates, wherewith to pay the expenses they make on a foreign soil. If those sales have been made con- formably with law, if no third party is thereby in- jured, and provided the property was free from debt, we believe there can be no opposition thereto. On the other hand, if foreigners acquire such pro- perty with their capital it will be with the desire to see it produce, and therefore it 18 natural that they should aid us in re-establishing peace and give an impulse to'the true prosperity of tuis Antilie, They will naturally desire us to have suficient troops and @ golid government to preserve the island's wealth and agri ah || productiveness.” Weare not aware that any suc! poreignere bayo yee arrived here. Itmay only be a simple surmise of La Prensa, ret it may have close connection with the proposed confiscation, first suggested by that journal, and it may perhaps be as wellthat the so-called delinquent Cubans abroad avail of the hint in time to save their property, without giving any account to La Prensa whether the sale be a bona Jide transaction or not. The same paper states that its persevering editor has seen one of the provisional five dollar bonos or notes issued by the Revolutionary Junta of Villa Clara, “authorized by no one and without any guarantee or signature but that of Sefiops Gutierrez and Garcia, and hence, even were the insurgents victorious, their paper might be deemed more dis- credited than that of the poor Dominicans. The note exhibited to La Prensa purports to be one of the ‘frst series,’ and is dated the 1st instant.” Acommittee has arrived here from Santiago de Cuba, and another from Trinidad, to ask General Dulce to send reinforcements there.
