A Lively Town to Live In. An Amoricnn sojourning at Ma/.atlan, ! "Western Moxico, gives the. following graphic account of tlio gentle manners of the j uiui^uiujus tU Lllill UilVUlC|llilKy 10- I cality : In my last letter (<? 3-011 1 stated that our i city \v;ts declared in a state of siege, though tho enemy or opposition party was u long way oft". Thing* rotnained in that condition until about eight days ago (2!)th ult., when I was informed privately, at about ! S o'clock in tho evening, that the enemy, I or ' Liberal'' party, had arrived within j about two leagues of the town, and intended to attack the barracks and the quarters of the Governor tlu?t night. And as thevo would probably be a sack or wholesale robbery at tho time, I gave my friend ..li t . 1 > 1 iui my muss vaiuaoic watciics and jewelry t i t:\ke care of, Ms home not being so liable to attack as my. own. T fastened my doors and wont to bed as usual, hoping it might be a false report. But I awoke aibout l:J o'clock, and in a few minutes after a booming of cannon nnd rattling of Mnall anus commenced. I was not long in bed, you may be sure. .M v arms, which arc always in readiness, were placed so that I eonld lire through tlie door, if the enemy attempted to break in ; i . i...: -ii.i i ium |jiiiumg mi ine oust customer watches uiul $ ")(.) iu..silver money in my curpet bag, and eighteen gold doubloons iu my pocket. 1 prepared for a run out of my back door and owr to the top of my neighbor'a kitchen. Thus ready for fighting and running, I remained for more than two hours listening to the terrific roar and rattle of these midnight guns. During the. uightsomcof the robbers went by yelling like devils,and L heard'others breaking in the doors of stores in Maiir-atroct; but 1 knew nothing certain until morning, when a countryman told me that as soon ns the attack was made by tho Liberals on the barracks, the criminals, seventy in number, in tho calaboose, were released by a party outside; and being joiued by other villains from oitr population,.commenced breaking open and robbing the stores on Main-street.

Only one man and one woman among the robbers were killed, and some doz.on or morcwonnded. Of the storekeepers, who were unprepared for the sudden attack,.some were killed. Among the other criminals who escaped was the rascal who tried to murder ?nc about a yeai r?go; he had been .sentenced to ten years nt hard labor. Tho Liberals failed to take tlie barracks, and retreated to their camp' before daybreak,without losing a man. In the barracks one was killed .and <nm* u.*?nii?#ln?l _ ?r? ? enough iimvg of caunon and musketry to have produced one hundred killed aud five huiulrcd wounded. The stores that we're rohbed nil belonged to foreigners?French, Spaniards, (Jermans and Italians. . There arc no American stores here except the drug store, ftt which the robbers gave a few blows, but soon loft for more attmetiv? plunder. As tuc JiiDcralx are only waiting for a reinfurccnicnt from Sonora l<> rnakc an attack on a largo scale, the foreign merchants and storukeopcra havo closed tlveir places and liavo "been i'K toving their goods to tlieir rcMpoctlve cor ulatcs for protection. Every night they mount guard over their goods, armed to the teeth. The French are the most numerous, and havo mounted two or threo small cannon on (he parapet of their Consul's house. The English ('opsUrsent word to me, the day aft^r the night, that T could send my things to his house, if I wished. My carpet nag, with enatdnipiH VrafohfcS and silver money, I deposited in his safe, and sent my tools, ma terials, Ao., to Heaven \s dnij; store, over which a few Americans have hoisted tho American flag. Tho valuables [ gavo my friend before the fight arc now with him safely aboard a German vessel, anchored two miles from tho town. My vhop is of course closed, like all the rest, and our town look* like a city infested with the plague. For eight days, these khWs have hecn this way, and in the moan time all kinds of rumors are current.
