from New-Orleans papers containing
news from Galvestown, the place of rem

his followers landed without opposition
at Sotola Marina, in the province of
New ST. Ander, about hundred mil
north of Tampico, and about 500 miles
westerly from New-Orleans, on the 22d
of April.
1t was reported that the RoyaIist Ge-
neral in that quarter, with 1850 men, con
sisting Of defa hments which he had as
sembled was marching TO meet Nina
whom he supposed to be at the head Of
a thousand men but that the latter not
being in condition to give battle,
would leave behind his heavy artillery,
plunge into the interior, and there com
mence partizan warfare, joining him
self with the first body of patriots he
might meet. A later report says that
Nina was cordially received at Sotola
Marina, which is a small town DISCO in
habtants. From there he marched i'm
Elediately to ST. Ander, the capital of the
province, where or 500 militia joined his
standard.
