Private letters and verbal reports Of pas-
sonsers by the Camanche, at New Orleans
from Matamoras announce that the army
at Matnmoras was in the most dcplorable
condition, without provisions aud clothing
and in the most complete destitution. Gem
eral Bravo, fntigued by the eternal com
plants and murmurs of the soldicry, has
been obliged to resign and abandon the ar
my.
A few days previous to the departure OF
the Camanche from Mntnmoras, nbout $50
900 had been received for paying the troops
bat the officers had kept nearly the
whole of it for themselves. General Bravo
had resigned the command of the army,
portion of it had already left for the city OF
Mexico, the expedition against Texas hay
ing been given up.
Six Mexican vessels of war had been of
Matamores, and five had again sailed for
Tampico, leaving only one schooner for
the protection of their commerce.
