REUBEN FLACK.


Yesterday. by the arrival of the schr.
Lodi, from Matamoras, we learn that there
are yearly 5000 troops assembled there,
under Gen. FiloSola, represented as being in
a most wrstched condition, entirely unpro-
vided with rations, clothing, 8xc.; many of
them nearly in a state Of nudity. There
were numerous desertions daily. The in
tended object of this force is not known, it
being kept in the greatest secrecy; but they
are said to have a most decided aversion to
being led against Texas. Some of then go
SO far as to openly avow that they could not
be prevailed upon to march against her at
any price.
The schr. Bonita had arrived at the bar
of MetamoIas, from this port, previous to
the sailing of the Lodi, but could not get
over, there not being a sufficient depth of
water. The B. was reported to be the only
vessel lying at Matamoras.
The government had ordered 1000
troops to be assembled at place called Po-
rota, about q leagues from Vera Cruz; for
the purpose, it WAS said, of attacking Gen.
Santa Anna at his palace. which is situated
between Perota and Vera Cruz; and strong
fortified by him, he having force of 600
men under his immediate command.
The cause of sending these troops against
Santa Anna is said to be his having ordered
or participated in the robbery Of a con,
Quota, and committed other acts equally
unlicensed.
