DEAR BENEFIT
BY the arrival Of the schooner Cs-aanche, from
Matamoras, whence she sailed on the "a inst. we
learn that the "rexian squadron" are now "show-
ing of" off the mouth ofthe Rio Bravo. The sole
object of this barbecue squadron, it is now ascer-
tanned, was to scare the Mexicans into acquies-
cence with the demand of the British government
through Mr.. Packenham, that the "Mexicans must
either conquer Texas or acknowledge its indepen-
dence." On the 10Th ut General Arsto, with all his
disposable force, crossed the Rio Grande, and took
mp his line of march for Guerrero, where the pro-
risionai govern ment ofthe Federalists at pre-
sent established. 800 men in charge of Ampuda,
were left to garrison Matamoras; but the appearance
of the Texian pirates off the bar, frightened him so
much out OF his proprety, that expresses were i'm
medately sent off for Arista to come to the rescue.
Their united forces, the I'd inst. were daring the
Texans to come within shot of terra irma, at the
Brazos de Santiago.
Bilious fever is very prevalent in Matamoras at
present. and already the sick list of Arista is swell
ling to an extent that threatensto cripple his opera
lions against the Federalists.

similar to the British riotaCt with whicthey hope
to preserve the peace through the whole country

About the middle oflast month the Mexican Con-
gress voted splendid sword TO General Valencia,

gratitude is ssThe Mexican National Congress to the
valor and loyalty of General Valencia" All the
subordinate officers and soldiers were also voted
suitable mementos, such medals, drks, sashes,
