LATER FROM MEXICO.-The steam
schooner Augusta, at New Orleans, left Mita-
noras on the l2th instant. a letter from q
gentleman ot that place gives the following
information respecting the march of Mexican
troops towards the frontier,
MArANoRAs. Aug. 10, 1915.
With regard to the movement of the troops
here, we know positively that all the points
along the line OF the river will soon be cover
ed-Arista has about 5000 mon General Pa
redes is ccning to Monterey with about four
or five thousand; General Gaona is coming
also with 1000, and General Bustamen,e goes
TO New Mexico. Thus far, however, not
withstonling these preparations, believe that
hosuhties are not 80 imminent as might at
FIRST b. thought. There is no General in chief
appointed yet-no contracts Tor the necessary
supplies oil a campaign, or a serious mcursion
into Texas.
SOME pcr,cns. generally well informed,
think that the Government needs money great
~ and Is disposed tn hold out the prospect of
a war, IN order ogct the loan approved. The
nope that Foreign intervention will soon put
an end To the difficulties between the two
countries seems tn b. at the bottom of the
ideas of this government, which on the other
hand, IT we may credit letters recently rcceiv-
Ell from the capital. appears to BE- threatened
with u new revolution.
The New Orleans Picayune, after mention
ing the march OF the three divisions of the
Mexican army, noted above, says
These three bodies compose the army Of
10000 men, we presume, Ut whose advance
upon Gen. Taylor 80 many idle rumors have
been circulated. That they are not as vet
quite prepared to measure arms with the Uni.
ted States troops, and do not intend at present
crossing the Rio Grande, we think NAV be in
ierred from the facts, that mo- general. in-chief
has yetdeen named for the conduct of a cam
paiSn, nor have any contracts yet been enter
ed into for provisions and other necessary sup
plies for so large u force.
