and orders from his own Government.
Al about the same time as the Dragons, three
comrancs of Mexican traders arrived at Gen. Tay-
lor : camp with a goodly number oil reports but
upon which little reliance could be placed One OF
these reports was that regiment OF Mexican troops
about 700 strong. left Tampico six weeks previous
for Matamoras but their numbers had been reduced
10 300 by sickness and dcserton on the march, IN
duced by the want of food and water. AT almost
every military post in the North Eastern part OF
Mexico deseriions Were extremely frequent
Arista had been seriously i'll at Metamoros, but
had so far recovered az TO resume the duties OF hls
command Gen. Paroles reported to be still at
Monterey but with less than 800 troops who were
continually deserving. The reader must receive
these reports strictly reports Mexican news, re-

certain.
