following article upon the subject in the National Re-

CoRrus CHRrsrr.-The trade OF Corpus Christi has
been remarkably brisk within the last four five weeks
and the town is now rapidly improving Several large
parties of traders from the Rio Grande have visited the
place and they expressed great confidence that the diff
icutes between the two countries would soon be ad
used They report that large bodies of Mexican troops
have recently arrived in the provinces east of the
ains from the interiors but they did not state that any
large body of these forces had crossed the Rio Grande
We Inclined to believe that the forces of the
mountains have been overrated by the spies of Captain
| Hays. We do not believe that the whole number o
troops at all the positions east of the Sierra Mare
ceeds three thousand The whole number of troops in
Matamoras is estimated at only three four hundred.
