This arriva! brings late and accurate
accounts from the Mexican frontier. The
Mexican troops number and are situated
as follows: At Matanoros 400, Comargo
60, Mier 60, Guerrero 200, Laredo so or
60, MonIery 1000. This is no augmen,a-
tion of the usual number, nor is there any
appearance Of a reinforcement of regulars
being added. The defence of the frontier
has been. however, materially strength
ened, is another respect. The whole body
Of the male inhabitants capable of hearing
arms, have been armed aud oificered, and
are subjected to regular military drill,
being stricl y reviewed every eight days,
and held in readiness for active service a.
the shortest notice. They are styled De-
tfRfs12Ess "a ana d. are sad se Be equally
ny of these men, 80 strong, under com.
mand Of Manuel LelIai. Mexican. for.
merty Of Bexar, recently attacked snd
defeated a body Of l20 Indians, at Los
Alnos, l9 miles from Corpus Christi,
killing 40Indians uponthe spot and pulling
The remainder TO flight. The Indians had
been to the neighborhood of MaIamo.os,
aud driven of large number of horses.
They were pursued by LillaI and bis men,
who found them asleep, secured .aH'fhe
horses they had in possession and large
quantity Of tbeir.ar;irs, and then fell upon
Them sword 10 hand killing 20 atthe frs,
onset. The Indians, completely sniptised,
raised a white flag, and called a parley.
The Mexicans Heard heir story. and not
teing satisfied with il went to work again
killing twenty mure, and scattering the
remainder The people ofCorpus Chris
ii, hearing of the approach Of The Mexi-
cans. and not Of Indians, went out TO give
the former battle. or discover their designs.
They met had a conference. and -separa-
ted without battle. The Indians had
told the Mexcans that, when attacked,
they were OH their way to Corpus Christi,
in search Of more plunder; and although
our citizens and soldiers iu that vicinity are
ever ready to fight their own battles and
ask Only a fair field and no interference,
they did no, think si,'proper 10 quarrel with
their Mexican neishbors for what they had
DONE.
We understand that The Mexican SET
tiers on this side of the Rio Grande are
not disposed 10 be annexed TO the United
States, though we doubt whe,her any ,por-
tion Of Texas would be more benefited
By The change than they. In a,commer-
cial point Of view, they would appear to
be great gamers, while in security and
protection they would at least have but
little 10 lose.
Gen. Aris1a is said to be deeply afflicted
with The troubles and confusion in Mexico,
and, it is reported, endeavored a short
time sincoio destroy bis. life by posion.
