article upon the subject in the National Register Of the 10Th:
CoRrus CHRsTI-The trade of Corpus Christi has been
remarkably brisk within the last four five weeks and
the town is rapidly improving Several large parties Of
traders from the Rio Grande have visited the place, and they
expressed great confidence that the difficulties between the
countries would be adjusted They report that large
bodies Of Mexican troops have recently arrived in the provinces
Of the mountains from the interior but they did not state
that large body these forces had crossed the Rio Gande
We inclined to believe that the forces east Of the
ans have been oveated by the spies Of Capt Hays We do
not believe that the whole number of troops at all the positions
Of the Sierra Mae exceeds three thousand The whole
number Of troops in Matamoas is estimated at only three
four hundred -Tekgraph
