ruEn yIrH rHE RIO GRAsDE-General Patterson
has Issued an order that no steamboat, not ~ inc
employ Of the government shall lake on boaid any
American or Mexican citizen, as passenger, .wi,h-
out written permission from the commanding ON,
Ger Of one of the military posts, or eofnmissi ioned
officer OF the quariermaster's department"
2. That "no goods Of any description will be al
lowed to be transported on such boats which are not
consigned TO the quaTtermasters, or subsistence de-
parmenls TO an officer Of The line Of the army, or 70
the regularly appointed suffers Of the army"
3. That "no freight Of any description viii be
allow cd TO be landed al any point on tho nyer moi
occupied by the troops Of the United States above
Matamoros, unless 80 ordered by commissioned
officer Of the quartermaster's department"
This order" says the Flag, "strkes blow to
our merchants, and we hope to hear them speak
their disapprobalion. Our columns are open u
them. The army suffers are at the bottom Of the
whole OF it. Not content with the immense prohts
they receive from having the entire trade OF the army
they design to have the Mexican trade thrown into
their hands, and all others excluded from paruciPat
ing in il. Our Secretary Of State threw open to
the troops Of the Uniled States might occupy, and
many have come here under his invitation" s
General Patterson is acting under the orders o
General Taylor and should not be held accounta
bic for tho oppressive acts which appear to emhnate
from him" IL is stated that merchants are forbid
to take goods to Csmargo, but must eonsign them tc
suffers, who will sell them for ~ per cent commits

CoScnArRG THE EsEar.-The Flag Of the 10Th
contains sensible article IN regard TO the eoneilia
ling policy of the United States government. Tins
policy the editor says, but To make the Mex
cans moro insoleni, and offers them stronger in
ducemenIs to eontinue the war, for is enrichine
them at the expense Of our own citizens. The enc
my are enjoying privileges denied to our own peo-
pie d They accept our fayors, laugh at our stupid
policy, and assassinate US at the FIRST opportunity
But, make them suffer the sri instead Of the bless
ings of war, by making them supper. our army, IN
stead ofsupporting heirs, and then they will prob
ably soon sue for peace. IL ridicules The "hbera
policy" as il is called, towards the enemy, Durlns
the suspension of hostilities they have first rat'
opportunity to prepare for another brush. . Ihe
officers arc allowed the freedom Of our camps, They
can come to any of cur posts, examine ou'
strength and means of defence, lay plans for tbeI
capture and incite their oountrymen to resistance"
DuELs-We are sorry to 6nd that some diffsul
ties have broken out amongst few OF the oftoer
| connected with the armyat Camargo. II Is Pity
that any American blood should be spilled by Amer
lean hands, in enemy's country, and after event
so glorious to our arms The Galveston News o
the 18th contains the following: .
AFFAIRS OF HONOR We learn that General A
8 Johnson and others would have come by th'
Galveston, hut we're detained in Camargo by an
fortunate occurrence. asA A misunderstanding h.
arisen between Col. Marshall, Of Kentucky, al,

duel was to be fought between Capt. Shlv"rs wh'

| PkosrEGTs OF TRADE.--It is expected that tn
| trade Of Matamoros will assume great importance
| from the result of affairs at Monterey. Oar rner
chants are already advancing the price of thei
goods in anticipation Of brisk business. The Mex
lean merchants likewise taking advantage Of tn
times, and supplying themselves with an abundar
stock The area Of trade has been enlarged, and tn
whole country between Maiamoros and Montere
will be supplied with goods from the former place
There will be some handsome fortunes made. Da9
