MOVEMENTS OF THE ENEMY.-A
traveller from Tampico met Government carrier
between that place and Victoria, about zen days
ago. hunting for the Mexican army, for whom ne
here orders. he said, 10 retreat upon Tampico.-
This would seem 10 indicate that the Govern
ment consider the day as defDively lost in This
ouarter. or were unable 10 reinforce their army
sufficiently to enable il to stand another battle,
and were collecting lis fragments Tor The defence
OF Vera Cruz.
The port OF Tampico was not bockaded, he
states, as vessels were entering and departing,
though an American soop OF Waffle 81. Ma
rys-was in sight. Mr.. Schalzell and The other
Americans, who were so rudely driven from
Ma,amoras b. Ampudia, had reached Iampi-
co in safety though shaken in health by their
forced Journey OF three hundred miles. They
took shipping on the 23i ult. loT N. Orleans, where
they may be hourly expected

plains. Gen. Taylor takes the field with 50 over
wbelming a force, and so admirably equipped IN
that terrible arm the light artillery, that would
be madness in the enemy 10 fight again, where
defeat would be certain and retreat mposslbie--
Monterey is The first position OF any natural
strength, and it also commands the entrance oil
the mountain pass 10 Saliillo. Il is there, in all
probability, that Arisla will make his great e.
tort, which The importance OF the object, his
wounded pride, and the advantages Of the ground,

day in The history Of this wal

GEN. AMPUDIA-An amusing story is
| told BY Ranchero's wife Of The haste and trepi-
dation in which Ampudia crossed the river on
The afternoon of The OH of Maya day likely 10
be remembered in his calendar The good wo-
man saws, that Ampudia came 10 her house soon
after The firing commenced, al full speed and
| alone and begged her husband like hound 10
cross him over The river before those shouting de-
wills (ihe Americans) could ogertake him. The
poor tu,h.ndman complied. and ierried the poor,

apology for his own cowardice, swoIe that the en-
tire Mexican army was destroyed. One OF The
many runners aHaa,is, that Amputia has charged
10 The Americans. A hard bargain, indeed, 10
Aris'a. for his only pay was cannon balls and
cold sleel. Am2ndia says farther that he would
have won the day had he had the command. The

THE INDIAN TREATY.-The Austin
Democrat of the 9Th ul. gives the particulars
of the treaty concluded between Gov. Butler, the
| IT, S. Commissioner and various tribes Of lndi-
ans, at the Council Springs, upon the Upper
Brazos, on the 10Th May. Eleven tribes were
fully represented and all the chiefs signed The trea-
", and declared their determination 10 assist in
furnishing all who might violate il. One Of the
objects OF the delegation Of Indians who have
accompanied Gov. Butler to Washington City is
10 fix upon line Of boundary, within which
10 restrict the occupation OF the Indians. Ths
points settled b. the treaty are thus enumerated.
The In,iians acknowledge themselves under the
protection OF the United States, and recognize no
other authority plcdging themselves to perpetual
amy and friendship with the people Of the U.
States and all other friendly Indians. They agree
not 10 form alliances with the enemies Of the
country, and 10 give notice OF any contemplated
INVASION VI IlHpcHuiHS uduSCi. iIdeh uioe 10 W
give notice Of any violation OF the treaty on the
part Of any other. They are 10 give up all phi
soners, and aid the authorities Of the U. States in
Obtaining them. They pledge themselves TO de.
sist from all murder and depreciation, and 10 sur
render all offenders TO be tried by The laws OF the
United States The United States have The right
10 establish agencies and trading houses among
them, and 10 establish military posts, &c They
concede 10 the United States the right Of control
over all trade and Intercourse, and will in no in
stance seek personal redress for injuries either 10
person or property, but will in such cases apply
10 the United States agent. They concede the
right 10 introduce among them ministers OF the
Gospel and school teachers. They agree 10
prohibit the introduction OF sprltuous liquors
among Them, and 10 give notice OF the vio-
lation Of this provision The United States,
in consideration OF these sipulalions on the part
of the several Indian tribes represented at thetr"a
w, agree TO make peace for them with all their
enemies 10 give them presents every ail: &c, as
usua. in similar uealeS. The t-se.qua-t-as and
Mescalaros numbering together about 5000 souls,
who are branches Of he Lipans and allies of The
Camanches, and came recently from the Mexi
can praries, are included among the tribes re-
presented at the treaty. The Camanches are
anxious to conciae them.
IMPORTANT RUMOR FROM THE
ARMY.-A letter was received in town yesler-
day, (says the N. o. Tropic,) which stated that
Gen. Arsta had sent proposals 10 Gen. Taylor
for an armistice, and that he.had established his
head quarters al Monterey with $4,000 men -
Gen. Taylor is said 10 have sent back an answer
that "he would meet Gen. Arista at Monterey"
We have no doubt of the truth OF Ibis rumor.
AMPUDIA WISHING TO LEARN
Gen. Ampudia expressed himself anxious 10 learn
one Thing OF The Americans. and said il he could
do il he thought he could make his soldiers fight
better. The American officer to whom he spoke,
delighted with his cnquring mind, asked him
what he SO much wished 10 learn. He replied
with great simplicity "learn TO swear those big
words the Americans talk at their soldiers"
TENNESSEE vOLUNTEERS.-Flve more
companies of Tennessee Volunteers arrived here
last night (says the ". o. Courier) in the steam
er Tennessee from Nashville. These make II
companies of Tennssseeians now in this city, rea-
