The Union copies the following from the New Or

Interests 4sihdicating the probable design Of enera
Taylor in his next movements.
We understand that The next demonstration Of Gcncssi
Taylor will be upon the city Of Monterey. This place
about 80 leagues from Malsmoss and approached by
difficult road running through arid and ia wstrred
country IL Is The principal city Of the province Of New
Leon, and commands the entrance Of the table lands

sense be in the possession Of Gen. Taylor.
