We have no later news from the Army, by
/ the New Orleans papers of the eth ult. The
following paragraph, however, from the
Charleston Patriot, which is the very latest,
renders it probable that we shall have some

steamer from Texas was reported coming up"

Mexican steamers, .M0ntezumG and. GuaduLo1ip
had escaped from Vera Cruz and arrived at Ha-
wanna under English colors on the Gath, in six
! DAYS. One Of the commanders reported that
| there had not been any news received at Vera
! Cruz of the battle of Matamoras, when he sail
ed. 1t was reported at Havana that demand
had been made on the Mexican Government,
by the builders of these steamers or by English
merchants who advanced the money, for pay
ment, in default Of which their delivery was
required, and that they were consequently sur
rendered to their custody. This course was
adopted with the view of saving them from
capture by our squadron.
