October s.
Advices from Mexico were received by
the JAMES l.. Day which appear to US of
the utmost importance. The American
Flag of the 26th ultimo. published at
Matamoras. announced the receipt of late
news there from the city of Mexico di-
rect, but the details given are not of i'm
porsance. We are able to announce,
however, most positively, that letters
were received in this city by the Day,
by gentleman deeply interested in Mex
lean affairs. and from very responsible
FOREIGN source in Mataflioras, which say
that Gen. ALMoNrE has been appointed
President Of Mexico AID INTERIM, and
Gen. AANTA Anna generalissimo Of the
armies of Mexico; and further, that San
70 Anna was then engaged in raising and
organizing troops, intending to take the
field in person in the North. This news
viii strike every one as important in va
rious aspects, but il IS especially so as it
may bear upon the armisiice granted by
Gen. Taylor to Gen. Ampudia's forces.
and again upon the dependence which
the Government at Washington may have
placed in the pacific intentions OF Santa
Anna.
We have receiyed Says the Delta) the
first number of the BoLETN OFFICIAL, da-
ted Monterey, 9TH September, which con-
tains all Gen. Ampudi1ss orders and pro-
clalnalions from the 28ih August 10 the
Sd September Most Of these documents
have been published already, but We find
General Ampudia's proclamation 70 the
inhabitants Of Coahui!a, Nuevo Leon, and
Fanaulrpas, which had not been transla-
ted. 1t is dated 1t the Generals quar-
iers in the city Of Sailillo, 25ih OF Au-
gust, 1876. The following is an extract:
my friends, our brother departments
are preparing for the battle; they VIII

teers, with eli necessary supplies; and.

duet the campaign personally. Thus,
lhsn, cheer up my brave coua.ryinen, and
show your indignant hostility to our cne-
mics by every means which your power,
right and position should dictate. =
The following items we take or make
up from the MataFnoras Flag:
Sickness continues to prevail 10 a great
extent, both at CamarEo and Matanoras.
81 Cana7go j! is said that there are eight
or ten deaths per day.
All the hospitals in A!atamoras are full,
and new ones were being opened. Two
hundred entered the hospitals there on the
week ending the 23d ultimo.
Capt. Swartwont. the commandant at
Reynosa, is terrifying his position. Gen.
Patterson is doing the sarge al Camargo.
A gentleman who arrived at Matamo-
ras from Camargo informed the editors of
the Flag that eight Mexicans, including
two women, had been killed Only few
miles below that place. The murder was
attributed to some Of the volunteers, but
they of the Flag hope it is not so.
The Camancha Indians are commit
ting serious depredaiions along the east
bank Of the river, and on TO the Colorado.
