LATER FROM THE ARMY.


The steamship Fashion Capt Fullerton, arrived
late last evening from Brszos Santiago. We have
received letters by this arrival, but we learn
verbally that there rs a general movement Of the
troops up the Rio Grande, Gen. Taylor was still
at Matsmoras, but he was sending forward the
cruits as fast his means Of transportation would
permit him 10 do so.
Adyices had arrived of the taking Of the town of
CamaTgo. Six companies Of the 7th regiment en-
tered that place day or two before the Fashion
sailed, without firing gun. These companies were
under the command of Capt Whiting and others.
When the United States troops arrived at Camsrgo,
Col Carrslabal was on the opposite side OF the ST.
Juan river He witnessed the entrance OF the troops
into the town, but offered no resistance.
Gen. Taylor had received reports from recon-
nolsance parties, who reported only three hundred
troops al Monterey. The general impression in the
army wus that there would be no resistance offered
10 the American forces this side OF that city. No
preparations for an attack Of the town were made.
The absence Of everything that indicated ress-
lance on the par Of the enemy had led to the belief
in the army that tho war wssat end. The i'm
preston was that negotiations for peace were on
| foot. There was no other way Of accounting for
the apparent sopneness Of the Mexieans.
Reports had reached the camp that Paroles was
afraid TO leave the city Of Mexieo-his presence
there being necessary 10 keep down a threatened
| Occasional broils between the Msxicans add
Texan volunteers occurred. The regular soldiers
exerted every means for the protection Of the cti-
| zens, who were promised security and support in
case hey conduct themselves in peaeeabie and n-
| offensive manner. " .
There was rumor IN camp that Mr.. Lumsden
i and his party had been intercepted and cut of by
Indians The report was NOT generally credited.
The volunteers were suffering from diarrhes, bus
| otherwise were well. Dee. .f-
The Fashion left Brszos Santiago last Tuesday,
and experienced heavy weather on the trip. The
Sea left eighteen hours before the Fashion, and has
| not yet arrived. .. .."

The Rio Grande, after swelling 10 such an extent
that its banks could not hold il, and inundating
lands that nature intended for the labors Of the hus
bandman, has become ashamed of its conduct, and
shown signs of repentance, by Withdrawing into its
own bed such portions as its uproarious spirit had
driven out. and has given assurances that any sur
plus quantity. for the future, shall be taken down to
the gulf nor suffered 10 annoy US by eDcroachments
upon our reserved rights. Ia flfment Of the above
| promise, she has already withdrawn over two feet
OF her runaway force.
