along deem spelled Srralvo. A Mcx-
can says it is Cerralvo, and signifies

CERRALvo, Sept. 7, 1916
From what can gather, a plan is on
foot to surprise Canalcs and Carrasco in
their strong hold near Passa Gallos. 1t
will be u difficult matter, so wide awake
and cautious are these fellows, but no
harm can be done if it fails.
The prisoner taken the other night
by McColloch turns out TO be a shrewd
chap and of no inconsiderable impor-
tance. He admits that he was sent
ahead 10 better himself in the way of
swapping horses-that is, by leaving his
own and stealing one of ours-and also
to collec, information in relation to the
strength and position of Gen. Worth's
camp Canales will probably wait
some time for his return, for he is fast
enough here.
There is a rumor here-nothing but a
rumor, mind you-that Santa Anna is
advancing upon Monterey with 10000
men ! might give you column OF
other reports IN circulation, but they are
all Of little moment and come from most
unreliable sources-Mexican mouths.
l am fearful, after this, that the chan
ccs of sending letters to New Orleans
| will be few and far between l shall
snap at every opportunity however.

In addition to the above, the letter
from Camargo in the Flag, says that it
is positively asserted that the Mexicans
are determined TO make strong resis-
tance between Ccrralvo and Monterey
that Arista is cooperating with Ampu-
dla, and that their forces are rapidly
augmenting; and that the Mexicans
are rallying to their standard from all
quarters. This representation as to the
movements Of Arista differs from that of
our correspondent, The following is
from the same Camargo letter:
The heat has retarded somewhat, the
progress of the troops which left here
with Gen Taylor, it being out Of the
question to march during the heat of the
day. The troops were in high spirits
and eager to come up with the Mexicans.
Two companies of Ranger that were
here, having their horses shod, started
off Immediately after Capt. Murray's
arrival. All is quiet here. Proclama-
tions from Santa Anna, Ampudia: and
the Governor Of Tamaulipas, have been
received in town, and are having their
effect upon the Mexicans The procla-
nation of Ampudia makes the penalty
very severe upon all who may furnish
provisions, assist in transporting provis-
ions. or in any wise aid the Americans.
1t prohibits them from holding any in.
tercoursc or carrying on any trade with

per,y are the penalties for dsobeying the
order These proclamations have also
been received in Mier and Reynosa.

BY the late arrival from Havana, no.

ceived papers from Vera Cruz to the
3Oth ult. inclusive. From them we ga
ther the following intelligence:
The revolution commenced in the ci-

ed. The Moniter Republican,, from
whose columns copious extracts are
made in the Vera Cruz papers, stated on
the 23d ult., that information had been
received of successive pronunciam,cntos
in Puebla, Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Quereta-
