that Santa Anna is making preparations to
re,unn to Mexico. He anticipates leaving

however, depend much upon his advice 10 ar
rive per steamer on the 9Th ;but that he re-
turns there, and that very shortly too, you
may rely upon. There are other on dts
about him that give for what they are worth.
1t is said that he is much exasperated at the
design of few traitors to sell the county 10
foreign powers, after The wasting of so much
blood aud treasure 10 achieve independence.
His return TO Mexico will be marked by an
N entire change. in his policy. The Unit

may yet be considered good The disease most
prevalent is the diarrbea but believe it is milder
state of the disease than generally prevails in this
climate, and at this season of the year To prevent
the spread of this, the surgeon of our regiment
has protested against the Of green corn and
cordingly colonel has totally prohibited its ad-
mission into the lines | assure you there never
was an action on the corn laws of England that pro-
duced much dissatisfaction this direct prohibi-
ton of our military ruler Ii was utterly out of the
question to hold public meetings on the subject and
had they been held would have been Of no avail for
our king rules without consulting ministers or par

Yesterday Colonel Wilson's command crossed the
river in obedience to order, to proceed Camar
go and take possession Of that point. II is about
| ninety miles above here, the river, and thirty
above Reinoso, place where suppose he Will halt
for day or two. A lieutenant Of the rangers told
me he expected there would be a brush between
Wilson and the Mexicans at the former place, but
did not seem to think it would amount 10 any
thing.
We are as ignorant here Of our destination as you
are in New Orleans other than that start up the
river. Some are Of opinion that The army will be
scstered, and take and occupy posts on the river,
while the larger portion seem sanguIne that we
march directly for Monterey, where the enemy's
forces are concentrating and fortifying themselves
should the latter prophecy I've verified we will have
warm work in reaching the point, as the sun is
warmer in the prairies on the route than you can
imagine. Monterey is ninety leagues from Mata-
moras, and eighty from the Flo Grande, and were
il not that the rains keep the praires wet, it would
be difficult for infantry to reach water when needed
and at easy marches.
A party of rangers went out the other day and
fell in with ten or twelve Mexicans, two Of whom
thsv killed, the balance surrendered immediately
and all but two were suffered to depart. They were
armed; and the rangers fired without questioning
whether they were friends or enemies taking it for
granted that armed men were the latter.
