FROM THE Rio GRANDE,-R Reports from
Monterey stale that the town and the ap.
proaches TO it are being put in a complete
state Of defence, and that considerable
body Of the Mexican army is stationed
there.
1t is understood that Gen. TAYLOR will
advance at the earliest moment that he
can establish depot at Comargo, which he
designs to make the base of operations to.
wards Monterey. A part Of the Mexican
tactics is to prevent the supplies ofthe coun-
try, as far as possible, from reaching the
American army For this purpose, it is
stated that CANALEs and his band of par.
tizans have been engaged IN driving of
The cattle from all the surrounding coun.
try. or course, therefore, it will no
answer for any forward movement to be
made except with abundant provision
transports. To The proposed depot at Co
MARCO it is designed TO use steamboats, fol-
transportation. Thence however an i'm
mense number of wagons will be required
Much dissatisfaction, it is said existed
among the six month volunteers, on the re
cept of the order, that they should enlist
for twelve months or be dishanded.

wounds, exclaimed, unconciously, "What

Sergeant, exclaimed, ale said he would

Discussion among the Jews in London,

UlAAtlAlUU ulllUHS lhO JONs III hVhuVh'
Discussions have lately occurred among
the Jews of the metropolis which are dali
ly assuming more serious aspect, and
promise to end ere long in an entire break
up of the Jewish community. Nor are
lhe differences which exist among the
London Jews confined TO their own syna-
gogues they have extended TO the coun-
try, and ere agllatlng the synagognes OF
Liverpoul Portsmouth, and other places.
The new sect call themselves the 'Reiorm-
ed Jews an expression which sufficiently
denotes the principles and purposes OF the
seceders Nothing in history perhaps
constitutes case so nearly parallel to this
movemont among the Jews, as the Relor-
nation in Germany, in the beginning OF
the 10Th century.
Tae Reformed Jews claim the right OF
exercising their own judgment in all rel-
glous matters. They refuse TO surrender
heir judgment TO that of the Rabbs.--
They interpret Scripture tor themselves,
and regard the Talmud, hitherto held IN
the highest reverence by the Jewish com
munity, as no better than bundle OF ia
bes. Corresponding reforms are made IN
the service OF the synagogue. Practices
which the body from whom they have sepa
rated epresent, as having been most relI'
giolsly observed from the days Of Moses
10 the present time, have been unceremo
nously dispensed with by the congrega
ton Of Reformed Jews in the Burton ST
synagogue, They have carried the system

The war between the United States and
Mexico engrosses public attention in Eng.
land. The victories Of the Americans on
the Rio Grande has changed public feeling
both in England and France from sym.
patty for the MeSicnns 10 contempt. The
change of opinion, however, is as unjust
TO the Mexicans as the former feeling was
to the Americans. The MeScans deserve
much credit for their gallant stand, and it
was only tho superior tact and energy Of
Gen. Taylor and his brave little army that
overthrow them. Lou, Democrat.

The RanrhrrnS Of Mexlrn.

We copy from an Albany paper the fol-
lowing description Of the Mexican Ran
cheros:
alt will have been observed in the seve-
raj statements that have from lime to time
been put forth, relative to the material for
the Mexican armies, and more particularly
the one which the American troops had
Just encountered that mention is made OF
description of troops called Rancheros.
This is an appellation derived from their
occupation and mode of life, and is com.
mon to a similar class of men who subsist
on the pampas of South America. Half
Indian and half Spanish in their extrac.
ton, gaunl, shrivelled, though muscular in
their frames, and dark and swarthy yisaged
as they are, these men are the Arabs of the
American continent. Living half of the
time in the saddle (for they are unrivalled
horsemen) with lasso in hand, they tra-
verse those vast plains in search OF buffalo
and wild horse, who roam there in count
less herds. The killing Of these animals
and the preparation and sale of their hides
is their sole means OF livelihood, other
than occasionally lending a helping hand
to some of the partzans in the civil wars
that have continually been waged around
them. Their costume generally consists
of pair of tough hide leggings, with san
dals of the same material hound together
with leather thongs, over which is ban.
ket with hole in The centre, large enough
to allow the head to be thrust out, and
which falls not ungraceiuly over their
shoulders, leaving ample room for the play
of their arms. Add TO this broad som.
brero, and the lasso hanging ready for use
in his girdle, and you have the Ranchoro
as he appears in peace, or in the pursuit
of his occupation. Join 10 this long
lance, with a sharp spear head, ornament
ted with strip of bunting, on horse
as savage and unmnnagenble as himself,
his belt plentilully supplied with pistols
and knives, and you have the Ranchero as
member of a troop of Banditti, or as a
soldier in body of cavalry.
"Cowardly as they generally are in the
open field, vet in conflict among the cha
parrals of MeXco or in an nmbuscade, they
are indeed formidable enemy. Their
power of enduring fatigue is almost mex
hauslibIe, and scanty meal per diem
of ierked beef and plantain sudices them
during months.
"Such are the Raucheros and under dis.
cipined control, they would be rendered
the best light troops in the world. These
are the men who comprise the great body
Of the Mexican cavalry, and they are to
the armies of that nation, what the Co.'S
sacks are to the Russians-ever on the
alert, never to he surprised, and unit.
ring in pursuit of the foe, when plumber,
no matter how trihing is to be obtained"

MYSTERIOUS AND PERHAPS lMPoRTANT.-
An eminent commercial house Of this city
has received instructions to charter q YES
sci, either for Vera Cruz or Tamplco, for
the purpose of conveying thiIher gentle.
man who has recently arrived at the
North, flom England together with four
companions. The letter TO that effect,
which has been exhibited to US, states that
the party in question have powerful red'
sons for avoiding the Havana route, APP.
piled to our government, nj Washington,
for pei mission to proceed to Mexico unmo-
Tested, and to charter a vessel with that
view at New Oreens. The request was
not only granted, but instructions have
been forwarded to Commodore Conner, to
facilitate the object of the travellers, by
transferring them on board of an English
man.of war, from whence they can be ca.
silly landed at either of the above men
toned places. The vessel will be ready
10 leave by the LIST Of July.
The gentleman in question is near
relative of the Mexican Ambassador in
London, and is waiting, probably at New
York, for dispatches by the Caledonia
steamer now due. His movements may
have some connection with the existing
state of affairs in Mexico. At all events,
the inference is not improbable.
