Camp at Point Isabel, Texas.

y o CLOCK, A. M -. APRIL IA, lo4o.
My Dear Sir An express has just arrived
from the camp opposite Matamoras, which
reports that the MeXicans are crossing the rlv-
er above and below our camp, and that Gen.
Taylor confidently believes there will DE fight
ing Uery s0on-perhaps ere this our Dragons
have fallen upon their advance guard, though
[ think Ampudia will be very cautious in his
movements. Ills object undoubtedly is, if
he has sent troops across the river, to annoy
and harrass cur foraging parties, wagon traino,
&C., in word, TO conduct guerrilla warfare
entirely, and that is doubtless the true policy
lorhim. These ''Rancheros" or mounted mi
lita are, from their habits of life, well calcu-
lated for partisan war. They are inferior to
the Cossacks, undoubtedly, but their home is
in the saddle, and robbing is their occupation.
They will readily shoot any man for his horse,
and whenyou add to this the valuables about
the person of the rider, yon can easily imagine
what we may expect from them.
The Steamer leaves in few moments for
New Orleans. ...>.-.
Col. Cross has not yet been heard off,
Nothing can be learned from any Mexican,
though from negro captured by Dragon
picket, it seems he is a prisoner on the righ:
bank of the river. --A..,' r...s'
You cannot believe half yon will probably
hear from this place, in fact we cannot rely
upon our information altogether. <'.E-.<
Orders have been sent to the navy by Gen.
Taylor, TO blockade the Rio Grande and cap
ture all Mexican vessels. Similar orders are
sent to Vera Cruz.

Rio Grande, having been ordered off by the
United States blockading squadron, composed
of the brig Lawrence and the schr. Flirt. The
Equity spilled from this port on the 25th ult.,
with an assorted cargo for Matamoras.
The schr. Floridian, hence for Matamoras,
was likewise ordered off by the brig Lawrence;
and arrived here last evening. -

The last Robbery committed in this city, and
which has caused great deal of conversation
and sympathy for the sufferer, took place last
Sunday night, in that part of this metropolis,
now generally known by the name of the Island.
1t appears thatlG. Green, the person robbed,
had been saving his industrious earnings for
many years past, with the intention ofbuiding
house to live in. The money, amounting as
we learn, to about $500 was all in silver and
packed away in shot bags. All this money was
leloniously stolen and carried away by the viii
lains, sat one fell swoop." 1t is to be hoped
that our police, who are now on the alert,
will succeed in arresting the unprinCipaled viii
