The steamship New York, Captain
Phillips, a.fived at New Orleans on the
/ Is, inst, ffcm Brszos Santiago and Calves
ton, having left the former place on the
29ih and the latter on the Both ultimo.
( The New York reports that the propeller
Massachusetts, arrived a, the Brazos on the
2Gih uliimo.
We learn thai Mr.. Lumsden and his
party reached Point Isabel on the oath
ult., and the mex, day proceeded TO Naia-
uoras.
The American Flag Of the 9th, has the
following paragraphs:
A gentleman arrived in town yesterday,
from Monciova, direct. and in a remarka-
bly, short time. passing through Candida,
TIascala, Villa ALBANIA, Sabinas, Mier,
Camargo and Reynosa, and states tina,
every thing was perfectly quiet on the
route, and that the people are expecting
the approach Of our army. He learned
on the road tina, there had been no further
arrival Of troops a. Monterey.
/ At Monclova letters had been received
stating that Paredes had arrived at San
Luis Potosi at the head of 5000 men, but
having received despaches, by express,
countermarched his command and pro-
ceeded to retrace his steps to the city of
Mexico. The reason Of this sudden about
face is only TO be attributed 10 some pro
nunciamento at the capital.
The brig Empresaro arrived at the New
Orleans Barracks on the LIST inst, seven
days from Brazos Santiago, with Capt.
! Gen. Deshas company of Alabama
Volunteers, who have been ordered TO
New Orleans to be mustered out Of the
service according to Instructions from the
War Department. Six other companies
f.om Alabama, all the Louisiana Volun-
teers and the ST. Louis Legion, six months
men, are 10 be mustered out Of service by
the same authority. Coils. Peyton's and
Fcatherston's Regiments are not recogniz-
ed by the Department as being in the SER
vice al all.
When the Empressario left, most Of the
regular troops had gone TO Camargo, where
it is probable all are by This time. Unless
General Taylor has been detained, on ac-
count Of the withdrawal Of so many vol
unteers from the army, to make new ar
engagements regarding the disposition of
the remaining ones, he has joined the re-
gular army ere this at Camargo.
The Texan troops were about taking up
their march for Mier.
Several fine artillery companies had ar
rived from the seaboard before the Ems
pressaro left.
The following paragraphs are from the
n. 0. Courier Of ID inst
Governor Henderson was lying danger
ously i'll at Matamoras atthe latest dates
very little hope was, if any, entertained of
his recovery.
We are indebted TO a gentleman direct
from Camargo for the following inforna-
ton.
He informs US that the Rancheros are all
back or getting to their homes, as fast as
possible, and going TO wsrk on their
ranches again having abandoned the idea
of conquering the U. States, and subject
ing it to their own will.
If such is the case Canales and Cara
balal must have but few troops under their
command-report says they have none,
as their forces were made up entirely Of
rancheros. Rumor says that there are not
at this time at Monterey more than one
thousand or fifteen hundred men, but that
they are certifying it as fast as possible.
II is understood that it is the Intention
of the Commanding General to remove his
quarters, together with the Sd and 4ih re-
giments TO Camargo, by the first opportu-
nifty.
We understand that the command of
Matamoras, after the departure Of the
troops, will be committed 10 the charge Of
Major Clark; his cammand as Military
Governor will be sustained by four compa-
MES OF artillery, with a suificiency of vol
unteers to maintain his position.
