a decree, with long preamble, was issued BY
the Goyernmen, on The I'd Of October, requiring

Guired 10 contribute sum equal 10 the fourth

The Mentor OF the Sth Of October says: "We
know that the Secretary OF The Treasury has
pronosed 10 the venerable Clergy Of this diocese

minishipe in any manner The value OF eccesias

nerabl. Clergy postponed their decision and that
they ire nc, i'm presssd with the urgent ssity o
the Government TOR grea, resources, in order &c
save The independence and nationality OF Mexl-

The Monitor Of the 18th October says: at is

has received proposals for foreign loan oil TWEEN

substantially upon mortgage OF The properly

o'clock A, NJ.
Tenth day-The army arrived the Rio Grande this day
at o'clock A. M. The road is very winding, and passes
several and deep raynes which crossed,
however without much difficulty. The country hlly, the
vegetation unted and scattered, and the soil Of indifferent
quality.
The line of march is known as VOLTS road II is more
crcuous than the old Preside hut by crossing the
their source il perhaps practicable for
army during greater portion of the year It's general direction
southwcstery the southng being mostly made of the
Nueces.
Il may be added that the march accomplished under
circumstances less favorable than the which
attended il remarkable Il had been preceded by drought OF
several weeks which had only rendered the road hard and
in good condition for travelling but had reduced the streams
TO fodabe depth Over many OF the latter would be very
difficult bridges during freshes and to ford them
at such times would be impossible. large portion OF the
route lies through country the soil of which is OF such
that light would convert the roads into
don so to be impossible for loaded wagons, II the
streams offered obstacles 1t is presumed that east OF Inc
Nueces during all seasons there ample supply OF water
of that river however the streams generally shallow,
and soor become dry II cannot be doubted therefore, that
droughtsof long duration favorable military operations
in this country.
The temperature during the march has been very unequal,
and its extremes appear somewhat remarkable On some days
the mercury has ranged from 900 $50 Fahrenheit and at
night sunk dso These nights, though cold, have
been favorable heavy deposes Of dew thereby produc-
