The advance up the aver, the slUggishness
in Mexican towns, has resumed its sway
there.-Tho Aasrrican Flag says al the
excitement seems % have left Matamoros,
and followed the troops up 10 Camargo.
The utmost activity prevailed at Camarge;
tsoops were sent off daily into the interior,
taking the route 10 Monterey. The Ameri
can Flag of the 29th ult., in relation TO
this, has the following:
The ADvANcE.-We learn by the last
steamer from Camargo, that all the regulars
had departed for the interior with the ex.
ception of one regiment. Gen. Taylor was
still at Camargo, but it was supposed that
be would leave in few days.
Gen. Twiggs had reached Cainargo with
about $500 men from this place, and we IN
derstand he started of Immediately for Mon
terey.
Gen. Worth, If he continued his march
must be close 10 Monterey about this time
He will probably have the honor Of march
ing the first troops into that place, unles
the "adyehturers" have got there ahead o
him, which would not create much surpris
in the minds Of some.
During some days previous to the 29tl
ult., Malamoros had been rife with rumor
of the taking of Monterey by a party Q
men from San Antonio.
Il was stated that Col. Harvey, with III
troops from bexar, had crossed the Ri
GIande at Laredo and thus proceeded TO til
place in question without advising the Con
! mander of the movement; but d6spatche
had been received from him since, dated
an Antonio; SO that account is out of tt
pale Of probability. Now Ii there is al
vel sion Of the affair that looks REASONABLE
it is the Me1icans. They say that lette
ftoFn Monterey assert that body Of Amel
J cans who came down by the way of Ne
J Mexico, were foiasd near the presidio By
: number Of Texan ddoenturers, and the CO.
I bined force had entered the town witho
! any opposition. Il is believed TO be true
! the natives. Two weeks before letter
been received ct Matamofos from Monclol
1 stating that body Of Americans was !
i vancing upon that place, but it received
4 credit whatever from our countIymen
