LATER FROM TIE RIO GRANDE.

The James L. Day. Capt. Griffin arrived yesterday morn
ing IRON Brasos Santiago having sailed thence the
ing Of Saturday last the 20Ih Among the passengers she
brought Lieut. Col. Payne, way Wash
ingon with Mexican trophies, Majors Erwin and Fowler,
CaPs Smith, Stockton and Page and Lieut. Sturges-al
Of the army.
The news by this arrival is not of great importance
The capture OF Reynosa by Col Wilson, Is confirmed so
Is the report that Gems Arisia and Ampuda had both
ordered to Mexico There a report in the camp to
which attach credit that Herrera had been restored
To power IN Mexico and that aTmislice haG been
dered TO Gen. Taylor
1t is stated upon good authority that Gen Taylor will go
up the river to Reyn0sa and probably Csmsrgo in
very short time.
We learn from correspondent that Governor Hend
who Fort Polk the 18th, h,. been mus
tered into the service a Major General Gen. Johnson
has been elected Colonel Of the Regiment Of Texas In
anty, Capt. McLane Lieut.. Colonel, and Mr. Wells
formerly Of the army, Major. II is said that MAJOR Jack
Hays has been elected Colonel of the Regiment OF Texas
Rangers, and Walker Lieut. Colonel but have not tho
same authority Tor this statement.

FOUNDER battery.
the steamboat Aid ReynOsa has been almost entirely
abandoned by its inhabitants also the ranches between
Matsmoros and the former place.
The recent appointments IN the Rifle Regiment are
exciting those painful reflections and remarks in the army
which anticipated. No objection is made to those
who received appointments but the rule adopted by the
regular service.
From the Republic Of Rio Grands" of the 10th inst,
We how proceed TO make extracts bring up the mill
iary news little more copously:
| FRoN THE MEXICAN ARNY-Bya Mexican citizen. d.
rect from Camurgo. informed that the
has ordered the immediate appearance Of Generals Arsa
and hmpuda in the city OF Mexico the former to explain
satisfactorily the Of the msiOnunes which bee the
army in its late unsuccessful attempts upon the
fcroes-the latter doubt sustain some very serious
charges which he has preferred against Asa The repre-
sensations made by these two chieian Judging from Cd
sua expressions immedi after the destruction Of their
united forces, differed materially. Gen. Aris,a passed
through Monterey some twelve days Sgo upon his way
the city OF Mexico. Con- Ampudia proceeded by the yAy
Of Tampico. The almost universal opinion Of the Moxi
population is, that Arsa sold his country for good
| round sum Of American gold.
lO the editors Of the "Repube" have no faith
in this charge against Arsa, and refue at length
