Arrival of the New York.

Arrival of the New York.
The steamship New York, Captain
Phillips, arrived in the course of the
forenoon yesterday from Brazos Santi,
ago and Galveston, having left the for
mer place on the 29th, and the latter
on the 3Oth ultfmo.
The New York, on the 3lst ult.,
when 80 miles from S. w. Pass, passed
the ship Shanunga from Brazos Santa
60 10 this port with volunteers,
The American Flag, Of the cath ult.,
has the following paragraphs:
A gentlemen arrived in town yester-
Gay from Monclova, direct, and in a re-
markable short time, passed through
Candala, Tlascala, Villa Altama, Sa-
binas, Mier, Camargo, and Reynosa,
and states that everything was perfect
ly quiet on the route, and that tn" pso-
pie are expecting the approach OF our
army. He learned on the road that
there had been no further arrival OF
troops at M Monterey.
At Monclova letters had been recelv-
ed stating that Paredes had arrived at
San Luis Potosi at the head of 5000
men, but having received dispatches,
by express, countermarched his com
mand, and proceeded to retrace his
steps to the city of Mexico. The rsa-
SON of this sudden about face is only to
be attributed to some pronunciamento
at the capitol.
A new company has been formed for
the protection Of the country bordering
on the Nueces. They leave here to-
morrow, or next day, for Corpus Chris
ii. A large portion of the men COM
prising this company were attached to
Capt. Bells corps Of "Corpus Christi
Rangers" lately disbandsd, and are re-
turning to their old cruising ground to
held in check the Camanche Indians
and marauding MeXlcans.
An officer who arrived yesterday,
from the upper encampment, states that
he saw the body OF murdered man a
bout three miles from here on the road.
He could not get his horse near enough
to examine the corpse closely, but from
what he could see, he was Of opinion
the deceased had been a non-commis-
stoned officer. We have more than
once cautioned people against "knock-
ing about unarmed. Volunteers and
sojourners are daily seen far from town
and the camp, unarmed, and it is matter
OF wonder that more are not killed.
1t was reported in town yesterday,
that some 5000 twelve months volun-
teers reached the Point on Wednesday.
The following paragraps are from the
New Orleans Courier Of the I'd inst.
Governor Henderson was lying dan
gerously i'll at Matamoras at the latest
dates; very little hope, if any, was en-
tertained for his recovery.
We are indebted to a gentleman di-
rect from Camargo for the following
info:mation:
He informs US that the rancheros are
all back, or getting back, TO their homes
as fast as possible, and going to work
on their ranchs again, having abandon
ed the idea of conquering the United
States, or Of subjecting it to their own
will.
If such is the case Canales and Car
rabaial must have but few troops under
their command; report says they lave
none, as their forces were made up en-
tlrely of rancheros. Rumor says that
there are not, at this time, in Monterey.
more than one thousand or fifteen hun
dred men, but that they are fortifying il
as fast as possible.
1t is understood that it is the inten.
ton of the commanding general to re-
move his quarters, together with the Sd
and 4th regiments, to Camargo by firs'
opportunity.
We understand that the command o.
Matamoras after the departure Of the
troops, will be committed to the charge
of Major Clark; his command as militia
nv governor will be sustained by foul
companies Of artillery, with sufficien
cy Of volunteers TO maintain his posi-
ton.
