Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper.)
Extract Of a letter from Capt. Jas. Boyd, of
the Chesapeake Rihemen, Baltimore dated 4:
"CAMP TAYLOR, Camargo, Aug. 81.
owe marched from Matamoras to this place,
a distance of $50 miles, in eight days. The
men stood it very we'll indeed, and marched
every step Of the way atthe head of the boys.
| One day we marched % miles without drop
OF water, which gave ME great anxiety for the
men-in fact my care for them made me forget,
in measure, my own sulerings, which were
intense, my feet being blistered, my tongue
parched, and my head bursting almost with the
! intense heat The first water we saw was the
river San Juan, upon whose banks we are now
encamped. Nothing could prevent the men
/ from plunging into it, We are now, however,
! pleasantly situated, cutting what bushes we
can find to give shade TO our tents; and being in
Gen. Taylor's camp and under his eye, we
keep ourselves in good order. Camargo is
miserable place, almost destroyed few weeks
since by the overlooking ofthe San Juan. The
water was II leet deep in some parts of the
/ town, and in almost all parts oft six feet
The poor devils of Mexicans who were here,
took their golden gods to the river banks, and
prayed to them to stop the flood; but it was of
no use. The place looks as fit had suffered
from severe earthquake; the houses being built
Of a clay substance,a great many of them wash
ed away. | am led to believe that we shall
have to remain here until the rest of the troops
come up the river which will be two or three
weeks. About 1000 troops have already gone
on towards Monterey, for the purpose of estab-
fishing posts and garrisons on the road. Re-
port says that they have gone on and taken
| Monterey. That place and Sallilo are, in my
opinion, the only points where we may expect
TO have any fighting, and we are all impatient
for battle.'

The New Orleans papers have received Vera
Cruz journals 10 the close of August, and al
though not as late as the advices by the Prince
ton, they contain variety OF interesting intel
Iigence, summary of which we make up from
the Commercial Times, Picayune and Delta.
The revolution commenced in the city OF
Mexico, in favor Of Santa Anna, on the 9th
ult, had completely trumphed. The Monitor
Republican,, from whose columns copious ex-
tracts are made in the Vera Cruz papers, stat
cd on the 23d ult, that information had been
received of successive prOnuncamentoS in Pue-
bla, Vera Cruz, OdXaca, Queretaro, Michoa-
can, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi, Tamauli-
pas, Durango, Zacatecas, and Aquascalentes,
aud that sufficient time had not elapsed to hear
from the extreme points Of the Republic, 9TH
erwse, they would have had to chronicle the
complete and unqua lifted success Of the cause.
On the 24lh ult. Almonte, Rejon, and Gre
scenco Boves, the companions of Santo Anna
IL exile, reached the capital when the former
two were Immediately invested with the Offices
of Ministers, adiaterim by the head of the gov
eminent, General Salas. Gomez Fatias had
already assumed The duties of Minister of FL
nance. General Salas has published a decree
declaring the federal constitution Of 1924 in
force ad interim, that it remain until the meet
ing ofthe Congress to be assembled in Dec next.
He has also announced in another document
dated the 23d ult., that the Congress convoked
for the 9th of December next, would come to-
gether invested with penary powers, to enact
laws for the government of all branches Of the
public administration, and referring to the gen.
! eral interest. He had acted most vigorously
with regard TO every department of the publ c
SERVICE seemingly DESTROYS of making a tabtla
, rdsa before the elections took place, and re-
: ducing all things of an administrative nature
to their elements He had ordered the dis
solution of the Department assemblies, invest
ing the Governors with extraordinary powers
Tor which they were to be responsible to the
Supreme Government alone.
A deputaton appointed by Gen. Salas, head
ed by Senior Pacheco, had gone from Mexico
toward.Oera Cruz, for the purpose of meeting
Santa Anna, welcoming his arrival, and con
Quoting him to the metropolis. They were re-
ceived by the latter at his hacienda, Encerro
where long communication was delivered &c
9 him from Salas, who entered into a detailed
/ account Of the events which had taken place
since the day on which the revolution 6rok,
