The ADvANeE.-IF We learn by the last
steamer from Camargo, that all the reg,

the exceptions of'one regiment Gem
Taylor was still at Camargo, but it was
supposed that he would leave in a few
t days.
'.Gen. Twiggs had reached Camargo,
with about $500 men from this place, and
we understand he started off immediately
for Monterey. .s.s.55s. sriff

ahead of him, which would not create
much surprise in the minds of some.
During some days previous to the 9th
uit., Matamoros had been rife with runlors
of the taking of Monterey by party OF
men of San Antonio. f
1t was stated that Col. HARVEY, with
the troops at Bexar, had crossed the Rio
Grande at Laredo, and thus proceeded to
the place in question without advising the
commander of the movements, but des-
patches had been received from him since,
dated San Antonio; so that account is out
of the plae probability Now, if there
is any version ofthe affair that looks rea-
sonable, il is the Mexicans. They say
that letters from Monterey assert that a
body of Americans. who came down by
way of New Mexico, were Joined near
the Preside by a number of Texan-adpen-
tueros, and the combined force had enter
I'D the nown without opposition. 1t is
believed to be true by the natives. Two
weeks before, a letter had been received
at Matamoros from Monclova, stating
that boddy of Anne, leans was advanc-
ing upon that place, but it received no
credit whatever from our countryinen on
the Rio Grande.
Col. Hays remained, at last accounts,
enc 3mpcd on the Rio San Juan, in ad.
vance, waiting orders from Gen. TAYLOR.
On the 9th uit. it was stated al Camargo,
thatth whole of the Texan volunteers
were on the point of being disbandad, as
they were, six months men. Col. HAYS
and the Rangers were, il IS SUPPOSED, to
be entertained for three months longer.
