We learn from passenger direct from Ca
margo, which place he left on the 7lh, ,ha, an
express arrived there as he was about TO leave
bringing intelligence that Col. Harvey had been
arrested on charge Of disobeying orders, when
four days on his march from San Antonia TO-
wards Monterey. Generals Taylor and Wool
sent after him, and had him and his men bro't
back to San Antonio, where they remain under
arrest.
Gen. Taylor crossed the San Juan on the
9th, and took up the line Of march on the 9TH
for Sefova, where the forces under Worth had
halted. Hays regimen, would leave China
and take up The line of march for The same
place, so as 10 reach there about the same time
with Taylor.
In the advance Of Gen. Taylor in the interi-
or, he seemed determined TO be prepared for
any emergency, either in advance or retreat,
for he would not suffer either officers or men
TO take more baggage than they could pack upon
their backs. In consequence of this, number
of steamers had reached Matamoras freigh,ed
down with "e1tra baggage" the quartet of the
sappadores was literally crammed with it, All
the supplies so far have been sent off by pack
mules, and the General expects TO have thirty
days provisions for $4,000 men at Serolya
when he reaches it, where it is generally be-
lieved he would remain for some length Of time,
and many think, until further advices are re.
ceived from Washington.
Gen. Taylor believes, notwithstanding the
news he has received of the advance of Mex

Iillo-thst he can 60 into Monterey, and even
10 SaIlillo wthou. meeting any opposition.
The troops on the road now between Camar
90 and Monterey will number near Il, 900, and
none were suffered to 60 who could not stand
a long march and were not perfectly willing
In consequence Of this, the volunteer regiments
that left were much reduced, very few of then
exceeding five hundred men, and some less.
There were 600 sick volunteers in the Hos
pital at Camargo, and they were dying very fast
So many were sick, tha. it required near ;
whole regimen, to attend them. Those whom
the Tennesseeans left behind, seemed TO b,
particularly unfortunate, for they had to call OIL
The Alabamians to attend the living and bur.
the dead. As fast as these men get able Il
leave the Hospital, they are discharged AM
sent home. In fact Gen. Taylor has disposl
ton to discharge all volunteers who are dis
con.en,ed and wish TO return home. Thoug
