The accounts from the Southwest state that Ca
MALES, with six hundred rancheros, was between
Camargo and Monterey. The interposition of an
enemy on this route, which forms Gen TAYLoR's
line OF connexion with the Rio Grandc the source
Of his supplies, must prove to be very annoyino. if
the hostile force should become strong. To guard
against all danger from such an apprehension it is
evident that efficient force should be left alonu
the river from Matamoras to Camargo, especially
at the latter place. Gen. TAYLOR cannot afford to
weaken his own army by sending detachments to
keep open the communications in his rear; nor
would 1t do now for him to be obliged to adopt the
course pursued by him at Fort Brown, when he
turned with his whole army to drive the Mexicans
from their position between him and his source of
supplies, Point Isabel.-Bat. american.
