He is believed to have with him only ,5OO regu'
lar troops great many, if not ALL oil these ran
eheros AZ soon as they hear of the destruction oil
Santa Annals Army, will disperse. and TIE gallant
Colonel will, no doubt, obtain the victory
This news from above proves that tho various
reports which had before been received OF Cen
Tsylor's retreat upon Monterey, and the advance
Of large force to attack dePots at the Brazos
and at the mouth Of the Rio Grande, to be untrue
OF the defences at the mouth OF the river, know
nothing but have been told that they arc sufficient

be compelled to advance, and about 800 muskess to
line the parapet. This was thrown up when an at
tack was daily expected
Nothing having reached us from Gen Myler for
several days. we believe he has surrendered as
was reported We give some credit to the rumor
Of en- advance Of large body OF the enemy upon

After waiting three or four days anxiously ex-
pecting the approach Of the enemy, We received
the glorious news above understood of course, that
the battle of Brazos Santiago, was no go; and
when sailed the artillery of Port Harvey instead
of moving down the Mexicans, was pealing forth
salute in honor Of Old Rough and Ready and his
gallant Army at Buena Vista
