O'Clock ON the afternoon Of the -th INST. Tamplco
on the afternoon OF the 10Th. and Brazos Santiago
on tue ia. She arrived At the 8. W Pass on the
night Of the 18th. having made very fine run.
The Galveston brought no later news directirOm
the army Of Gen. scott for there had been no far
thcr arrival Of cOur.ers at Vera Cruz. Z" g learn
nothing more of the march OF Gen. Pillow. and re-
main still in the dark as 70 his position The Pal
mcttO left Vera Cruz shortly alter the Galveston,
aud arrived ~ Tmpico on the 10Th she may
shortly be expected, and possibly may bring later
news.
From Tampico we have some verbal intelligence
not without interest The American prisoners had
not arrived there. but were at place about forty
leagues distaut--probably Hueiut.a. On the -th
inst Col DeRussy, Of the Louisiana Regiment, LETT
TamDicO at the head Of about two hundred men, IL
tending % proceed 20 the relief OF the prisoners
tie took with him a small force Of the regular ar
tillery 8 portion o. his own regiment and some Of
the mounted men of TampiCO-a serviceable de-
scription OF force raised in the town. It's more
than probable that the Colonel will have brush
with the enemy before be gets back. There are
said 10 be pretty strong parties Of Gueuos on the
route to be followed
Capt Mavo Of tae Navy aud Governor Of Ava
RADIO having received intelligence that Father ia
rauta was IN the vicinity, and designed TO surprise

ceived from II.
By the way Of Tampico received copy Of
III ReDubhc0aO from the City OF Mexico, OF the
3Oth June also the number OF the gath which

10 have been held in Gen. SCOTS camp on Thursday,
the oath, the business OF which was 10 determine
whether or not % advance upon the Capital One
General whose name is not given, IS SAID To have
argued that it would be imprudent, nay, an act OF
madness 70 advance upon the city with less than
twenty thousand men; that upon the supposuon that
every thing should work favorably Tor them, " was
evident that they could not he Capital without
resistance aud that supposng IN their different engage

Gen. Worth Of different opinion lie maintain
ed that every invader who besitsed was lost tnat IN
their situation o single rerograde movement involved
the most disastrous consequences aud that this mad al

eight thousand Americans were sulcent 10 conquer
twenty thousand MeXicens mat thclr t1cmpn was cor

Scott and others are said 10 have approved these sent
nens so that it at las, determined That they snould
