Qulte the most important news by thta
arrival is the return of Gen. Parades to
Mexico. AT last accounts he was in Paris.
He reached Vera Cruz on the 14th inst in
the English royal mail steamer Ieuiot, un-
der an assumed name. The steamer was
telegraphed abou, o'clock in the morning
from the castle. From the steamer herself
a private signal was thrown out, known
only to English merchants, that a distin-
guished parsonage was on board. Prepara-
ton was made for his immediate reception
by his friends, but all was still as midnight.
The steamer anchored and Don Martino,
passenger from Havana, leaped into the
first boat lying alongside, landed on the
mole, and went to his friend, Pepe
Zamora, borrowed forty ounces, three
horses. hat, coat, and servant, and was past
the gates in less than thirty minutes with
a fast horse and a clear track.
The mail from the steamer in the mean
time came on shore. Among the letters
were some to the Collector and others,
from Gen. Campbell, our Consul at Havana,
disclosing the fact that Gen. Mariana Para

LATER FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
Since our last there have been several ar.
rivals from the Brazos, by which we have
the Matamoras Flag, of the 18th, l4th
and 18th insts.
Much the most important intelligence by
from the Flag of the 18th:
Our letters inform Us that Capt. Baylor
left Cerralvo on the 9th inst, and following
out his instructions, visited several ranches
in the neighborhood of where the recent
attacks had been made upon the trains.
With three prisoners which he had cap
tured, Capt. Baylor was returning to the
man-road, when he found himself surroun-
ded by large force Of Mexicans, stated at
three hundred, undoubtedly the same force
which had attacked the trains previously.
He was completely hemmed in and the
Mexicans charged upon his small band.

fire arms. Three of the party effected
their escape by crawling into the chapparel
and got into Cerralvo dreadfuy lacerated
with thorns. When they last saw Capt.
Baylor he was wounded and endorsed, but
still fighting, and only three of his men
we're in their saddles.

The Flag has become satisfied that all
intentions Of an advance towards San Louis
by the column Of Gen. Taylor have been
abandoned.
Gen. Marshall and Major Campbell
passed up the Rio Grande on the 18th inst,
on their way TO join Gen. Taylor.
FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND TRUTH"
odd FellopS' Motto.
Three sunny islets on LIES river,
Three golden arrows in LIES quiver
; Three stars that never fade or dim,
Three notes that angels love to hymn;
Three charms tina, guard the heart from sorrow.
Three whispers Of brighter morrow;
Three links tina! bind with slken band,
J Three watch-words on LIES stormy strand;
Three harbors mid the hearts comn,otion.
Three beacons on life's troubled ocean;
Thres fragrant flowers most fair TO see,
Three garands lwning round lile's tree;
Three gems Of pure ethereal light,
} Three paths all lovely, pure and bright
. Three threads Of life from Heavens throne,
Three glories mingled into one.
