ARRIVAL or THE VIRGINIA e. XMPRRsARIo.

/. at. Monterey-sahillo Threatened by
Santa Annd.
The steamer Virginia, Capt. Smith, ar
rived last evening from Tampico, via Bra
zos Santiago, having left the Brazos on
the 9Th ult. The brig Empresario, Capt.
Collins, which sailed from Tampico on. the
;26lh. also arrived last night. By these
vessels we have received letters from Mr..
Lumsden, al Tampico, some Of which we
give below. They contain all the intelli-
gence brought from Tam2ico. and clear up
some points in the accounts previously re-
ceived which appeared obscure.
We have conversed with q gentleman
who came passenger in The Virginia from
Brazos, and who is direct from Monterey.
He has kindly furnished us with the follow.
ing information. which is highly important.
II there be no error in tho accounts. They
were fully credited at the Brazos, and are
confirmed by Capt. Brewer, Of the schr.
Robert Mills, who arrived las, last evening
from lhaiport.r
An express from Gen. Worth, a! Sal,il.
10, arrived at Monterey on Wednesday, The
10th Of December. It brought the news
that Gen. Worth had learned through his
spies that Santa Anua was within three
days march Of Saltillo, al the heud of ali
army of twenty or thirty thousand men.
The express bore call upon Gen. Taylor
for reinlprcements. Gen. Taylor and his
staff had left M Monterey on the 18th ult,-
the day before The express arrived-ror
Victoria, 10 join his command, which was
two days march in advance Of him.
Gen. Butler, in command at Monterey.
Immediately sent off dispatches To Gen.
Marshall, at Cnmargo, and To Gen. Pa,ter-
son, at Matamoras, 10 send forward with
Z ont delayall the troops they could spare
from their commands.
Gen. Patterson had left Ma,amoras only
tlie day before the.news reached thai place
II was at once forwarded To him, and upon
learning its PurPort onr informant states
that he Immediately started on his return
with the view TO proceed to Monterey.
II was reported at Tampico on the 25,h,
as will be seen from the postscript TO Mr..
I.umsden's last letter, that a portion of
Gen. Pat.erson's command had entered
Victoria, but it is not mentioned that The
General himself had arrived, so that we
cannot Judge how Far ,he news from the
TWO sources may conflict
The express reported al Matamoras that
the road from Monterey to Camurgo was
