Santa Anna has about A 900 men with him, and

The citizens at Tampico very aDprchen-
sive Of attack on that place from rowing
banditti under the command Of Capt. Pauline,
who has rendered himself as notorious, from his
many acts of daring and attrocity, as The great
Col. Cauales. However, the troops garYieonlng
the place appear to look very light upon his
threats and demo nstrations, and are really anx-
ious he should attempt to carry out his designs
They confident he will not make a second
attempt
There is a large rowing banditti between this
city and Jalapa, and ii seems as it nothing can
get them out except a few companies of rangers.
They are numbering and committing the most
unprecedented barbarities, even IN ln-ian war
fare.
