22d Of February, and that no further inferma-
ton could be had. There are between 900
5000 men between Camargo and Monterey,
who have entirely cut off all communication
between those two places. Gen. Urea is at
Marino, a town about 30 miles this side of
Monterey, with six thousand cavalry, and
Canales had raacheroS sufficient to make up
the number. Gen Taylor has issued orders
that not less than one regiment shall attempt
to leave Camargo on this route. Col. Nor

four thousand strong,t left Ceralvo, where
they were stationed, to join Gen. Taylor, af-
