I" Gen. Qui.man's brigade set out on The
march, for Alvurndo last evening. The
place is distant, some thirty or forty mile,
! south, md they will probably reach ilby
tomorrow night. Iprcsume that some ;o
the smaller vessels Of the navy, under
= Commodore Perry, will 60 down TO take
part in case The Mexicans see: fit To defen4
asit. Thcsimpression, however. is that they
will leave itwilhout struggle.
From the direction oi,thc city OF Mrxi

appears to be no duubt, however, that San
