son, arrived last evening from Brazos ST.
Jago, which she left on The 26lli. The
Yacht brought S3l ,3l4 in specie, con.
signed TO various commercial houses.
BY this arrival we have received the
Rio BRAVO of the oath, with highly i'm
portant intelligence. Ii is known that a
revolutionary movement has been some
tine going forward in TamauIipas, Goa
hula and tie adjacent States, but mere
particularly on the Rio Grande iron,ier.
On the 3D. inst, the citizens of Guerrero
put forth pronunciamento, followed on
the 9th by one from Camargo. The
causes assigned for the revolutionary
movement are. as we learn from the Rio
Brao0, as follows
/. The utter failure of the Federal
Government TO protect the Northern
Mexican States from Indian depreda-
tons.
2. The unjust, unequal. prohibitory
system of duties, which operates most
destructively on the interests of The PEG
pie of this frontier.
3. The despoiic powers exercised by
the Federal government, over the rights
and representation of the Several States
Every one at all familiar with the con-
dilion of Mexico, It's wretched policy
lis distracted government, and its ruined
treasury, is aware that these statements
are entirely correct. The brooding dis
content has at length proceeded To an
open demonstration The advocates Of
revolution, comprising many native
Mexicans and number of Americans
are commanded by Col. Caraiayal, an
active, enterpri>ing aud efficient parlizan
Captain. The RIO BRAVO says He
knows the temper Of the people of this
tronlier-he is good English scholar,
and is well informed on The general prin-
ciples of our goyernn ent. He is ADM
rably suited to ferret out and expose the
abuses and iniquities of the Mexican
Government, and 10 aid in devising plans
for the prevention of such ouirages.-
We learn that he has some four or five
hundred determined men, well armed,
under his command, who are ready for
any emergency that may arise.
We have no room to-day for The de-
tailed pronuncian.enios of Guerrero and
Camargo. They demand, in substance.
the expulsion Of the permanent troops
from the Stale: The inviolability of the
rights and property of the citlzeus; The
endowment of the States with all pow.

ment; equal representation in the Senate,

alton.
From this the reader may Judge of
the views of the Revolutionary party.
Now for the news, as we find it in
the "Rio BrGUo:"
The WAR Observation-Disclosures, on
which we rely, bias just been received
from Camargo, that sharp skirmish
has taken place between the troops OF
Cara laval, and the regulars Of the Gov.
erhment at tina. city, in which number
of men were wounded, and which re.
suited in the triumph of the PATRIOTS
We are not informed of the details
There is, no doubt, however, that Ca
MARCO is in the hands of The viclors. and
that they are in march for Reynoso and
Matamoras. The Government has so
weakened itself, by sending reinforce
menis to Camargo, that these places will
fall easily into the hands of the revolu-
tionists. We learn that Gen. Asalos,
commanding at Matamoras, received the
reports Of three couriers, yesterday, but
what news they brought, has not trans
pired. As there were no demons STATIONS
of success, no boasiing, and as the last
company of cavalry, at the disposal of
the General, was despatched last night.
towards the tof war, we infer that
the patriots are sweeping all before them.
Thus has commenced struggle that
may regenerate Mexico, and secure for
her people justice and prosperity. The
people of the U. States will not stand,
with folded arms, indifferent spectators
of this anlmating scene!
LAST MoMENT.-We just hear thai,
the commandment of Artillery, on The
side of the Government, was killed, and
some thirty other persons, military and
civil. Camargo is taken The fight is
up.
We have just received by express sew
eral letters which we give below, giving
The detail of the battle at Camargo. BY
postscriptin private letter, we learn
that Mier and several other towns are in
I he hands OF the lberators.
