THE SIEGE OF MATAMoRos RAISED.

By Telegraphic accounts from New Orleans, OF
yesterdays date, we have not only positive con-
tradiciion Of the story Of the capture of Maamoros
by the Insurgent forces of Northern Mexico, under
the command of CARvAJAL, but intelligence of the
Abandonment of the siege by the latter and the SUBJ
sequent rout Of his forces.
II appears that CARvAJAL persisted in his efforts
to capture the city until the 9th instant when, find
ing that he had gained no perceptibe advantage,
and despairing of receiving expected reinforce
ments he was compelled to raise the siege and beat
a retreat The Mexicans then sailed out and
routed the Insurgents, who are reported 10 have
suffered great loss.
CARvAJAL having retreated as far as Reynosa,
he there collected his scattered troops, and was
about returning to Matamoros to renew the attack.
The " Rio Bravo" says that at the latest accounts
from him he was daily receiving renforcements,
and had actually commenced his march towards
the scene Of contemplated action.
In the mean time, however, the defence of Mata-
moros had been strengthened by the arrival there
of Gen. CANALEs, with corps Of three hundred
Of the national guard, and Gen. UREoA was mo.
mentarily expected with eight hundred regular
troops.
five correctly understand the concluding por-
ton Of our despatch, CARvAIAL has assumed new
position for the nsurrectionists, and issued Decla-
ration Of Independence.
