The Revelation Mexico.
Apparently in reply to suggestion that the admins

nouncing as "punderes and robbers any American cit,
zens found in the ranks of the Mexican revolutionary
army or IN any way engaged in the revolutionary move.

following evidently official announcement:

We are at a loss TO understand this The main decla
ration is, that UeryJew American citizens have taken
part in the insureclionary movement" Every account
which have noticed appears TO us clearly to prove the
exact contrary Here is part of one of the first ele
graphic dispatches received in this city on The subject
and published by us ten days ago. II shows that in
the revoluio army there were tvo whole companies
of Texans, and that the Mexicans of Matamoros would
not join in the movement:

leave rational doubt that American citizens formed

Here is OF these letters written apparently from the
vicinity Of the field of the principal battle, and while it
was yet raging II shows the exact disposition in the
ranks Of the American company, its commander

statement made 10 the Picayune by passenger direct
from Brownsville is, that shout fioo hundred Amer-
