frontier up 10 Friday last
We have no papers by this arrival, End
.hc ini"rmation which VIC have rcrc we'd is
so'nowlla' incohcrant, though interesting.
Ii appears that tho revolutionary Forces
under Carvajal had attacked Ma,amoras,
and after desperate fight succeeded
III entering the city; but having learned tina |
a small American steamer plying on the
k'o Grandc, was coming up with American
io'P body of Tho rcvolu.ionis,s,
consisting OF tou. 2UD Texans, WAS
detached from the main force and proceeded
to attack her with the intention OF capturing
The MeAicans and scizi,I. two pieces OF
artillery which were on beard
The commander OF The steamer having
u5ia'ncd information OF this movement, i'm
mcdia'ely put about, and proceeding 10 tho
Bt;2os placed The troops and Two pieces of
artillery on board tho Mexican war steamer
Neptune. pherc they remained when
Capt. Arnct lett the Brnz,s. it was
thought that the troops were anxious 10
JON the rev0!Uti0niSlS.
The d!rcrsinn OF the Texans from
C"rvalai caused 4 suspension Of the attack
upon Matanioros. But The revolutionary
l:ad"r was hourly expecting rcinInrccmcn,s
from the direction OF Camargo, and when
rcI"lned by the two hundred Texans, the
Attack WAS To he resumed with yigor.
There can be little doubt tha, M,lam0.os
tc'i mo the hands Of Cnrvalal Oh Friday or
Saturday last.
From verbal reports, we learn that many
OF HE United States troops on the upper
Inc have deserted, and joined Carv.ja!
We also hear that dispatches have been
received here Tor more troops.
In the first attack upon Mutanlnros, i; is
stated that The revolutionary forces
lost only three men in killed. bot The
mortality on the side of the Mcycans was
much greater We ha no particulars as
10 the number Of troops under Gencral
Avalos, but his men arc said 10 have Tough,
with great bravery.
When Capt. Arnct left the Brazos, the
Tcptuno was ready coacd. and 1t was
supposed would make fora port some 100
miles south. The commander OF the
McXcans asked permission to march
through the United States territory,
in order to reach Ma,amoros, hu, this was
refused. The appearance of The TEXANS
probably prevented hm from gong up on
the Mexican sIdc,--N. O. Picayrnc.
