operations had been renewed by Carvaa the 18th ultimo
with largely Increased force; and that on the Goth

THE LATEST AND MOST RELIABLE NEWS.
A despatch dated at New Orleans two days later
than the above gives entirely different complexion
to the affair." 1t thus announces the repulse of
Carvajal and his followers:
| New ORLEANS, MARCH THE steamer Fanny has
rived from the asos bringing very contradictory state
ments of CarvalPs movements The American Consul
had received information, which probably correct
that Carvaja had attacked Camargo but had been
pulsed and obliged to retreat with the loss of his artillery
and ammunition Carvajal had about five hundred men
1 with him.
We have private despatch which confirms the
foregoing, and states, in addition that of Carvaaps
force consisting of 500 men, only eightyfour were
Mexicans, and the rest " fibustiers' The fugi-
tves escaped to the American side Of the river 1t
is to be regretted that forces the frontier are
| powerless to take care of them.
