The REVOLUTION IN MExIco.-By arrival last
night lat New Orleans) of steamship Fanny
from the Brazos, we have news from Brownsville
to 28th ult. 1t appears that another fight has
taken place between Gen. Carvajal and the gov
eminent troops, and that the efforts of the revo-
lutionists have been again defeated.
The following is the most important news:
BROWNSVILLE, Feb. %.
Our town has been the theatre of intense ex-
element in reference to the late battle near Ca
margo, between the forces of Gen. Carvajal and
the Mexican troops, under command of Gen.
Carnales and Col. Cruise. BY arrival of steamer
Tom Mckinney on 25th inst, we are put in pos
session of the result and we truly rejoiced to
receive the assurance that the loss of Mexican
official reports received at Matamoras on Mon
day and Tuesday, led us to apprehend. The re-
port of Canles is to effect that the forces under
Carvaial, were entirely routed and driven across
the rivers San Juan and Rio Bravo, in such con-
fusion that an immense number were drowned
that forty eight were found dead on the field
and twenty-four wounded The account brought
down by those who were engaged in the battle
with Carvaial differs very widely as to many inn
portant details, but from what we can gather.
the following embraces very nearly the facts
On Friday the 20th, Carvajal crossed the river a
few miles below the Rio Grande City, and
marched slowly up towards Camargo. On Sat
urday they were met by forces under Mexican
leaders, at that time the force under Carvajal
amounted to an indefinite number, rating be-
tween 1000 and 500, reports differ so widely,
sixteen of whom were Indians, also IL pound
gun, and good supply ammunition. The Mex
lean force charged on Carvajal with uncommon
impetuosity with $50 cavalry. On receiving the
first charge, a large body of Carvajals troops
broke and fled in great disorder. The men who
first commenced the stampede, are said to have
composed the command of Capt. Nunez, and
were mostly Mexican, but in their progress they
took with them many Americans. These fled
the field and never returned. Those few go
men) who stood the onset repulsed the charging
party by discharging their gun double loaded
with canister making great slaughter In their
ranks The charge was repeated three different
times, with like result After this the Mexican
forces retired, also about this time, the remain
ing forces of Carvajal left in small parties-it
now being between III and II O'Clock at night,
and quite dark In few hours from that time,
the battlefield was deserted by both contending
parties, when it being known to the Mexicans,
that Carvajal had left, they returned and took
possession of the ground, their opponents hav
ing left their only gun, ammunition, wagons
&C. The Mexican general reports also l20 stand
of arms taken at the same time. CarvajaPs men
are on this side, dispensing and disorganizing. -
Thus ends the revolution for the present at least
