THE WAR ON THE RIO GRANDE, AND DEFEAT OF
THE INSURGENTS AT CERRALvO

The g American Flag newspaper published at
Brownsville, on the Rio Grande, furnishes news
from that quarter to the 10th utimo, by which we
learn that Carvaal and his band of insurgents have
met with no better success in their demonstration
against Ceralvo than they did at Matamoros
They have been compelled to raise the siege and
retreat to the American side Of the river The
:" Flag says that Gen. HARVEY has returned to
Rnggod Barracks, and is determined to enforce
our neutrality laws so far as may be in his power
The Flag is opposed to the revolutionary move
ment in Northern Mexico, of which it speaks in
condemnatory terms, denouncing those engaged in
it, advising all Americans to obey the laws of their
country, and predicting for Carvaja speedy over
throw. The following is the latest intelligence Of
the operations of the antagonist forces:
" The steamer Camanche arrived here late on Monday
night bringing of the battle at Cerravo
between the forces of Carvaa and those of Gen. Jau-
regu 1t appears that Gen. Jauregui had 220 and
two pieces of artillery while the force under Carvajal
amounted to $50 men without Carvaal charged
the guns of Jauregu and succeeded in driving him from
his position, capturing much of the ammunition, and
many horses saddles wagons and small arms belonging
to Jauregui's camp but from some unaccounabe
failed in securing the large guns Jauregu took shelter
in large stone house the edge of the with his
There he held them bay for two days. using
small stones instead of shot, with his large guns At this
juncture Carvaja received information the APP
proach of large detachment of Gen. Uragas force and
he at broke up and commenced preciptate
in their stampede but the of them with their leader
reached Guerrero and Immediately crossed the Rio
Grande, thus putting that river bewxt them and harm
They thus driven out of Mexican territory and have
found a refuge American soil
A accounts agree that the late battle at Cerralvo
a very one that Gen. Jaureguis men fought
with much determination and valor could be expect
ed from any people fighting for their homes and their
countrys honor The little band under Carvaal charged
the shoted Of their opponents with the bravery
perseverance Characteristic of veterans and in good
cause would have deserved it likely would have
secured, success But their victory will prove as dis
astrous defeat could possibly be.
I've believe this abortiye and l-advised attempt at
revolution to be wengh ended Unless large reinforce
ments speedily received from Texas nothing help
them. The last accounts from Capt. Ford
couraging to the hopes of the invading forces was
about leaving San Antonio for Austin try what might
be effected in that quarter. We happy in receiving
the that Capt Lewis will have nothing to do
with the affair. As nothing desirable to be
effected in SO hopeless struggle, sincerely it
/ will proceed further"
