LATER FROM The RIO GRANDE.
FgM at Cerralro Retreat Of Carcgal


BY the arrival last evening Of the schooner
Corulas, Capt. Porter, from Brszos Santiago, we
have received the first number Of the Americ an
Flag, paper published at Brownsville, Texas
1t is dated December 10. This paperrevives the
name under which the Rio Bravo was formerly
published 1t speaks condennatory of the revo-
luton IN Northern Mexico, denounces those en-
gagedin it, and advises all Americans to abide by
the laws Of their country and take no part in The
movements Of Carvajal, for whom it predicts a
speedy overthrow. We extract the following
from the Flag:
The steamer Cansnche arrived here late on Mon
day night bringing accouhts Of The recen, battle al CO,
favo between The forces Of Carysal and those Of &c
neral JaureRpi. 1t appears that Gen. Jauregui had
10 men aud two pieces OF artillery, while the force
under Carvhlal amounted to 80 men, without cannon.
CarVaal charged the guns OF Janreg, mud succeeded
ia driving him from his position. capturing much of
the ammunition d many horaes, saddles, wagons
and small arms belonging TO lauregufs camp; but
from some u0accountabe cause. tailed in securing the
large guns Gen Jauregu took shelter in a large
stone house near the edge OF The town, with his
non. Thee he held them at bay for two days, using
small stones instead OF 5not, with his large guns. Al
this iuuclure Carvsa received Information Of the
approach oil large detachment OF Gen. Uraga's
force and he at once broke up and commenced pre-
cipate retreat We are informed that his forces be-
came much scattered in their stampede, but the most
OF them, with their leader reached Guerrero and i'm
mediately crossed the Rio Grande, thus putting
that river between them and harm. They are thus
driven out OF Mexican territory, and have found
tnQe America coil.
Ali accounts agrees that the late battle at Cerralvo
was a severe one; that Gen. Jaureguls men fought
with much determination and vaor could be ex-
pected from any people, lighting Tor their homes aud
their countrys honor. The little band under Carva.
al charged the shottsd guns Of their opponents with
the bravery and perseverance, characteristic oil vete-
ram; and in good cause would have deserved, it
would most likely have sscu red success.
But their victory Will prove as disastrous az defeat
could possibly be. We believe this aborve and i'll.
advised attempt at revolution well nigh ended In
-es large rein.orcements are speedily received from
Texas nothing can help them. The account, from
Capt Ford were not encouraging to the no pes OF the
invading forces; ke about leaving san Antonio for
Austin, to Try what nigh. be effected in thai quarter
We are happy in receiving the assurance that Cap.
Lewis will have nothing to do with the affair. Az
we can nothing desirable to he effected in so
hopeless struggle. we sincerely trust ii wi! proceed
no further.
The Flag announces the return Of Gen. Harvey to
Rlng2old Barracks, and says that he determined to
enforce the neutrality laws tar lies in his power

More Lucky Escapes Of the Christiana Prls.
ODCTH.

The Christiana rioters are the most fortunate
fellows in the world. Never was there such a
succession of accidents as they have had the
benefit Of The Baltimore Sun says:
DISCHARGE OF SOME OF THE CHRisTGANA
PRISONERS Friday, nine of the colored
prisoners, charged with treason against the Uni
ted States, alleged to have grown out of the
Christiana riot, were discharged from the custo-
dy Of the keeper OF the Lancaster county prison.
They had previously been delivered by the Uni
ted States district attorney to the authorities of
the above county, and, there being no evidence
against them, they were liberated from confine-
ment. One of them was Immediately taken into
custody again, on the charge Of being fugitive
slave from Virginia. The claimant and the Off
Ger took him to tavern at PenningtOnvle
where, during the night the alleged fugitive, al
though handcuffed, effected his escape.
Another statement is, that the alleged fugi-
tives name is Williams, and that on his arrest
the citizens became much excited against officer
Kline, who took him into custody. 1t is said
warrant was issued against Kline for perjury,
which so frightened him that he hurried off with
the claimant and the fugitive to oPenningtonville,
where they locked themselves up in a room.
Here they all fell asleep, except Williams, who
embraced the opportunity to make his escape.
