information from the camp of the iLsursent army,
which states that there wa. another bloody engage

fo'css before the City Of Victoria. From what we
con learn II seems that Governor de Ia Cara was De
sieeed ia Victoria by regular force Of : 900 men.
The b,siegers charged the breastworks OF the be-
sieeed with thoughts Il al easy victory. The num-
btrs within The breasiwoTks were not exceeding ooo
or 200 The different charges we're made upon
the triple inirenchments. and each time was the
enemy repulsed with heavy lo-s. The insurgent
statement estimates the loss in killed and wounded,
the part Of the enemy, al 400. ard we are toto tna
the officers Of the regulars themselves Acknowledge
q loss Of loo men.
The fight, We are Informed c)ntnued for three
days when, the night Of the third day the insur-
gents having Exhausted their ammunition aud being
out Of provisions abandoned the city. This they
allowed 10 DO without opposition, taking with
them all their artillery two pieces OF heavy CAL
iber which could not be removed and which they
spiked. In these engagements some eight ten Off
GERS are said to have been killed or disabled and
among the killed the gallant LIEUT.. Col. Lamadrid Of
the regiment OF Tres Villas. The loss on the side Of
the patriots is said to have been very triaing This
whole affair occurred before the junction of the forces
AT Victoria with those which left this frontier e. their
assistance. The latter never reached their friends
united however and our informant assures Us that
they feel themselves competent 10 cope with any
quantity Of hireng BsOcAOs which their tyran mas
ters may send against them. 30 eiated are theyDy
their recent victories that they declare they care
nothing for all the regular soldiers on this side the
mountains and we are disposed ourselves, Judging
from the same causes. 10 opine that they are fully
equs every one Of them TO at least tfo OF TIER
entmhs.
On Monday morning last quite an excitement was
created in our city. growing out of the stopping OF
communication between this place and hGamorOs
On the morning spoken Of or people were surprised
10 find that the ferry-rope taken down through
the orders of the Mexican authorities and the news
circulated that all communication bet seen the two
nations was thus stopped AZ moments warning
The confusion lasted only for about two honfsi how
ever when the matter was restored 20 It's former po
ton through the Intervention Of the u ) Nice-Con
sui Capt I. j. Dirgan, as we understand.
On last Saturday evening three Of the political We
tins Of the present tyrannic Government oil Mexico
effected their escape from their guards ana nade good
Their way to this place. These gentlemen are Co.'s
Barhenera and Zetina, and a citizen, San Per. They
had been some time incarcerated in MatamOros and
were on their 10 the mouth OF the ver 10 be sent
to the fortress of San Juan de Clua The wrath OF
Gen VOL al the escape of his victims Ia said to have
been unbounded This was doubtless. which led 10
his order or the following Monday for the establish
ment of non communication.
We have lust learned that secret Oriecs given

they were have been executed on board OF the ve--
sel The destined victims, however, fortunately sue
ceeded in eyading the vigilance Ut their destined
butchers sprang through window at night, swan
the river and arrived in this city the next morning.
During the present week there has been an arrival
of between 300 or 400 troops at Matanoros lnmedl-
atey on their arrival large detachment Of the torn-
or garrison under General Cruz were dispatched to-
ward Victoria, after the insurgents. They LETT on
Monday last and rumor has it stthey have encoun-
tered every species OF annoyance since their depart

besieced by twice their numbero insurgents and an
other hiss it that they have commenced counter
march, and are upon returning ~ MatamOros. An
other It'll intimates that both Coils. Cruz and Qain
tana are about to side with the dsatfected.
Within the pact few days so many continuing
rumors have been in circulation in regard Ia affairs
in Mexico that unable to rely on any OF them.
In Matsnoros the system Of espionage is 80 complete
that the citizens hardly dare give repeat the nfor
nation they may have received, and the correspond
ence through the mail undergoes supervision before
II is allowed 10 reach its owner With this scrutiny
on the part of the officials il is next TO impossible 10
CLEAN any reliable information
OF the movements of the revolutionlsts in the adj
Joining State nothing is known positively. The last
that we have heard reliably from, they were united IN
the town of Jimenes and were preparing for move
ment upon some point though what one it was not
definitely stated. II is thought that Matamoros will
be the point of attack and recent crcu GER
tainly tend TO that belief. This morning rumors are
nhoat 10 the effect that Col Cruz had dispatched cOur
i.rs TO Gen VOL asking that troops be sent from
Matamoros TO intercept the insurgents who are en-
deayorng TO escape across the river at various points
above and below this city.
