II appears that the revolutienists In
Northern Mexico are making gradual pro-
gress, having obtained possession already
of several important towns, and probably
Monterey. The Government troops, it
seems, are incapable of interposfng any eff.
fective check to the progress of the reyelu5
tionary forces, AT presents Santa Annals
power in Northern Mexico appears to be
reduced to almost nothing. But we must
refer our readers to the details of the news.
We take the following from the Flag ofthe

BY an arrival at Matamoros last evening,
we learn that the insurgents are. still ac-
tive. sThe day before yesterday a party of
them under Col. Gapistran, entered the
town. of San Fernando, ninety miles south
Of Matamoros, and rumor says made pris-
oners of the civil officers Of the place. This
town Of San r ernando had joined the revo-
ltationafy movement In pronouneing against
the present Government, but the near APP
preach of Government forces induced them
to- change. their ideas and swear fealty
anew TO the reign Of the tdespot. This the
insurgents were not disposed te allow, and
hence the visit of Col. Capistran. liiz. issIsia
i The insurgents seem to belas sanguine
as ever, though they have changed their,
plan of operations somewhat. The better
to maintain Themselves, it is said, they have
divided into several parties, and conmenc
ed "a system of guerilla warfare, one of
which it was that gained the victory spo-
ken of in another place. In this manner
they are confident of both maintaining them
selves and harassing their enemy for years

Col. Cruz who left Matamoros six or
eight days ago, with a. command Of three
hundred men, is said to have been quite
unsuccessful in his pursuit. The almost
incessant rains have so filled the country
with water that he has been forced to wade
his men and horses continually, and the con-
tinual surveillance of the enemy prevents
his, grazing his horses, so that the whole
command is represented as being In great
suffering from both hunger and heat -1'jt
Just as we are going to press, We have
received information from a reliable source,
that a party of the insurgents under the
command of Col. Capistran, have taken the l1'e
city of. Linares. We abstain from mem
tioning the place where they are to 60 next,
for fear of publishing part of their future
operations. 1850 III ;afi5 loii 5a-g55
:. 1T seems that a party of seventy Govern
ment troops under the command of an
officer named Paulin, was disarmed entire
" by the Democratic force, who, after con-
denning their chief to be shot, a punish
ment he deserved for more than one deed,
turned the soldiers free; since then, we are
informed, very few have joined the regular .lsa1
army.
I'VE have been reliably informed, that
the section of Government troops that took
the city of Victoria, when its heroic deien-
ders had to leave the place on account OF the
exhaustion of their ammunition, carried and
used heavy artillery, destroying part OF the
town without doing much harm to the IN
Esurgents. I'VE have also been assured that
said troops burned several houses before
and after their triumph, committing excesses

f. Thereyolutionists across the Rio Grande
tseem to be: gradually gaining ground. In
the early part of the week we learned of
their having possession of the towns of Lin
ares, Montelnorelos and Cadareyta, IN the
State Of Nuevo Leon, and yesterday and to-
| day the report is accredited that the capital
of Nueyo Leon, Monterey, had fallen into
the hands of the patriots by invitation of its
inha abitants IF this latter report be true,
/ and we believe it is, he revolutionists have
now possession of the strongest position
north of the Siere Madre mountains, with
arms and munitions In abundance, TrAs to
the fact of their being In Monterey,r how
ever. there may be some doubt. The last
reliable Information we have from them,
they were at Linares and Montemorelos.
Itwas known; however, that MontereyGwas
without soldiers, Gen. Anpsdia had seat
the force garrisoning that place, 300 men
under a Col. Oronoz, against the rebels at
Victoria, and the latter by strategern placed
his force In their rear and occupied the
towns son the road to Monterey ID 10 siaa1
