Santa Anna.-MiLtaIy Movcmsnts- Carra1oi, &c.
Mexico is again under the absolute control Of
Santa Anna. Gen. Vol is in command ct Mata-
moras, and has one thousand regular troops. COL
Cruz is in command at Camargo, with elk hundred
men and six pieces of artillery. Gen Ampudia is
at Monterey, with four hundred men in the famous
"Black fort,' and three hundred dragons are at
kier. Governor Juan de Ia Cara y Flores, who
was in command Of the revolutiopists at Victoria,
forced to evscuate that city on account OF the
failure of his ammunition. He conducted hand
some retreat to Guerrero where he crossed the river
and 10 now in Brownsville with his staff Col. Ca
pistran is also in Brownsville.
Gen. Carvajal is on his plantation, about $50
miles above Brownsville, on the Rio Grande He

The soldiers of Cara and Capistran are of
the best families in Mexico. They have fought
handsomely ana with some success: but having no
gunpOwder, and no artillery, they have been forced
70 fly TO this country from their mercileas country
men, the bl0odhounds Of the tyrant Santa Anna.
General Vol has conscated all their property and
divided the flo ks and herds of Colonel Capistran
among the soldiers. Several hundred Of his horses
and mules have been seized for the government use.
His houses have been turned into quarters and his
sick family turned cut Of doors. General Vol has
executed sixteen soldiers, by shooting within three
weeks As we passed down the river day before
yesterday, saw the whole garrison turned out
upon the bank Of the river at sunrise. poor SOL
der, sitting upon his coffin, was being confessed by
the priest; his head leaned heavily against huge
wooden cross. Six soldiers, evidently exulting 10
the deed, presented their guns to within three feet
Of his head, and shot him dead. A lively air was
then struck up, and the gallant (God save the mar)
soldiers were marched back to their breakfast.
