who was said to have shared in the com

who was charged with unusual cruelty to
one OF her own sex not long since, is also
on board, destined, we presume, to follow
the fortunes of the now exled General.
Maamoas still continued under the
command of Castro, as left by Gen. Woll,
but the rcvolutionists under Capistran and
Garcia, had approached to within a short
distance of the town. Castro had issued
a bulletin, stating that orders had been re-

cessation OF hostilities, and inviting an ar
mistico.
The revoIutionists, according to astate-
ment in the Flag, demanded surrender of
the city, together with all arms and muni-
tons of war. To this the army in Mata-
moras objects, and contend for the privi-
lege of retiring with arms and certain
amount of money. Thus matters stood,
and Garcia was awaiting the arrival of ar
tillery to enforce his dcmauds.
The Inhabitants Of llaamoras, fearing
the city would be sacked, were Aocking to
the Texas side of the Rio Grande.

moras was thrown into great confusion on

The Flag is severe upon the commander

he should reach the Texan bank. Vol,
however, did not avail himself of the pro-
lection prepared for him, but placed him.

one field piece protected him until he

The Flag has a report to the effect that
San Luis Potosi had been captured by the
evolutionary forces, Gen. Quitman kill,

Tampico is also said to have pronounced
