LATER FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.
80. 49, N o. picnunne. Jrlu N.

From The ~ o. Picdvune July II.
By the arrival Of the steamship Nautilus from BraZ0s
Santiago we have received Tile Brownsville Flag of
the 10th inst, from which we gather the following In
tellgence:
AS to the progress of the revolution in Northern
Mexico, The Flag says:
Though no actual fighting has yet occurred between
the insurgents and the Government troops on this
frontier, the two parties are assuming positions whcn
will render such result inevitable the lapse of many
DAYS. BY the arrival from Monterey OF gentleman
of undou6ted veacity we learn that the insurgents
der the leadership of the intrepid Nidaur are march
ing upon Maamoros in strength, numbering some
twenty hundred men, composed of artillery, cav
airy and infantry. He represents them as well arbed
and equippedprovided with thing requisite for
n regular campaign. The second in command Is Car
vaa, whose advanced guard he passed at Las Cuevas,
between Camargo and Reynoso. The latter town is
the first the river above Matamoros sixty
miles distant. There, presume, the first battle will
be fought the Government troops said TO have
fallen back from Camargo upon Reynoso, on account
of Its strong natural position which they are still fur
ther STRENGTHENING by Notifications. In Reynoso there
said TO be some six hundred regular troops, who
doubtless at this hour menacedby Carvajars COM
mand Of a thousand men.
To reinforce the garrison at Reynoso, Gen. Vol has
left Matamoros at the head of some 800 men-his
whole available force-leaving in Matamoros barely
men sufficient for garrison duty; while Nidaun is
marching with than h'ce the nu nber OF Lber-
ators from Monterey TO the aid of Carvajal The Gov
eminent troops represented disconnected and re-
luctant-driveR forward by the bayonet-whe the
insw gents are fred with the greatest enthusiasm.
Thus meters stand at the time of our going 10 press
Doubtless before next issue bloody and decisive
battle will have taken place. If the insurgents prove
victorious, then the existing Government will have
but one other foOthold this frontier-MatamOrOs
will alone remain and that place will not be able TO
bold out many weeks. While the other hand,
should the Government win, the hunted Liberals need
expect no quarter from their Infatuated enemy I'm
fortunately the river that divides offers too
great nducement TO cross on neutral ground when
danger prts ses closely.
1t is evident, however, that never before had the
insurgents great promise of success More than
half the country is already in their hands. We
credby informed that the insurgents of this frontier
are in constant commute alton with those of the South
that post of couriers have been established from
Csmargo TO Acapulco, travelling the whole distance
over revoed territory
The United States District Court Brownsville adj
joun I'd on the sih inst. The Flag saws:
We learn that there bat little busiaess transact
cd, partly owing to the fact that the Court did not
commence It's session until than weeks after
the time It should have met in consequence of which
the parties unpIepared for trial. and partly from
the disposition of Judge Wsirous, who has been
confined 10 his bed the greater portion Of the time
since his arrival.
The grand Jury found three bills Of cndic'ment we
urderrtand; two for embezzlement sad one for SNUG
Cling.
The fihbusier cases all went of the docket. The
plea Of abatement to the record setting forth that the
minutes Of the Jerk did not show that the venire drawn
in 1853 under which the bills were found that the ju-
rors were good and lawful men of the District OF Texas
sustained by the court We do not know that This
h to be regretted settled conviction having lorg bad
possession of the public miud that convictions for yio-
lations OF the neutrality law could never be had IN
those cases on the Rio GraDde.
