THE REVOLUTION IN NORTHERN MEXICO.
CoRpUs CHRISTI, July 2, 1855.


once upon Matan,oro., and drive Woll out.
At previous accounts, Camargo was garrisoned
BY six hundred men, and it is probable theirs
will be desperate conflict before it can be taken
The States Of Tamau lip as, Coahuila and New
Leon are united in this matter, and the only
points now remaining in the hands of the Gov.
ernment ure Camargo, Maiamoros and Tampico.
Colonel Cruz, who was in command at Saltil|
10, surrendered the place without a struggle,
and retired with all his forces in The direction Of
San Luis Potosi. With scarcely single excep-
tion all of the principal men in the thres States
above named, have taken part in the revolution,
and no one here entertains any doubt Of its sue
cess. The combined forces were to. have con-
centrated' at Aqua Lejas, pass on the road to
Monterey at the borders OF Tamaulpas and New,
Leon presume they must have done so, as
the letters from Rio Grande City, speak of the
united forces under the command Of Cavajal.
So far the latter is the only leader Of note have
heard mentioned in connection with the revnlu-
tionary forces. Jauregui is in Monterey, be.
licve, and will probably remain there to watch
for The approach of Government troops from tho
interior
A large amount of goods is now concentrated
at Brownsville waiting the result of the move-
ment on the olher-Side. Should Cnmargo soon
fall, it is probable these goods will be sent up
the river, and passed into Mexico through the
custom house at that place. Gov. Garza, Of
Tamaulipas, is now near Camargo, and will
doubtless resume the position from which he IVES
driven BY Santa Anna There is to be n fair at
Monterey sometime this or next month, and
these goods will doubtless he distributed thence
throughout the interior. This will be An effec-
tual blocker upon the receipt Of duties at Maia-
moros for the present. and as Woll depends en-
tireIy upon them for The payment and subsistence
of his troops, he will be starved out, unless he
procures supplies by sea, which the reyolutionists
will doubtless endeayor 10 prevent.
shall be upon the ground in a few days, and
! will then write you more in extenso. e. C.
P.S-Since writing the above, I'havc seen /,
letter from Brownsville, which states that Woll
is busiy engaged in Purifying Matamoras and
Rcynosa, aud has determined upon maintaining !
these positions until he eau obtain reinforcementk
from Vcra Cruz, which he was daily expecting
The writer also says that the chiefs Of the revo.
u,ionists were qsarrelling among themselves,
The principal of these appears 10 be Juan Suaza,
of Lalnpazas, noled guerrilla lender during tho
last war with the United States and famous
among his countrymcn for his intrepidity in fight
ing Indiuns. The most wonderful tales are told
of his courage, and lie seems to be man around
whom his countrymen would rally 10 an emer-
gency like the present.
The rcyolutioniss, it is said, have no artillery,
and unless they take some at Camargo twill
be natter of great doubt whether they can
effect anything against either Reynosa or Mata-
moras. They have, or will have, plenty Of mo-,
ney, however and artillery can easily be procured
A company Of Mounted Rifles, commanded by
Capt Elliott, and one Of the 9Th Infantry arrived
Yesterday from Fort Duncan near Laredo, and
they report that Dr.. Muowney, the American
Consul at Monterey, Ind left that pace with his
family, and WAS daily expected at Laredo. c. c..
THE RESULT OF THE WAR-Au intelligent
correspondent of the National lntelligencer,
writing from Paris, presents some singular and
yet not improbable views rs to what will be the
result of the European war;
TO show how great are the ereriions OF Rus
sia, il il now said that they have by the most in
credible exer,ions so far advanced with u Rail
road from Moscow to Perokop that it will be
completed and in full operation in the autumn.
This will enable them TO pour into the Crimaa
soldiers and supplies without limit. The French

KaIniesch and will render il the strongest for
tress in Europe, and sooner or later they will
will probably retire toit. They are also strong
ly terrifying Varna, and everything indicates
that they do not intend to quit Constantinople,
where they are constructing buildings on the
most extensive scale and of very massive na-
,ure, which will require years 10 complete.
These structures are intended for defence and
protection IN well as for accommodation for troops
and material The French will take The lions
share by holding the European coast of Turkey,

The alliance with France, az it has not only es-
tranged her from the other great European
Powers, but hus and will injure her greatly in
other ways. p. -.
All agree that the Turks are fully convinced
that they never asain will be masters of Stam-

decidedly would prefer The Russians rs rulers.
and those returned from thence say they shall

the Turks should he on the side Of Russia and
the allies forced 10 entrench themselves The
stronghold of the latter will be at Constantine

of manufacturing at the fall is what has caused
the great advance.
