From the New Orleans Delta, Sept. Is.
b"F ouGht--Thc Government Troops Defeated.
The steamship Nautilus arrived yesterday from
pozos. and among her passengers is the renowned
P Dc" VOL, late Governor of Tamaupas who, for q
&C. &C. time has made himself so odious by his cruel
5E"n IN and about Matamoras.
We have received the Brownsville Flag of the Isl
&c, he number of that date gives the pronuncia-
nonto of Vidaur, and the correspondence between
S;r, and Gen. Gutian, of San Luis Poos.
+ seems that Vidauri has declared his, Gutian's
oIar. null and void, and requests him to lay down
rs arms and turn over ali public moneys 10 the
Droner authorities, and that he will send detach'
nt of his troops 10 attend 10 affairs, as he wishes to
hove unity of action among the different States,
tberwise he will give him no aid.
The following item comes on slip from the Flag
,Ene and is dated the 4th inst:
The latest news we have of the revolution on the
rontier, is that on the 3Oth u. battle was fought
Lot,reen the Federals, commanded by Guadalupe
Corcia and Miguel Tiierina, and detachment com.
oooe] of one hundred and forty Government troops
Tnder the command of Pedro Quntero, who was NOR.
,,Ilv wounded, and has since died. His command
,os surrounded when they surrendered, having lost
some thirty or forty in killed and wounded the Fed
oIaIs had ten killed and seven wounded. TIE action
took Mace in the vicinity of Reynosa. Among the
r;so6prs taken we're several officers, who formerly
belonged 10 the Federals but had deserted from them
after they came in possession OF the necessary ntOr
which
we're Immediately tried spies and ordered to be
shot.
The Galveston News has the following:
Gen. Vol came passenger on the Nautilus, having
opiety evacuated his stronghold Matamoras. He
lid not bring Dona Lucinda with him, as the Browns
vile Flag advised
We presume some of the leading men of Matamo-
ras would pronounce Immediately after VOLTS de-
parture.
Capt Duncan, who is passenger by the Nautilus
informs US that Zaceteces had adopted Vdauri's plan
and that an officer whom he dispatched to Gen. Ga
ian, had received the acquescence of that General
and the arms and public moneys bad been duly turn
ed over.
Vidaurs plan differs from that of Alvarez, in pro.
Dosing liberal tariff and in placing the affairs of
government in the hands Of civilians.
It was stated that Vidauri had sent message to
VOL, informing him that, as ii was useless 10 pro-
Ong the contest after Santa Annals flight the revo-
utonists would show mercy to those of VOLTS
attachments who might afterwards fall into their
lands.
We learn that in the engagements referred to above
one hundred men were reported to have been shot by
the FeIeralists. They were part Of VOLTS forces
and had been sent by him 10 levy contributions on
little town not far frum Reynosa.
Three of the Mexican States, viz: Zdcatecas Goa
lula and Nuevo Leon, have pronounced for Vidau-
rs plan TamauIipas will follow and then it re-
mains TO be seen whether he or Alvarez will take the
lead in national affairs.
In speaking of the revolution and the present state
Of the country, the Brownsville Flag saws:
Rumor has it that Vidauri and Alvarez are wrang-
ling to see which of them shall be President, but it
seems strange that men OF such intelligence, energy
and capacity, as Alvarez and Vdauri have proved
themselves TO possess would hazard the nationality oil
heir common country and create as some say, rather
han ST. bmit, separate Republics
Gen. Woll caused two deserters from his army to
he shot short time before his Fl ght.
