pryoLUTIox IN NORTHERN MEXICO.

From Our Own Correspondents
MFR, Mexico, Tuesday, July 3, 1855.
The progress Of events in Revolution, as 10
everything else In this country is slow. Al
though il is nearly two months since the fret
blow was struck in the capture of Monterey 1t
has not, up to this time, been folio wed by any
other important Demonstration, unless indeed
marching in triumph with flying colors sad bat-
ant music amid the shouts Of the population into
towns like this from which the mochOs Govern
ment trOops) had previously fled in dismAy, be
considered important.
But a change in affairs must speedily TAKE
place. The troops Of Vidaurri are within days
march Of this place, and he himself will reach
here tomorrow. Below this place they Will be
Joined bv the forces Of Csi avajal, and Garcia
Revolutionary Governor of TaumaliPas. Those
sf the latter are at present stationed here.
Gen. Caravsjal made flying visit to this place
on Sunday last and was warmly received by tue
officers who crowded eagerly to pay their re-
spects to the rstipguished chief lie ia slight
built man. rather under the middle hight, with
an open and cheerful countenancei high and
handsome forehead and gray eyes beaming with
intelligence and good humOr constitute features
seldom found among Mexicsns, and at once In
yjte confidence and win respect 1t is fact
that all the ealumnits that have been circulated
in regard to him have been caused by bis attach
mept TO Americans and American ideas and in-
stitutions and his willingness to accept their
services sgeiDst the forces Of his Serene High-
ness. This is treason in Mexican.
The ultimate design of the leaders of the
present movement is nothing more nor less than
the establis hment Of a new Republic composed
Of the three States Of Tsumalipas, NuevO Leon
and Cohahuila-at least this the intention
at first and is 80 still most likely, although 1t
msy be good policy to give out that they are
only to be banded emporarily-until the success
of the Revolution is secured beyond the posi-
biity of mischsnce
Meantime Gen Vol, who has called in all
the frontier troops TO MatamOros to make lass
stand there, has changed his mind and has sent
the main body back to Reynoss where it is now
anticipated the final struggle for the mastery OF
this frontier will take place-Only two or three
hundred being left to defend MatamDrOs This
is the latest rumor at least. But whether the
fight is to be at ReyDosa or Matamoros few
days will show. When united the Revolution
AIRY force will amount to at least two thousand
men with eight pieces of artillery, which Vi
daurri has brought from Monterey.
Vol is determined to sell his position
dearly as possible if he must reinqush
it. But with that prudence which Character
izes all good Generals particularly Mexicans),
il is said that be hd had all his personal effects
removed TO Brownsville in case 10 should be
necessary to "moye" hastily from Matamoros.
1t is said, too, that the ownership of some of his
baggage would probably be contested by the
Government under more auspiciOus crcum
stances; but this may be slander-QaieR SdJe?
The three prominent leaders of the present
revolution are men CT superior talents and at
taibments, and well qualified to draw from il
the best possible results for their country. But
they lsck material Of the proper mold. There
is no sympathetic intelligence among the masses
to respond to their aspirations or second their
efforts for the elevation of their country.
1t is contemplated to establish Custom
House at this point ard at Camargo also; but
the great object is to secure the port of Mata-
moros and open it for the reception of goods at
greatly reduced rates of duty. Once in pos
session Of the ports, the success of the Rev
olstion is established, as the duties on goods
will supply the :" snews of war in abundance.
Should any reliable intelligence reach here of
the result of the expected ngbt, you will be I'M
mtdiately advised thereof by me.
