The New Orleans Picayune has accounts tron
townsville, opposite Matamoras, to.the Esd ult.
The Flag ofthe 18th, afer chroniclins the de.
psrture from New Orleans of Gen. Vol, the late
corumunder of aiatamoras, says:
ssThe sudden departure of Gen. Vol threw
the garrison at MatamoTas into confusion, which
remains worse confounded' up to the present
time. Command OF the troops has fallen upon
Col. Castro, as senior officer, who, we learn, is
in favor of pTonOuncing 'or the plan Of AYuthla,
which, we believe, is the plan of Alvertz, aud
provides for the retention Of the army. To this
latter clause, however, the Vldaur plan objects,
aud insists that SoIdiery Of the old army shall sur
render Internationally. Some of the garrison at
Manmorss, Who we nre told are headed by one
Col. SaveIiego, are for the plan Of Fidaurlj and
thus the bTuil continues in the city, while con-
siderable force Of Sifauti'5 army, under Gauia-
lUpe Garcia, are meuscIng the city from without.
s'Che inSurgent force is variouSly numbered at
from six 10 twelve hundred men. Correspondence
has been going on between the beSieged und be-
SiegerS. No arrangement has yet been made we
leaTn-the insurgents demanding an nncondition-
al surrender, and the besieged conending for EN-
ployment. VidauTi. however, is said 10 be making
rapid marches for the scene OF contention, and his
arrival will doubtless force cspitulation on his
own terms.
"The revolution now seems to be progressing
under two separate plans of aCtionS--that of AL
yarez first started in the south, anL that Of Vidau
started within the last few months at Monterey, in
the State Nuevo Leon. Gen. Vidauri has thus far
evinced much tetermInat ton, aud, jud.ing from
assurances made us by those III the councils Of
the General. we think that it merits She favorable
consideration of the Southern States. particularly

TIE flag of the 22d says the revolution on the
other side of the river still gains ground, and
adds:
Intelligence has been received in Matanorns
to the effect that San Luis PotOSi had been caP'u
red BY insurgent fnrce, Gen. Gu:tian killed, the
army dispersed, aud the city made TO change lis
plan or prOnueiamisntO from that of Ayutla to thel
Of Monterey. TampicO, it is said, has also pro-
nounced for Vidauri aud his plan; Gen. Casanova
the commanding general, has been driven from the
place, aud civil for militaryruIe substituted.
''Matamoras. however, is still in the hands Of
the Regular troops, under command of Coils. Ba-
save and Castro. The latter of these officers is
sued bulletin on Saturday last, stating in sub
stance that orders had been received from the ex-
listing Government directing the cessation OF hos
tilies until further orders. With this view he
had invited an nrmistice with the insurgents who,
under Coils. CapiStra and Garcia, have had him
environed.
'The insurgents, we learn, demand the surren-
der Of the city. They willing the troops shall
lenve, but all the arms and munitions of war they
demand shall be handed over To this the army
objects, and demands the right 10 their arms a I'd
munitions, with certain amount Of money. Mel
Their party seems to have their wishes yet. The
insurgents have fallen back little distance from
the town, but still have il beSeiged and await the
arrival Of Teinforceme nts and artillery, while the
citizens are focking to this side with their prop
erty, fearing q SACK
