THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO.

THE REVOLUTION IN MExIco.
By the arrival of the steamship Maui
titus, from Brazos Santiago, we have re-
ceived the Brownsville Flag. of the 10th
inst, from which we gather the following
intelligence.
As 10 the progress of the revolution in
Northern Mexico, the flag says.
Though no actual fighting has yet oc-
cured between the insurgent and the Gov
eminent troops on this frontier. the two
parties are assuming position which will
render such u result inevitable ere the
lapse of many days. By the arrival from
Monterey of gentleman of undoubted YER
acity, we learn that the insurgents, under
the leadership Of the intrepid Nidauri. are
marching upon Matamoras in strength,
numbering some twenty-five hundred men,
composed of artillery, cavalry and infantry
He represents them as we'll armed and
equipped-provided with every thing re-
quisite for regular campaign. The Sc
cond in command is Carvajal, whose adj
vanced guard he passed at Las Caevas,
between Camargo and Leynoso. The lat
ter town is the first one on the river above
Matamoras, some sixty miles distant.
There, we presume, the first battle will be
fought, as the Government troops are said
to have fallen back from Camargo upon
Reynoso, on account Of its strong natural
position, which they are still further
strengthening by Notifications. In Reyno-
so there are said to be some six hundred
regular troops, who are doubtless at this
hour menaced by Carvajal's command OF
thousand men.
To reinforce the garrison at Beynoso,
Gen. Woll has left Matamoros at the head
of something near 800 men-his whole
available force-leaving in Matamoros
barely men sufficient for garrison duty !:
while Vidauri is marching with more
than thrice the number of liberators from
Monterey 10 the aid of Carvalal. The
Government troops are represented as dis.
contented and reluctant-driven forward
by the bayone,-while the insurgents are
fired with the greatest enthusiasm.
Thus matters stand at the time of our
going to press. Doubtless before our
next issue bloody and decisive battle
will have taken place. II the insurgents
prove victorious, then existing Govern
