New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1857-01-13
Later from Brownsville and Mexico.

BY the ARRIVAL yesterday OF the steamship Mexico,
and through the poteness of Mr.. L. Knepp we have
received the Brownsville Flag to the Sth and Mata
moros paper of the 5th inst
The editor of the Flag has had an interview with
Gen. Carvaal formerly the leader of the revolution
that frontier against Arsta The Flag says
Instead of enriching himself he embarked his whole
private fortune in the enterprise, which reduced him
from atuence to comparative poverty. We would be
grated to hear that the present government which
he is firm supporter had placed him in position to
recuperate his broken fortunes. The General has
been for the past few years quietly residing on his
farm in Hidago county, The recent fighting at Ca
margo brought him forth for few days, where he did
good service on the side of the Tamaupas forces.
From an article in the Flag upon Mexican affairs
we extract the following: '.
| We have been furnished by an obligin friend with
files Of the Sgo XIX to the 9TH inst, though we can
find nothing of part uar interest in them. The new
constitution still en ged the attention of Congress.
The Siglo of the 9Th contains synopsis of the debates
on that instrument by which we find they have arrived
at the ll2th article, from which we would infer that
they were near the end, so that may hope to sec
it published to the world soon.
1t seems from the Siglo of the Gth that the insur-
gents at Pueba have failed to comply with the arti-
cles of capltulation. That paper, under head of
:. Last Hour" says " We have just learned that the
insurgents having failed to comply with the terms OF
Capitulation, by not surrendering their at the
points indicated in the second article Of the treaty
the general-nchief has declared the same to be nul
and Of value ordering the disatected to surrender
their arms immediately and that those who fail t
comply with the order are judged as consprators ant
punished with all the rgor of the law
Gen. Uaga has addressed a letter to his Govern
ment, in which he says that he learns from the paper
he is in New 1Ork-that his country is menaCed by
the fleets of Spain and England, and he asks to be
allowed to rctnrn assume his rank in the army and
lend his services in defence of his country. The
Sigo speaks favorably Of Gen. Uraga, and compares
this patriotic request to the acts of others now pro
noting internal dscord, when the country is menaced
by foreign enemy.
In the Spanish department of the Flag of the sth
we see it stated tina. Gen. Vidauri had left Monterey
with force of 100 men, for the purpose of giving
battle to the insurgents in San Luis Potosi. His
friends expressed confidence in his success. In the
Matamoras Boietn we find published an order from
Vdaurri, under date of the 27th ult, calling upon
Garza commander Of the line of the Bravo, for troops
and artillery to aid in the movement against the San
Luis insurgents. Cara replies that he finds it impos
sible to comply, in consequence of decree issued
the 9th of December 1856, by the Governor of the
State of New Leon and Coahua, ordering the seizure
of all foreign importatons into that State via the
State of Tamaulipas. He beseeches Vidaurri to op
pose his influence to the Decree which he declares tc
be blow at the honor of Tanaulpas and its authori
ties. very bad feeling appears to prevail between
the States mentioned.
In virtue OF the powers vested IN him by the Su
preme Government Vidaurr had made requisitior
upon Monterey for money and arms, which not being
furnished, he levied forcibe contribution upon tn,
commercial house of Widow Tarnava Il Co., seiznl
moneys belonging to it while it was being conveye
through Nuevo Leon. Among other reasons conjec
ured for this act is statement that Vidaurri had il
tercepted offensive letters from said house to Co
Garza The circumstances, together with other
