From the Montery Rauchero, July S.

Major Charles Russell arrived here yes
lerday morning, FIVE days from Mon'eTy
From him we learn that Gems. Bee and
Walker and Col. Luckett of the Conled-
crate States army, had reached that city
They have taken up lhe: residence there
with view to permaEece.
/ Capt Monot had received authority
from the Emperor to raise battalion OF
Texans for guerilla service. He was
progressing rapiIly in recruiting, and by
this time is probably ready for service.
The report of 10000 organized Mis-
sourIans and Texans being on the way to
Moniery is reasonably correct, but the
member is oVerslaled by aboG! 1000 or
5000. The actual number organized
and armed, awaiting employment, is be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men.
Gov. Mnrrah, OF Texas, has crossed
the Rio Grande at Camargo. The Cav.
was robbed at San Antonio of 1000.
His baggage was intercepted between
San Antonio and Austin. and stolen.
Gov. Allen, OF Louisiana, was hourly
expected at Mon,ery, when Maj, Russell
left.
Mai. Russell was several times inter
copied on bis way down from MOniery,
by the so.called Liberals; but after an
hour or two Of detention and search he,
with his party, was allowed to pass on.
We regret to announce tia! serious
trouble is brewing in the interior OF Mex
leo, and we shall await with no little snx-
iety TO hear from San Antonio and Texas.
Nothing will surprise Us coming from that
direction.
The Imperial forces then went in pur-
suit of Negrette followed him on the Chi
hauhau route to the desert. and there gave
up further pursuit. The other wing of
Negreie's army, under Escavido, were be-
ing closely followed on lhe ronle TO Pied
ras Negras. Beyond Ibis, nothing was
known OF The whereabouts of the Lib
erals.
BURNING OF THE Packet SHIP VIII
LIAM NELSON Great Loss Of Life
Adyices from Halifax and Liverpool cast
further light upon The disaster which &C.
cured 10 The ship Willism Nelson, from
Antwerp on June 4 FOR New York, with
German Cmigrants, burned off the banks
OF Newfoundland on June %. The cap
tain. officers and cabin passengers took 10
the boats, leaving the four hundred steer
age passengers 10 their fate-all Of whom,
1t is feared, persisted. The bark Meteor,
.oi ST. John, picked up forty cabin pas
sengeEs, many of them badly burned, and
the steamship Lafayette has arrived at the
French harbor of Brest with foriy-fve
persons more, picked up from three boats.
Three hundred and ninety.fve souls have
still TO be accounted for, and i, is feared
that they have miserably persisted. The
scenes on board the burning ship are de.
scubed as most heart rending.
