The Tribune has letter from Mstamo-
ras, dsted the sIst, which says: -
The success met with by The force under
General EscAfsdo has encouraged the Lab.
erai party to fresh efforts. ,CamargO, has
now good force Of ApOut 600 man, among
them twenty-five or thirty officers who
have served in the United States or late
Confederate States armies A second body
OF some 500 men i now at Mier, twenty
one miles from Csmargo, and ct othez
points south of the placs are bodies of 200
and 300, In ali there is force of $500
ready for the next blow to be struck at the
enemy. The next move to be made viii
be down the Bio Grands to attack tkis
place. Forit will be made before informa-
ton can reach the enemy, By 8 dsshiDg at

Another letter to the Tribune dssed
September 7th, says the entire force Of
Liberals lying about San juan River has
been put in motion, bnt their plans are not
known yet. They may be 70 attack this
place st once, or to operate in the state of
Feweon, which lies to the west of this
place. tf-s4 a rs
COrtinas, after . good deal of insubor-
dination, has been forced into the traces
and is now scting with the intention to do
some deed OF note. To day he crossed from
the left bank of the Rio Grands with, his
command, estimated at from 400 to 500
men, and three nfls guns--shoss delivered
70 him some time ego, by order of Gen.
Steele. l think an attack will be made
upon this place within three days, and
that if any other movement be made it
will be teint only. In fact, the
Liberals must have this place. Its money
could refill the army chest and would be
q port of entry, from which small incon.
could be derived from duties. As long asthe
French force in the country is not greater,
q sort of a war can be kept up by the, LIB.
ersl government, for the extent of territory
is SO vast that the enemy can only hold i'm.
portant points, and can not spare men to
act in the held. The enemy then can put
down war, but the want of means can
keep them together for 3 short time. but
not lorg time. It is likely that the Lib.
erals can hold cut with some aid, for
twelve to eighteen monts longer. AS long
as the seal of government can be held, the
government will exist, and there will be
just cause TO continue the war, it Il
thought for some time to come
safe, until the French can extend their
posts and send column of 5000 or 5000
good troops against 1t, which they cannot
do until they are reinforced from home.
Commnnieafinn with tha saat of zovo-n
mont is by no means easy and can only be |
had at long intervals. 1t is some time
since anything has been, heard from
ChihuahuA and the General in command.
Officers in this and contiguous States are in
ignorance of what is going on at the Cspi-
tai. If it Is safe, it Is also necessarily
cut off by the nature of the country and the
distance from communication with the
force which Minister General Negrite ought
TO direct, which are therefore left 10 them
selves to act as they zee at. The situation
Of the Liberal party is certainly very crit
ical, and l can't help thinking that 10000
fresh troops would destroy the last GEM
blsnce of government. This place is in
q state OF some suspense at the coming at
tack, but the garrison under Mejia Is on a
qui ViVe.
