IMPORTANT FROM MEXICo-Ra5d
on the Co5onjsts,--List Of tile Cup
tured-We take the following from
the Galveston Bulletin Of the 9TH:
We learn from some gentlemen
who arrived here yesterday on the
schooner Santa Helena, that on the
10th Of May, Gen, Figaro, a Liberal
officer Of the State Of Oxaaca, where
he had been very successful against
the French, advanced to the high
roads between Paso del Macho and
Cordoya. Tie crossed the Rio
BIanco, and established his head
quarters within two and a half
leagues of Cordova city.
The French pickets were drawn in,
and the ground occupied by those Of
Figaro. A Colonel in his service,
creole of New Orleans, while advanc-
ing captured twenty-five American
colonists, most of whom are still in
confinement
The Liberals claim that the Rio
BIanco is the boundary, and that
Macmillan could not grant lands
beyond it.
They have not molested the colo
nists at Carlotta. Some preparations
have been made for the defence of Cor
| dova, and the colonists were in gen
eral CONSERVATION. 1t is not proba-
Bile that they will be molested any
further, as a French force has been
sent down the valley in pursuit of
the Liberals.
