supposed to be firmly attached to Maximllian

Liberal forces.
The Austrian band, which had been in the
habit of playing imperial airs in the Plaza, was
stoned by the pOpulace, and could appear no
longer without the protection Of military
guard.

Affairs ut MatamOras.
MATAMoRAs, October 26.--It is not thought
here that Mpjia will attempt to occupy this bor
der, as it could only be done at a large expense
OF blood and treasure, ard with no correspond
ing advantage. Canales Is still in posse ssion OF
the town. Tapia is about three leagues out with
1900 men. Negotiations for the surrender OF the
city have been in progress for the past few days.
They closed yesterday without any practical
result.
Colonel Fennija, Of Ortega's staff, arrived in
Brownsville yesterday. He has been closeted
with prominent Mexicans who are friends Of
canass and Hf Hexpressed his determ
nation to hold the city at all hazards against
Tapia and Cortinas. This is probably the re-
suit of the arrival OF Colonel Fennija, and it is
generally believed here that he will shortly
pronounce in favor of Ortega. The forces of
Tapia and COrtinas will be combined for an
attack, which will be delayed some days on
account OF the bad condition OF the roads.
Advices from Monterey state the important
fact that General Torvino was at I'll Cedral, in
the State of San Luis Porosi, on the 18th instant
and On that day issued a proclamation to the
people of that State Ii is thought that he will
be able to oppose any force which Mejia can
bring against him.
General Tapia has issued a proclamation to
the people OF Tamaulipas, in which ne an
nOunces himself as the representative of the
supreme Government, and intimates his inten-
'on Of attacking Maamoras at an early day.
From a private letter dated October 10, l
lean that Douay is in Matheula, with fifteen
hundred men. He has offered for sale his car
riage and horses, and is packing up for jour
ney to the city of Mexico. 1t is said the retreat
from that place will commence ON the 18th.
All the liberal forces have lett Saltiilo. Under
Ferrind and NAVARRO new campaign has been
inaugurated.
An intercepted despatch from San Luis Potosi
to Matheula showed that Jeaningros wrote on
the 18th of September that he was marching on
Queretaro, leaving Douay at San Luis, and that
Douay started TO join him.
