MATAMoRos LIKELY TO REBEL.

The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our cor
esp ondent in Matamoros, Mexico:-
MATAMoRos, Oct, 81,
Via CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Oct "a, 1871.
The Mexican rebels have cut the telegraph
and taken the mails from the stages. The
communication with the interior is closed.
The HERALD courier, who arrived at an
early hour yesterday, left Monterey on the
9th instant. He was detained at Cerralvo
during several days and then permitted to
proceed. The Monterey pronunciamiento is
by Trevino, the Governor of Nuevo Leon,
combined with Pedro Martinez, who
headed the revolution last year, the
imperialist, Guiroga, General Naranjo and
others. Trevino is fighter, but no states
man. He is very timid in State craft. He
left Monterey in the last days Of September
for suburb six miles distant. On the day
following that of his departure an official fol-
lowed him and announced the arrest Of all the
federal officials In Monterey and the smaller
cities of IT, State.
Trevino approved of the act, and issued
a pronuaaciamiento in favor of General Diaz,
declaring Juarez's election fraudulent and his
administration guilty of corruption and
tyranny, and that reforms were necessary.
He then returned to Montery, and imposed
forced loan of $50, 900 on the place.
The American Consul Ulrich was required
to pay $500. He refused, and hoisted his
flag and protested in the name Of the American
citizens.
Several Americans, including Mrs. Rankin,
the Missionary, publicly refused to join in the
protest.
General TrYvino gave Consul Ulrich ten
days to pay up or else be imprisoned.
The money was paid.
General Trevino then recruited 800 men and
moved toward Saltillo, which was defended
by Governor Cespada, Juarist.
General Martinez with 200 cavalry, moved
on Saltillo by q different route, and reached
the other side of the city. When near Buena
Vista he encountered 500 government infantry
moving to the assistance of Cespada.
Martinez cut off the wagons from the main
body and charged the government troops
twice.
The latter formed in hollow square and re-
pulsed him, killing many Of his men and
woundng him.
AT the moment of the latest accounts Gen.
eral Trevino was still before Saltillo awaiting
the arrival Of artillery.
Cespada being reinforced, was rapidly for
tifying his positions.
The revolutonists claim that ten States
have pronounced and will join them, but this
| is regarded as improbable.

prevent the revolutionists from penetrating to
| the interior. The Custom House at Guavos.
on the iona Libre line, has been removed.
Naranjo, with few hundred men, is near
the Tamaulipas boundary line and threatens
Mer and other places of Northern Tamaulpas.
Cortina's forces are supporting Juarez in
front of Naranjo.
The latter wrote to Cortina, urging him to
join the movement, but he refused.
Canales is at Victoria. He remains quiet,
waiting the issue of events.
On the 18th instant Major Zermeno, of the
Fourth cavalry, stationed here, raised a cry
for Diaz with twenty men, and rode into the
country. A squadron of Cortinas forces pur-
sued him, overlook bis force and routed it.
Zermeno is now In Brownsville laid up sick.
General Palacio, commanding here, has issued
, proclamation condemning Zermeno and say
ing that he is determined to support the ex-
listing government.

if the revolutionists are at all successful.
