Mexicans Closing the Rio Grande, "a la
Boutwell,.

MATAMoRAs, March 9.-Gen. Palacio's
proclamation placing Matamoras under
military law assumes the right to REQUIRE
all vessels on the Rio Grand TO obtain spe-
cial permit from him before approaching
within twelve miles of the city above CT
below, as a precautlon against the revolu-
tionists using the river as a means to attack
the city.
This order has created considerable OPP
position on the American side, as it is de-
MED that the Mexican officials can exercise
such supervision of the river under any
circumstances. While the right of police
visit may be admitted, permit cannot be
exacted from a vessel cOasting between
American ports, ascending or descending
the Rio Grande, and should steamers be
stopped, it will probably lead to resistance
on the part of steamboat men.
Gems. Trevino and OuriOgas' forces are
still advancing towards Matamoras, and
will probably commence the siege in one or
two days.

as Gen. Allatorre was recalled from there
with government troops to suppress another
revolt in the State Oaxaca; and that the in
surgent forces still occupy important posi-
tons in all the interior States and even
menace the capital itself.
