the Oldest soldier in Europe. He was created
40 officer of the Legion Of Honor by the first
Napoleon for service in the Imperial war and
for terrifying the city of Lyons. Both soldiers
derived great pleasure in the interview. Gen
eral Dufour asked General Sherman if he came
on account of the arbitration, and the latter
answered DO, he would leave that to the
lawyers. The difference between the two coun-
tries was not in his province. General Dufour
then said if it were to be settled, that England
must pay and that she probably knows it.

False RumOrs Of the Defeat of the
RevOlutiOnists-Tr Marching
on Monterey, &c.
NEW YORK, June 27.-A Matamoras special
of the 26th inst, says The situation is little
changed since the Monterey fight. The authori-
ties circulate reports Of the arrival of large
force at Satillo under Rocha, and the defeat
of the revolutionists everywhere, but they are
untrue and designed to satisfy the people and
raise money. Following the Monterey fight
Trcvino marched on Saltillo with 200 men
but did not make an attack. He returned to
Monterey for the purpose Of recognizing his
forces, many of whom returned to their homes
after the fight.
A correspondent at Camargo, June oath,
writes :-"Garcia Ayala, the Juarlst Governor
of Neuvo Leon, is at Laredo raising and arm
ing men. Several villages in Neuvo Leon have
pronounced against Trevino, and are contribnt-
ing to Ayala's forces Cevallos remains at Ca
MARCO awaiting four hundred men recently ar
rived from Vera Cruz, and promises to move
toward Monterey tomorrow, but it is doubtful,
as Oueroga is six leagues from Mier with
large body of cavalry. The revouti0nists report
that Trevino is moving two columns on different
roads towards Matamoras. If this be true Ce-
valos will move hither Immediately, is ex-
pected that the telegraph lines will be repaired
soon -
