We understand that the next demonstra.
of Gen. Taylor will be upon the city of
Monterey. This city is about 90 leagues
from Matamoras, and is approached by a
difficult road running through an arid i'll
watercd country. II is the principal city
ofthe province Of New Leon, and COM
mands the entrance of the table lands. or
the interior of Mexico, through the pass
es of the Sierra Madre.


To make the operations ofthe army I'D.
on Monterey more secure, ;f not absolute
ly certain, Gen. Taylor designs occupying
the town of camargo, about $50 miles, by
water, above Matamoras. To do this
securely. it is necessary for him TO have
transports of draft suitable to the Rio
Grande. Camargo will be the basis of
his operations upon Monterey, and this
place must be first made the depot of sup
plies, and cntrenched in style capable
OF sustaining a siege. ISIS


1t was the design of General Taylor,
as we learn, 10 be at Monterey by the
tirst of July; but the want of transports TO
convey his stores to Camargo, has com.
Pelled him to delay further progress in the
enemy's country till this deficiency is re-.
moved. Camargo is situated upon the
Rio Grande, and presents an admirable
foundation for display upon the interior,
and from Camargo to Monterey is about
4Oleagues, or 120 miles. The country
lying between the town and Monterey is
more fertile than that between Matamoros
and Monterey-consequently it is alto.
gether better for the army to proceed from
Canaigo upon Monterey than from Mat.
anoras. aaa5


With view to expediting the march
of the army, Capt. Saunders, who has
distinguished himself in the admirable de.
fences he has constructed about Point
Isabel, has been despatched tothis cityto
procure the necessary transports.


He is now in the city of New Orleans.
Dut VIII proceed up the river Immediately
to supply the deficiency in transports.
From the mouth of the Rio Grande to
Matamoras vessels drawing four feet wat.
er can run without obstruction; above that
point up to Camargo, there are not more
Inan three feet water in many places.
Steamers Of the proper draft can scarcely
De got IN sufficient numbers here to an.
swer the purposes of an invading army.
and therefore Capt. Saunders will 90
west to find them.


Before reaching Camargo, the army
viii have to take the town of Reynosa
which is between Matamoras and Ca.
margo. It's not expected, however, that
