FROM BRASOS ST. IAGO.


The United States steamer Col. Harvey, Captain
Wood from the Brasos ST. Iago arrived last evening
having left on the 10th inst.


We learn from passenger that Gen. Ampudia
arrived at Matamoras on the llth instant, with
1000 troops, q 900 cavalry and 900 foot) which
would increase the Mexican force to about 5000
men, and had notified Gen. Taylor that he must
abandon the position he held, or it would be con-
sidered paramount to declaration of war.
On the 18th, Ampudia fortified himself opposite
to Gen. Taylor's camp. On the 18th, Ampudia
again corresponded with Gen. T., and informed him
that he would not act further until he received posi-
tive orders from his government. Gen. Taylor had
also raised Notifications the bend of the river so
as to command the position first taken by Ampudia
Gen. Taylor, hearing that there were two vessels
off the mouth of the Rio Grande from this place,
with provisions, arms, and ammunition for the Mex.
lean army at Matamoras, despatched Lieut.. Rem
shaw, of the U. s. brig Lawrence, with the revenue
cutter st. Ana to stop all communications with that
place.


The rumors afoat yesterday that the Mexican
ports had been bockaded, are not confirmed by the
arrival of the Col. Harney.
