NEW ORLEANS PICAYUSE or JUNE 5.


We understand that the demonstration Of Gen. TAr
will be upon the city OF Monterey This place is about
ninety leagues from Matamoras, and is approached by diff
cult road running through arid and waeIed country
the principal city of the province Of New Leon, and
commands the entrance the table lands, the interior OF
Mexico, through the passes Of the Sierra Madre.


To make the operations of the army upon Monterey
secure absolutely certain, General Taylor designs
cupyng the Of Camago about $50 miles by water above
Matamoros To do this securely is necessary for him to
have transports of daught suitable 10 the navigation Of the
Rio Grande Camargo will be the basis his operations up
on Monterey, and this point be first made the depot of
supplies and entrcnchcd in style capable of sustaining
siege.


II was the design Of General Taylor learn be
convey his Camargo has compelled him delay
further progress the enemys country I'LL this deficiency is
removed Camargo is situated upon the Rio Grande, and
presents admirable foundation for display upon the nte
rior and from Camargo Monterey is about forty leagues
or 100 miles The country lying between that town and
Monterey fertile than that between Matamoras and
Monceyconsequenty is altogether better for the army
proceed from Camago upon Monterey than from Matamoras


With view expedting the march of the army, Capt
Sanders who has distinguished himself in the admirable de-
fences he has about Point Isabel has been dis
patched to this city to procure the necessary transports lie
is now in the city Of New Orleans, but will proceed up the
river Immediately supply the deficiency in transports which
his purchases here may leave From the mouth of the Rio
Grande to Maamoras vessels drawing four feet water


without obstruction above that point up to Camargo, there
are not more than three feet many places Steamers
Of proper draugh scarcely be got in sufficient mum
bers here the purposes OF an invading army and
therefore Capt. Sanders will go West to find them.


Before reaching Camargo the army will have to take the
town Of Reynosa which is between Maamoras and Cama
CO. 1t expected, however, that any defence will be
made of such villages


Gen Taylor designs now to be at Monterey soon July
as possible. AT that place. it believed, the Mexcans will
mako stubborn stand if all during the IL the troops
under Gen Taylor occupy Monterey, the whole OF Mexico
this side the Sierra Made will be in the possession OF the
United States including the mining districts OF New Leon,
New Mexico Santa Fc, chihuahua, &c This calculation
based somewhat upon the idea that the United States viii
order an expedition from the Missouri river upon the northern
provinces II this be done, the whole of north Mexico will
be in our possession Such disposition of the forces Of the
United States would end the But, If II did not
our army would hold the key the whole OF south Mexico
and the gates Of the capital would, speaking in military
sense, be in the possession Of Gen. Taylor
