The following paragraph from the New
York Express Of Tuesday morning gives
US The first intimalion that the military for
ces Of the United State at Corpus Christi
have been ordered to move westward OF
that position; movement so little requir-
ed annder present circumstances that, we
should think. as il must have been direct.
ell before the recent pacific adyices IRON
Mexico, II will of course have been coun-
termanded in time TO prevent lis being car
ried into execution: Nat. Intel.


I'VE understand that the troops now
stationed a, Corpus Christi, under the
command of General Taylor. have been
ordered 10 march over the prairie country
towards the Rio Grande, for Brassos, ST.
Jago, and other places. While at Cor
pus Christi they have been obliged to
hire three schooners as store-ships for
their provisions, and have actually carted
old houses from Live Oak Point, a dis
tance of niuety miles, TO be used as CO.
vering for their stores and ammunition.
F. What they will have to cover and pro-
tect these things with when they leave
= the coast, without the schooners, proba-
bly, Mr.. Marcy can tell. Their course
is through prairie country, where there
is no timber 10 make planks, and no saw
mills if there were any timber. They
. will have streams to pass for which they
have no means provided. Their provi-
sions, as in the Florida war, will be de-
stroyed by the climate and the rains.
Their fire arms will be entirely ruined by
exposure to the saline atmosphere for
wan, of covers. In short. another sys-
TEN of pronigate expenditure. similar to
I. that of Florida, may be expected. A
: thousand dollars day has already been
paid for the use Of a steamboat, and we
no doubt shall soon hear. by the vouchers
on file, of hundred dollars cord being
paid for wood, and other things in pro-
portion, as in the case alluded to"
