The advices received by the southern mail Of last
evening" contained nothing new relative 10 the move
m,nts OF our soldiers on the Rio del Norte. Troops
however, continue TO move in that direction, and
there now probably fifteen hundred 10 two thou
sand men on their way toj join Ger. Taylor.


There Is deep interest manifest IN the public
miaj to earn from The OF opvrauons-a deeper
interest than IS ever been f--lndcatlve, in our
,nion Of th- increasing popular feeling throughout
the Uuion In the anticipated war in Texas This
has been produced by the recent accounts from
Mrxco, and Of the greater probability OF an open
rupture. According 10 the latest intelligence from
Vera C,uz, as published in the Onion, and in other
papers II appears that hr pr jet OF loan OF SIS 0OO-
900 had become a law, and that the Mexican troups
numbering from ten TO fifteen thousand men, nclud-
Ing uIne thousand cavalry, had received orders 10
march 10 the Texan frontier and t,ke their position
len leagues east, or on the Texan bank of the Rio
del Note. IL also appears that our troops II that
vicinity, IN all few ovepnhree thousand men, have
no guns, and that they mus TIL cannon are sent
70 lnem before they proper condition give
battle 10 any force oil consequence opposed 10 Them


This intel gence places the affairs the Rio del
Norte in very peculiar and perplexing position,
and the public not without its aoxleiy 10 the
result II Is officially announced that instructions
have been sent 10 General Taylor, 10 keep posses
sion OF the territory on the east bank, TO Inc very
line OF the Rio del Norte. To do this, he has 10
contend under adverse circumstances, against
Arista and Pdredes, two OF the ablest Mexican
Generals, and who are, undoubtedly, acquainted
with his situation. If take the battle OF San
Jacinto into consideration, there need be no fear
ofthe result Of battle; but il, by superior numbers,
including 5000 cavalry, our forces are driven back,
II will not probably, be without some horrible eX |
cesses in blood on the part OF the Mexlcans-the |
perpetration perhaps, Of another Alamo massacre.
Such an occurrence would send thrill of indgna-
men into Mexico-lnto the very Halls oft he Mon
tezumds-every man equal 10 Kentucky rlfiemam, |
and produce unity Of feeling and determination
from end of the country 10 the other. There
would, then, be no sectional question to divide ths
people all would act as one man


All this may take place; indeed, it may have al
ready occurred. The position and situation OF our
army the last accounts and the character OF the
Mexican people, seem 10 indicate that, unless we
victorious at first there will be massacre, or
an attempt al one. Plunder governs the Mexican
soldier, and no excess in blood would satiate him
Our next intelligence from the seat Of war may,
therefore, be OF very important character We
nave correspondents the spot and it is not at all
unlikely that the first information of battle will be
given IN the Herald.
