The Bulletin, No. §, dated Monterrey,
Sept. 11, says, thai (t Frptn a very authentic
source, the genera Im-chief has been informed
that Gen'l Taylor, with the remainder of his
forces, which were at Pto(niar^o, have arrived

forces which the n/tw administration of this.
Republic hare sent to dripf, from the nation
the Anglo-American invaders, is mo'"'* thap,
eufficiept; and all the hostile, vie.ws of Taylor

Liberty.
