He communi- cates the detaiis of the operations of Colonel Stoneman, whom be bad despatched with a small force of men to pursue and capture Cortinas, who, it was alleged, was in the vielnity of the Rio Grande, He says:—From reports which Ihave received I consider that Cortinss has aban- comed the frontier and retired to the interior of Mexico. He \s said to be around the range of hills a! the foot of ibe Sterre Madre, about one bundred miles {rom the Reo Grande. His recent visit to the river valley wes not for the purpose of depred@tion, but to collect and carry away his property. I have been assured by the commander of the line of the Brasos, that orders have been sent for the arrest of the Alcalies at Lache for permitiiog him to visit those places, contrary to the orders of the government, and that Cortiaas will be purmued night and day wit) a sufllcient force until arrested. Although I bave no reason to expect his arrest, ‘still I do not believe that he will be able to renew hie ng- greesions on our frontier with apy prospect of succces ‘with our present force on the river.
