There are two results to arise from the difference in tbe Cabinet, Kirher M, Thiers and ifio war party retire to make way for a pacific Ministry, or the anti-war section withdraw to give place Ao a mote warlike cabinet. The grand difficulty of Louis Philippe, is to find men who will boliold enough at the present crisis to accept office. This Ministry would have to allay the present excitement; it would have to combat '31, Thiers, as the leader of what would be designated the parly ot Nationality. U.

“A gentleman vr lio left the camp of the Federalists on the Nueces a tew days since, has informed us that the Federal army under Canales recently overtook the rear guard of Arista, near Camargo, and, after a slight skirmish, (ielealei it without any loss on their part, capturing 300 men and all their baggage. A large number of good muskets and several pieces of artillery were also captured. Among tho prisoners was an officer named Urrea, who had aided in the massacre of Zapata, in consequence of which he was executed. Gen. Canales had succeeded in culling off Aris'.a from the road to'dRatamorav acd he was therefore retreating in great precipitation towards Monterey; Uio forces under Canales were within ono day’s march of him, and were making every exertion to intercept him on his route to Monterey. The garrison at Malamoras consisted of only 100 men, and as a detachment was sent to capture the place, it has probably fallen into the hands of the Federalists.” Gen. Sam.
