The steamer Virginia, Capt. Srmith, ar * ~rived-last'evening from Tam pico, via Bra zos Santiago, havirng .left -the Brazos on the 27th uIt. The brig Empresarlo, Capt. Collins, which sailed from Tampico on. the 26th. also. arrived'fflast night. By these vessels we have rlceeved- letters from Mr. Lumsden, aut Tam pico, some of which we give below. They contain all thei intelli gence brought from Tampico. and cleai'np some points iAi the accounts )ireviously re ceivedl which a ppeared obscure. We have conversed with a genile'manr who itame p~ssenger in tihe Virginia from * liBrazos, and who is direct fromeNon terey. Hie hask'indly furnished us wvith the foillow ing information, which is highly idiiportant, if: there be no error in the accounts. ..They were fully-eigdiited ait the Brazos, and are Rtobert Mills, .who arrived last last evening from that )ort.' An express from Gen. Worth, at Saltil. lo, arrived at Monterey on Wednesday, thet 16th of December. [t brought the news that Gen. WVorth hadl 'learned through hits spies that Santa Anoa was within three days' match of 8altillo,.at the head of an army of twventy or thuirty thousand men. The expt ess bore a call upon Gen.'Taylor for rein p~rcements. Gep. Tavlor and his staff had'feft'Mopntsrey on thie 15th ult, the day before the ex'press arrived-for Victoria, to join his command, which ivas two day's march in advance of him. Gen. Butler, in command at Monterey, immediately sent off despatchme;.t, .Gen. Marshall, at Camargo, abd to Ge'n. Patter son, at Matamoras, to send forward with ~ont delaysil tihe troops' they could spare trom their commands. Gen. Patterson had left Malamoras only, the day before th.*news reachied that place. It wvas at once forwarded to him, and upon learning its purport our inform'ant states that .he immediately started on his return' with the view to- proceedi to Monterev. It was reprted at Tampico on the 25th, as will be seeni from the postcript to Mr. Lumsden's last letter, that a portion -of Gen. Patterson's command had entered Victoria, but it is not mentioned that tihe General hiinself hadl arrived, so that we cannot judge how. far the news from the two soWxces may conlict.

As the report of Santa Anna's advaneereach ed Gen.

Should the companies en route from Cumnargo have reachecd Saltillo, the force of Gen.
