News from General Taylor arrived at New Orleans
ow the 11th of April by the steamer Telegraph. He
bad not then, according to news from Brazos Santiago,
engaged with Urrea or Canales. Immediately after the
laattle of Buena Vista Urrea fled across the mountains
'with 500 or 600 men, and had not since been heard of.
Vanities was heard of 20 miles south of Cerraloo, and
was pursued by Captain Grey and a party. of rangers.

Wards returned to Saltillo. It is supposed that Scott
Ind Taylor have established a junction on a point be-

Zurich left, and the intelligence she.
brought was at once

NEW YORK, TUESDAY, Aram 20.
4111,, demand for the Treasury notes continues steady, at
tending upward; and the market being judiciously fed
at :,01ders the price maintains itself. The sales to-day were
and left off stiff at that rate.
14`45 tow-boats brought no flour to-day, and prices range

Besides the above there were at St. Joseph, 8,000 barrels
'corn meal and 1,500 barrels high wines ; at Racine, 1,350
bides and 300 barrels high wines; and. at Milwaukie, 8,000
hides.
There is now in store along the line of the two railroads
terminating at Sandusky, 350,000 to 400,000 bushels wheat
and 24,000 to 25,000 barrels of flour, exclusive of the flour
at Venice and Castalia mills, which is off the road.
•Ia the valley of St. Joseph, to come forward by July next,
the quantity of wheat is estimated at 30,000 bushels, together
with some 90,000 barrels flour, besides pork, lard, tallow,
hides, &c.
' The freights on the lakes will probably be high, as vessels
are not numerous. From Milwaukie to Buffalo the probable
rate is stated at 15c. per bushel of wheat.
The harbour at Buffalo on the 17th was still in some de-
gree obstructed by ice; steamers and propellers succeeded
111 fassing, but sailing craft found difficulty: The receipt
of our since steamers had been able to navigate the lakes
this season was 9,667 barrels, most of which was predisposed
of for eastern shipment. The price of transportation to New
York has not yet settled. Contractors asked 1 doll., but in
some cases 80 cents. had been agreed to. India corn is quoted
et 50 cents.
Title Albany Evening Jo*rnul of yesterday expresses an ap-
reuension that owing to the continued cold weather the canal
,2111 d hardly be opened before the Ist May. The banks of the

tn is needed to settle them.
