NO FIGHTING Er.--lhe New Orleahs
Picayune, Second edition) OF Saturday,
August Goth, furnishes us with the follow
ing news from Corpus Christi, received {
by the steamship Alabama at that porl!--
"By the arrival early this morning OF
tho fast sailing steamship Alabama Capt
Winde, from Aransas bay, we have intel.
lgence from Corpus Christi up TO We'd
uesday evening last. One Of the editors
OF The Picayune came passenger ia the Al
ALBANIA, and brings the latest news.
The most import ant intelligence, per-
hans, is the non-confrmation of tho many
lateexcitng reports relative to the move
ments Of the Mexican army, and the pro.
liability of an engagement between the
forces under Gen. 3gsior and the Mexi'
cans. Gen, Taylor himse Ii doeu not an-
ticipate such an event.
Gen. Arsta is at Mstamoras with about
1900 men, entrenching himself, & Knows
of Gen. Taylor's position. II is believed
that if Arista had marched al once upon
. O
dcd he might easily have overcome him,
and SO on with other detachments as they
con tinued to arrive; but ii is now toe late.
Our army at Corpus Christi at this time
numbers some 2,0C0 strong and is 10 con.
di,ion TO resist four or Eve times that
number Of Mexicans. The country, too,
,I L.
Christi cannot now support an army in
, an atlack-one Of the principal impedi.
meuts being a scarcity o. water, OF which
, there is little or none at all.
: On Monday the 25th, we lad news Of
D the arrival oithe Cd Regiment of Dra>
goons, under Col. Twiggs, within A miles
ofGen. aylors encampment, which they
were to have joined last Thursday. They
: were very fortunate in their long march
Il with tler horses-not having lost any
= There were, however,two or three deser
: tions. They heard and saw no appearance,
u of Mexicaus on their route.
), Near San Antonio there was a larg
IL in all, some Of whom visited Col. Twiggt
!" They seemed friendly, and much delight
ed at the idea of the Uuited States mu
king war against Mexico. They inforn
ed Col. Twiggs that they were going tc
wards The Mexican borders and iplende
hostiries against the Mexicans The d;
rfng OF rIiese Indians is wen KNOWN
u conversation not little amusing occu
s. red hle they were in the Dragon Ell
Su canpment. They seemed to admire th
as orses very much, and asked Col. TwigG
IT, if they would be allowed 10 steal any
ie them. The Colonel, in his usually ecoei
Ms trio manner told them that If they toe
We any Of his horses he would hang them.-
ny The Camanchcs did not much relish Ia
'a' style of plain English but asked if The
he might MT steal the Mexican horses. III
n! Colonel said they might steal what The
all thing that belonged to the Americans,
b" he would string them up.
IN When the A Alabama left Aransas Ba
as the troops on the island were prepariI
TO start for Corpus Christi and probab
by this time they have all been remove
lo.l except few 10 protect the stores, &C.
TT The Monmouth and Dayton however,w e
10 busy in transporting the stores and So
as every thing will be removed.
hs The schoone Mary Wilkes, from Il
vo city, arrived at Arkansas last Wednesda
nd wing on board Col Whistler and Maj
it. Stamford, Of the army, together wi
he horses stores, &c.
ed So far, every thing at Aran.as and CO
for pus Christi is quiet. The troops and W
as. unteers are all well, and in fine spirits.
Gen. Taylor does not anticipate COLI
ion with Arista or any other Mcxic
force. He will throw d detachments Of L
ID Dragoons forward between his quarte
is, aud the Rio Grande, from time TO tim
to so that il will be impossible for an arm
ed to advance upeuSAin without his bel
Mt apprised of he faci. With the men und
nd his command, and the excellent pieces
of artllery--two WE'VE FOUNDERS aud S
"a sixes--taken down by The volunteers fro
fol this ciiy, his position is, in every respeo
p, perfectly safe from any attack the Me,
er cans may think of making upon him.
nd Deer and other game are plenty in {
or vicinity o. the post and The waters abon
il with the finest of fish and oysters.
