FROM ARKANSAS BAY.


The ship Queen Victoria, which sailed from
Arkansas Bay on the afternoon of the 18th ultimo,
has also reached New Orleans. She reports that
nearly all of the third and fourth Regiments of
United States troops, under the command of Gen.
TAYLOR, had been conveyed by the steamer I'm
dine from ST. Joseph's Island to Corpus Christi.
Gen. Taylor had not heard of any Mexican troops
being Wifhin annoying distance Of him. The
New Orleans Bee remarks: "lt is hardly proba-
bic, from his present position, that he could have
received the intelligence, should such have been
the fact. He had already crossed the Neuces
and planted the u. S. flag in the ancient depart.
ment OF Tamaulipas he had only to sleep upon
his arms and await the approach of the Mexican
army, 1t having been decreed by that Government
that the passage of the Rubicon by the United
States troops would be considered as declara-
ton of war"
The whole of the Fifth Infantry was stationed
at kinney's Rancho. On the 9th the Undne rot
aground and lay three days with two companies
OF the Seventh and Fourth Infantry on board; she
succeeded in getting of on the 18th. Gen. TAY-
LoR was on board the Undine at the last accounts
he left ST. Joseph's camp on the IIth instant.
AT st. Joseph's, waiting orders to move, were
companies f, Ii, T., and G, of the Fourth Rep.
ment OF lafantry also, company f of the Third
Artillery, awaiting the arrival of their cannon
Company IL was at shell bank, with the horses
and Suffers department. 1t was reported that
the remainder of the troops were to 90 to Nc
Gowans Bluff, which was thought to be the best
place for depot, the Rancho being too far from
the sea and not being so good for wood and wa
ter. There was no sickness at all among the
troops; the air was very fine and the nights COOL
with good breeze from the sea, with plenty of
the best Kind OF fresh provisions.-Nat. Int.
