NEw ORLEANS, april ., P. M (
By the arrival OF the Ne,c York, fran
Galveston. we have the following slip
from the Galveston .Ners:
BY tho Pilot Boat L. NJ. Hithcock, from
Brazos ST. Iago, the Let instant, we learn
that on the arrival Of the Army Of Occu-
patton il front Of Matamoras, the Mex.
can forces we're drawn out on the opposite
bank Of the river, making great display Of
martial music, bogles, &c, which mode Of
salutation was reciprocated in kind by a
similar sounding oil trumpets and drums 10
the American lines. Thus ended the first
days encounter between the two armies
on the opposite banks Of the Rio Graude,
and within Two or three hundred yards cf
each other. On the next morning. (29ib,)
The American troops discovered The Mexi.
can artillery Of eighteen Founders, lining
the opposite bank, and pointing directly
into their camp, wnereupon The American
Army moved their encampment four miles
below. This step was doubtless taken by
Gen. Taylor in order to avoid every ap.
pearance Of any disposition TO commit ag-
gressions upon the west bank OF the river,
and to maintain strictly the defensive cha.
rac,er Of his operations The most reIa-
bic statements represent the regular army
in Mafamoras TO consist Of 1000 soldiers
and 500 rancheros. The Mexican Gill.
zens of the Rio Grande are said to be quite
iisaffected towards their own government,
and secretly friendly to the American
cause.
We understand that Gen' Taylor's or
lers are TO cross the Rio Grande and at.
tack Matamoras, should he be fred on from
The town.

Late from Mexico and Texas.


Through the courtesy OF Col. HEulSs.
WAY, at Jackson, we are in possession Of a
slip from the Mississippian, containing late
news from Mexico and Texas, by steamers
Alabama and New York, synopsis OF
which we snbioin. Theprevous accounts,
copied IN another part Of this paper, had
led 10 the expectation that Gen'l TAYLOR
would be attacked on his march to the Rio
Grande.
Mr. Slldell and suite arrived al New Or
leans by the Alabama, tho Mexican 90.
vernment having finally refused 10 receive
him as Minister.
Affairs ii Mexico were as unsettled as
eyer---the troops at San Luis Potosi had re.
voIted--and i was expected that Paroles
government would soon be overthrown.
Capt. Foster. Of the u S. cutter Wood
bury, at Galveston, from Point Isabel, gives
the following Information
The army Of occupation, numbering in
all $500 men, arrived and cncamped on
the 2s'h uIi., opposite Maiamoras. Gen.
Taylor, with n company Of Dragons I'm.
der command of Col Twiggs. having left
tho main army, arrived al Point Isabel
simultaneously with the fleet Of transports
from Aransas, on the Oath.
On the appearance OF tho fleet, the Cap
tain Of the port SCI, fire 10 the custom house
and several other buildings at Pt, Isabel,
and made good his retreat 10 the river, al.
though pursued some distance BY order of
Gen. Taylor. The buildings destroyed
were Of liItle value, being constructed Of
logs matched with straw.
The thousands and tens Of thousands Of
the enemy, reported in readiness 10 dis.
puie the march Of Gen. Taylor's army,
seem to have entirely disappeared upon
his approach. The only opposition expo
ricnccd Ny the army of occupation was al
the Little Colorado, where a Mexican Off
Ger, with about l50 mounted men, threat.
ened % fire upon Gen. Taylor il he al.
tempted 70 cross that stream, stating that
such were his positive orders, and that
Mexicans knew no fear.n The ariIle-
ry was immediately ordered up, when tho
troops formed and commenced fordinr, in
perfect order, the water being nearly to
their arm-pi,s, whereupon the gallant Mex.
lean prudenily reiterated, without execut.
ing his positive orders. The only other
show or opposilion had been previously
made BY party Of so or go, who, having
met the army ia a prairie, informed Gen.
Taylor tina, he must proceed no further ia
that direction. BY order 81 Gen. Taylor.
the army opened, and this party were per-
United 20 march through % The rear, and
then depart.
When near Point Isabel with The ORA.
goons, Gen. T.received depula,ion Of 30
or 40 men bearing proclamation and mes
sage from Gcu. Mejia, filled with threa,s in
The usual style Of Mexican gasconadc.

at point isabel BY Roderiguez was disco

PHEsiDEhT-MAkIso.-- Ill is said that the DO
liiicians at Washington, Of both parties,
are already msnauyering with view to
the selection Of Presidential candidates for
me next campaign. Already great ques-
tons are considered, not with regard 10
their justice or expedioncy, but as to the
effect on the prospects Of this or that aspi-
rant for Presidential honors. The national
interests, the national honor, are but as
counters in The game for the contestants
after this great stake. The two consider
cd tho most prominent in the democratic
party, play their hands face 10 face in the
Senate chamber, while their lieutenants
stand by to follow suit and "give item" as
the blacklcgs say. Tho result of tho last
scramble for tho Presidency was, that tho
political gamosters and hacks mutually de-
iaated each other; and after experience
proved tho wisdom Of the policy which
threw them all overheard together. For an
account Of the opening Of the Presidential
movements, from well info,ped source,

matter Of regret, but yet true, that there
are indications TOO strong 10 be mistaken,
that the Presidential question is agitating
the minds Of politicians in both parties
10 our own party, movements seem to be
making, which point to Messrs. Calhoun,
Cass and Wright, as probable aspiran's -
In the whig ranks, the names Of Messrs.
Mclean, Scott, Clayton, and Criitenden,
have been freely canyassed, and Of late the
name Of one of our distinguished citizens,
the honorable John Bell, has been brought
forward. As might DO expected, Mr.. Bell
is warmly preferred by The whig pressesin
Tennessee, who have spoken on the sub

make an impression on the politicians at
Washington, who seem TO regard the bush

Of tacit understanding, but how produced
we do not know, that the wing leaders at
