liant young captor sailed with his prize
back into his harbor after an absence OF
6 hours and 81 minutes.

boldest and most spirited affairs that came

LATER FROM MEXICO.

From the Utica Daily Gazette.
IMPRISONMENT THE AMERICAN Consul AT
MArANoRAs.-Capt Winde of the Steamship .4ta-
bama, who spoke the schooner May Sbields,on her
way to New Orleans states, in addition to what we
gave yesterday respecting the AFFAIRS that he learn
ed from the Captain that the Mexican who carried
the alleged correspondence between Gen. Taylor ana
American Consul, had been shot.
The was a rumor in New Orleans, on the loth' 10
the effect that Mr. Slidell himself had teen thrown
into PRISON. but this undoubtedly took Its rise from
the above.
In addition to this the Picayune learns veroaiiy'
that Mexican who was the bearer of despathes from
Mr. Slidell, at Matamoras, to Gen Taylor at corpus
Christi had been shot by the authorities at the 1or
mer place on his return. 1t is also said that Sooo
Mexican troops are stationed there.
The Picayune says, of the American Consui, 'na'
he has really been incarcated at Matamoras, Ten.
TAYLOR cannot reach the vicinity of that city with too
great speed.
A letter from New Orleans, written on the AFTER
noon of the 10Th, announce the arrival OF Senator
Houston on his way to Washington. The same let
ter gives rumor that the Mexcans have 5000 troops
at Matamoras, and that conflict between them and
Gen. Taylor's forces is probable.
