LATE FROM THE ARMY!
We had the pleasure of meeting one of the
sntlemen forming the Committee of the Lee
stature who repaired to the Amy Of Occu-
hton under Instructions of the House of Re-
kesentatves, to convey to Gen. Taylor the
Psolutions passed by the Legislature express
We of the thanks of the people of Louisiana
|br the gallantry of himself and the army I'M
lbr his command, in achieving the splendid
|ictories of the 9th and 9th of May, and in de-
Binding Fort Brown during bombardment of
teek's duration.
The committee were received by the brave
l Id soldier with every mark Of courtesy and
[indness, and the officers of the army, one and
lii, We'd with each other in Inequalities to a
! delegation of Legislature which had met
|risis of peril with swift and efficient measures,
Ind had born prompt testimony to the chivalry
hat won two successive fields against great
Ind alarming odds.
The army was in good spirits, and the COM
|aittee heard nothing of the complaints of the
lfficers which find their way to the press of the
States. Gen. Taylor was encamped on the
west side of the Rio Grande. The Washing
|ngton Regiment and the Fifth Regulars, with
others, occupied the American camp opposite
(Matamoras The American Flag was display
BID in Fort Paroles, and the enemy appeared as
well contented as could be expected, consider
Ing the pause of active hostilities.
Just before the committee left Matamoras,
Mai. Ogden arrived from above, with the infor-
nation that the detachment of regulars and
volunteers under Col. Wilson had taken the
town of Reynosa without meeting any opposi-
ton 1t was thought that the navigation of
the Rio Grande was practicable to Camargo-
if so, that town would BIZ the next in the order
of conquest. From this point, Camargo, pre-
partitions would be made for penetrating the
interior.
Before the committee left the Rio Grande,
intelligence of the death of General Torrejon
reached Matamoras. 1t is said his died of fe-
ver.A After the battles OF the Sth and 9th of
May, it was thought he was killed in one or
the other of those actions. He was the COM
mander ofthe Mexican division that captured
Capt. Thornton's command.
There was no certain knowledge in the A
merican camp as to the position of the Mexican
army, but it was generally supposed to be at
Monterey 1t was also confidently asserted
that Gems. Arsta and Ampudia had both left the
army for the capital, the latter charging Arista
with having betrayed the army, and Arsta
charging Ampudia with cowardicc.
The u S. sloop-ofwar John Adams, brig
Lawrence and cutter Woodbury. were blockad-
ing the mouth of the Rio Grande.

bark VIM. Ivy, Capt. Hoffman, has arrived
from Brazos Santiago, having sailed thence on
