issued an order requiring his clerks to be at
their posts at eight o'clock A. NJ. every day,

army, will be heard ofwllh regret by all acquain.
ted with the character of that chivalrou, and
gallant officer. This has lie n caused by me
| decision, which he deems Vi just, relatve to his

"On the evening Of the 2Sh, the gallant
Worth planted the stars aud stripes on the left
bank OF the Rio Grande, in front Of Maiamoras,
from which it has not been removed Gen.
/ Taylor sent Worth TO communicate with Mfjja,
who refused to receive the second in command,
but sent his second, Gen. Vega to receive the
communication from Gen. Worth. lie sub.
stance was, that the U. s. troops had advanced
without hostile intentions to take possession Of
the left bank Of the RIO Grande. Worth was
offended at Mejas discourtesy, and declined
giving the letter, but stated the contents. Gen.
Vega opened voluminous argument against
the right Of Gen. Taylor, to which Worth re.
piled that he came to state facts, not Arguments.
Gen. Vega said the fl G of the United States,
now flying in bis sight, was offensive TO the
Mexican pride. Worth answered, that that
; was matter OF taste, and as it was likely 70
wave there, he would soon become familiar with
it. How long will i, remain!' said Vega. rs
tenure is eternity, SIR, answered Worth.
Since the receipt of the news from Texas, by

the East had the i'll luck to stop at this village
