Two days later from the Army
of Occupation.

BY the Pilot Boat Hitchcock, from Bras
SOS 81. lago, the LIST instant, we learn that
on the arrival Of the Army Of Occupation
in front OF Matamoras, the Mexican forces
were drawn out on the opposite bank of
the river, making a grea, display of mar
tiaI music, bugles, &c, which mode Of sal
tat!on was duly reclprocatcd IN kind by a
similar sounding Of trumpels aud drums i'll
the American lines. Thus ended the first
days encounter between the two armies
on the opposite banks Of the Rio Grande,
and within two or three hundred yards of
each other. On the next morning, 29th
the American troops discovered the Mexi-
can artillery of eighteen Founders lining
the opposite bank, and pointing directly
into their camp; whereupon the American
army moved their encampment four miles
below. This step was doubtless taken by
Gen. Taylor in order to avoid every APP
pearance OF any disposition to commit ag-
greSslonS upon the west bank of the river
aud to maintain strictly the defensive chat
ractcr of his operations. The most rela-
bic statements represent the regular army
in MatamoraS to consist Of 1000 soldiers
and 500 rancheros. The Mexican citizens
of the Rio Graude are said to be quite dis.
affected toward their own government and
secretly friendly to the American cause.
