THE TWO BATTLES,

The official report OF the American loss in
the ' battles Of the 6th and 9th"-that is, that
of the Palo Alto, and Resaca de la Pal
ma-shows tito have been much less than it
was first represented. In the battle of the sth.
we find that but nine men on the American
side were killed and forty. fur were wounded.
Fourteen horses were killed and four wounded.
In the battle fthe 9th, the number of Ameri-
cans killed was hirty-nine-wounded Gghty-
taro. Twenty horses were Killed anG nineteen
wounded. Gen. Taylor makes the loss Of the
enemy even greater than was reported in the
first rumors ofthe affairs The force opposed
to him he estimates at six thousand men-Ars-
ia in his dispatches sets them down at three
thousand and the loss in killed and wounded
Taylor makes one thousand-Arsta little over
two hundred. But there is every reason to be-
lieve that Taylor is nearer the truth than his
worsted opponent, whoI has every motive to
conceal the extent of his damage.

From the .WeU York Gazette and Times

DEAR Mr.. GAZETTE l am puzzled not
little, at the details of the late battles on
the Rio Bravo. 1t appears from the most
recent accounts that the Mexican forces
were about 500 strong, and the Americans
1000. Taking the two battles together,
the troops were engaged in a hand-to-h hand
contest Of ten hours, and the total loss in
killed and wounded may be set down at 100
Americans and 1000 Mexicans-a portion
of the latter, however, having been drowned
| in crossing the Rio Grande. Thus reduced
| to proportions, making loss OF one Amer
! lean in IL, and one Mexican in about 8.
wish tocontrast these proportions with
the proportions of some of Napoleon's bat
ties. At the battle of Austerluz, $1,000
Austrians were engaged with %, 900 French
for about ten hours; the loss on each side
was 7,00O-abont one in four. AT the bat
tie Of Prussic- Eylau $4,000 Russians and
Prussians were engaged for about ten hours
with $1,000 French; the Russian loss was
$4,000, and the French 3O,0OO-about one
in three. At the battle Of Wagran,, $4,000
French were engaged for about len hours
with 10000 Austrians; the loss on each
side was 5000; about one in three and
half French and one in two and half Aus
trianS.
l might cite many others, showing SIM
liar result, were it necessary Now as
there was moth ing in the nature Of the case
to cause this great disporpotion between the
late battles in Mexico, and those have now
referred TO in Europe, should like to inquire
how it can be accounted for 1t does appear
to me that there must be some serious error
in the number of the troops, the time of
the actions or the character of the contest
