The Mexican schr. Junata was brought
into the Brazos. from this port Tor MHIamo'
ras. on the S2d ulIimo. by the krazos pilo1s,
Tor a harUor, until the blockade should be
taken oil.
/ STILL LiTER.--The Times appends the
following intelligence brought hy the schoo-
ner COrneIia, captain Stark, which arrived
atNew Orleans on the night of the 30thult.
Capt. s. left Brazos ST. lago, OH the even
ing OF the 24,h April, Reports that about
three hours heiore the Corneia sailed, an
express arrived from Gen. Taylor, which
stated that the Mexican General had given
Gen. I. TO understand, that if he did not
remove his army from the place they then
occupied, within thirty-six hours, that the
Mexican commander should fire on him.
The same express furthermore stated that,
At that time, two thousand Mexicans had
already crossed the Rio Grande, and were
stationed between Point Isabel, aud Gen,
rs army.
Capt. Stalk informs us ihatit was under.
stood that the Mexicans had crossed the
river telween Matamoras and asmall town
named Rozetla, about light miles below
MalamOIas, on The west SIDE OF the river.
We are informed by captain Atwsll, Of
The schooner General Worth. who left Bra
s.. lagO Oh the 25th, that the day before
(the 24Gh) the Mexican schooner Juniata
was taken by the United States schooner
Flrt, and sent iugo that port as prize.
We also learn from :he same gentleman,
that the two thousand Mexican troops a.
bov" spoken OF as having crossed the Rio
Grande, had captured seven wagons, be-
longing to settlers, loaded with provisions
tor the American camp. The object OF the
enemy seems to be toinlercept the supplies
destined Tor the United States troops. 1t
is more than prObale that an engagement
has taken place before this.
The American Consul and Merchants
resident in Matamoras, had been ordered
by Gen. AmpudIa to leave for Victoria, Ia
mauipas, tTenty-iour hours having been
allowed them TO adjust their affairs. This
Is violation OF the terms of treaties exist
ing Ieiween the United States and MeXi-
co, it having been agreed on, that in the
event Of war, the ctIzens OF the two coun-
tri's, respectively. should not be moIesled
in their afialrs, but six months be allowed
TO those living in seapOrts, and twelve
months to those IN the interior, to arrange
Tor heU departure.
Our army is in good health and spirits,
