TAKING or BARRITA.

We learn from the New Orleans papers that on
the 18th instant, Colonel WILSON, with fopr Gem
paufes ofregIlars and three companies of Alaba5na
volunteers, crossed the Rio Grande river and took
possession OF the small town Of Barita without sp-
position. On the following day General I'AYLoR
was also to cross the river, for the purpose tax
ing Matamoras and, as no cannonading had been
heard at Point Isabel, it was the general opinion
there that the 5ie2eans he'd evacuated the town
and permitted Gen. TAYLOR to occupy it without
moestation.
Our advices from Point Isabel are OF the 1osh.
