FROM MATAMoRAs.-By the schooner Empire,
Collins, IL days from Matamoras, which makes
her day of leaving the 18th, we learn that the Mex

was reported at Matamoras, that company of
Mexican dragons had crossed the Rio Grande,
and, on the 9th of April, had attacked portion
Of Gen. Taylor's command, killing number, and
taking $50 prisoners"
This report would seem to show that but a
small force of Mexicans had crossed the Rio
Grande, and the exploit of $50 prisoners, taken by
them, is undoubtedly COL Thonton's affair.
