wounded. Our gallant little band expected an
assault from this side of the river at the same
time, and was fully prepared TO repel il. None
was made
Ma,amoras was necessarily fired upon in the
act of silencing the enemys batteries, and also
TO kill or dispense the troops therein quarered.
The buildings were probably but little damaged.
The inhabitants, no doubt, had mostly fled before
the commencement of the cannonade. What
number of Mexican troops was only known by
conjecture; no doubt considerable number.
General Taylor, at Point Isabel, expected,
on the 5ih, TO March the next day with heavy
train of supplies for the fort on the river and
thence TO assume offensive operations against
the Mexicans but private letter makes the
probable conjecture that General Arisia had re-
turned with his regulars to The other side of the
