LATEST FROM MEXICO AND TEXAS.

Gen. Taylore dduonce-SHdelrs r1ection-Burn-
ing a Custom House--Sight Of an enemy.
The .Neac Orleans Picdyune brings intelligence
of the arrival of the Alabama from Galveston with
important intelligence. Mr.. SlideIl was off the Ba-
lie, on board the steam ship Mississippi. The ar
my of occupation arrived and encamped opposite
Matamoras on the 2Sth ult. A detachment with
General Taylor together with the Transports arrived
at point Isabel on the oath. On the approach Of the
fleet Rodriguez, Commander o. the port set fire to
the Custom House and retreated the river pursued
offered was by Mexican officer and $50 men who
threatened to fire on the American forces, should
they Gloss the little Colorado, but retreated when
the troops commenced fordng it.
Gen. Taylor's orders were to cross the Rio Grande
and attack Matamoras, if he is fired upon by the
Mexcans.
TWO DAYS LATER.
Arrival Of the New York-Later from the U. S.
Army on the Rio Grande
we learn from an extra of the Galveston News,
issued on the afternoon of the 4th inst. that the pilot
boat L. H. Hitchcock, arrived at Galveston about
o'clock p M. of that day, from the Brazos st. Jago
which place she left on Wednesday, the lst inst.
She brought the intelligence that upon the arrival
of the army of occupation, in front of Metamoras,
the Mexican forces were drawn out on the opposite
bank of the river. On the next morning, 29th, the
American troops discovered the Mexican artillery of
eighteen Founders lining the opposite bank, and poin-
ting directly into their camp, whereupon the Ameri-
can army moved their encampment four miles below.
This step was doubtless taken by General Taylor
in order to avoid every appearance of any disposition
to commit aggressions upon the west bank of the
river and to maintain strictly the defensive charac-
ter of lis operations.
The most reliable statements represent the regu-
lar army in Metamoras to consist of 1000 soldiers
and 500 rancheros. The Mexican citizens of the
Rio Grande said to be quite disafected to their
own Government and strictly friendly to the Amer
lean cause.

PROPOSED CATHOLIC MISSION TO
MEXICO.

The New York Herald says, it is hinted, in
several papers, that Bishop Hughes, of this city,
has had an interview with the President on the
subject of some kind of mission to Mexico for the
purpose of explaining to the Catholic clergy of that
republic. the position Of the Catholics in the Uni
ted States, and the intention of the American Gov
eminent not to interfere with the religious rights
or doctrines of the Mexican people, in the prOpo.
sed invasion.
We doubt the accuracy of this information
There may have been conversation between the
President and some of his Cabinet, and also an
interview with Bishop Hughes and some of the
Catholic clergy, who attended the recent Catho-
lie Council in Baltimore. There may be, also, a
correspondence between the Catholic hierarchy,
In this country, and that of Mexico. Indeed,
more than year ago, we alluded to the fact Of
such correspondence between the priests of
both countries; and it is probable that the break
ing out of hostilites may have caused this cores
Pondence to De prosecuted with some activity.
The American people have been much nisrepre-
scented in Mexico by the military despots of that
country, and the Yankee heretics have been, no
doubt, held up hostile, in every respect, to the
Catholic faith. Yet if the Catholic clergy knew
the security and comfort under which tho Caiho-
lies live in this country, they would change their
opinion very soon Of the nature and temper Of the
Yankee heretics.
