Eds. De!la-A private express reached here
this morning, with The news, or rtpou, that Gen.
Taylor had Defeated Santa Anna and driven him
back 10 Saliio- killing 1000 Mexicans. The
news is probably correct as lar as regards Santa
Annas defeat, but the number OF killed NAV be
exaggerated. We heard firing at Matamoras
yesterday afternoon, and il was doubtless upon
the arrival OF the steamboat Brownsvie's news
how hourly expected at this place. The ex-
press came down by land, and in halt the time i.
would lake boat. We have consequently no
