WORTH Gen Taylor about to return

We have later dates from The army
which reached New Orleans by the
arrival there of the steamship Ala
bama She left the Bfazos on the Sd,
at which date there was no news of
especial interest from Saiillo, from
which II is inferred that the danger Of
an attack was not so imminent as sup
posed, when Gen. Worh's express
was despatched. The remains of
Watson, Rldgely, and other Baltimore
ans, had arrived at New Orleans.-
Lieut.. Boyle, of Washington, died on
the passage. The dates from Mala-
mOras are 10 the lst inst Since The
last dates rumors of battles, marches
and countermarches, Wool's column
cut off, WORMS division d'iven back
to Monterey from Sa,llo, That he and
Gen. Taylor were shut up in Monte
rey, have prevailed.
General Scott and his staff left two
days previous in great haste for Ca
margo. On going up the river, they
met steamer with mail bringing
intelligence 'ha, part of The corps OF
observation belonging to Santa Annals
Army had been near Parass, where
Wool was, and that Wool had Joined
Worth at SaItilo. Twlggs and Quit
man, as per previous accounts. Gen.
Pa,erson's division had crossed the
river San Fernando five days previ-
Gus, and would soon be at his destin-
alton. Gen. Taylor, it was thought,
would, no doubt, return home as soon
as Gen. Scott takes command. When
Gen. Patterson reaches Victoria, all
the passes 10 San Luis will be shut
up.
Advices have been received from
Tampico TO the 3Oih uI; Every thing
was then quiet and orderly. The
barque Ivanhoe, from New York. had
arrived at Tampico with the company
of artillery under Capt. Magruder and
were at once marched into camp
Mr.. Chase, the former Consul, had
been appointed Collector of the Gus
toms at Tampico. The rumors Of al
tacks upon Taupico were considered
as only Mexican tales. Great CON-
petition exists among the plloIs; their
rates are SIS per foot in and S4 out.
Two associations of pilots are in ex-
islence, one Mexican and the other
American.

lean schr. Ametia, and sent her to N
Orleans. Purser Crosby had beer
killed on board the Vixen by acciden
tally falling from alolt.
Santa Anna has been declared BY
The new Congress as duly elected
President of the Republic. From {
further examination of the files of Mex
lean papers, ii appears that no dlrec
; action was had upon the subject of iht
war by the Mexican Congress. The
Y Mexican papers convey the impress
Y sion that San Luis is TO be the grea
battle ground of the war; The off
cial accounts OF events al Los Ange

y tion of the 9th September, states tha
q 81 Americans were made prisoner

was killed but no Americans. Tn

drawn up with as much care and de
