 Gen, Taylor, while ss Agua Nueva. 9s m'ies Irom Saluillo, wilh 5000 men. was a,. lacked. on the 22d uI, by Mexican inrre ot l9,00O Finding that he could no, main. tatfl has position, he made good his rs,rea, to Saiiilio, covering hia wagon train, Hom "a severe engagement took place in the s,ree,s. in which the hexscans suffered heavy ,o.x Alter destroying what of the public s,crss he could not transport, he continued h,s re. troga,le movement oa Monterey unul he reached the RinconAda pass, ~here he was again attacked, but successfully defended him. sell Here all the rGmers. reports and lst,ers leave him Once in Monterey. and Ae wosb be safe, but hts abslily te accomplish thtx much was altogether problemaiicaI, as thc Mexlcans were swarmiug ia every direction A merchant in Camargo, unslsr date of 25,A ult, writes to his freud in this place. ~Thfe, expresses to-day from Monterey; fighting in SAlallo, Marin in Mexican possessions large tram of wagons, 456, and iS0 private male. taken; McCulloeh's company taken; 5000 cavalry this side the mountains, and things m general turned upside downn From another source we learn that Col. Morgan had abandoned Cerraivo, destroyed ail prop erty he could not take with him; aha. cor ricr from Monterey reported, ai Camargo. l500 Mexicans between the two pIsees, and that 5000 more were LII the neighborhood oi Victoria.
 This much we culI from the mass of re- ports before us, without Youchng for i,, correctness. The destsaaiioa ot several seafs have been changed within the lsst few days on reaching thls place, and one the Troy) held m reserve al Camargo to convey despaiches. All the wagon trains for other places have been stoped here and every one IS on the qua rtre. ..s4
 We have strong confidence m Old Zach, and believe II almost impossible lo whip hun, but should harm beiall hls dlylsion oi the army, the consequences to those who have left him win such sleadtr resources will be terrible. We will suffer all the ,ortures ol doubtful suspense untli we hear something froa, cur hGlle army thai eau be relied upon
 The steamship New Orleans sailed from the Brazos on the 4'h inst for her desima- tion. We presume that Mr Kendall, must have written us ere his departure oa the New Orleans, but fl SO, his letters have nos yet come tu hand There was mall brought over on the Cinderella, but ii was nol sent to the Post Otfice for distribution last night The Postmaster Mr. Penn. was on tle seti and used all his efEDts t0,oblaa deiisey oi the mail, but without success.
 We hear no more by this arrival of the Mexicans crossing the Rlo Grands near sl ameTas. It occurred, If at ali, the day after the Flag was published.
 Capt Henrie, who recently effected his escape in se gallanta manner from the Mex cans has arriye. al Msiamoras, on his way 10 his home in Texas.
 The 22d of February was celebrated wiih great eclat at Matamoras, Statutes were lred from both sides Of the river, balls were gr- en, speeches made. ahd other nalionai demoo- strairons ol rejoicing took place. 4
