mistake about that last item. Taxes we shall
have in every shape. Tnxes, draining our

to us as liie-our money, TaX-gatherers

their swarming near the close ofthe last war

But it il said we shall make the MeXicans

They've nothing to pay with. Would they

All the recompense we shall get. and all the
recompense Polk thinks of getting, is terrific

American Arms again Victorious.


Lieut. A. E. Gray, of the U. S navy. arrived here
this morning from Jamaica. Lieut.. G. over
land from the Pacific to Chagres, and there took pas
sage in a vessel sailing for Jamaica, whence he
reached Baltimore as above stated.
Lieut.. Gray goes on Immediately to Washington,
and has important dispatches from Com. Stockton
the Secretary of the Navy
The Patriot has been furnished with the following
memorandum of startling events in the Pacific.
On the 9Th of January last, Com. Stockton, with
400 seanen and marines, 90 dlsmouned dragons,
and also the same number of rfemen. under Colonel
kearney, (who volunteered to 60 with Com. So met
the enemy with 7C0 artillery and dragons on the
banks of the ''San Gabriel.'' The commodore push
ed his force forward, and crossed the in the face
of a punglng fire from the Mexican battery: The
dragging six pieces of artillery through the
water. (ther pieces having been transported by the
seamen lao miles from the ships,) under 1t Thigh
man, of Baltimore, charged up the heights, dislodg-
ing and taking the Mexican battery.
On the 9th, General Flores again made stand on
the plains of Mesa and another severe action took
place. The American were again triumphant.
The Mexican cavalry charged repeatedly on the sea-
men, who met them in squads armed with the ships
.sboarding pike''-the dismounted rifemen I'M the
centre-deallng out destruction with their uerrng
weapons.
The American loss was 16 killed and wounded
Lieut.. S. C. Rowan the only officer wounded and
that slightly. None killed. The Mexican loss is
about 80 killed.
1t is believed that if Col. Fremont had been able to
have joined CON- S. in season, with his mounted ri
lemen, Flores, with his whole force, would have beer
captured.
Com. S. refused to negotiate with Flores, but sem
him word that if he were TAKEN he would be shot al
rebel. Flores soon after surrendered TO Col. Ere
mont-who was not aware of CON- 5. having decline,
to negotiate with him. Flores has promised to be
come n lawful subject of the United States, and t.
assist in quelling the rebellion.
