FROM THE BRAZOS.

Rumored Battle 6etaUeen General. Taylor

and Ready" Again Victorious.
By the arrival at New Orleans, on the
evening of the 9th, oftho schooner Henry
Long, which left the Brazos on the ID inst.
we have later intelligence from Gen.
Taylor's column. The Delta learned
from passenger, that just before leaving
Matamoros, news was brought in by a
Mexican, that shortly after Gen. Tayor's
leaving Marin, thevan- guard ofthe divis.
ion under his cammand came up with theF
rsarguard of the forces under Urea and
Canales, and hot engagement ensued,
in which the American troops were, for
a short time, severely handled until the
main body, under the immediate com.
mand of Gen Taylor, come up, when the
Mexicans were forced to retreat, with
great loss. Ii was further stated that
Urres'and Canales were taken prisoners.
The engagement is said to have taken
place in the vicinity Of the lula Pass.
This statement, says the Delta, is evil

that the Pass alluded TO is the PaSo

and about 90 mics from Marin.
There may be some exaggeration in
the rumors as given above, but that an

to admit of but little doubt, for through the
