gress, and has become law. This makes
the number of States thirty,-a matter to
be borne in mind in firing salutes and

people-always talking about a dissolution
of the Union and decline Of national great
ness. whereas the Union is growing firmer
and the nation extending and increasing
every day. The Congress which has just
closed, has added three new States-Texas

2Sd Morgan was at Seralvo, with seven
companies OF volunteers at which time the
Mexican troops occupied Marin. On the
23d Irving marched to effect junction
with Morgan, who evacuated Serako on
the gath destroying the supplies there
which it was impossible to take with him;
and it is thought that he must on his route
have encountered the enemy. A train Of
l60 wagons that left Camargo on the 10Th
with provisions, clothing, &C., are report
ed to have been captured with their escort,
near Ramos, by the Mexicans. This re-
port was brought by some escaped mule
teers, who reported that the battle whether
this was the attack on the escort, or a bat
tie between Taylor and Santa Anna, is not
clear had continued three days, with great
loss on both sides. Gen. Taylor is said to
have despatched q messenger to Tampico
for reiniorcements; but it was feared that
oil the troops had sailed before the arrival
Of the messenger. lfso, it would be very
unfortunate, as that was the only point
from which reinforcements could come. 1t
was reported by Mexicans that Gen. Tay-
lor had repulsed an attack made upon him
by Santa Anna---the loss of the Mexicans
being 1900. From all the. accounts, al
though conflicting and confused, there is
little doubt that a battle has been fought,
and thus far seemingly favorable to the
Aperieans.
There seems to be no doubt Of the Mex.
leans having got between Gen. Taylor and
Monterey, with very strong force, thus
placing him between two divisions of Santa
Annals army, each numbering twice the
amount of. Gen. Taylor's force.
The Mexican inhabitants were abandon
ing the country along the Rio Grande, fear.
ing the approach of the Mexican army,
more than the presence of the Americans.
Camargo was strongly fortified and was
considered sufficiently strong to hold out
against any attack the Mexican troops
could make, until reinforcement could
reach there from below,
The rumor Of the capture Of Capt. Nc.
Culloagh's detachment of Texan Rangers,
is contradicted. =.
PHILADELPHIA, March %, 1847.a
News from Brazos to the 18th reached
New Orleans. Gen. Taylor had arrived
at Monterey, losing six pieces of artillery,
and large number of men. We have,
however, nothing certain.
Communications are said to be cut off.
Col. Curtis, at Camargo, called for fifty
thousand men-tcn thousand from Louis
lana. The Governor Of Louisiana has is
sued proclamation calling for ten Regi-
ments for Mexico.
1t is reported that 1900 Mexicans were
advancing on Brazos, which is under mar
tial law. No attack on Camargo was made
up till the 4th.
All previous reports of battle are re-
peated; but Col. Curtis says he has had
no news from Taylor since the 22d ult.
There is q rumor from Washington of
dispatches having been received confirm
ing the news of a battle, and that Gen.
Taylor has succeeded. This however is
doubted.
