Gen. TayIer.

Latest advioes from New Orleans Of the most re-
liable sources indicate clearly, that public senti
meut there considers the gallant TAYLOR in most
psrilous situation. IL was universally believed in
that city that he had not been able to reach Monte
reg, but was obliged to make stand at the Pass
OF Rinsonada. Should such DO the case-whlch we
dare not suffer ourselves 10 credit--the next news
may be Of the darkest character An American
army with TAYLOR at its head, we are confident
would never submit to treble its number nay
would prefer TO make Of this Pass Of hnconada an
other Tbermopyle, and leave an equally proud cpl
tsph for future admiration: "Passerby, go thoa

But Il NAV not be mere question OF numerical
superiority though quadruple the number Of Mex
leans could not in open fight overcome our gallant
little army, less number than that, supplied with
parks Of artillery and Efficient cavalry, might IN
close them within the narrow gorge Of some noun
tain cut off their supplies and starve them to
terms Of surrender. With the estimated hostile
force, sweeping the country from Monterey to the
very banks OF the Rio Grande, it would be mad
ness on the part Of an army to attempt the forcing
Those who escaped the enemy might fall victims
TO hunger fatigue or rowing bands OF erocioU' In

How forcibIy the critical situation Of our brave
General, with bis army Of heroes, impresses upon
tho mind this sentence Of his correspondence,
which we have also copied in another place
could not Of course hare oressen that The Department
,sould direct an important deaehaeat from my command
without consulting me- without waiting The rssn Of
the main operations under my command"
If Taylor has fallen he has fallen victim 10 the
eolpable imbecility, or the fend like maleyolence
OF the Administration If he has defeated the
Mexicans, or escaped their battle array, be has
done SO, without the concurrence OF the Admins
tration and it may be, IN spite Of hs erenIon' 10
me contrary.
Either positive, or negative, has been the crime
Of this Administration against the bravest the best
tried aud most victorious Of our Generals.

latest Dispatches through the Washington Union from
Gen Taylor which we copy. They are not however,
of efficiently recent date TO relieve anxiety They
will be found under our Southern Mail head.
