The Picayune says, "the Mexican papers claim positively that the number of the killed and wounded oh the part of the Americana was more roneiderable than that of the Mexican., Gener al Arista eeta down the force of the Mexican in tt action of the 8th at 3,000 men an I twelve pieces of artillery; our number are stated to have been 3,000 men, more or leas, with great superiority in artillery. The destruction by out artillery is represented to have been severe. Over three thousand shots Ave said to have, been fired at the Mexicans by our artillery, between So'olock P. f. and 7 in the evening, when the battle closed. The Mexicans, in the same time, discharged seven hundred and fifty shots from their artillery. The Mexican loss on the 8th if set down at 353 killed, wounded and missing and they claim to have retained possession of the field of battle. We have riot the description of the action of the 0th by Gen. Arista as we had supposed in our hastes, but we have by a journal friendly to him. His position is represented to have been gallant ly forced, notwithstanding the repeated charges uf the Mexican cavalry, the last of which was headed by Arista in person, and during which they actually "cut to pieces two entire compa nies of the Americans." The loss of the Ameri cans is still represented as superior to that of the Mexicans. The papers make very patriotic appeals to all rood citizens to come up now to the rescue of the country. Even El Republicano claims that "the President is making and will make new ef forts as great as the emergency requires." It urges all to make the sacrifices which will be demanded, and appeals to the Congress about to assemble to sustain the war at every possible hazard. It recommends the putting aside of personal dissensions, and denounces those who would resort to foreign intei vet ion to bring about a peace. El Republicano praises Arista for the personal gallantry he displayed in action, and hopea yet to see his name associated with victories. "The General who has fought valiantly with the for eign enemies of his country has a solid title to the love of his fellow citizens." In regard to the loan attempted to be raised from the clergy of Mexico, we have the official letter of the Minister of the Treasury, Senor Iturbe, dated the 13th, before the news of the actions of the 8th and Oth could have been re ceived. It sets forth the grey ions necessity of money for the war, and urges the duty of the clergy to submit to the hardship forced upon all by the national calamity. He tells the Arch bishop that the Government has appropriated all revenues which were mortgaged, suspending without exception, all payments to its creditors; that it withheld a fourth part of the salaries of all its employers ; that all classes were called upon to make sacrifices, and the clergy must not be exempt. He then calls for a loan of 82,490, 000, payable in twelve monthly instalments, commencing the 30th June. The archbishop is called upon to partition the loan among various bodies of the clergy. On the 13th, the archbishop replied that ht had summon ed an ecclesiastic convention to meet that morn ing, before whom that matter would be laid; and that he would co operate to the extent of his lowers "in a war in which were at stake the two precious objects of Mexicans, ita indepen dence and ita religion." The next we hear of the loan is an announcement in El Republicano, of the 31st, that the metropolitan churches could not contribute the $98,000 a month allotted to them, as the total of their revenues will fall short of that sura. The same paper states that the collection of such sums as are assigned to the other churches, is nt teily impracticable in the present ruinous state of the tithes and the general depreciation of ecclesiastical property. This disappointment will prove, according to alt accounts, very in jurions to the Government. The wealth of the clergy bad been relied upon as the ultimate re source of the Government in ita emergencies. Whether the disappointment will be total, how ever, we are too little informed to pronounce. If it be, it will prove fatal to the administration of Paredes. . . The garrison of Tepic had pronounced against the Government; but, according to the Piaro, it had marched directly into Sinaloa, because the citizens of Tepic had refused to take part in the movement. Tepic is towu in Guadaljara, only a few mile from the port of San Bias. As the report of an insurrection at Mazatlan reached us at the same time as the action of the garrison at San Bias, we infer that the movement was a con ceited one, and that a formidable rebellion may reasonably be expected in Sonoro. The disturbances in the South of Mexico are attributed by the different journals to different causes. According to some it is but a war of castes; according to others the grita is for fed eralism and Santa Ana. Many have been arres ted on a suspicion of being implicated in the dis sensions ; and that they are of a very grave, na ture there can be no doubt. That it is connec ted with some geueral plan which is by degrees developing itself in those departments of Mexi en lying onUie Pacific, we think is a reasonable conclusion. Of the nature of it, It Mexican papers leave s iu the dark. The seizure of the armament which was destined for California, was no doubt one of the ramifications of extensive combinations. In the papers of the 2t t of May, is announced the arrest of six eminent citieens of Mexico, with a view to ata examination of their private cor respondence by the government. Tfce measure is denounced as a tyrannical on in itaelf, and particularly in a tune wbea the government should strive to conciliate the sympathies of all lasses. The papers of an earlier data contain tha names of parties suspected and arrested, or ordered to be arrested. Intercepted correspon dence of Alvarez had led to many of these arrests. We cannot pretend to five the names of the par ties, but the number of them proves the extent of the dissatisfaction wjtta the administration. Letters had been recieved in Mexico from Chihuahua, announcing that two American offi cers liml presented thrmselves near a presidial garrison seventy leagues from thecity ofChicua hua, and having encountered a soldier of the gar rison, they obtained from him a minute account of the force which was maintained there, and how many inhabitants and soldiers could be drawn from .the department todefeud tha city.- 'Unnn leaving him, they made him a gratuity and an nounced that they would return in a few days with a xtrong force. ' We find these details in El Republicano. La Vox dc Mit hoacan says that Gen. Hernan dez did actually attempt to revolutionize that department under orders from Gen. Alvarez, but that he failed and was taken prisoner and sent to Mexico. Tha previous report was that he was convinced of his error and had voluntarily given in his adhesion to the cential government. From the N. O. Picayune, June 51 h. . The Army f OrcMpMlan. The "army of invasion" would be a better des ignation of the force under Gen. Taylor, as the American troops have crossed the Rio Grande, and are now in possession of the teiritory of the enemy. But as the army has gained credit un- I der its own title, it will be well to keep this no menc'ature until it has dotiegna'er thugs under its new one.' We understand that the next demonstration of Gen, Taylor will be upon the city of Montery. This place is about 90 leagues from Vatamnras, and is approached by a difficult road running through an arid and ill-watered country. It is the principal city of the province of New Leon, and commands the entrance of the table lands, or the interior of Mexico, tbiongh the passes of the Sierra Mailre. . To make the operations of the army upon Motitery more secure, if not absolutely certain, Gen. Taylor designs occupying the town of Ca margo, about 350 miles, by water, above Mata moras. To do this securely, it is necessary for him to have Iran poits of a diaft suitable to the navigation of the Rio Grande. Carr.argowill be. the batis of operations upon Montery; this point must be first msde the depot of supplies, and en trenched in a style capable of suitaining a siege It' was the design of General Taylor, as we learn, to be at Monterey by the first of July ; but the want of transports to convey his stores to Camargo, has compelled him to delay further progress in the enemy's country till this defi ciency is removed. Camargo to Monterey is a bout 40 leagues, or 130 miles. The country ly ing between that town and Monterey is more fertile than that between Matamoras and Mon terey consequently it is altogether better for the army to proceed from Camargo upon Mon terey than from Matamoras. M'ithaview to expediting the march of the army, Capt. Sandcre, who has distinguished him self in the admirable defences he has construct ed about Point Isabel, haa been despatced to thia city to procure the necesrary transports. He is now in the city of New Orleans, but will pro ceed tip the river immediately to supply the de ficiency in transport with his purchasers here, to answer the purposes of an invading army, and therefore Capt. Sanders will go west to find them. Before reaching Camargo, the army will have to take the town of Reynosa, which is between Matamoras 'and Camargo It is not expected, however, that any defence will be made of surh villages. General Taylor designs now to lie at Monterey as soon in July as possible. At that place, it is beleived, the Mexicans will make a stubborn aland if at all during the war. If the troops un der Gen. Taylor occupy Monterey, the whole of Mexico this side the Sierra Madre will be in the possession of the United States, including the mining districts of New Leon, New Mexico, Santa Fe, Chihuahua, etc. etc. This calculation is baaed somewhat upon the idea that the Ignited Statea will order an expedition from the Missou ri river upon the Northern piovinces. If this be done, the whole of North Mexico will be in our possession. Such a disposition of the forces of the United States would end the war at once. But if it did not, our army would holJ the key to the whole of South Mexico, and the gates of the capital would, speaking in a military sense, be in the possession of Gen. Taylor.

' Pensacola, June 5, 1810. I have endeavored to get hold of the newt which the steamship Mississippi brings, in or der to inform you. She arrived I .te last even ing, five days from Vera Cms, with a bearer of despatches. Tin re is a good deal of mystery attending thr subject of thcao despatches, and what they refer to. It ia stated, that it is to inform the depart tnrnt that the Constitution, and one nr two other ships, had sailed from. Matntlan before contrary orders were recclvrd. But it ia aiid that this is but a cloak for it seems lingular that Dr. Wood and Mr. Parrot should have been permitted to remain in Mexico the length J of lime they were ; and further, to embark without molestation. Again, an expensive chip like the Mieaieeippi would not have been with drawn from the blokade without some reason. No doubt, aa the sucpieion if, she brings propn cali from Parolee to the government. This, the officers say, ia the moel probable cause. The news of the battle with Gen. Taylor had arrived in Mexeo. At firftthry endeavor ed to suppress the accounts ; and afterwards, , it waa treated aa a skirmish. Paredes was try ing all he could to collect troops, ostensibly In go to the frontier ; hoi the true came was, to put himself it the head of a body of men, to wait events which the revolution would bring forth. It was supposed he would retire, and await to dee Is re for the popular favorite. More full news of the battle end capture of MafanNirn and details Was known at Vera Cruz. They put down their forces at G.O0O, and the Americana at 7.IW and their loss at three thousand killed, wounded, prisoners, am! runa ways. No mention is made ol any more troops bring sent towards Matamoras; in fact, no troop could be collected. Die new from Mexico is quite important. The western provinces had pronounced for San ta Ana. Vera Cruz wnaon the point of revolution, and the time had been appointed to pronounce ; hut owing to the increasing popularity of Gen. Bravo, it waa put off, and the preaidency offer ed to him, which he refused. I have just seen Mr. Diamond, (Consul.) who had come-up iu the Mississippi; he says he saw a full plan of the revolution, which waa shown to him and, since tlravo would not be Presi dent Santa Anna ia decided upon. Quite a gentlemanly warfare ia going on at Vera Crux. - Gen. Bravo had permitted all A mericsn veesels'to sail, stating that, asthey had come in good faith, they should go also in good faith. Capt. Gregory, in return lor this, bad permitted three veasela to pase in from Tobae co, stating thst he ton could not make captures of tlm eii' n.y'a vessel under such generous treatment. He had, however, placed on pa role two Mexican field officers found on bard one of them. Gen. Bravo, winding to keep up the correfpondeuce, expressed regrets that ho Could hot send ou board fresh provisions ; to which Cspt Gregory replied he waa well suppli ed a preaent, but he regretted to state, that he might find il necesrary beloro long, to come on ttliore and take Mime, Thia gentlemanly waifare hsd not been in continuation long, for General Bravo had been quite rifW up by the Mississippi's first raptu res bring Ynestan vt'seeh, whirh were permit ted to puss free, with the assurance that their vcsi-ele would not be molested. 1 low ever, he had cooled down. P. S. Since writing this, Dr. Wont! lias said, in conversation with him, that it was thought in Mexico that no relief could be ex pected from England whatever. - And Parcdea waa collecting what troop he could press a round him, to sustain himself in the revolution. No hopea was expressed of sending more troops to Matamoras. Mr. Diamond ssy, that ere this, the revolution haa broke forth. The Tin ted States ship John Adama sailed today for Vera Crux. The American ships of war at Vera Cruz are Rsritan, Falmouth, and by Ihia time, no iiuul)t,lhe Princeton haa alen arrived. The St Mary's is blockading Taiiipicu. The SvHuera hue been sent lo Campcachy, to ascertain whether the people uf Yucatan are fa vorallu lo our cause. From Mr. Parrot wo learn that he met the i newa of the capture ol Capiaiu Thornton and the commencement ot hostilities, at Gaudeiaxi-ru- Upon inquiring at the p"t-ofliee he learn ed thai the governor bad not expressed the news. Mr. P. immediately employed a Irut-ty pcrnui to carry dt'sputi'lir containing all the particulars possible to be obtained Iu (Vmi:io doro Sloe I, lying at Maznllan with hia squad ron. Thia express would reach Cum. S. five dnys in advance of all other communications, and there can be no doubt that ere thia our flag ia waving over the walla of Mazatlan aa well as Monterey, in California. But little doubt exists at Mazatlan and a mong the officers of the squadron, that the Brit ish Admiral haa instructions not to allow the American squadron to take possession of any Mexican porta on the Pacific. If thia supposi tion should prove correct, trie next newa from the Pacific will be of the most highly exciting character aa there cannot txiat a doubt that Com. Sloat will take poaaeaaion at all ha tarda. Il ia supposed that fur some tune past Com. S. has had instructions tnsieznall Mexican ports' on that coast, whenever he should receive reli-1 able newa of the commencement of hostilities between the two countries. '-. l Correspondence of the Public Ledger. ! ' : Letters fro lata Army, Camp Matamoras, Mi:xtro, ) Army ol Occupation, Msy 231, 1910. ) The two squadrons of the 2d regiment of U nited Statea Dragoons, and two companies of mounted Texan Rangers, which left here on the 19lh, under lie? command of Lieut. Col. Gar land, to reconnoitre the army oflhd retiolinj? Mexican., have ,wsi returned to our camp, bringing with them 2-" prisoners and a Small a mount of plunder. This returned scout report that they came u ponthe rear-gnard of the Mexican army dnrintr the night of the UOth, about 45 miles from this camp that the Texan rangers were fired npon, without receiving any injury ; returned a vol ley upon the Mex cans, captured 25 prisoners and a small amount of property, and put the whole army, 3000 men, to a quick atep. It was not thought advisable that a small force of 200, the number of our scout, should follow them ehwely In pursuit. The peoplo of Matamoras are well satisfied with the present change in their political exis tence, and exhibit every show of courtesy to their new friends. Small quantities of Mexican government property are beino daily brought out from their hiding-places. Vesterdsy some tobacco and ci gars were discovered and brought into camp. Tobicco is a government monopoly. To-day a distribution waa made of the cigars; and at thia time you may see a cloud of smoke issu ing from almost every mouth in bur extended camp. , We have no idia of our next move, when, where or how. . I am, is cv r, your friend, O. P. II. Camp Mat.ymorar, Manic. ) Army or Occupation, Msy 24, 1H4G. Gentlemen: I am sorry tossy that a band of thieves and murderers are lurking about the city of Matamoras, and have commenced the practice of their infamous vocation upon our people. Within a few minutes past the lifeless body of a young Dragoon, Hospital Steward ol the Second Regiment U. S. Dragoons, named Mc laughlin, about 24 yesraof age, was found in a trench within a short distance of the city, where it had been thrown, evidently after the mnrd'-r. From the appearance of the corpse the young man must have been iirangtet. Another in atance of outrage, perpetrated last night, iathst of a young dragoon of the band, who being in the city after 9 o'clock, waa stopped in a public street by three Mexicans, two of whom were armed with pistols, the other with a club, and compelled to deliver to them all the property he had in his possession. This state of thinga cannot last. The Mexican municipal authori ties will be held to answer for the misdeeds of their community, or, an excited soldiery will purge the cilv by acts of violence. Thus far the kindliest feelings have been shown by the Army towards the conquered people, which in instances haa been ill requited. Seven hundred Volunteers, Jwt of Gen. Smith's command, from New Orleans, arrived on the banks of the Rio ( irande since 10 o'clock, A. M. all in good health, and anxious for a brunk if required. They report a large number ol volunteers at Point Isahel. The government steamboat "Nevan is on the Itio Grande river, a few miles below thia city She will be alongs-de our bank to-day. Without doubt, within a few weeks, our steam boats will be ploughing this river with an Inde pendent splash, c ha raet enalic of our nation. - N. B The "Neva" has arrived at Matamo ras, Mexico. It ia reported that the Mexican Army is in full retri al for Vers Crux. We shall probably remain in our camp a month or two, to refit and real, and if nece.ary lo scout or skirmish, give the volunteers an op portunity to distinguish themselves. ( P.1L G. Scott asd th Comvaid or tbb Asst. The newspapers have been making a greet noise about Gen. Scott, and censuring the Go vernment because it did not send him to tske command of the army in its operations sgainst Mexico. We paid very little attention to the various statements nublished, aslhey did not ap pear to rest on better authority than the mere opinions of the partisan letter writeis in that city. We have now the official correspondence between the Secretary of War and Gen. Scott upon the subject. From this it plainly appears that the President was determined, from the com mencement of the war, to give the command to Gen Scott. The Secretary of War cheerfully agreed to the selection. Grn. Scott was called into consultation with, tbeni, to devise the best plan for conducting the campaign. It was de cided that he should repair, as soon aa possible, to the camp. Gen. Seott, in a letter dated 31st tilt., ascribes the impatience of the Excutive, as he calls it, to hostility '; speaks of a desigu to cripple hia energies, and says he doea not desire to place himself between two fires; one npon bis rear, in Washington, and one upon bis front, in Mexico- This language waa deemed a direct imputation of unworthy motives in the Execu tive Government of a design to carry on a war against bim while ha was sent forth to carry on a war against tha public enemy and the Secre tary of War, in hia communication, says the Pre sident, under these eircumstancea, would be wanting in hia duty to his country to persist in the determination of enforcing upon bim the command of tbe army of Mexico. fhilaJtl pkia Ledger.

CT" The First Battalion of the 3d Regiment, met in thia borough, putsaant to order, on Satur day last, for the purpose of organising a volun teer infantry eorpe, under the late act of Con gresa. We believe the quota for thia regiment rwas one company. The number who offered their services in the battalibn was 90 ; more than ia required from the whole regiment. The vo lunteers, with the exception of 7 or 8, were all fiom the Sunbnry and Northumbeilsnd compa nies. We were surprised to see that several of the companies did not furnish a single volunteer. After the parade waa dismissed, some of the "b'hoys" having had their war blood roused by the music and excitement, aeized thia opportuni ty to get up a bit of a row. They would have succeeded beyond their most sanguiue expecta tion, had not Sheriff Uillinpton promptly appear ed on the ground, and put an end to their sport K7" Tna Oikuo Qi-istio msy now be eon sidered aa finally settled.' The Senate have ad vised the treaty, by the large vote of 38 to 13 This is in accordance with the wishes uf at least nine-tenths of the people. England having eon ceded all that we demanded in 1831, it would have been madness to hsve plunged the nation into a war for a few degrees of barren territory. Mr. Allen's resignation is a matter of but tittle importance. He never should have filled the responsible station of chairman in the committee on foreign relations. Subsequent events have shown that neither the President or the Senate had much confidence in him.' Mr. Buchanan's expected resignation is not surprising, since the settlement of the Oregon question. He will most probably go aa Minister to England, in place of Mr. McLane. 07" The treaty with England has given a new impulse to enterprise. Capitalists will sgain embark in manufactures of all kind, the benefi cial effeete of which will be felt over the whole country. 07" Our government has determined to prose cute the war with Mexico with great rigor. Thia will soon bring them to terms, especially since the settlement ol the Oregon question has banished all hopea of aid from England. 07 Gss. Rosiest II. Hammond, of Milton, has been appointed Paymaster in the United States Army. We think this a good selection, and one that will give general satisfaction. Rail Road Heeling.

The Oregon Q.ncttlon, Thr BaiTiftu PaorosiTioa tor its Settlement; The Senate, on Friday evening last, by a ma jority of three-fourths of its' members present, advised the President to conclude a Convention with England for the adjustment of the Oregon quesion, according to the terms proposed by the Government of Great Britain and laid before that body. If we arc rightly informed, this proposition did not consist in general heads merely of an ar rangement, but was, in effect, the full draught of a proposed Convention, which draught waa as sented to by the Senate without alteration. Ir all probability, therefore, a Treaty conformably thereto will be signed and sent to the Senate to day or to-morrow. . Thia lesnlt, we doubt not, while it surprise: many by ita suddenness, will still highly gratifj the great majority of reasonable and just men it the country ; for it is understood that the genera basia of the proposition ia to make the 49th pa rallel of latitude the boundary between the ter ritories of the two countries, from the point o that parallel where the preser.t boundary no terminates, to the middle of the sound or chanm which divides Vancouver's Island from the cor tinent, and thence along the middle of that chat nel, and so Southwardly and West warily throng the Straitsof Fuca to the Pacific the navigatio of this sound or bay to be open to both part iet and the nsvigation of the Colombia river, up tl main stream and up its North branch, to the fo ty-ninth parallel of latitude, to be free to tl Hudson's Bay Company and British auhjectatr ding with that Company. On the whole, as w understand it, England has assented to terms n quite so favorable to her as were offered in M Gai.i.atiVs proposition in 1837. We doubt not that the arrangement will 1 found to be a just and equitable one, maintainii the honor and aeruriug the essential rights both parties ; and this is just what it ought to b Reasonable men in both countries will appro it, and good men all over the world will rejoi that war has been averted, and the amicable i lations of two grest leading nationa have be preserved.
