BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL,
From eke New Orleans Picauyne, May 1.
Later from the Army !
Col. Cross murdered !—His body
found!-2000 Mexicans Across
the Rio Grande !!
The brig Apalachicola, Capt. Smith, arrived at
this port yesterday from Brazos Bay, whence she
sailed on the 24th ult., and reports that on the 22d,
she left Point Isabel, where Major Thomas, the
acting Quarter Master, informed Capt. Smith that
the body of Col. Cross had been found about four
miles from Gen. Taylor's camp on the Rio Grande-
From the wounds upon the body, it seems evident
that he was killed by a lance.
It was further reported that a person in Matamo
ras had acknowledged that he was the murderer,
and had the watch and clothing of Cul. Cross in
his possession.
Gen. Taylor had made a formal demand for the
murderer.
The Mexican schooner Juanita, from this port
for Matamoros, was taken into Brazos Boy on the
2241 ult. by the pilots—no doubt by permission of
the blockading force.
The ache. Cornelia, Capt. Stark, arrived last
evening from Brazos Santiago, whence she sailed
on the evening of the 24th inst. She reports that
about three hours before she sailed an express hod
arrived from Gen. Taylor, stating that the com
mander of the Mexican forces had made a formal
declaration to Gen. Taylor that if he did not move
his army from the position he then occupied within
thirty-six hours, that the Mexican batteries would
be opened upon them.
The same express aim stated that at that time a
body of 2,000 Mexicans had crossed the Rio Grande,
near Boretta—a small town about eight miles below
Matamoros. on the west bank of the river—and
taken up a position between Point Isabel and Gen.
Taylor's camp. The design of this movement is
evidently to cut off the American troops from their
supplies. A private letter was also received last
evening from an officer in Gen. Taylor's camp,
confirming in part, the above report of the Mexi
cans having crossed the river, but stating the num
ber at 1000" only.
We have a letter from an officer in the camp,
dated the 21st tilt., the postscript to which states,
what we have no doubt of, that the Americans °had
not retired one foot from the bank of the river, nor
does the General mean to do anything that can
look like it. Our flag waves over the waters of the
Rio Grande, and we have a fixed battery of 18
pounders that can 'spot' anything in Matamoros. ;
Additional troops and munitions of war aro being
despatched from New Orleans, fdr Gen. Taylor's
army.
The New Orleans Commercial Times
of the Ist instant has the following intel
ligence, which is the latest that bad reach
ed New Orleans before the mail left for
the Nqrth :
We are informed by Capt. AT wrtz, of
the schooner Gen. Worth, who left Brasos
St. Jags on the 25th, that the day before
(the 24th) the Mexican schooner Juanita,
was taken by the U. S. schooner Flirt,
and sent into the port us a prize.
We learn also from the same gentle
man, that the two thrmsand Mexican troops
abo've spoken of as having crossed the liin
Grande, had captured several wagons, be
longing to settlers loaded with provisions
far the American camp. The object of
the enemy seems to be, to intercept the
supplies destined for the U. S. troops.
It is snore than probable that an engage
ment has taken place before this.
The American Consul and Merchants,
resident in Matamoros had been ordered
by Gen. AUPUDIA to leave for Victoria,
Tamaulipas—twenty-four hours having
been allowed them to adjust their affairs.
This is a violation of the terms of treaties
existing between the United States and
Mexico, it having been agreed on, that in
the event of war, the citizens of the two
countries, respectively should not be mo-
Jested in their affairs, but six months be
allowed to those living in seaports, and
twelve months to those in the interior, to
arrange for their departure.
Our army is in good health and spirits,
only 155 being on the sick list.
The New Orleans Picayune of the Ist
instant has the following paragraph:
THE BLOCKADE OF THE RIO
GRANDE. —We learned last evening
that formal protests hail been made before
the British Counsel by the English houses
tvhiels had shipped cargoes on board the
schooners Equity and Floridian, for Mat
amoras, which were turned back by the
United, States brig Lawrence, or the
mouth of the Rin Grande.
Otr A Paris correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, alluding to the recent
Polish struggle, says it is crushed and
smothered, and adds this sad account;
•'The oppressors are two strong. Prince
Metternich addressed a letter to the dif
ferent Courts of Germany, announcing
that the insurection in Gallicia was over;
that peace. was re-established, and tran
quility reigned over the disturbed dis
tricts. Peace! Yes—after their sort who
'make a solitude and call it peace.' The
work of repression was prompt, effeetual,
and is done : that of punishment is in
progress. Eight hundred nobles within
the limits of three circles only in Gallicia
have been slain or made to disappear since
the commencement of the present troub
les. Daily arrests take place—summary
trials, confiscations, death, and exile to
Siberia, are the certain fate of the arrest
ed. Voluntary death has been prefered
by many."
Marriage of the American Minister
at Turin..
The Hon. Robt. Wickliffe, Jr., Charg (1' Affatrea
of the United States at Turin, was married on the
7th April to Miss Josephine Van Houton, of Rot
' terdana--a lady of rank and fortune. The mar
riage was celebrated in the chapel of the Prussian
embassy, at Turin, by the Rev. Mr. Bert, pastor of
:the Protestant Legation.. In the evening Mr. W.
entertained the bride and a distinguished party at
dinner. The act of marriage was attested by the
tehevalier Biscarra, for the bride, and by Mr. G. J.
Crofts, of Charleston S. C., for the bridegroom.
The .711exicaess—Our ✓lrmj.
An dicer of the army, writing to the
N. Y. Spirit of the Times, says:
"On the morning of the 28th we march
ed for Matamoras. It believed by
many that we would have a fight; I was,
and have been, an unbeliever. However, !
we were all prepared. The country pas
sed through was really beautiful, such
grazing was never before seen ; besides
abundance of mesquite grass, tones and
acres of the pea-vine found. The ground
appears to be alive with quail, and next
Fall they may look out fur having their
number decreased. As you approach the
river, the chaparral increases in density.
The soil is very rich. If they—the Mex
icans—had intended to have attacked us,
numerous points could have been select
ed, where they could have forced us into
a bloody fight. Within a mile of the riv
er we came to some settlements. Large
fields were enclosed in fences nude by
driving in posts and filling up the space
with brush. The country is a perfect
level, and no finer roads were ever driven
over. As we reached the bank we passed
through a long lane of Mexican huts. IVe
stopped at one, and there was a regular
rush for eggs and chickens. 'Chi; salt
grub for a few days, gave us an appetite
for chicken fixens. The house was paved
with brick and filled with beds. Not a
(lark eyed lassie made her appearance.
On one of the beds a small goat was sleep
ing, under every one and in every corner
a game cock was tied by the legs. The
domestic animals appeared to have carte
blanche to occupy the parlour with their
mistress. The prior devils at their cot
tage doors appeared pleased at our arri
val, and saluted us as we passed. They
saw in us protectors, and an assurance
and guarantee for all their rights."
ln another part of the letter he says:—
"We are completely at the mercy of
their guns. I understand we are to en
trench ourselves; the General says he
will not retreat a foot! I wish they would
fire upon us, sir commit some act that
would authorise us in taking the town:
'their quarters would be a confounded
sight more comfortable than squatting in a
corn field, the soil of which is baked har
der than a brick hat. I think they are a
great set of fools for not opening a friend
ly intercourse. They are losing all this
time the society of a clever set of fellows,
Who would walk into the affections of the
men and all the pretty gide, as easy as
falling of a log. It is rather provoking
to be in sight of so much comfort and lux•
toy, and nut to be pernoted to enjoy i'
