SIXTEEN EATS LATER TSON zunors
The Royal mail steamer Britannia, Captain
Hewitt, arrived at Boston, at half past six o'clock
on Thursday morning, bringing Liverpool dates to

ono or two parcels of prime white and mixed wheat

the elate of India appears perfectly tranquil. Peace
Meanie restored to the Punjauh. _ _ .
The British forces are in possession of Lahore,
and arrangements were making for the occupation
of the, conquered country, which is exceedingly
fertile, and will yield an annual revenue 0f.£400,000,
. _
The news from Scinde is not of interest. The
Governor of Bombay, Sir George Arthur, has had
a severe fit of illness, but was recovering.
The Irish Coercion Bill has passed its first read
ing by a majority for ministers of 149.
The Corn bill has been acted upon, but will pro
bably follow the Coercion bill. The Corn trade
consequently remains in a very unsatisfactory slate.
Lord Aberdeen has recognized the annexation of
Texas, by informing the Custom House authori
tie. that the produce of that country may be regard
ed as the produce of the American Union.
There wee quite a " scene" in the British Par
liament on the 25th, and Sir Robert Peel in effect,
gave the lie to Mr. D'hiraeli.
The imprisonment of Mr. Smith O'Brien, has
become one of the primary topics of the day.
The accounts from Ireland are gloomy, and every
day adds to the misery of the people in that unfor
tunate country. Before the summer is over the
distress will have been greatly aggravated. The
efforts of the government and of private munifi
cence, seem to fall far short of what the exigencies
of the case demand.
A plot had been discovered at Glogan for the re.
lease of Polish prisoners there, and several persons
concerned in it had been arrested.
Numerous attempts have been made lately at
Brussels to excite the lower classes against the gov
ernment, by distributing incendiary pamphlets and
handbills amongst them.
The French papers contaim ample details of the
attempt on the life of Louis Phillippe. That:
monarch never stood so high in the opinion of the
French people, and this monstrous effort to shoot
him in cold blood has elicited much warm and gen
erous sympathy.
The Prussian Government have stopped all legal
proceedings against Bongo.
The Queen's accouchment is expected to take
place at Buckingham Palace, about the middle of
May.
\ The quantity of cotton twist and yarn exported
from England in 1845, was 135,144,865 pounds,
and in value £6,963,235.
The number of German emigrants on their way
to the Atlantic ports this season,has been estimated
et 80,000.
Large quantities of cloverseed from the United
State., have been imported into Holland and other
European countries.
The winter, which was so unusually mild in Eng•
land, has been succeeded by a cold and dangerous
spring.
The poor in the Highlands of Scotland, are said
to be in a state of great destitution.
Letters received from Algiers state, that Abd.el•
Kader had once more outwitted the French Gen.
male.
The Oregon Question remained in sista quo;
the general opinion being in favor of a settlement
on the paralel of 49 degrees.
A HoAx.—The professedly official account of
the battle between Captain Walker, with his Ran
gers, and the Mexican army, as well as the list of
I deserters from the American camp, publiAhed in
some of the papers a few days since, turns oat to
be an arrant hoax. The persons mentioned in it
are generally residents of Philadelphia at tho re
lent time.
Wore Printers in the Field
The Journeymen Printers of Philadelphia held
a meeting on Wednesday lust, and passed a num
ber of resolutions expressive of their opinions in
relation to the Mexican War. We copy the fol
lowing :

tha City snd County of Philadelphia hold ourselves

Rio Grande, willing to spill their blood in a right
eous cam.

[From the Baltimore Sun, Extra.]
Our express reached Washington in advance of
every thing, and was communicated by the energet•
is correspondent of Baltimore Sun through Morse's
Magnetic Pelegroph.
The news is taken from the New Orleatia
yen° of die 17th inst., and an extra from the office
of the Mobile Advertiser, of the 18th.
There have been two engagements between Gen.
Taylor and Mexican 'troops, the firat Otenning on
the Bth inst., when Gen. Taylor was returning from
Point babel to hie camp opposite Matamorae. in
this the Mexicans, numbering front 5000 to 7000.
were repulsed. Our army was sleeping on the
field of battle, on which the next day 200 Mexi
cans were found dead, and several pieces of artille
ry, stores, &c., were captured by the American ar
my. Major Ringgold died from a wound received
in this action. Of the two days' battle, we can
only give the following particulars from the Pica
yune.
The U.S. Steamer Col.Harney arrived this Mor
ning, just as our paper was going to press, from
Brazes Santiago. She left on the 13th inst. The
news is glorious to our arms. She brings official
accounts of a second battle between the Mexicali
and 'ho American forces, which took place on die
9th of May, commencing at half past 3 P. M.,
within 3 miles of Camp Taylor.
The action was on the edge of a ravine, and one
mile from the chapparel, which was near 12 mike
in width. The Mexicans commenced the action
with their artillery, which was posted sou to sweep
a narrow passage through which Gen. Taylor was
advancing,, there being a swamp on the other hand.
Gen. Taylor immediately ordered' a charge le the
teeth of the enemy's destructive fire, and' the troops
I promptly responding, carried the enemy's guns at
the point of the bayonet. So sudden and impel
uous was the attack, that General Arista had no
time to save his papers, which, with all his corres
pondence, fell into the hands of General Taylor.
The action lasted ohe hour and a half, in which
time six hundred Mexicans were killed or wounded
and the Americans took three hundred prisoners,
and eight pieces of Artillery.
The Americans lost in the notch about sixty-two
killed and wounded. Among the killed were Col,
Mclntosh, Lieut. Cochran by the bursting of a shell,
Lieut. Inge, and one or two others, *how names
are not given.
Col. Kane, Liouts. Gates, Vefbank, Hooe, Lu
ther and others, were among the Wounded.
We regret to say that Ma or Ringgold, who was
Wounded on the 7th inst., died on the 10th, and
was buried with military honors.
The total loss of the Mexicans in both actions
was at least twelve hundred.
The Mexican forces amounted to at least 6000
men, while that of the American did not exceed
1600 men.
An exchange of prisoners took place subsequent
to the battle, by which Capt. Thornton and Lieut..
Hardee and Kano were released. Lieut. Doss was
hot demanded.
Among the prisoners taken by Gen. Taylor was
Gen. Veja. For him two American officers were
offered in exchange, but it was declined to give him
up, save in exchange for an officer of equal rank,
whenever one should be taken.
Gin. Veja was allowed to be accompanied by one
of his aids, a Lieut. Colonel, as a friend.
The Mexican army was so confident of victory
that every preparation had been made to celebrate
it, but all their preparations fell into the hands of
the Americans.
The brave and gallant Msior Brown died
from a wound received in his thigh by the
explosion of one of the enemy's shells. H is
death is deeply deplored by the Army.
In their tight many of the Mexicans
took to the river, and were drownded in
their attempts to swim it.
•

whole force. Ile started the next morn.
ing for Point Isabel, Bud arrived there nit
the evening of the 10th, without molesta•
tion.
On the morning of the I tth he started
