TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES !
[From the U. S. Gazette.]
Still Later from the .nrmy—The news
of the battle confirmed—Critical posi
tion of General Taylor's .4rmy.
We received by Telegraph last night
the subjoined despatch, which confirms
in a great degree, the news published by
us in an Extra yesterday morning. It
will be seen that large bodies of the en
emy occupy a menacing position, and
that General Taylor, though combatting
with terrible odds against him, has
fought with gallant bravery. The con
firmation must excite the most intense
interest, and create a painful suspense
until further advices are received,
The U. S. schooner Arispe, Captain
West, arrived at New Orleans on the
afternoon of the 13th. She left the
mouth of the Rio Grande on the 6th,—
Doctor Jarvis, of the Army, cotne pas
senger, bearing despatches to Govern
ment from Col. Curtis, who is in com
mand of Camargo.
Dr. Jarvis left Camargo on the 2c14----
Nothing had then been heard at that
place of Gen. Taylor for several days,
The following items were furnished
to the N. 0. Picayune by Dr. Jarvis—
they are of events of which he was per
sonally cognizant.
Dr. J. left Camargo on the morning of
the 26th ult. for Monterey, in company
with a train of 70 wagons, escorted by
Marshall's Company of Kentucky Cav
alry and a detachment of 20 men from
the 2d dragoons. They had not pro
ceeded 5 miles when an order overtook
them to return, issued in consequence
of instructions received at Camargo by
express from Col. Whitney at Taylor's
Head Quarters, directing all trains to be
stopped, as information had been recei.
ved that four or five thousand of the en
einy's Cavalry were in, or near China,
and that Caidereyta was already occu
pied by them. Accompanying Colonel
Whitney's instructions was Gen. Tay
lor's order, dated Agua Nueva, Feb. 21st,
dpubtless calling for reinforcements.
At 2 o'clock P. M. on the 27th. anoth
er express arrived at Camargo from the
Quarter Master at Monterey, stating
that an express had just arrived from
Saltillo on the 23d bringing information
that Santa Anna had sent a summons to
Gen. Taylor demanding his surrender.
Gen. Taylor told him "to come and take
him."
Santa Anna stated "that he had 20,-
000 men and if Taylor did not surren
der his army immediately, he would cut
there to pieces."
The note concludes by stating " that
the express which left after dark last
night, says, that Taylor was giving the
Mexicans—fits."
This may be considered as the last
official communication received--all sub
sequent information being derived from
the Mexicans.
A note front the Postmaster at Mon
terey, says that Taylor had fallen back
from Ague Nueva to Saltillo. Dr. Jar
vis considers this information correct.
The Mexicans say that Gen. Taylor
lost six pieces of cannon at Ague Nueva.
Gen. Marshall had gone to fortify the
Pass Los Muertos, and large quantities
of ammunition had been dispatched
from Monterey to Saltine.
It was greatly feared at Camargo, that
detachments of the Third Ohio Regi
ment, under Colonel's Morgan and Ir
ving, had been cut off by a force of three
thousand Mexicans. Col. Morgan had
seven companies at Seralvo, and Colonel
Irvin had three at Marin. The enemy
is said to have occupied Marin on the
afternnoon of the 23d, on the morning
of which day Irving left to join Morgan.
Col. Morgan left Seralvo on the 24th,
after having destroyed all the supplies
which he wits unable to carry with him
He must have encountered the enemy
on his route.
A train of 120 wagons, which left
Camargo on the 16th with provisions
and clothing, is said to have been attack
ed on the 24th near Ramos, and, with
the escort, captured. This report was
brought by a mule driver, who escaped.
Reports, most of them to be traced
to the Mexicans, were in circulation at'
Camargo when Dr. Jarvis left, stating
that a battle was at that time being
fought between Santa Anna and General
Taylor, and had continued there for
three days. Great loss was reported to
have been sustained by our forces, but
—still greater by the Mexicans.
In addition to the above, the Picayune
learns from Dr. Jarvis, that a bearer of
despatches left Camargo for Tampico,
and sailed from the mouth of the Rio
Grande in the steamer McKim. It was
feared he could not reach Tampico be
fore all the troops had departed, which
would be lamentable, as that is the only
quarter to which Gen. Taylor can look
for reinforcements.
A letter from an officer of the Army,
dated on board a steamer on the Rio
Grande ' 65 miles above Matamoras, at
3 o'clock on the 3d inst. says that the
Mexicans report that Gen. Taylor had
repulsed Santa Anr.a, and that the latter
had sustained a loss of 2000 men.
From all accounts there can be no '
doubt that a battle has been fought, and
reports, thus far, are favorable to the
American army; but it must be borne
in mind that 5000 men cannot cope with
20,000, forever.
It is certain that Gen. Taylor has nn
army in front and one in the rear of him'
~~
Each of which is larger than his whole
command.
The whole valley of the Rio Grande
is in a most critical state. The Mexican
families aro abandoning their homes in
crowds. Matamoras and Camargo are
stripped of their native inhabitants, who
dread the approach of their own army
more than the presence of ours. No
lears are entertained for the safety of
Camargo, which is strongly fortified.—
The reported capture of McCullech's
rangers is unfounded.
Later and Important from the .firmy—
Reports of yesterday confirmed—Taylor
said to have reached .Monterey—Requi
sition for Troops.
WASHINGTON, March 22, 8 o'clock:
The steamship Palmetto arrived at
New Orleans, on the 14th, from Galves
ton, which place she left on the 12th,
bringing advices from the Brazos to the
7th, one day later than before received.
The previous reports are only confirmed
tvith slight alterations and additions.—
Gen. Harney and his staff left on the''
sth, after constructing fortifications at
the Brazos. The next day an express
was sent to request him to disembark,
but the ship had sailed.
Major Thomas arrived on the sth,
and taking command, declared the town
under martial law. All the citizens
were enrolled and armed. On the 7th
an express arrived from the mouth of
the Rio Grande, stating that an armed
force of the enemy were marching from
San Fernando, to attack that place with
a battery of two six pounders. The
enemy were 1800 strong, under the corn ,
mend of Canales. There not being a
musket at the mouth, arms and ammuni ,
tion were immediately sent round ac
companied by Major Thomas. News
had reached the Brazos that General
Taylor had made good his retreat to
Monterey with the loss of six pieces of
Artillery, at Rinconada Puss. Nothing
was known of the loss on either side.
No doubt was entertained that General
Taylor can sustain himself as long as his
supplies last, but it Was beyond dispute,
that all communication with him is now
cut off.
The numbers of the enemy are said
to be overwhelming and cominanded by
Santa Anna in person. The enemy are
said to be in considerable force about
Matamoros and an attack was hourly ex
pected.
Gen. Taylor has made requisition on
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama for ten regiments to proceed forth.;
with to the Rio Grande.
The New Orleans Bulletin says ; that
the quota for Louisiana is two regiments
of infantry which would leave immedi ,
ately.
(From the North American.]
LATER FROM TAMPICO,
Revolution in Mexico !—Preparations to
attack Vera Cruz--./Idditional Mexican
Fortifications—No Battle with General
Taylor.
WASHINGTON, March 25-6 P.M:
Two mails from New Orleans have ar
rived by the Southern mail of this even ,
ing. The Picayune issued an extra on
the 18th, containing late and important
news received by the arrival there of
the schooner Home, from Tampico,which
place she left on the Bth, bringing letters
to the 7th inst.
All the troops intended for the attack
of Vera Cruz had sailed, and a force of
two thousand left as the garrison of that
town.
The two most important features of
the news received, is, first, that General
Taylor has fallen back upon Saltillo and
Monterey without any general action
having taken place, and second, that a
' revolution had occurred at the City of
Mexico, the result of which is the expul
sion of Gomez Ferias from power.
The intelligence as to Gen. Taylor's
retreat rests entirely upon Mexican re
ports, but Mr. Kendall announces the
retreat without an action in so confident
a manner that the Picayune places very
great reliance upon it.
The Mexican papers, however, say
that Santa Anna had cut off Gen. Tay
lor's retreat by interposing the forces of
Generals Minon and Torrejon. Mr.
Kendall says in, his letter---. , By the
looks and actions •of the Mexican popu
lation, I know there is no truth in the
report that Santa Anna has beaten Gen.
Taylor in a pitched battle ; on the con
trary, their whole appearance would, if
anything, indicate the reverse. Good
news shows too plainly in the faces of
the people to be mistaken."
The Revolution in the city of Mexico
took place on the night of the 26th, by
the National Guards joining the Clergy.
Gomez Ferias was deposed, and Sales
selected as President, while Santa Anna
was continued as General-in-Chief of the
Mexican army.
A letter from Santa Anna, dated Feb
ruary 17th, while he was at Sal Salvador,
announces his intention to give General
Taylor battle on the 21st, at Agua Nueva
and represents his troops as full of en
thusiasm.
Vera Cruz has been fortified by dig
ging a ditch around it. Many families
have deserted that city, and moved into
the interior.
Tampico is garrisoned by the Balti
more battalion and the Louisiana volum‘
teers,
From all the accounts, it appears that
Gen. Taylor's movements are still invol-
Ved in mystery.
FOREIGN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF WIZ 1113121ANZIL
TWENTY EIGHT DAYS LATER
FROM EUROPE.
The Steam ship Hibernia arrived at
Boston on Saturday, 20th inst., bringing
twenty-eight days later news from Eu
rope. _ _
The London money market of the 3d
inst. was as follows :—We have had an
unsteady market since our last publica
tion ; but tending generally towards a
decline in the price of consols. The de
biebiatioti in exchequer bills has also
een considerable.
Thishas been partly owing to the con
tinued demand upon the Treasury for the
relief of Ireland, and the statement hi
the budget or Chancellorof the Bxelieq
uer's speech, which was read with great
attention, and though tilone, is never a
popular measure.
It appears to lie genarally conceded
that under al! the circumstances, the
ctiiir§d the government has resolved
upon, namely, to take a loan of £8,000,-
000, is the very best that could have
been adopted.
The biddings for the loan took place
on the Ist of March, at the Treasury,
When, as Messrs. Rothschild & Messrs.
Baring Brothers were the only bidders
on time, that Were satisfactory to the
government, the loan was divided be
tween thetn as offered, viz :—sB9 10s.
for tech hundred pound 3 per cent con
sole
The Corn trade has been in a very
fluctuating condition during the month
of Fetirtary—at the time of the sailing
of the Cambria, the pried of wheat con
tinued to give way, occasionally rapidly,
until from the commencement of the re
action—the reduction amounted alto
gether to about eight shillings or ten
shillings per quarter; and flour seven
shillings or eight shillings per barrel.—
It might be that this decline,
under the
:1
actual position of supply 11d demand,
was too rapid or commenced too early,
or that the nature of the discussions in
Parliament renewed the Confidence of
holders and warned the fears of buyers.
Towards the middle of the last month,
renewed confidence was observable, and
buyers again came for Ward from Ireland
to purchase heavily.
In consequence, since the upward
move again commenced, there has been
an advance on wheat of 'H to 6d per 70
pounds, and in flour of about 3s. 6d per
barrel. Oats and oatmeal remain steady
—but don't sell freely. Indiati corn has,
of late, given why one shilling to two
shillings per, 480 lbs., and beans two
shillings te, three shillings per quarter.
At our last market, the prices paying
tvere,for general runs of American wheat
11s. to 12s. per 70 lbs for American
flour, sweet, 395. to 4i25.• and sour ; 358.
6d. to 365, 6d: per barrel:
Indian corn, white, 695. to 705. ; and
yellow, 725, to 735. per 480 lbs. Egyp
tian beans, 455. to 50s. per quarter.
Irish oats, ss. 4d. to 68. Bd. per 45 lbs.
As to stocks, we make no comment;
no duties now payable, so th at they are
not so well ascertained : but, so far as
regards demand, the last market closed
steady ; although with less Urgency than
might have been expected.
Various rumors and opinions are afloat
as to the probable supply of bread-stuffs
which we cdn procure, during the pres
enhpeason of famine and distress.
from the most recent intelligence re
ceived from America, we believe that
there is good cause to expect that, with
the opening of the canals and rivers in
that countty, in the course of-the Spring,
we shall have numerous shipments of
all sorts ofiprovisions, an at, conse
quently, large supplies of a sorts will
reach these kingdoms. _ _
During the last eight or ten days, the
receipts of corn, &c., have been light,
and this, added to the continuance of
considerable exports to Ireland, has cau
sed the market, within the last two days,
to have a very firm aspect, and prices,
which gave way in the early part of last
week, have since regained, as regards
wheat and flour, all then lost.
Indian corn still' continues in great
requisition, and commands the high
prices of 695. to 725. per quarter.—
White, and other kinds of corn, are
cheaper.
The stock of American flour in this
port at the end of February was compu
ted at something undo'. 400,000 bbls.,
and 69,000 quarters of wheat.

CHINA & QUEENSWARE HOUSE,
THE subscribers, successors to S. TYN
DALE, would call the attention of the
Merchants and Residents of Huntingdon and vici
nity, to their stock of
CHINA AND QUEENSWARE,
Which we have no hesitation in saying is the larg
est in the United States, and which, in the greater
part, is made for, and imported by ourselves.
Any person haring used Queensware or China
for a number of years, will notice the general dete
rioration in the quality—this is owing to the great
ly reduced prices. In some of the manufactories,
where a good name has been established, and pride
taken in their character, no Rich inferiority it ob
served—from such houses have we constantly en
deavored to make our stock, and we are determined
to;sell our wares as low as any quality, whether
equal or inferior, can be sold in the U. S.
There is a prejudice against Chesnut Street,
raised from a false notion of higher prices. Our
rents on this street are lower than on any other
business street, and nothing else could possibly
make a difference. But no house can succeed
here that does not keep the best qualities of goods,
and this does not suit all—hence the prejudice.
We have every kind of Ware, from common
Painted Teas, Edged Plates, Mocha, Granite,
Printed, Flow' g Blue, &c. &c. to the finest China
and Glam.
We are ert*iclus to extend our business, and
lake every proper means of doing so—but not ma
king peritOnni application to strangers here, we
have no other means of doing it, than by the aid of
our old friends, by advertising, and by the quality
and prices of our goods.
