 l8 The Mexican forces amounted to at least 6, ,OOO men, while those of the Americans did not exceed l6OO.

 An exchange of prisoners took place sub sequent to the battle, by which Capt. Thorn ston and Lieuts. Haroee and Kane were re- E leased. Lieut.. Deas was not demanded. Among the prisoners taken by Gen. Fay Tor was Gen. Vega. For him two Ameri- can officers were offered in exchange, but it was declined tc give him save in exchange for an officer of equal rank whenever one should be taken.

 The Mexican army were so confident of i. Victory, that every preparation had been made to celebrate it, but all their prepara- lions fell into the hands of the Americans.

 In their flight many of the Mexicans took to the river and were drowned in their at tempts to swim it.

 Gen. Taylor reached his camp the after noon after his army. Leaving there his whole force, he the next morning left for Pt. Isabel and arrived there on the evening of the 10th without molestation. On the evening of the l lth he started back to his camp opposite Matamoros. We need not say that he and his army are in fine spirits.

 Farther information has been received that the American Consul and all the Amer ican residents at Matamoros have been ar rested and sent to Saltill, a small town about l3O miles iiom Matamoros.
