or A friend has favored us with the
New Orleans Bee, of Wednesday last, 22d.
The rumor that Mexico had declared war,
and that the American fleet had blockaded
her ports, is contradicted by the arrival of
the "Col. Harney," at the city, which ves-
sci was said to have brought the news to
the BaliZe.


The "CoI. Harney'' left Brassos Santa
go on the 10th. Gen. Taylor had not budg-
ed an inch from his first position opposite
Matamoras. On the 18th Gen. Ampudia
arrived at Natamoras with 5000 men, ma
king the Mexican force there 5000. On
the 18th, Ampudia informed Gen. TAYLOR
that he must abandon his position, or he
would consider it tantamount to a declara-
ton of war. OF course, Gen. T. refused ;
and on the 18th Ampuda informed him
that he would not act further without posi-
tive orders from his government.
