New ORLEANS, AUGUST %, ls45.
| We are most anxiously waiting further advices
from the army under Gen. TAYLOR. The city yes
terday filled with ominous reports of all kinds,
even to the extent Of defeat of our troops in ge-
neral action. Bnt comparison of dates, and the
circumstances and position of affairs at the last
advices, were sufficient to show the absurdty
of the rumors, to say nothing of the fact that nc
arrival could be traced by which the information
had been received The discussion however, in
consequence Of these mo has developed the extraordinary
fact, that though Gen. TAYLOR has considerable body
artillery with him, they have all been down there ,ci
ont their guns II appears that all of the guns tha
the different detachments had with them their espectv,
points of embacaon from the United States either
of the proper kind caber from other
not suitable and that others to supply their place were tc
be shipped from the North, but which had yet arrived


II certainly very proper mode to send the Second
Dragoons under COL TwIGGs, by land, rather than bring
them by steamboats, eight hundred miles to this place.
and then equal distance from hence by voyage.
have been expensive tedious and dangerous to have
adopted this mode, with five hundred horses but they
certainly should have put them motion sufficiently early to
have arrived about the the infantry, and not to
have left the latter entirely without support of either artillery
or cavalry.


You well know my sentiments all this Texas business
that was from the first opposed annexation, measure
which honestly believed injurious to the Union large and
that this advance of troops until annexation had been
consummaed, unconstitutional assumption of power
but STILL with all these feelings, it would be matter OF poig-
nant regret if when the glorious banner Of
try had been unfured in the presence Of foe that il
should under any circumstances from any be COM
PEELED to make rerograde movement and shall feel nervous
anxious until hear that gallant little army have been
joined by their cavalry and received full supply Of field
tlery after which, further anxiety need be entertained
from any force the Mexcans bring against them in that
quarter sincerely hope that there will be fighting all
on the subject and, any rate that shall not be put in
the wrong by being obliged from circumstances fight until
Texas actually annexed but the nation has determined
annexation all opposition that ought not
only to cease but all u us respective Spheres should
do every thing legally s--, and promote it, and
when compleisd sead Asnioo ten attempt any hostile
movement Tesaa uzS.s.5 Government should be
prepared crush sAA The four winds of heaven
1t rather eurOu. ta h - ss.s exciting movements
hear nothing whss Teasns themselves doing to
wards assisting 10 pscesi @ asasnd their soil.


The steamship Aatams len here yesterday with five s
companies Of the Th infantry and companies (each up
wards OF hundred men) Louisiana volunteer artillery wit
eight brass field pieces The Alabama is fine goin
steamer Of 800 TONS and will down to Corpus Christi il
forty eight hours Even the few light she takes wi
no doubt be most acceptable arrival The Quarermasts
to-day purchased another steamboat for the Goyemmea
the they had previously sent down found Of to
large daught of water for the shoal rivers and nle on ha
coast They require, learn, two still lighter boats
the smallest class and draught water and, being able


find suitable here have sent up the river in search


hem as it vtay important have ample for wate
transportation and debarng the troops, and conveyance


stores and supplies give celebrity and efficiency to thei
movements.


The arrival hope, will bring advice that Col TwIees
will shortly Join Gen. TAYLOR. His route, after crossing the
Sabine first for Austin, and from thence to the Nueces
the whole distance nearly quite six hundred miles.


We have nothing from Matamoras than already ad-
vised you received by the schooner Augusasay
the 10Th instant Maamoras, you aware, lies
the hank of the Rio Grande and the distance between
that point and Gen Taylors position at Corpus Christi is
about hundred and thirty miles, prairie very tle
better than an arid desert Even if Gen. ARIsrA has,
ported three thousand within days march Of that
city, q do no, believe he has onethird Of that numbe he
will not attempt with such force to march against Gen.
Taylor Il struck all very strange and improbable the
report by the Augusta that Cen PAREDEs should such
time be marching on California with five thousand men, and
the whole OF the press here fell into the from confoundng
Monterey Mexican city thirty forty leagues from Maa-
moras with Monterey, seaport in California where Com.
JoSKs made his celebrated demonstration two three
years Should these two armies OF Paredes and Arsa
form junction, and be any thing like the numbers reported
it is possible If they have correct information of Gen. Tayos
force and circumstances that they may attempt coup de
main upon him do not however, think it all probable
would require time to collect supplies and OF
transportation the praire and the march itself would
occupy six eight days But if the einorcemens
the way join Gen Taylor from various points the Allan


tic board should have arrived he could take up his former
position ST. Josephs Isand and where believe portion
of his command still encamped 1t would, however, be
very mortying he compelled make such movement
Our Northern mail closes such early hour in the
morning, that compelled to close letters the day
previous. Should, however, any arrive in the mean
time, will make you separate communication, and have it
sent by the boat TO be mailed at Mobile.
