departure of tliiscompany, giving inform-taion tothe Mexicans-of their march, andofthe amount of their money. It was not,

that a treaty was concluded at Torrey'strading house on the 18th ult. with suchIndian dbiefs as were in attendance, in-

Still Later.-The steamer Mary Kings-land arrived yesterday afternoon from theBrazos Santiago, whence she sailed on the

evening of the 27th tilt. By her we havereceived a few additional items of intelli-gence. On the 26th, about 400 mountedTexan Rangers and 200 infantry-amongthe latter a company of 80 German rifle-men, etnigrants to Lavacca-arrived bythe way of Padre Island. They area fine

body of men. The party of Dragoonsand Rangers that went in pursuit of the

retreating Mexican forces captured a num-

ber of mules and camp equi page.It is now said that the Mexicans have

retreated to Rianoso, a town about sixtymiles above Matamoras, near the river,and there is no doubt entertained amongthe dicers that they will there give us

battle. If Arista will wait a short time,there is very little doubt that Gen. Tay-lor will not be backwtrd in giving him an

opportunity to stand his ground.The Mexican wounded at Matamoras

were found in a horrible condition, and our

General has given their case his attention.He had some of the captured Mexicanproperty sold, and the proceeds appropri-ated for their comfort and convenience.Cigars, cigarritas and 'monte' cards can

be had in any qtautities, in our camp,'free gratis for nothing'-captured.

From N. 0. Delta, June 4.LATER FROM MEXICO.

By the brig Helen McLeod, CaptainMtlarston, arrived yesterday from VeraCruz, we have papers from that city to

the 24th uIt.. heing three days later thanthose brought by her barque Louisianathe day before yesterday.The editor of the Indicador of the 24th

tilt. says that he has been informed, fromt very reliable source, that the steamers

Montezuma and Guadalope had actuallysailed from Havana under the Britsh fag.The same paper of the 22d ult contains

the letter of Capt. Andrew Fitzhugh, ofthe steamer Mississippi, to the comnand-er at Vera Cruz, giving notice that theport of Vera Cruz is under blokade.The notice is dated 20th of May. To

this the lndicador asks: "Aud are we to

spoken of as an immortal example ofbravery? No ! a thousand tites no. Andbe he a thousand times cursed, who insuch a trying time as this abandons hispost on the walls of heroic Vera Cruz!"The editors go on to say that the Mexicanpeople should have no further considera-tion for their enemies, and the cannons ofthe Castle of San Juan de Uloa should befired at the first American vessel thatcomes within their- range.The same joulrnal, referring to the order

A "SQUABBLE" AT SEA.Captain Scott. of the schooner Catba-

rine, arrived at New York from St. Jacode Cuba, gives the following account of astrange proceeding on the part of a Frenchnaval officer-which perhaps the said oficer will hear of, by and by, to his discom-fort:'On the 'morning of sailing from St. Ja-

go, and within gunshot.of the More Cas-tie, the schooner Catharine was met bythe French war steamer Toniteere, fromSt. Dominigo 'bound in ; she past at firsteconsiderably out of hailing distace, andvery mach nearer than she was to haifadozen other vessels which had come outin company.

After she had run in about a mile andreceived a pilot, close to the shore, shewas observed to bake round and mane'vre sotne time, and at intervals fired twognns; she then stood for the C., camenear and hailed in the 'following words:"You d-d rascal, hoist your flag." Theanswer was, that orders given in such in-suiting language would not be obeyed.-Other abusive phrases and threats were

repeatedly made to fire inte her unless itwas immediately done.The boat with a lieutenaut was twice

sent on board with a message that, unlessthe schooner set her flag, all the force atthe steamer's command would he usedto make her do it; that her commanderhad the power to send the schooner to thebottom, and that he would do it. To allof which the same answer was returned,the second time in writing, as follows :"To the commander of the French war

steamer 'T'onteere."Sir-At the first salutation you call me

"a d-d rascal." Until you apologise forsuch insulting language, I will not hoistmy lag,

before the steamer came up-but no suchnor itny explattaiion was given. only theintention of insulting his flag which hercaptain tlbarged was denied. Exceptinga Spanish schooner, no othei vessel inright bad Ir flag set.The steamer's mandvres and guns wore

tupposed to be aignals of communicationwith the shore, and could nor ho uder-ttood us meant for the schooner, and whenthe came cear it it was thtought she wvan-ed to put letters on hoard, or ask for someufurmtation.
