Washington-, March 20, 11, P.M. The New Orleans Ficaynncof the 13th received to-night contains some most a larming reports from Gen. Taylor's com--mand, in a shape .more -definite than in smy of the prececdmg rumors. The schooner Cinderella arrived at N. Orleans, ' brings reports that Gen. Tay lor, had heen attacked in his position at .Aqua Ntera, and driven hack towards Sal lillo, to the pass of Rinconardo, but no authority is given for these statements -but such" as are professedly founded upon contradictory and living reports. Even these however, attest the gallantry of Gen. f aylor s resistance. It is stated that he lost 2,000 men in the action, but that the Mexican loss was still creator amounting to four thou sand. The reports go so far even as to claim the victory for the Americans. Among the passengers, by the Cinder ella was an officer of the army, He con fused his inabilities to inform the editor f the Pica v tine as to what had occurred In relation to the news from Saltillo, he did not know himself whether or not an action had taken plrce. The rumors received at Maiamoras were innumerable and conflicting. It was said that despatches had been receiv ed from Gen. Taylor as late as the 25th of February; but this was beliered to be impossible. The communications be tween Monterey and Camargo are com pletely cut eff say all ths rumors and can only be re-ope;ied by a considerable force. Both the Americans and Mexi cans on the Rio Grande are in a state of preat excitement. The alarm was increa sed by the interruption of communica tions, and consequent uncertainty in ob taining intelligence. The stale of sus pense which this occasioned was most painful. All hands were placed at work in Camargo and Brazos strengthening the work s and throwing up new defences. Jest as the Cinderella was leaving B ra zor, the Picayune's informant learned that two Mexican spies had been taken there, lie did not hear what disposition ' had been made of them. The Matsnioras flng of the "3d instant, fays, that the reports of an action having i laken place were fully credited in that ci-' ty. It is said, however, that there arc jnany army officers there who are totally incredulous in relation to them and even the Flag is at a loss how to believe some of "the generally credited reports. The Flag says: "Our town has been thrown into a state of excitement, by the reports constantly arriving, relative to thepirilous condition of Gen. Taylor's division of ihearmy. The rumors are so vague and cor.fused that we hardly know what to leiieve. That a battle 'had been fought no ens czn danbt but how it resulted, "or what danger impends on the line of the Rio Grange, are matters involved in most perplexing uncertainty. We give what appears to be the most authentic accounts T'Teived from the scat of hostilities. Gen. Taylor, while at Aqua Nueva with 5,000 men w-.-.s rtt i-Ued on the 22d ult., by a ferce of 1 1,000 men. Finding he could not maintain his position, he made Ids retre-it to Saltillo, covering his wagon train. Here he wa3 assaulted again, and eu obstinate action 'took- place in the streets, involvings heavy loss to the Mex icans, before the Americans again com- . i -i . .i: . nenceu ins:r retrogress uwvemenr. tse fore reiirirg vfrcm Saltillo.'Gcn. T. des troyed all the public stores which he was fMelo take with him. He then continu-J-i retreat to th 7?.?? of Rmronado, when he was pgain attacked, and succeeded in heating off the enemy. Here nil rumors rr.d letters leave him. Once . in Monte rev, r.vl lie would be safe: but his abili ty" to r-ccomplifh sucli a movement was rlte.rrther prcWomalicsl, as the Mexican troops were swanr.iug in every direction.

"A merchant in Camargo, writing to a friend in this place, nnder date of the 25th says, that an express had just arrived from Monterey with information that there was fijjhting at Saltillo. The Mexicans had taken Moran, capturing a large train of Wagons and 130 men A large number of mules were aiso taken. Captain Mc Cullough was in command of the po3t. Eight thousand Mexican cavalry were on this side of the mountains, and things in general were turned upside down. From the .Pittsburgh American. LATER FROM THE ARMY. Gen. Taylor certainly surrounded by 20, 000 Mexicans commanded by Santa An naAll communications cut ofT Battle reported of three days continuance Great excitement on the Rio Grande. By an arrival at New Orleans, late in telligence has been received' from the mouth of the Rio Grande. Dr. Jarvis, of the United Stales Army, came passen ger with despatches for our Government. He left Camargo on the 2d of March, at which time nothing later had been heard from the annv for several davs. On the 23th of Februarv, Dr. Jarvis left Camargo for Monterey, with seventy wagons, containing supplies, &c, and es corted by Col. Marshall's Kentucky vol unteers, .and twenty of the 2d Dragoons. They had only proceeded about five miles when they received orders recalling them and they returned. The cause of their recall was the arri val at Camargo of an Express from Gen. Taylor ordering all the trains to be stop ped as 5,000 Mexican Cavalry were known to be ia and near the .town of China. ' : The express brought intelligence that General Taylor was beyond Saltillo, sur rounded by the Mexicans. Santa Anna was in command, and he had demanded Gen. Taylor to surrender. The old vet eran replied "come and lake me." San to Anna rejoined by saying he had 20, 000 troops'with him. and if Gen. Taylor did not surreuder he would cut the Amer ican army to pieces. This was on the 22d of February, when the Express left. Since then nothing di rect has been heard but reports brought by Mexicans. These reports say that Gen. Taylor had retreated from Aqua Nueva to Saltillo with the loss of six can nons. It wa3 feared that a detachment of the 3d regiment of Ohio Volunteers, under Colonels Morgan and Irving, had been cut off by 3000 Mexican troops. Norgan was at Serai vo, with seven companies on the 23 J of February, the Mexicans occupying Marin. On that day Irving left to join Morgan who evacuated Serai vo on the next day destroying all the stores and supplies lie could not take with him, and must on the route have en countered the enemy. It is reported also that a train of 160 wagons, which left Camargo on the 16th of February fir Monterey, loaded with provisions and clothing. Was captured near Rames, with its escort. This report wasbraught by Mexican Muleteers. These muleteers also report that a great battle has been fought between Gen. Tay lor at Santa Anna, which continued three days, with great loss on both sides. Gen. Taylor had sent a messenger to Tampico for reinforcements. It was feared that all the American troops had sailed. If so, it was considered as very unfortunate, as it was the only point from whica assistance could come for his re lief. Mexicans report that Gen. Taylor re pulsed Santa Auna, and the latter lost 2000 men. From all accounts it is pretty certain that a battle has been fought, and that thus far he contest has been favorable to the American arms. There is not much doubt that General Taylor has an enemy both in his front and in his rear, each superior to his whole force. His situation is therefore eminently critical. The Mexican inhabitants are abandon ing the Rio Grande, fearing the approach of their own army, more than the pres ence of the American troops. Camargo is strongly fortified, and was considered safe. The report of McCul iough's capture has proved unfounded. LATER FROM THE ARMY NEWS FROM GEN. TAYLOR. Call for 50,000 Troops Procla mation of tiik Gov. of Louisiana. Washington, March 228 P. M. The SouiVm mail is in, and brings still later news from the army. The dates from Brazos Santiago are to" the 12th inst. Tii reports previously broushl of GcnTaylar having retreated to Monte rey, p.re renewed by this arrival, and also the statement that he hnd lost six pieces cf cannon and a large number of men, but nothing certain has been ascertained. It is only a repetition of rumors. The communication between the Bra zos and General Tavlor was entirely cut off. Col. Curtis from Camargo, has sent an extraordinary and urgent Despatch to the States for reinforcements amounting to 50,000 men. He calls on Louisiana for ten regiments. Gov. Johnson in response has issued his Proclamation for raising the 10,000 men required from that State. Il was currently reported, at the Bra zos that eighteen hundred Mexican troops were, advancing on that place. . Down to the 4th inst, there has been no attack on Camargo. The various reports which have arri ved so liberally cf h!c d?out the battle be tween Santa Anna and Gen. Taylor, are reiterated by his arrival. Col. Cartis .ii-s he has no communication with, or messages from Gen Taylor, siuco the22d of February, the latest news brought by Dr Jams. . It was rumored this evening about Washington, that - despatches have" been received at the War department from the Army, containing an account of the battle. Rumor says that Gen Taylor was victori ous. All this is very doubtful. , , : The New Orleans papers are full of rumors relating to the movements of the army and the Mexicans, but they are on ly rumors and not worth Telegraphing. We shall have something reliable very soon. " . LATER FROM TAMPICO. The brig Ann Still has arrived in the river from Tampico, having sailed on the 3d inst. To Major Burns, who came passenger in hex, we are indebted fc? our correspondence, which we subjoin. Editorial Correspondence of the Pica-: yune.3 Tampico, Februarv 23, 1817 8 o'clock, P. M. This morning the U. S. steamer Edith, from Brazos Santiago, with Gen.' Worth and staff and two companies of troops on board, touched off the bar at the mouth of our river, coining to anchor two miles outside, and sent despatches up to Gen. Patterson.- The Edith being liound for Lobos Island, sailed on her course at half past 2 P. M. The IJ. S. steamer Alabama is to sail to-morrow with Gen. Patterson, staff and troops. The steamer Virginia, with Gen. Pillow, stall and troops. It is probable that by the last of this week all the forces to leave will have saileJ. Whether or not there be a battle any where else, however, it seems to be pret ty certain that we shall have one at Vera Cruz, End before we get to Vera Cruz. It is known here that the enemy are pre paring to give us a warm reception on landing. In the rear of Anton Lizardo they have built strong fortifications, too far for the guns of our squadron to bear upon them, but in reach of the point ot landing. On these fortifications very heavy guns are mounted, and other arrangements arc made and being made, to make a despe rate stand against the landing of our troops It is also to be expected that the city of Vera Cruz is in a condition to make bloody resistance. ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGIS LASU RE WHIG ECONOM Y-S A VI NG OF $20,000 TO THE STATE LOCOFOCO EXTRA VA G ANCE. The session of the Legislature which is now about drawing to a close, has been a short, economical, working session. The Whigs, have nobly discharged their duty to the Slate and the people, and will now return to tncir constituents, to oe greeted with the welcome plaudit of ' well done good and faithful servants." But seventy -one days have elapsed since the Legislature convened, and more impor tant business has been transacted, than would have been accomplished by a Lo cofoco Legislature in six months. Not withstanding the disgraceful attempts of the minority to interrupt and impede the progress of business, the Whigs, actuated by the purest motives, and looking only to the interests of the Commonwealth, faithfully and fearlessly performed their whole duty. The present session has bpen most emphatically a WORKING SESSION and the result is a saving to the Stale of not less than TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS! Such is Whig economy, and such the benefit re sulting to the State and the petiole from he election of a WHIG LEGISLA TURE. The Locofocos preach economy, but the Whigs practice it. As Whigs and Peunsylvanians we feel proud of our Whig Legislature, and are confident that it will meet the hearty and cordial appro bation of the tax-burthened people of the State, who have for years been suffering from the corruption, extravagance, and mal-adminstration of Federal Locofoco ism. Our good old Commonwealth has been shaken to its very centre by the ge nius of this thing called Locofocoism corrupt'on, like a horse full of high feed ing, madly hath broken loose, and bears down all before it the State debt has been fearfully increased, and our honest, toil-worn Farmers and Mechanics op pressed with Locofoco taxation, until for bearance has almost ceased to be a virtue. Locofocoism has proved a curse to the Commonwealth the people see it all around them, and are reminded of it in every day's experience. But thanks, the reign of Locofocoism is near its end. We already see the dawning of a brighter day. Pennsylva nia poor lax-ridden, humbugged, dis graced Pennsylvania is destined to be a WHIG STATE! The signs of the times uuerrimriv indicate the election of a WHIG GOVERNOR and WHIG LE GISLATURE by a majority unpreceden ted in the political histbry of the State. Then will our ancient Commonwealth speedily be restored to the purity and prosperity which characterized her in her most palmy days. '-Whig principles pro perly carried out by a Whig administra tion will raise Pennsylvania from her pre sent embarrassed and ruinous condition, and elevate her to the lofty and honorable position she was destined to occupy a mong the Commonwealths of the Nation. Daily Intelligencer. ; APPOINTMENTS BY CANAL COMMISSIONERS. John Smith, Supervisor Western por tion of the Western Division. - George A. Kurtz, Weighaiasler, " Pitts burg. Joseph L. Williams, Collector," Wil haraepcrt. . - CTTho Uniontown Democrat of the ( 25th inst., has the following postscript: Gen. Butler who passed through thi3 place yesterday morning says he has no fear for Gen. Taylor, that the Rinconada pass is some 60 miles in length and not more than half a mile wide at any place, so that'it would be" impossible for Santa Auna s large body to out-flank htm. 1 he presumption is that if it has come to the worst with him, he has fallen back to Monterey where his defence would be ample and his provisions sufficient to last 60 days. The murder of Gov, Bent and ottier American citizens at bantare is 1 fully confirmed. It appears from the annual statement of Lowell manufactures that there are 13 manufacturing corporations in the city, embracing a capitalstock of $1 1,130,000, and numbering 45 mills. These mil's employ 7,915 female and 3,310 male op eratives. There are other manufactur ing establishments in the city not in corporated, employing a capital of 6310, 750, and 1000 hands. The new coton mills are nearly ready for- operation. One buijt by ths Merrimuck Co., to con tain 23,421 spindles and 610 looms; and one built bv the Hamilton Co., of sufa cient capacity for 20,000 spindles and 400 looms. , . It is said that Lord Palmcrstpn is about to demand the liberation of 5,000 ne groes, whom he affirms are English sub jects, detained in slavery ia the Island of Cuba.

TTTHE subscriber wishes to inform the JL public in general, thai he is, and will continue in ihe Foundry business in ihe lovn of Mount Pleasant. He will also continue the manufactura of all the different numbers of ih "Woodcock Self-sharpening Plough' manufactured previous 1o last August by the firm of "Miller and Lippeneotis." In addition to ihp five numbers of ihe above plough, he offers another improved number, which is styled the No. G. This Plough is considered by persons of much experience in ploughing 10 bo decidedly superior lo any plough in use. The reason why this plough claims tho superiority over other plough?, is becauso of its strength, its light draught in plough ing, and fur being capable of lasting a greater length of lime, the strength of ihe point, it being successfully secured from breaking or ever becoming looso while ploughing. Mr. Woodcrck has atteuded a number of Fairs with the above named plongh, and received the premium over all other ploughs. The subscriber will also keep on land in connexion with the above ploughs a general supply of Plough Irons suiting all the different numbers of the plough. Ho will also furnish sn assortment of Ploughs and Irons to all the Agents thrcughoat the counties of Westmore land, Fayette and Somerset, who have been doing buti,es fur the firm of Mil ler & Lip;eneot!s.
