Gen. Taylor's engagement with Gen. Arista, occurred on 8th and 9th of May. 2,300 U. S. troop were opposed to 0000 Mexicans. The latter officially acknowl. edges the loss of 4,000 men, and all their artillery, bsjrcane, stores, dec. The loes of the Americans was 90 killed, 10 of whom were officers, (including tho gallant Major Ringold) and 140 wounded. " Matamoras is now in possession of the Americans ; Gene ral Taylor is on his way to Salteto and Mon terey with 0000 men, and we have very little doubt that within two months he will have 30,000 men ia the Capital and then make peaoe on his own terms," says a letter from Maxatlsn, dated July SO, 1840. All the ports in the Mexican gulf are now blockaded, hut the mails are allowed to paw. The catties of the port of Vera Cruz were to havo been bombarded by the American fleet on tho 4th of July last, but by last ad. vice, the attack had been postponed until the arrival of the Pennsylvania, 120, and the Ohio, 100 guns. The fleet then lying in line off the port, consisted of the frigates Cumberland, Potomac, and Rariton, 00 guns each ; steamers, Mississippi, and Princeton, sloop St. Marys, and brig Somers. California is in possession of the U. S. Naval forces in the Pacific, under the com mand of Commodore Stockton. According to the " Polynesian" of Aug. 8th, Captain Fremont was at Monterey with 170 rifle, men, preparing to go in quest of Castro and his troops, should that officer make further resistance.

DR. WHITE'S LETTERS. A scries of letters from Dr. Elijah White, in reference to Oregon, have appeared in the Washington Union, the government orga, .. We give tho subjoined extract from two of them: ' Washington, Feb. 0, 1840. To the Editor of Ike Union: Sir Since penning my last number, I have been apprised of the course pursued by our fresident in rejecting the proners oi Great Britain to arbitrate upon our rights to Oregon, and here beg leave to say, in an swer, to some grave questions from grave quarters, that as a representative delegated by their legislative body to speak forth their sentiment and wishes here, notwithstanding the citiaenaof Oregon foel inortined, chafed, and injured by the tardiness of government measures, they are true to the American eagle, and fully agree with the President in belief that Oregon i our. And, depend up on it, they will fight under his banner, to the pilling of the heart's blood, rather than yield to Great Britain what they oonoeive to be clearly ours. No, sir. let none doubt the right sentiments and feelings of our citixens ia Oregon. They are patriotic to the last degree ; and, though many of them are plain and unlettered.they are brave a Cesar; and I would to Heaven, the members of our press nt Congress would be induced at once to put into their bands the means to test their valor,- and, my bead for i should a proper occasion present itself to defend our flag and the land of their ndop. Uon, if they act not weli their part. 8ir, ws have our Gilliam, Applegates, Forils, Burnetts. LovsjoywJCentuoky, Mis. souri, and Rooky mountain boy murfngb little host of the roost frank, ingenuous, valo rons spirits any wham to be met. But, sir, I tremble for those, bra vs, honest, intrepid men; for, while I reflect that not long sine their little legislative body of thir teen members sat with .the .star-spangled banner waving over their heads in Oregon oity only nine, days' to pas twenty-five bill in due form, for the regulation of their inter, course, I her find ur national Congress sit ting, talking, and discussing a muoh longer time without, as yet, having adopted a single measure for their bansit.- . The advancement made in civilization by numerous tribes 'of Indians (n that remote and hitherto nenleoted portion' of our terri tory with so few advantages, is a matter of surprise. Indeed, the red men of that region would almost seem to be of a 'different order from those with whom'we have been in'mpreJ familiar intercourse. A few years since,' the face of a white man war almost unknown tothem. Now, through the benevolent poH. cy of the various Christian ehsrefcet, and ins inoetaugaue exertion of tbe missiona ries in theirsesploy, they bare prescribed and weU-adapted miss for their govsrnment, which are observed and respected tonne gree worthy of tbe urn tateUigent whites. They are turning their attention to agri cultural pursuits, and, wkh but few of taw nsBissary utensil in their pnssissiuu, al ready produos snsleient in some places to asset their wry want. Among some of the tribes, bunting baa been alasost entirely abandonsdsuany individuals looking wboU ly to tn soil for support. Tbe lands are represented aa .extremely fertile, and the climate healthy, agreeable, and uniform. ' But to the Christian churches and pious missionaries are we not alone indebted for our improved and advanced state in Oregon; for .while I ascribe much to the pious exer tions of those devoted rtuauonaries, in our, early struggles both for the white and In dians, and regard their cause the highest, snd noblest that ever engaged the heads or hearts of men, yet it is hat just to say that through tbe benevolent policy of the' Hud son Bay Company, a vast deal has, been ef fected to better the condition of both wntea and Indiana in that territory. It was one of tbeir ohief traders that first' taught tbe Keyuse tribe to lookup through nature to nature's God for light,, truth, and heaven: and itwas he, too, who gave tbe first lessons and .impulse to these poor red children of the 'forest in agriculture, which has been so successfully followed up by our esteemed friend Dr. Marcus Whitman, who with his intellectual lady, has been laboring with that interesting people for the last ten years.

BaAVTirtn.. -The Portuguese give the very poetical name of ejininf ( little angels) to young children, when they die; and con sidering that they are at once translated to heaven, without the unpleasant, passage through purgatory, instead of mourning r them, they rejoice, putting on tbeir gayest attire.; thus- at their funeral no nan nppeers in black, and the parent nre congratulated instead of oondoled with. How much more rational are they who thus, meet death with smiles, than those who look upon him aa tbe King of Terrors. ? i ""CAJcrHoa Laurel-The camphor laurel grows in great abundance, ana to a very considerable size, in the forests of Japan.
