Letters from Madrid of the sth state that prepara-

elections, and that the Ministry have sent to all the
authorities the most liberal mstnictions that the
electoral contest shall be perfectly free from official

It appears that General Schwalbach, after baying gained
trifling advantage at Vierra, which was dearly paid for,
advanced to attack the insurgents at Evora , he hoped to
dialodge them without firing a single shot. Ile was, how-
ever, boldly attacked by the insurrectional troops, completely
beaten, and driven back to the place he started from. The
forces commanded by Des Antos and San da Bandiera had
advanced in good order to the gates of the capital. The
position taken by Das Ants. near Cintra, permits him to
make a vigorous attack, and at the same time provides a
sure retreat. The town was to be attacked in three different
points, and the advance was not to take place until the dif-
ferent corps had come up. The animation of the insurgents
is extreme."
Queen Christina had demanded of the Minister of
War the banishment of ern eral general officers who
had made themselves obnoxious to her. General
Sanz had however refused.

A meeting of the Progessistas, to take steps for the
impending elections, was held at Madrid on the even-

21 members, to superintend the elections for all Spain,
was, after considerable discussion, appointed.

Letters from Salamanca of the 3rd, given by El

We extract from the files of American journals, re-
ceived by the last arrival, some interesting particulars
of the fight at Monterey. It will be seen that the
lots sustained by the United States' forces is estimated
at between 800 and 900 killed and wounded. It was
expected that Ampudia would be reinforced by Santa
Anna with 12,000 men, and stated that General Taylor
would require at least 10,000 volunteers. When the
last accounts left the seat of war, there were no imme-
diate expectations of further hostilities. Doubtless
both parties would be anxious to respect the armis-
tice, that the interval might be employed in consoli-
lidating their resources, so that the report at New
Orleans of another engagement, and the defeat of
the Mexicans, is not only unconfirmed, but, on the
whole, improbable. The correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun thus writes from 31atamoras, under date
the lit October :
"Matamoros, Ocr. 1.
" I wrote yr u a few days since from the cam, at Monte-
rey, since whr n I have been dispatched to this place on pub-
lic business. As I return to-morrow, I have only time to
say one word.
"The entire lees in our battalion (Baltimore) is 8 killed,
and, as lam informed, 16 wounded, ell slightly but one. I
have seen nom) of the killed or wounded; and therefore can-
not give names.
" Colonel Watson was killed in the imprudent charge
ordered by General Butler. He was at the head of the bat-
talion, and had ordered us to go into the charge with three
cheers. Ile received • ball in the breast while in the act of
cheering, and fell instantly. I tried to get to him, but was
borne on in the rush. The charge was ineffectual. At this mo-
ment General Taylor rode up in great anger, and ordered us
to retire. Old Reuel came up under the most tremendous
fire. It was here his horse was shot. It is said there were
angry words passed between him and Butler.
" Captain Stewart now took command, and said. Boys,
your Colonel is killed; don't run, show those d—.d red skins
that although you are ordered to retire, you intend to walk.'
With this he shook his fist at them, and d—d them pretty
considerable. Our entire loss will not be much short of 800
to 900 killed and wounded—the enemy the same. Ampudia
has given up the main fort as per articles of capitulation,
and the stars and stripes were floating over it when I left.
" Ile asked an interview with General Taylor to take
place the day I left. I did not learn the answer.
" Mr. Giles made us a speech when at the Marine Bar-
racks in Washington : ask him if he is satisfied with us.
" There is no doubt now but that Ampudia will be re-
inforced in about one month by 12,000 men. They will be
under Santa Anna.
" We must have 10,000 more volunteers, mark that.

'• Monterey, Mexico, Sept. 21.
" I have but a few leisure moments to give you an account
of our great battle at Monterey. On the morning of the 21st,
General Taylor formed his line for battle, and marched up
to the outskirts and fortifications of the town, keeping one
bomb and his artillery battery going all the time. The
Mexicans continued to fire on us all day, but with no

effect.
" General Worth, on one side of the town, with Colonel
Jack Hays, and Captain Walker and the Texan Rangers,
and General Taylor and the volunteerson the other, we made
our way into their streets over their breastworks, with
a heavy lose on both aides. 'When we made the first clump
we lost our gallant Colonel Watson. The Baltimoreans
fought bravely, and did credit to their city. We lost a num-
ber of men, but I cannot give you their names at present.
" The Tennessee and Mississippi volunteers were cut up
horribly. Kentucky did not stand the fire well, and Ohio
got in a hot place, but soon backed out of it. Captain Bar-
ber and Colonel M'Cullough, of Mississippi, also fell mortally
wounded, with a number of other officers, whose names I
cannot remember.
" The battle lasted three days and two nights, and we had
a hot time of it, I assure you. Colonel Worth dietinguished
himself beyond all praise. He is decidedly a great man for
a fight. lie took two batteries on the first day, and used
them on the Mexicans with great effect.
" The greatest lees of the Americans was on the first
day ; but there are different reports as to the number of billed
and wounded. Some of the staff say that our loss is 700
killed and wounded ; but I think there must be, at least,
1,000.
" The Texan Rangers are the most desperate set of men in
battle that I have ever heard of. They charged up to the
breast works, dismounted, and rushed over on foot, with
sword in hand. They were each armed with barrelled
rifles, and, as may be supposed, did great execution among
the copper skins.
" The 3rd and sth Regiments of the Regulars were much
cut up also, from the 40 pieces of artillery which we had to
silence, as well as the musketry from the house tops.
" The grand castle is a powerful fort, and was mounted
with a number of 18-pounders. It was there that General
Ampudia's quarters were during the battle.
" I will relate to you a number of incidents that occurred
during the three days :
" Colonel M'Clung, of Mississippi, the great. duelist, got
upon the breutworks, waved his hat, and was in the act of
giving three cheers, when a ball struck him, from the effects
of which he has since died.
Samuel W. Chambers, one of the Rangers, or 'the Dela-
ware hero,' as they called him, got over the breastwork,
obtained a foothold on the top of an 18-pounder, and delibe-
rately took aim with his ' fire-shooter,' firing with great
effect, and crushing the Mexicans, until the piece was taken
by General Worth and turned on the city. Chambers escaped
without a wound.
" Captain Gillespy, of the Texan Rangers, was killed
whilst pouring water into the tube of a cannon, with the
Mexicans all around him. But it is impossible for me to
mention all the numerous incidents that occurred at the pre-
sent time.
"We expect another battle at Saltillo so soon as the ar-
mistice expires, and as we have now got our hands in we will
give them rougher usage next time.
" Our army was about 7,000 strong before the battle, but
is now about 5,500. I mire many a noble fellow from the
ranks. The Mexicans were nearly double our number.
Their loss in killed and wounded is not less than 2,000. A
great many were killed in their houses, as we had to rush in
and shoot them down, to stop their destructive fire from
windows and housetops.
"We bury our dead to-day, and you may sad of my
feelings at the dreadful sight better than I an describe I
them. The whole field was like a slaughter-horse, and
bodies were being buried is every direction. In short, I
have had enough of the battle-field, although determined
to stand up to the rack throughout the campaign. Some
persons may and do like it, but between you and my-
self I would much rather be in Baltimore. " Yours, etc.
" P.S.—Sinte writing the above, I have been informed
that not less than 60 of the Baltimore regiment we killed
oc missing. Notwithstanding our looses, and the heart-
