LATER FROM MONTERREY

The steamship Palmetto, Lewis, arri-
we'd last night, in 36 hours from Calves
ton.
There is not much news from the Ar
my. Lieut.. Price, whose death has been
announced in the Mississippi papers and
our own, is, thank God, alive, and now
at the St. Charles Hotel, in this city.
From some of the officers of the United
States Army, who came passengers on
the Palmetto, and who left Monterey the
1lth instant, we learn that the first Co.
vernment Express, ordering General
Taylor to carry on the war with renew
ed energy, in consequence Of the refusal
OF Mexico to negotiate, was within
few miles of Monterey, and would reach
that point the next day.
The health of the troops at Monterey
was much better than it had been on the
Rio GranIe.
The Notifications in the city were gar.
rlsoned by the regular troops.
Gen. 1'aylor's camp was about three
miles this side of Monterey.
The last accounts from Gen. Ampudia
and his army left them beyond Saltillo
on their march toward San Luis Potosi,
at which point it was rumozed that San
ia Anna had arrived at the head of thir-
teen thousand, and daily expecting rein
forcements.
The Georgia Regiments was the only
reinforcement which had reached Mon.
terey at the time our informants left.
Orders had been received, it was under
stood, by the other Regiments stationed
on the Rio Grande, to move towards
lead Quarters. The Kentucky and
Tennessee mounted Regiments had not
yet reached Matamoras,.

From the Army.-We have given in
this weeks paper. all the news of any
interest we have received from the AT.
my. Santa Annals plan seems to be
now, to concentrate all his troops at San
Louis Potosi, and with this view, the
whole of the country this side of that
town, has been evacuated they have al
so destroyed the fortifcations at Los
Muertos and dismantled Saltillo, and re-
moved every thing that might be of SER
vice to our army. There are contradic-
tory statements as to the Whereabouts
OF SANTA ANNA himself; some affirm
that he is still in the city of Mex
leo, raising troops and money; 9TH
ers state that he is actually on his march
to San Louis Potos,, at the head of a
considerable army, which we have no
doubt is correct.
AS to the movements of our own
army, ii is said General Taylor, will
march upon San Louis Potosi. Of
course he must be considerably rein
forced before such a movement, as the
army with him now is but a handful.

to see the spirit manifested among our

Com STEWART IN COMMAND OF THE
NAVAL FoRcEs.-Several of our ex-
changes state upon what thew deem
good authority, that Com. Stewart is to
have command of the large force about
to be concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico
preparatory to an attack on the Castle
of San Juan de Ulloa. The 100 gun
ship Pennsylvania, now being fitted out
for the service at the Gosport ,eNavy
Yard, is to join the Squadron.
The SPIRIT OF TIE BRITISH PREss.-
The English papers brought over by
the Caledonia, display good deal Of
temper in reference to the conquest of
California by the United States. They
seem to be quite shocked at the idea Of
wholesale conquests, and extensive ac-
QUESTION of territory by any other gov
ernment than their own. But it seems
not to be any mawkish sensibility for
the Mexican nation. 1t is the effect of
cool selfish calculation of the pecuni-
ary losses, British subjects NAV sustain,
and the untoward influences upon Bri--
tish supremacy in that quarter. Some
60 so Tar as to suggest an interference
by force. But it is rather in specuIa.
tive way that this language is used
not as seriously urging it. The proba-
bic conclusion will be, that however
important California may be to Great
Britain, and however extensive may be
the investments of British capital in it, it
would be too costly an experiment for
that government to attempt to wrest it
from the United States. 1t is with evil
dent chagrin, if their papers fairly ex-
press public sentiments that ENGLAND
sees this fine Province prize she has
long coveted about to be snatched from
her. Yet no satisfactory solution to the
question asked by one Of their journals,
"what shall we do for Mexico" seems
yet to be offered. The real question is
" "wha. shall we dc fc- British interests
and British designs IN that quarter"
We think that English statesmen are
more annoyed than our citizens will be
by the problem.

~ TO our friends in the Range, we
would say, the reasons why "The voice
of the Range" was not published, are
these, which we trust will be satisfacto
ry: In the first place, the crowded
state Of our columns prevented US from
attending to it Immediately; and, Sc
condly,after reading it carefully over,we
concluded that it would be productive of
but little good, and perhaps be placing a
question before the people that would pro-
duce considerable unnecessary excite
ment, which is to be deprecated in al
elections; besides we supposed that
the sentiments Of the candidates
upon that subject were generally
known, as they all had pretty much
canvassed the whole district Had we
of known such was not the case, "The
voice of the range" should certainly
have been heard sounding in the ears of
our candidates

! have ever found, says sensible wri-
ter, that the men who are really mos,
fond of the society Of ladies', who cherish
for them high respect, nay, reverence
them, are seldom most popular with the
sex. Men of more assurance, whose
tongues are lightly huns, who make
words supply the place ofdeas, and place
compliment in the room of sentiment, are
the lavories. A true respect for women
leads to respectful action towards them:
and respect is usually a distant action,
and this grca, distance is taken by them
for neglect and want of interest.
