donations We have already published sew
sral Of the proclamations issued by Ampudia,
prior to the battles at Monterey, but the fol-
lowing addressed by the "General-in-Chief of
the Army of the North 10 his companions in
arms" is so rich, that we give it place;
Soldiers: Our enemies, who only number
$500 troops Of the line, the balance being made
up Of "adpenitnerS,' without valor or discip-
line, according to the accounts received from
confidential friends, intend to leave Cerralvo
forthwith, with the foolhardy view of attempt
ing to take this important position. It this be
The case, knowing as ] do your ndomitabe
yalor and courage, and the enthusiasm Of the
people, may safely say to you, they IoiH nsper
again drink Of The ,oaters Of TIE Rio Bravo.
We have nearly 5000 valiant Dragons now
oat accommodating the enemy, who will give
them manya battle ere they reach this city.
Soldiers; We are now entrenchiug and torti-
Tying ourselves, for the purpose of being able
1o operate more ehoctually, and to make a
sally and repulse the enemy, at tho point ofthe
bayonet, at any favorable moment.
Soldiers: Three great virtues form the char
acter of soldier-discip pine, valor, and con
stancy IN fatigue. Therefore, whoever in thi
critical moment deserts his Colors, from what
erar cause, is coward and a traitor. Th
question now is, whether we retain our indie
psndence, or lose It forever-and this depend
upon yourselves. To you it is left, whether
you DO elaves or freemen.
Confident in you! loyalty and enthusiasm,
have assured the supreme government OF the
triumph of our arms. Then give the world
proofOf your being the sons of the immortal
HidaIgo, Morelos, Allende, Iturbde, and a
host of other heroes, who died defending the
independence Of your beloved republic
Soldiers; "FlctOry or death"-let this be
your motto. PEDRO DE AMPUDIA.
