We recur to-day to our files OF Mexican papers,
which are foil Of interest.
We have a report from Gen. Ampudia written
from Saltillo on the 18th October giving the killed
wounded and missing IN "the division under his
command at Monterey from the 10Th to the 23d
Of September IN their different encounters with the
Americans. The lis, embraces officers and III
privaes killed 23 officers aud 22I men wounded :
! officer and men injured Confused and 63
wounded This gives total of430
| We know this 10 be far below the true number
OF casualties. unless AmpudIa intends TO confne
this, as his words may mpari, 10 his own immediate
command. independent OF that under other general
officers, and the irregular troops.
| We lind IN Vera Cruz paper a statement that
from 65 TO 20 Mexican officers were killed or
wounded at Monterey. The editor undertakes 10
defend the Army from the letters which we're writ
ten from Monterey as he says. by women. which
charge the Army with want spirit and every thing
Of the sort
The Editor asserts that they fought most valiant.
! ly aud defended themselves 10 the last extremity,
their loss being rery great. The same Editor goes
on 10 reflect upon Ampudia, by saying that hem
ceiorth the Mexicans will have Santa Anna at their
head and the tables consequently to be turned.
"The satisfaction olthe triumphs they have enjoy
ed will make the overthrow OF our enemy all the
more bitter TO them.
To keep alive the enthusiasm which has been
aroused throughout Mexico aud thereby forward
the organic alton of the National Guard, Gen. Salas,
the nominal head Of the Government, has allowed
himself to be named Colonel of a new battalion
raised in the City Of Mexico. Don V. Garcia Tor
res, the Editor and Printer who was prosecuted by
Paroles, but who is again at large has made an at
tempt TO form another battalion, aud with every
prospect OF success.
| We find deuunciations in the naDers aoainst n
class OF MeXicans who are said TO be Withdrawing
privately from the country. taking with them the
wealth which they have amassed as is alleged BY
| specializing in the Funds, and like practices They
leave the country TO escape being called upon TO
make contributions The Press shows no mercy
TO such men,
The press is very bold, too, in its denunciations
OF the clergy, who are accused Of opposing the
measures ofthe Government. An attempt is made
TO throw odium upon the Church, and, as we Judge,
with the view OF jus,lying which the Gov
eminent may feel compelled TO take 10 make the
church contribute from It's boards the necessities
of the Government. 1t is well known that when
| Gomez Farias was in power many years SINCE he
had the courage TO propose laying hands upon The
property Of the Church, and Farlas is assuredly one
OF the master spirits in the present Government OF
| Mexico.
Gen. Cortina, before resigning his post as the
| Governor Of the District, signed an order for the
dsarming battalion OF the National Guard. II
led to an immediate commotion. The discomfort
| ell flew at to Gomas Farias for relief and
through his influence the order was rescnded -
Cortna in this business is accused of acting under
the influence of 1.-THE MOderados or Conservatives
and although this party is in the minority, and
C0rna has been compelled 10 resign, we infer
from the continual denunciaiions of which il is the
object, that it is formidable, and may embarrass
the Government whenever favorable opportunity
occurs
Ei Republican, of the 9th of October, says that
d. Santiago Magofiin, a North American, who has
resided in Chihuahua many years and made great
fortune there returned not long since TO the United
States. Having reenered Mexico he has
written TO one Of his correspondents in chihuahua
saying that he is on his way thiiher at the head oil
1000 men 10 occupy that State, but that he will
respect the property and lives Of the Inhabitants
The Mexican editor then goes on to say: "The
enthusiasm of the Chihuahnenses could not be
greater; the activity aud decision of Governor
Faras and his assistants have Contributed in an ex-
traordlnary manner TO arouse public spirit. God
grant that The thousand muskets sent hither 5y The
Shpreme Government hare arrived! And may
Gen. lsdro Reyes, named Commander-in-C Chief
and now upon his route, arrive there speedily
We promise ourselves that these illustrious aud
worthy Mexicans will defend themselves heroicIy

this the story is told and the book as monotonou.
1 as ever
The ladies Of Jalapa have sought permission oil
The Government ofthe State to follow the battalion
of the national militia, should it proceed to Vera
Cruz and remain with the rear guard for the pur.
pose of taking care Of ihe wounded This is but
one of numerous signs of enthusiasm.
The convcis in the prisons of Pucbla have
/ peitoned the Government TO march them under .
guard TO the point which is thought most exposed
and then place arms in their hands and allow them
to "avenge the oulrages committed upon their
country"
The troops stationed in the city ofMorea receiy

The call for these troops reached that city al the
