From Esraxos St yago.

The schooner Ftdeiin, Captain Turner, ar rived here this morning from Brazos St Jago, whence she sailed on the Sth inst
 The editor of the Bulletin states, on the authority of passenger, that there was no news from Monterey further than has already been received here.
 The Captain left Maiamofos on the 4ih, and Po,nt Isabel on the 9th instant After the 9th, he was on board the schooner, ly- ing of the Brazos, and had lhtle communities ton with the shore 1t was reported at Matamoros and Point Isabel on the 7lh, that Gen. Taylor's loss al the siorming of Mon terey w.s l500 in killed and wounded. In such desparaIe assault having every advan- tage of position, and firing behind iortihca- tions and under cover of houses, 1t would not be at all surprising il the loss of our army should even be still greater than l500 killed and wounded. But, as the Bulletin justly remarks, the Galveston papers contained the substance of despatch lseai Gen. Taylor to the U. $. quartermaster at Brazos St. Jago, which stated his own loss at 500, and that of the enemy at about 2l00- /
 This point, however, will be cleared up in two or three days, when we shall receive
 
 n the Washington papers the Generals des- patch to the Secretary of War.
 The passengers also informed the editor of the Bulletin that Candles was undouhted- ly between Monterey and the Rio Grande with 600 /rancheros. The cold-blooded murders committed by this miscreant upon American wounded tha, felt in his power on the road to the posts on the river, call for vengeance upon his head, and those who ac- company him. If none oi these can be ia- ken. then notice should be given to the ene- my's commanders, that if similar ouifages are repeated, they will be retaliaied upon Mexican prisoners now or hereafter in the hands of the American army. lf the Mexi- cans cannot make war like civilized men, they must be treated like savages, in order to teach them that humanity cannot be oulrag- ed with impunity. while an American army has the power of vindicating her rights.
 The Indiana regiment of volunteers, s,a- toned at Matameros, was ordered to Mon terey, leaving cue of the Ohio regiments to garrison this town. C

The destructive fire to which the division under Gen. Taylor was exposed, when ad- vancing on she enemy's, forts on the 2lst ult, al Monterey, may be gathered from the fate of the gallant Third Regiment.
 Soon after the time when the order to ad- vance was given. Maj. Lear, in command of the regiment at the time, got killed. Capt. Morris then assumed the command: he too shared like fate, Capt Bainbridge was next to lead: he got severely wounded, and had to retire. Byt Maj. Barbour was the next to take command: he was killed.

FROM THE SEAT OLE WAR.

Al ten O'Clock last night we issued al
l Extra, containing the latest news from
me seat of war, brought by the schooner
louisiana, from Brazos St. Jago, which
place she left on the llth inst. The ac-
tual tenor OF this shows evidently tina,
the MeXlcans had been worsted by Gen.
IayIor'5 army, in his march to open a
Communication between Point Isabel and
his own camp. Ii we take into consider
atom the fact thah our army remained
masters OF the tield--that the enemy had
rereated--that they had left thei. dead
AMI wounded and three pieces OF artilervI
on the g'ound-we may naturally con
strhe II into a defeat; and when we find.
the Mexican army had refused to advance,
and that their soldiers were without am.
munltlon, we must of course conclude that
a decisive victory was gained at the point
where Gen. Taylor was attacked. L
The other part OF the news informs US
that Gen. Taylor would not proceed fur. :
.her at that time, until he received some
leIP--irom which we opine that there t
we're difficulties in his way which called +

ave been immediately furnished by the h
