LATEST FROM MONTEREY.

The ste mship Galveston arrived yester

were those bra,e fellows, Col. J. c. Fl YES
and Col $. II. Walker, whose in'rep d dar,
and nnd unied va!or are now among the
most ight portions Of lie history Of the

His opinion has no, prcdicated upon any

in Monterey.
II is believed that Ampudia, left Mon

In addition 10 the beral supply of ummu'
niiion with which this large army were

how to profit by the aimslice.
