that Alvardo was again to be attacked. 1t wa:
only some days after that they learned his rea
destination. Their first accounts of the result
were published on the I'd inst. They treat II
as wanton predatory expedition, prompted on
ly by the deferceless state of TabascO, and they
taunt us with our two repulses from AIvarado
and defy us to renew the attempt.
The Indicator of the I'd inst, says, that the
evening previous, they we insulted by an Anne
rcan merchant vessel which passed the city
for Sacrfcios, so close in that she might readi
" have been seized by boats and launches from
the port, the blockading ship being at quite q
distance at the time. The blame is thrown up
on the government for not providing money
and other resources to improve such Opportu
| mites.
The Indicator says that the Captain Gene.
raj at Vera Cruz received dispatches on the
5th instant, covering another from the Secre-
tarV of State Of The United States to the Mex.
lean Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The pur-
port was unknown to the editor, but he pre-
sumes il 10 be another proposal on our part
for peace-Mr Polk presuming that the fell
of Monterey will dispose the Me1icans to
submit, sion.
Government received dispatches on the LIST
what measures for defence he had taken, and
expressing hope that he should be able to
repair the honor of the nation. Santa Anna
also wrote hat Gen. Taylor had received from
WASHINGTON a million of dollars, and reinforce
ments which carried the number of his troops
to $4,000
The Monitor says that Gen Taylor had
contracted for IS, 200 sacks of corn at S. a
lov IN hpK hn at ,ng
rendered had refused TO execute IT, So says
the Monitor.
The poor courier shot by Ampuda wa the
one on whom they found Mr.. Marcy's letter
of Sept. Cd to Gen. Taylor. Thus it appears
that he was not faithful.
A paper of the 22i Of October from Du-
range, says that Gen. Canales had had a fight
with a party of volunteers, killing fifty Of
them and taken fnureen wagons Encoura-
ged by his example, the Durango paper says
the whole country was in insurTection Ca
males pretended that he did not know Of the
captulaton, not having signed it; and besides,
it did not he contendpd extend to vOlunee S.
These volunteers had been sent away Ivy Gen
Taylor, as some said, because their term of
service had expired; others said they were in
pursuit Of Canales; and yet others, that they
we're on their way to Tampico 1t was also
reported that "they were ter flied By the man
ner in which the Mexicans fought at Monte
rey"
The papers still complain of the excuses
committed by the Americans at Monterey.
Families continued 10 leave for SaItillo, and
from the neighborhoSd Of the latter city, even,
they were going south 10 escape the visitation
Of our troops .
A letter written from San Luis Potosi on
the 2Sth of October says there were then
l6, 600 troops there, and that in fifteen days
more there would probably be $4,000. There
was no room for people in The city and pro-
visions were excessively scarce.
Gen. Santa Anna had ordered a number Of
officers 10 leave their commands in the army
and repair to the village of Pozos for trial on
the charge of cowardice at Monterey. The
list includes Gems. Jaurequi and RAMIREZ;
Coils. Csrrasco and Enci-co; Lieut.. Coils. Cas-
tro and Fernandez; Commandments Of Squad
rons, Bena Landlords and Ramirez, and First
Adjutant Mariana Huerta, Of the battalion of
San Luis

5000 troops in every way perfectly equipped,
