General states that he had sent on three hundred
mules, two hundred wagons, and one hundred and
sixty thousand rations that he would move on the

the enemy did not give him light there, he would

Mr. Kendall writes US on the 22d ult, from Ca.
MARCO, that the most authentic intelligence from
Monterey represented that Malta had 1000 regulars
and 5000 raw recruits, all without money or Shoes
and ilhPtovided in every respect. At Caidereyte,
thirty miles this side OF Monterey, there force
OF between 700 and 1000 cavalry about the 18th Of
August, better situated than the troops at Mon
terey, but still ill-ptovded. Candies and other Of
fcers were said to be recruiting men by every
means in their power-coaxing some aud forcing
others.-N o. Pic, Sept. Ga.
THE ADVANCE We learn by the last steamer
from Csmsrgo that all the regulars had departed
Eor the interior, with the exception Of one regi-
ment. Gen Taylor was sttll at Camargo, but II
was supposed that he would leave in few days.
Gen. Twiggs had reached Camargo with about
2600 men from this place, and we understand start
'edoff Immediately for Monterey. Gen. Worth il
he continued his march, must be close on to Mon.
terey about this time. He will probably have the
honor of marching the firsttroops into that place
unless the Adventures" have got there ahead
him, which would not create much surprise in the
minds Of some -iHatdmoras Flag.
