lIentlemen.- O-Uiy lids UcSII VIC Hot'Sos 10y
thai has vet shone On US in this hottest OF all hot
nlaces on this globe. The 7lh Infantry is still
encamped in the Plaza and rigid police is kept
up in The town, which al This time is perfectly
free from liquor shops, the greatest annoyances
and sources of all evil among our men. No
American citizen has been allowed TO establish
himself in the town, on any pretence Whatever,
which has created great hubbub among those
who follow the army TO collect the scanty pit
lance OF our "mercenary soldiery." STEAMBOATS,
are searched on their arrival, and all citizens
found on them are, unless permitted TO remain by
the highest authority, furnished the most speedy
transportation 10 the Brazos-al liquor found IS
confscaled, one half OF the proceeds TO the inor-
mer the other half TO the hospitals. You may
readily imagine that this has caused great re-
formation among those who do not come under
The appella,ion OF "mercenary soldiers" and we
are here altogether free from those Towdy and dis
gushing scenes which so frequently occurred IN
The steets of Malamoras.
The army j. concentrating here rapidly, and
VIC are very much in hopes Of speedy move
ment on Monterey. There are many Of us burn
ing with ardor to meet The enemy and some i've
or six hundred hearts would leap with Joy
TO have a chance TO throw few bomb-shells
into any place occupied by Mexican soldiery.-
The gallant defence of Fort Brown has been al
most entirely ecip.ed by The briliancy OF the We
tories of the 9Th and 9Ih-so much so that Mr..
Ingersoll, in offering his resolution 10 present
medal. excluded the dcfcndcrs Of Fort Bro'cn-
bnt rest assured, that however deeply we may feel
ms ,ligbt. il cannot take from us The proud ana
honorable feeling that we defended The American
Flag SUCCESSFULLY, under more Instantaneous
circumstances than were ever yet experienced 10
our country. :,
The remnant OF the Louisiana volunteer divi-
sion is here under Capt. Blanchard. Some say
that Gen. Smith will command The ID Brigade OF
rcouar Infantry, but We would like to see "those
things which are CRsar's given unto Crsar:
SEVENTH INFANTRY.
Ry the next arrival from The army we may
look for news of more stirring importance than
any we have received thence since the capture Of
Ma,amoras. We have no doubt that Genera
TAYLOR is now moving his columns upon Monte
rev, and the intelligence from that quarter indi-
cafes that the reduction OF The city will be ons'
naely contested. Recent arrivals from the noun
ains report a large force concentrated IN ana
about Monterey, consisting oil soodiy portion
nj reoular troops. Unless these rumors be great
ly exaggerated, fresh flelds OF glory are IiPehins
TOR The sword. What effect the late revolution in
Mexico will have upon The soldiery in the North
ern nroyinces remain, 10 be seen. These forces
must have been collected as part Of The army
Paroles designed 10 take command Of. They
have heen concentrated al Monterey within few
weeks as shortly after the United States Army
crossed The Rio Grande spies sent into the nefi-
or reported no troops this side Of the mountains.
