ELEVEN DAYS LATER FROM MONTEREY.
ORLEANS PlcArusE OF OCTOBER 81.
The steamship Galveston arrived Yesterday af-
ternoon from Brasos Santiago, coming by way of
Galveston. She has relieved our citizens of the
painful suspense whioh they have endured for many
days. Our advces from Monterey come down to
the 9th October. The city is in the quiet occupa-
ton of our troops The evacuation is described in
the letters of our correspondent
After perusing the letters we have received by
the Galveston, and talking freely with several mill
tary gentlemen, it gives us pleasure that we have
no corrections to make in the fiSst report which we
gave of the battles of Monterey. Officers who were
in those actions bear witness to the fidelity of our
correspondent.

ing his victory, we copy from the American Flag
of the 10th instant:
