to vessels drawing six feet waeL The steamers and
schoones which noticed few days ago being locked

FROM THE SAME JULY T.
We learn that Saturday Gen. Taylor announced to the
two regiments Of Louisiana Volunteers that in few days he
would have boats IN readiness transport them up the ve
far Csmargo and from thence he would put them d
recly in motion for Monterey The Senera concluded hi
short address by asserting that il he failed to accommodate
them with fight with the Mexicans before the summer hat
passed away il would be his fault One long, loud ant
enthusiastic burst of applause testified the Joy that sweIe,
every bosom The murmurng and discomfort produced by
few weeks Of inactivity dspatcd like mist before al
uncoudcd sun.
The has shone upon with uncommon briancy snc
the rains, and the heat from is oppressive Tha
antiquaed individual the Coolest inhaban says it is hottie
now than was ever known The Of tonts

amongst the sodery, and il is to be wondered at when w
consider how exposed they in their encampments.
