The steamship Virginia, Capt. Tucker, ar
rived at New. Orleans, on the 18th inst, from
Brazos Santiago, bringing large number ol
passengers, and later news from Monterey. We
regret to say that the report touching an acci-
dent to Capt. Randolph Ridgely was we'll four-

indebted for few items of news. The health
of the troops is said 10 be rather bad al this

after garrisoning Saltillo, the main body of the
