Mr.. A. Daunoy, who came passenger
on board the U. S. steamer Monmouth,
gave me The following items:
On the 7h Nov, arrived al Monclova,
found Gen. Wool and army encampcd, his
army in fine condition; remained at Mon
clova until The 18th, started with an as
cor with dispatches for Gen. Taylor;
/ found The road for one hundred miles a
perfect desert, destitute of water, and ar
rived at Monterey on The 18th; ascertain
! ed that Gen. Taylor had left for SaIti!o,
! 10 miles. Liculs. Franklin and De-
schields, with the dispatches, left for Sal
tillo with the same escort on The 18Th
! The distance from Monclova TO Monterey
/ is $50 miles, thence 10 SaltillD, 70 miles,
whilst from MoncIova TO SaItilo it is but
$50 miles, water plenty and corn in
abundance, and no doubt Gen. Wool will

# fifty wagons, escorted by four compa-

Hawkins along with the train.
I Gen. Taylor has returned from SaltillO,
leaving Gen. Worth in possession of The
place.
We have cOnverscd with an intelligent
gentleman, who left Monterey on the Odd

the forces, except the necessary numbers
left to garrison The several posts, will con-
cenlrate at Tampico, and that Gen. Tay.
Tor in going there will take route leaving
San Luis Polosi 10 his right; that arrived
AT Tampico, and having the necessary
forces To carry ont his future operations, an
