GEN. AMPUDIA's RECONCILIATION Rw-
ntors- EraggeratiOn, &c. The New Orleans
Picayune contains some further interesting ex-
tracts from Mexican journals, from which we
take the following.
We have report from Gen. Ampudil, writ
n from Saltillo OIL the 4th October, giving the
killed, wounded and missing in 'the division
under his command" at Monterey, from the
9Th to the 2Sd of September, in their differ
ent encounters with the Americans The list
embraces officers and III privates killed;
% officers and 22l men wounded; officer
and men injured or "contused," and IS
wounded. This gives total of 4Ss. We
know this to be far below the true number
OF casualties, unless Ampudia intends to confne
this, as his words may import, to his own inn
mediate command, independent of that under
other general officers, and the irregular troops.
We find in Vera Cruz paper statement
that from 65 TO 10 Mexican officers were killed
Or wounded at Monterey. The editor UNDER
takes to defend the Army from the letters
which were written from Monterey, as he says,
by women, which charge the Army with want
of spirit and every thing of the sort. The edi.
tor asserts that they fought most voliantly and
defended themselves to the last extremity their
loss being gerry great The same editor goes on
to reflect upon Anlpudia, by saying that hence
forth the Mexicans will have Santa Anna at
their head and the tables are consequently to
be turned "The satisfaction Of the triumphs
they have enjoyed will make the overthrow of
our enemy all the more bitter to them"
In satlrical Mexican paper, the Don Sim
plcio, of the It'll Of October, the following par
agraph occurs:
Interesting. Yesterday evening there arrived
at this capital an express bringing the agreea-
bic news that the forces of cavalry under the
command of Gen. Romery, who did not sign
the capituIation Of Monterer, had an encounter
with the Americans in which they made 100
prisoners and took four pieces of artillery, the
Americans having had so men killed in the ac-
ton. We believe that during the day will be
published the details of this action which is so
Interesting that we hasten to bring it TO the
knowledge Of the public, notwithstanding tie
vagueness OF the information we have been able
to obtain
We have looked sharply into papers Of lat
or date than the above, but we have been to-
tally unable to find any OF these promised de-
tails We presume, therefore, that no anxiety
need be felt for the hundred American prison.
ers, nor tears shed for the eighty who have fall
len in that engagement
The PiCaYunG also translates letter in a
Mexican paper from Monterey, in which the
writer, a Mexican, complains bitterly of the
doings of our volunteers in that city, charging
them with the vilest excuses. His letter con-
cludes as follows:
The force which has been introduced into
the city consists ofbetween two and three thou
sand regulars-wel disciplined, subordinate
and unde: excellent officers; the remainder
consists Of thousand or fincen hundred I'm.
bridled volunteers, much like the Camanches
in their appearance, lerocity and costume
1t is said the rest of these forces, amounting
TO 5000, ere stationed in the woods, the Obs
pado and other camps. In regard to what is
said of that which is beyond the city, am not
responsible, for they are very decetful and en-
deavor to exaggerate their forces.
They have more than 1000 wounded, and
about 400 sick with fevcrs ard dysentery.-
Many of their officers are dead and | see that
they are appalled, by the abandonment Of this
city by the poor as we'll as rich, They ask
every moment if Gen. Santa Anna is coming
with troops; ifthere are, besides those who are
here, any troops at San Louis; and fthe Gov
eminent, after the loss Of this department, will
not be inclined to enter into negotiations with
the United States. Everything indicates that
in two days they withdrawsthe volunteers, in
place of whom the population may return; but
ii is certain that no one will remain here, and
they can only secure their conquest by the ex-
termination of the race.
