reached Matamoras.
s The people Of Monterey who had left
about the time of The s:csa. were gradually
returning. They had begun to exhibit
friendly feelings towar6s the Americans,
interchanges ofvisi.s not bsing rare among
both parties.
There had been affrays between the ci,i.
zens OF Monterey and Texas Rangers.
which resulted, first, in the assassination
ola Texan Volunteer, and then by way Of
revenge, in the killing Of eleven Mexicans
by the comrades Of the slain. General Tay-
lor, toprevent similar occurrences, had or.
dered an efficient guard to be distributed
through the city.
Lieut.. Col. McCIung was rapidly recov.
ering from the effects Of lis wounds. One
OF the officers ofhis Regiment informs us
that the gallant Colonel was the first man
that showed himself on the frs, Fort
stormcd by General Tay]or's Division,
and that he received his wounds whilst va
wing his sword alof, and cheering on his
men, shouting "vic,ory'' The muske.

The American itr oops in and! abou.
Monterey arc. quite pleased with The po.
si.ion Of The placssand The manners Of the
inhabitants. The latter certainly seem
degree higher in civilization than the peo.
pie about Camargo and Matamoras.
We are grotfed TO be able 10 state that the
.lue's, which were on the tapis al Camargo
between Col. Bale Pey ton and Gen. Mar
shall, and also between Capt Musson, Of
this city, and Capt. Chcevcs, Of Texan Nol.
unteers, have all been amicably arranged.
Gen. Ampudia has issued another pro-
clamation since his retreat from Monterey
calling upon the Mcxicans to flock to his
standardto repcl the invaders Of their soil.
His excuse, III the proclamation, for defeat
at Monterey, and the surrender Of that city
to our troops, is WANT OF AMvN1TIoN!!
The utter falsity OF this statement. is well
known, for any quantity Of ansunition was
found ut Monterey after the cap,ulation.
