LATEST FROM MONTEREY AND THE
RIO lxRANilr,

We are indebted to Mr. Faster, one OF her PAS.
sensers for the Maiamoras Flag, OF The Sd insI,
ior the Monterey Pioneer of the I'D ult, and Tor
such verbal Information as was current on his
route. He left Sallillo on the 22d ult and Mon
terey on the oath. A, both Of these posts every
Thing was qniet, and no apptehensions were en-
,ertained OF a different state OF things ensuing
there. Very many c. the wounded, bo.h Ameri-
cans and Mexicans, were dying al Saftllio.
The report brought TO he city by. passengers
ON board the schooner "Henry LeDs," on Fri
day, that battle had been fought between Gen
Tay,or and tn. fc.ccs under Gen. Urea and Ca
males, proves 10 be Incorrect. Urea kept hover
inc about Col. Curtis command but having been
advised that Gen. Taylor, with party OF Some
700 men, we're advancing from Mo..efeY, ne
withdrew his forces On The 10th March Zen.
Taylor met the division Of Col. Curtis, aud hav
ing been apprised that Morales had concentrated
in the vicinity of Ramus with command oil
some 1000 men, he set out in pursuit OF the gal
lnnt General. He followed him as tar as Caide-
re,a. but his force should be literally fys aril-
lcry 10 overlake him, and it is doubtful if they
would even then-he had crossed clear over the
mountains. Gen. Taylor had returned TO the
camp near Monterey, where, his men were quiet
" enjoying respite from their fatigue.
The reg ;ment of Col. Curtis Sd Ohio Volun-
ieers, had arrived, without moleslaticn, al Mon
we! disciplined, nne looking body o soldiers
Information having reached Camarso that
Candles. with some $50 men was al village, or
rancho, called Caperero, twenty miles South oil
Cerralyo, Capt. Grey, better known as Mustang
Grey. and parry OF Texan Rangers, had lei; IN
pursni, oil him. Artful as be is he will find it no
easy task 10 dodge Mustang-a as ior hshilng hlm,
Canales never fights. Tie road now from Ca

IL no yalad hv all IN ndS
of Americans, wilhou; any fear OF danger or OBJ
siruction.
AS we have already limited, il is understood to
be tie design OF Gen. Taylor, as soon as ne gets
the necessary reinforcement, 10 march on 10 Sal
tilo. aud, al point between That and Mexico,
form junction with Gen. Scott.
We give The following extracts from the Mon
