One Of the Mexican prisoners. an officer,
who arrived here by the New-Oreans, as
sures us that the number of Mexicahs cap
tured at Cerro Gordo was l,600, and not
5000 as the first report said.
OF this he says there cannot be a better
pr oof than the fact that only l,G00 ratlons
were distributed by order of Gen. Scott, on
the day of the action as it would hardly be
possible that for 5000 men but 600 rations
should be served out.

sal be received while a single armed AIheri-

From the Monitor Of the Goth, We cut the
following:
We have Just witnessed an act which does
great honor 10 the Battalion of Hidalgo. A
part of the people were in the streets in the
greatest excitement, shouting, death to Re-
ION! Death tn the Gucate 20 traitor who
sells us to the Yankees lit is he! Ills he!
Here he goes ~ In fact the delegate Rejon
was about to perish by the hands of the pop
ulace, when six young men Of the National
Guard saved his life by taking him 10 their
quarters. Gen. Lombardini was immediate
" informed Of the occurrence, and conduct
ed him to the Palace through the garden
gate in order to avoid his being assassinated
by the people.
From the Monitor Of the l3h.-PainCui
Intelligence from Monterey and lie piidses Of
The Fronfier.-The greater part of the above
named city has been burned, namely from
the entrance near the country house of Gen.
Arista to the Plaza del Meson and on the
north side as far as the Bidges; not more
than a fourth part of the horses have been
left in any direction.
They have destroyed the tower of the Ca
thedral and have thrown down the bells all
Of which have been melted. At San Fran
cisco they have taken all the stud Of horses
and have completely destroyed the Convent.
They have burned all the villages from Ma

nosa to Alatamoras and the commandant Of
:. that city has said that on the approach of Ur
rea he would set fire to every house.
All these injuries and barbarities have been
perpetrated by way of vengeance for the
great damage done them by Urea with his
f continual triumphs, he having relieved them
of property to the value of two millions, con-
sisting of wagons, mules and effects, which
he has distributed among his troops. Taylor
has published a proclamation declaring Ur-
5 rea, Canales and the troops which follow
them 10 be brigands and that he will not give
quarters to one of them. This is a piece Of
I cruelty which will cost the American army
t dear, as the forces of Urea are increasing
t from day TO day.

unbridled %soldiery.
