"The General-in- Chief calls upon his bre,h-

glorious and signal lriumphs which they have
achieved for their country, beginning with the
10Th of August and ending on the I4lh Of Sep
.ember. This army has galIan'ly fought its
way through the fields Of forts of Conreras,
San Antonio. Cherubusco, Moleno, Del Rey.
Chepultepec and The gates Of San Gosler and
Tacubaya. and the capital Of Mexico. When
the very limited numbers who have performed
these brilliant deeds shall have become known,
the world will be astounded and our country
men filed with JOY and admiration.
"Bui all is no. ye, done. The enemy, tho
scattered and dismayed, has still many frag-
nen,s Of his late army lowering about, aided by
an exasperated population. He may be again
reunited in treble our numbers, and fall upon
US to their advantage, if we res, inactive in the
security of past victories--.compac,ness vigi-
lance and discipline, are therefore our only Sc.
curilies.
"Let every good officer and man strictly re.
gard these cautions, and enjoin them upon all
others. By command Of Major Gen. Scott.
