THE lU'JTLU OF MONTEREY.
As every thing relating to the bat

ihe following grafic dcsciiplion by Gen.
IVylon.
Monterey, Sept., 25, 1816.
My rcrnSV-: Af er a most obsiinoie
pnd sanguinaiy coi.flic.t, which was con
tinued from day lo day for five days,
(pn. Ampudia capitulated Ibis ci"y on
25 h int. Our loss in killed andwnun
tied, has been extremely severe, not
less than 500, amongst whom are fome
of the most valuable ofTi.if rs of the M il
lar Army; wel' as volunteers.
The 1st. Regiment of Tennessee vol
unleeis, commanded by Col. Campbell,
fcufferedjirore severely, perhaps than any
other which was eng.ged during ibt
siege, having bad twenty seven killed
on the fi.dd, and seventy seven wound
ed , some of them mortally, and many
of them seriously, and this out of a fore
of only 07!) men. Nothw'rhstanding
this irrm-inlo'i ls, the regiment
charged und:r the lead of its gallant
colonel and other officers, and was the
l'nsi regiment which s'ormed the furl,
mounted the hi east work?, and unfuiled
the stars and stripes upon its walls, a
midst a perfect hail tturm ofbjlls which
was pour inn u; on it.
These Mexican towns and fortresses
nre incredibly strong, and few men
light beMe.r from house lops and be
hind stone walls, or are more adioit in
the use of stationary artillery than the
Mexicans. In ihtse actions Gen. Tay
lor had, all told about 4000 men, while
Gen. Ampudia's force consisted ol 1 0, -,00
infantry and cavalry, betides ml
lii'u, ranch'TO", $-c. dsn. Taylor had
13 pieces of artillery; of whibh 17 were
field pieces of Br'.iUery, while b-m.Am-
puJia had forty four pieces thiny High!
of which, with two standards cf color
ore, now in our possession.
O.ir army arrived before Monterey

bounded with terrible veloc-ty over U
head, at wliicb the old hero did noi

This day, the 1 0th, was spent in mak
rerun Romances of the place and its van
mis ou'posls, amidst a good deal of fir
jngon the pirl of the Mexicans, fron
ciniion and a short gun called an rseo
larse ball to the
cliitance of 500 or fJOO yards.
On Sunday, the 20 h, Gen. Worth
wa detached by Gen. Taylor.in com
mand of the 2 I division of the regulai
army (about 1500 strong) andCol.IIay e

Hyou will have seen the arliels, ni
