tk29th Septemher, M .. ,,,, .. .,
On tb 19th Geo. Taylor arrived befire
Monterey with a force of about G000 men, arid,
x.'nhet rpcoonoWeing tfce-tfif itibbut 1.T00 a i
1000 yards (rant the Cathedral fait, during
, which he waa fired upon from the battery, hi
force-wa encamped at the Walnut Spring,
three miles ehnrt of the city. This waa the
nearest position from which the array coold nb
Inin supply nf water and bread, and he with
out the reach of the enemies' batteries. The.
remainder of the 19th waa occupied liy the en
gineer in making reconn'iiacnr.es of the city,
for the purpose of erecting batteries to cannon
ade from the heights.
On the i 20th Gen. Wort'i v as ordered with
hie division to move by a circuitous route to the
right to pain the Saltillo road, beyond the west
of the town, and lo storm the height above the
Itiahop's Pslace, which vital point the enemy '
auimsred to have strangely neglected. Circum
stones caused him to halt on the night of the 1
'JlHh, short ol t'.ie intended position. j
On the morning of the 2lst he continoed his
route, snd after an encounter with a Inrge body
of the enemy's cavalrv and infantry, supported
by srtillcry from the heights, he r pulsed them
with loss and finally eticampcJ, covering the
imsssgry to the Saltillo road. It n as here dis
covered that besides the fort at the Bishop's
palace and the occupation of the heights above,
there were two forts on commanding eminences
on the opposite side of the Swgeuin which had
been fortified and occupied. These two latter
heights' were then stormed snd carried by the
force under General Worth, and the guna being
immediately turned upon the city, a plurging
lire was commenced upon the Bishop's paljcn.
On the same morning, Ilie21t, the first divi
sion of regular troops, under General Twiggs,
nnd the volunteer division, under Gen. Butler,
were ordered under srms to make a diversion
to the left of the town in favor of the important
"pemtiona of Gen. Worth. The 20 inch mor
law and two 24 pound howitzers had been put
in a battery on the night of the 20th in a ravine
1400 yards distant from the cathedral fort and
citadel, and were supported hy the fourth regi
ment of Infantry.
At 1 o'clock, A. &!., on the 2Ut, the order
was given for the battery to open upon the cita
del and town, and immediately after the first
discharge the division, with the 3d and 4th in- 1
fanlry in advance under Col Gartland who were
ordered to reconnoitre and skirmish with the
enemy on the extreme led of the city, and
hould a prospect of success offer to carry the
most advanced battery. This attack waa di
rected by Major Mansfield, engineer; Capt
Williams, of the Topographical engineer, and
Major Kenny, quarter maater to the Texaa
Raiigers. I
A heavy fire from the first battery was imme
diately opened upon the advance, but the troops
mm turned, and entering the city, engaged
with the enemy, hand to hand in the street.
Passing through an incessant cross fire from the
cit idol, and the first and second batteries, aa
well as from the infantry who lined the para
pets, streets and house-tops of the city, the rear
of the first battery was captured, and the firo
soon turned upon the enemy; thia and the re
verse tire of the troops through the gorge of
the works, killed or dislodged the artillerist and
infantry from it, and the buildings occupied by
inlantry immediately in it rear.
Tiie first division waa followed and suppor
ted by the Mississippi and Tenressee, and first
Ohio regiments the two former regiments be
ing the first to scale and occupy the fort. The
Hiccess nf the day here stopped. The Misissip-
p, Tennessee, ana nuio regiments, mougn
warmly engsged in the streets for some time
after the capture of the first bsttery and its ad
j lining defences, were unable from exhaustion
and the los ti.c v had tuctsinod, lo gsin more
auvsnlsges. A heavy shower of rsin here
esuie up lo cause s siinpension of hostilities be
litre the close ot the day.
The third, fourth em) fiist infantry and Bslti
more baltallion remained as the garrison ot the
captured position, under Col. Gartland, assisted
by Cspt. Ridgeley's battery : two 12 pounders,
one 4 pounder, and 1 hoiUcr wore cap'ured
in thia fort. Three officers end some twenty
or thirty men were taken prisoners. One ol
the 12 pounders wss served agninat the second
fort and defences, with captured ammunition,
by Cspt. Ridgcly. The storming part of Gen.
World's division also captured two nine poun-
dirs, vkkb u xre also turned against their for
mer uCji(i.
On the mot ring of the 22d, Gen. Worth
r.iiiuiiued In. ujieralwu. and with portion of
his division ui'iriiied and curried successively
tdti heights auove the Bishop' Pslses; bo'b
were carried by coinsnind under captain Vin
urn, of (he UJ artillery. In this operation, tike
company of luisiana volunteera, under Capt,
BUnchard, perfornu-d efficient and gallant eer
vice, as part of Cspt. V niton's comn.snd. l our
oieces of artillery, with a good supply of sin
uiunitio.i, were tsplurrd in lite B step's Pal
see this dsy, some of which were iininedietely
turned upon 1 1 enemies' defence in the city
On the evenmg of iho 22 J, Col. Gsrtlsnd and
liis command veie relit ved aa the garrison of
tU captured torts 'by General Quitman, with
the Mississippi and Tennessee regwn'uts, and
live companies' of th Kentucky rtgiraeat.
r
Early on the morn In of the 23d, Gen. Quit
man, from Ms position, rliscoTcred that the
second and third posts and. the defences Esst of
the city, had been abandoned by the enemy,
who, apprehending another assault, on the night
of id- 89d, bad retired from all hie defences to
the main palace and it immediate vicinity. A
command, consisting ofttro companies of M a
taeippi and twoofTenneseee troop, were then
thrown into the streets to reconnoitre, tnd soon
became wholly engaged with the enemy. Thvy
'were Immediately supported by Col. Wood's
regiment nf Texas Kangera, dismounted, by
Drags' tight battery, -and the third infantry.
The enemy's fire wss constant and uninterupted,
frum afreets and house tnpOwrricadea, etc.
In the vicinity of the Plaza, the pieces of
Brsgg's battery were also ued with much effi
ciency tar into the heart of the city. Thia en
ffngetncnt, laated the best part of the day oitr
troops having driven the scattering parties nf
the evening and penetrated quite lo the defen
ces n the nisin Plsxa. The advantage thus
gained it wne not considered necesssry to hold,
as the enemy had permanently abandoned the
City and- its defences, except the main Plain,
ita immediate vicinitv and the Cathedral fnrt or
citadel, 'early in afternoon san.e day. Worth

planted in the Cemetry inclosed, snd during
the night did grest execution in the circum
scribed csmp of the enemy on the Plszs. Thus
ended the operationa on the 23d.
Karly on the morning of the 24th, a commu
nication waa sent to Gen. Taylor from Gen.
Ampttdis, under flag nf truce, making an of
fcr of capitulation, to which the former refused
to accede, aa it asked more than the American
commander would, tinder any circumstances,
grant.
At the same lime, a demand to surrender wss
in reply made upon Gen. Ampudis; 12 o'clock,
M., was the hour at which the acceptance or
non-acceptance waa to be communicated to the
American General. At 11 o'clock, A. M , the
Mexican General aent, r queuing a porfonsl
conference with Gen. Taylor, which was prin
ted the principal officers ol rank on either aide
accompanying their Generals. After several
others iu relatk.i to the capitulation of the city,

Gen. Tsylor arose, and ssying he would give
Gen. Am pud is one hour to consider and accept
or refuse, left the conference with his officers.
At the expiration of the hour, the discharge of

Before the expiration of the hour, however.
an officer waa sent, on the part of Gen. Ampu
dia, to inform the American General to avoid
the further effusion of blood, and the national
honor being satisfied by the exertions of the
Mexicsn troops, he had, sfter consultstinn with
the gencrsl officers, decided to capitulate, ac
cepting the offer of the American General.
The terms of capitulation you will have by

Col. Wm. Watson of Baltimore.
Gen. A in podia elated that his force amoun

The forts that were taken were iccupird by

On the 2 1st, 22 d and 23d (here was some hsrd
fighting bere, snd many poor fellows bsve suf
fered by it. Put I think it may ssfely be said
that the town ia in Gen. Taylor's power.
The plsee wss murh more strongly fortified
than Gen. Taylor had any idea of, and the Mex
icans defended their woiks with skill snd deter
mination. This morning Col. Monroe, ths Adj. Genersl
of the Msiiesn Army, eame into ramp with a
proposition from Gen. Ampndia to evacuate the
town, he and hia armv to march nut and return
in the interior. This, Geu. Taylor declined snd.
insisted upon Ampudia and his officers becom
ing prisoners of wsr, the men to be disbanded
and dispersed with a stipulation not to serve j
sgainst us during the wsr, the Genersl snd his
officers to remain in rustoily until disposed of by ;
order of our government. The psrties have '
been negotiating all day, and if they do not agree !
Ibera will be some bard fighting as the place !
eanuot hold out long. Altlwuch we esin the '
pise and victory, it has cokt us dear.
The carnage on our side is great, snd proba
bly more so than that of the Mexicans, aa that
we do not know, ss they fought undei cover all
ths time. Gen. Worth hss distinguiahed him-
self ss a gallant soldiers snd skilful commsnder.
Gen. Tsylor gsve him a fair rhance, and be

Geo. Taylor's srmy arrived be for Monterey
on h 19th, snd found the enemy occupying the

Moxirasr, Mexico. Sept. S3, 1810.
Gentlemen The city baa capitulated on the
fallowing terms : The Mexican soldiers shsli be
permitted to msrrh out of jowa whh their arms
and six amall field pieces, leaving all their mu
nitions of wsr behind, with sll their artillery and
public stores. They sre to retire lo Linsres,
sixty miles hence, snd sbout thirty miles north
of Saltillo, snd sre not to spproach nearer than
that to thia plsce within sixty dsys, or until each
psrty rsn hesr from its respective government.
Ampudia kept Gen. Tsylor until nesrly midnight
Isst night, preparing the terma, &e. Many per
sons, particularly the Texan volunteers who
fought so bravely, sre disptessed at thee terms.
The town wss sll but in our hands, snd could
they be believed, hsve been tsken in three houra
I believe that it would have required much more
hard fighting to have taken it, but this was not
the question with Gen. Tsylor. He snd sll his
ofiirers knew perfectly well, of course, thst the
town could toon be tsken, but he wanted no pri
soners to tske up his time and eat out his sub
stance; but he did have sn bject in view w hich
will be reai heil by the turns of this rspitu'stion
and that object will lead to a result most bene
ficial to our government, under whose advice or
order Gen. Taylor scted in agreeing to these
terms. As I hsve s few moments to spare be
fore the express goes out this morning, (he was
detained tatt night by the slow progress of busi
ness with Ampudis.) I will speak orthe operations
of Gen. Tsylor on this side of the town.
Msjor Mansfield, of the Engineers, reconnoi
tred the enemy's works on the night of the 19th,
but could obtain no very accurate information,
although he approached very near to some of
them on the heights. On the 90th Lieut Scar
ritt and Lieut. Po.te were aent out to reconnoi
tre the works, Scsritt on the right snd Pope on
the left of the town. The latter approached and
discovered the position ol baUarey on the ex
treme left, and waa exposed to a fir of csnnon
and musketry from Lancers, from which, sfter
finishing his observations, he retired in safety.
On the night of the 20th the moitar and howit
zer battel ies were placed iu a position to play
on the strong holds around the citadel. The ac
tion commenced on the morning of the Slat, by
the opening of these batteries Col. Garland's
ftrigade were ordered to move to the left lor the
purpose of storming the battery discovered by
Lieut. Tope the dsy before, snd to occupy, if
possible, the lower psrt of the city.
Msjor Msntfield, Cspt. Williams and Lieut.
Pope were ordered in sdvsnce to select the moat
available point of attsck, and to direct the move
ments of the column upon it. Three companies
were thrown forward as skirmishers and advsn
ced rapidly towards the works, followed by the
Hrigads in line of battle, under cross firs of
srtillery from th citsdel snd fort, and a heavy
fire of musketry. The column cbsrged Into a
street sbout 200 ysrds to the right of the battery
passed the works entirely, snd effected sn en
trance into the tower. After sdvsncing rapidly
about 400 ysrds beyond the bsttery, they csme
immedistely in front of a musked battery of ar
tillery and musketry, which swept Ihe street
1 completely by its range. The barricsdes of the
, atree'.s at sixty ysrds distsnce from the head of
the column, were lined with Mexicsn troops,
! who, entirely covered themselves, opened a
murderous disc barge of grape and musketry upon
ths sdvsncing column. 1'very bouts in ths
street wss pierced for musketry snd enfilsded
the street in every direction.
ruder this nre the following officers were
killed or mortally wounded: Major Barber, 3d
Infantry, by grape shot in the sbdomen; Cspt.
Williams, Topographical Engineers, shot thro'
the body by musket ball, fell in the street snd
wss drs-ged info the doorway of a house by
Lieut. Pope, amidst s shower of balls that cover
ed him with dust. The gallantry of this young
officer, now in his first battle, is spoken of in
sdmirstion by the Army. Cspt. Williams died
the next day snd wss buiied with thn honors of
wsr by Ihe Mexican troops, into whose hands
j hetad lallen. Lieut Merrelt. 1st Infantry, shot
j through ths body, died toe next dsy.

ly wuundsd, Lieut. R. Graham, 4th Infaatry,
aeverely wounded in both legs and body ; hops
are entertsined of bis recovery. A grest num
ber of meu killed and wonnded number not
known.
It being impossible, in th opinon of th
Officers, to effect any thing in attacking the bar
ricades in front, th column moved rapidly up
street to th right, with the intention ef turn
ing them. Being reinforced by the Ohio regit
ment, second chsrge was mads, under ths di
rection of Gen, Better, which, owing to th tre
mendous fire of musketry and grips from ths
barricade and atone hoesea, likewise proved in
effectual. The troops ware then ordered, by
Gen. Tsylor, to rstire in good order and get un
der rover frvm the enemy's Are, which order
wss handsomely executed.
The following officers wer killed or mortally
wounded (sine died) in th second charge; Col.
Watson, of th Psltimor reflation ; Capt. L.
N. Morris, 3d Infantry; Lieut, p. Irwia, 3d In

The New Oilcans Patria publishes s letter from
a new correspondent at Havana, dated Sept. 22,
in which an extract of a tetter from Mexico to a
respectable merchant in Havana ia given, ex
posing sn intrigue to which Ssnts Anna and our
government are aaid to be privy. These Ms
chisvelisn plots are told with alt the gravity of
a belief in their truth, however absurd they ap
pear upon the face of them. The writer says
thst Genersl Sants Anna has engsged with the
government of the United States to manifest
publicly that he prosecutes ths wsr with energy,
but, at the asm time, all his movements, snd
every one nf his operstions must be, by pre-sr-rangement
with the government of the United
Ststes, conducted in a previously understood
msnner thst nn result favorable to the cause of j
Mexico will follow them. The Mexicsn peo
ple will then be disposed thst sn sinicsble ar- j
rangement should be entered into, which will be
done in a manner prnjltuble to the I'niftd Stulei.
"Santa Anna's responsibility will be covered
by this set ; tresties will be formed, snd a set- j
tlement of affairs will follow the result of 1
which will be thst Ssnta Anna will be appoint- !
ed President and Dictstor of the Mexicsn Repub- i
l c, for a term of eight or ten years ; snd Mexico
will be under the immediste protection of the
United Ststes, and hy them will be protected
The effort will be made to keep things in this
stste during Ssnta Anna'a life, ao that after his
desth, seversl States rosy be formed, which will
be snnexed to those of the North Amrricsn
Republic.
The Californiaa will become se pars ted from
the very moment. Fxtreordinsrv mi viler es
wilt be granted both to the Commerce and the
jnhabitsnts ef the Union emigrsnts from the
Ststes will b invited to and protected in Mexi
co; snd after all these importsnt arrangementa
snd services tendered, prepared by the benefac
se if hit e unity , Grn. Ton Antonio Loprt de
Santa Anna will meet with due lerompense.
During ths term necesssry for the proper set
tlement of sll these questions, it is sgreed thst
the principal ports of the Mexican Republic will
remsin under blockade by the United Statea
squadron, to keep alive and increase the disgust
snd losthing which it must naturally bring upon
the enerajietd people, and thia will serve the pur
pose considerably of getting the sufferers to de
cisis in favor of a new revolution, and a pranun
riamtnte sgsinst the wsr. And st thst time, sn
envoy extraordinary snd minister plenipotentis
ry will be in readiness to take advantage of the
moment, and make bis appearance in Mexirn
with the olivs branch and a pacific eountensnce.
Tb people will then raiae the cry to admit him
to hear hia propositions snd the ten aining j
troops, who by that time will have taken warn
ing by experience from their lost comrades, find
ing tbeir fore and number considerssly reduced
will hsve neither vslor nor spirit enough to op
pose the will of the people ; and then Santa An
na, tsking good sdvsntsge of this opportunity
showing his influence snd intelligent tsctics, will j
obtsin new slties, and numeroua aympathiea, by
aiding the wishes of sit.

By recent sccounts from Florids, received by
j the Haltimore Sun, it seems probable that Lynch
J law has been resorted to for th punishment of
I aome thieves snd robbers in thst Stst. During
th psst s.immer, ths Ststes of Alsbama, Georgia
and Florida, wers infested with kidnappers,
horse thieves sod msil depredators, who, for a
long time, eluded the most persevering vigil
ance of their pursuers. Alvin Flowers, suppo
sed to be ths principsl, whilst on bis flight from
Georgis, robbed ths U. S. msil nesr Quincy,
Floiids He wss srrestrd on the 0th of August,
ss announced in our paper al Ihe time, and confi
ned in ths jail of thst plsce. Ths father-in law
of Flowers, with a view to prevent the driver
of the msil, who wss th only witness, from tes
tifying againat him, way-laid and shot ths driver
whilst on bis box, a night or two subsequent to
tb arreat of Flowers. The wounded msa reach
ed Quincy, where he died soon after bia arrival.
Immediate measures were taken for lbs arrest
of the murderer, and be and a r umber of hia at
complieea wer captured. A special court waa
rslled st Quincy, which resulted in the convic
tion of ths principal and five arcemplicea aa as
cesssiies to th murder. They wer alt condem
ned lo be hung on Friday last, and from lbs ex.
citement and feeling which existed in tb com

C7" Tnr. Ei.sction, en Tuesdsy Isst, wss pro
bably the smallest thst ever wss polled in this
County. The storm of wind snd rsin continued
all dsy. The consequence is thst the Hem. rsn.
didate for Congress, Mr. White, ss well ss Mr.
Prown, the democratic csndidsts for the Legis
lature, have both been defeated. The majority
for Power over Foster, for Csnal Commissioner,
is 469. The free tradera and rarty harks hsvs in
chtst received a aevere icbnk from Ihe people. It
is tim Ihst they learn that th democracy nf
PmiumIhikIi IS M ...L ..I mwktt think fc
themselves. The demoersts of Northamberlsnd
County hsve expressed themselves in Isngaag
not to be misunderstood, thst they are tot wil
ling to sbsndon ths old snd cherished democratic
policy of Jefferson, Monro and Jacktoii, of pro
tection to bom industry and American Manu
facture, and thsy bsv also decided that they
will not support corrupt and unfair nominations,
and therefore go in for the on term principle,
a truly democratic principle, which cut up
fraud and corruption by tba roots.
Th defest of Mr. Foster will not b without
its effect at Washington, and will show Southern
members that pennrylvsni freeman srs not to

Tux CarTrag r MosTaasv. We have
given up our rolumna almost exclusively to the
news from the srmy. Gen Taylor's arrriy, after
four dsys fighting, has tsken Monterey, th Isst
stronghold of the Mexicans. Gen. Worth, it
will be seen, bore a most distinguished part in
the contest. The volunteers exhibited ss much
srdor snd courage in sction, as the oldest Slid
best trained veleiansof ths regular army.
! The Mexicans hsd all the advantage of a
j choire of position, and were protects! by en-
trenchments in and around the city. Tb Ame
ricans had the worst kind vf fighting to dr., an
, engagement in the streets in which they had to
' force their way in the face of well manned bat-
teries, and amidst a gallant fire of musketry fiom
ths house tops snd paran-ts.
j The enemy defended their city with murh
bravery, and the battles were desperate encnun-
men, renld hsve svsiled sgsinst the forre with
which hey were contending. The volunteers
appear to have done their duty handsomely, mar
ching opto the firs and engaging th Mexicans
like well-tried veterans.
Col. Watson, of the Baltimore battalion fell,
fighting brsvety at the head nf hia men, in at
tempting to storm a masked battery of artillery
and musketry, which was pouring a deluge ef
grape and cannister shot, at th distance of sixty
ysrds. The rommsnd of th battslion then de
volved npon the gallant James E. Stewart, ef
Baltimore. Captsin S. greatly distinguished
h'mself, and wss, with Lieutensnt Owens, wsrtn
ly complimented by Genersl Taylor. Capt. S.
v. as attscked by five Mexicans, wh-n h lost his
sword, but be knocked one down with bis fist,
seised bis musket, and diseomfitted three irmre,
bayoneting them. Lieut. Owens led thirty men
up to the very mouth of a twelve pound battery,
which be look without the loss of a single man.
Other esamples of gallantry on ths part of the vo
lunteers sre als mentioned.
The city of Monterey, which bss fallen iota
the bands of our troops, is ths cspitsl of th Ststs
of New Leon. It is on th Fernsndo ri"er. sbout
220 miles from its mouth. It bss well paved
streets, snd mostly one-story stone buildings.
The population is about 15 000, and th city is
! situated on the main travelling roots from the
R' Grande to the city ef Menco.
C7 The storm on Tuesdsy wss so violent, as
to blow down ths frsme of Ihe new Bridge st th
moutb of the Shsmokin creek. The arches were
not quite finished The timber ia Very much
brokeo and injured. Tba contractors, we regret
lo ssy, hsve suffered heavy loss, and will, we
undsrstsnd, abandon the work if some allowance
ia not mad.
