Camp before Monterey, Sept. 25, 1640 8i: At non no th 23d in at., while our sr.mp were closely engaged in the tower pan ft th city, ti reported in my last despatch, 1 V'treired by a flag a communication from the ifovernorof the atateof Ion, which ia herewith ncWd, (No. 1.) To thia communicatinn, I dmned it iny duty to return an answer declin in; to allow the inhabitante to liave the city. By eleven o'clock, P. M.t the 2d division, which had entered the town from the direction of the Bishop's Palace, had advanced within one square of the pricipal plata, and occupied the city up to that point. The mortar had, in the meantime, been placed in the battery in the einetcry, within good range of the heart of the town, and was served throughout the night with Ifood effect. Eirly in the morning of the IMth, I received a fiig from the town, bearing a communication from Ueneral Ampudia, which I enclose, (No. '! ) and to which I returned the answer, (No. 3 ) I also arranged with the bearer id the flag a relation or fire until 12 o'clock, which hour 1 fyrrinted to receive the final answer of Gen. AnpV'?'a at Gen. WortVe headquarter. B.? tore (hi appointed time, however, General Am pudia ban e.'tjnificd to General Worth hie desire or a person '! interview with me, for the pur pose of snaking eome definite arrangement.

It will be aeen that the terms fronted the Mexican garrreon are lesa rigorous than those irl ienpoied. The gallant defence of the town id the fact of a recent change of government in Mexico believed tcr be favorable to the inter--Kt of peace, induced iie to concur with tho 'im mission in these tern which will, I ttust, receive the approval of the government. The lter consideration also pre inpted the conven tion for a temporary cessation of hostilities. Though scarcely warrant ed by wy instructions, yet the change of affaire a 'nee those inttruc one were issned serened to warrant thia nure.

They are not, however, whig victories, but may be pro perly termed tsriflT victories. Tbe inclemency of the weather, no doubt, in some mesiure, ope rated unfavorably ; but the great snd powerful sgenry in this genersl upheaving of the political elements wss McKay's odious tariff bill. It did not require the inspiration of a prophet to foresee thst such must be the result. The democisry, i and in fact the whole people of Penmylvania, are opposed to Mr. Wslker's Southern policy, which tends to place the labor of the North snd F.ait on a level with thst of the Southern slave. They are in favor of the protection of home indutry and domestic manufactures, the policy of Jeffer son, Monroe ond Jar V ton. The attempt, there fore, to drive the democracy of Pennsylvania in to the policy of free trade, as wss the csie in the recent elections, will slwsys end in defeat, snd must in the end result in the destruction of the democratic party.
