I have the pleasure of saying to your Excellen

people who have) not ceased to bestow upon me
profuse marks of consideration, and the earns re

One of the Artt acts of the wily generalissimo
was to supply himself with funds. This ha did
very, effectually, by seizing upon eonduela of
pcie. thereby getting held of two millions of
itollara. Hia pretext was that it waa unsafe to
forward thia large amount of money to the sea
coast in the present state ol affairs. He gave
receipt for the money and hia individual bend
for its restoration. It must be confessed that
thia mode of supplying hia coffers is infinitely
more expeditious than advertising for a loan, and
more acceptable to the people at large than a
forced loan from the clergy.
The accounts we give of this greet financial
stroke we do net derive from Mexican papers,
hut we have entire faith in the facta. We trnst
hey will be satisfactory to English merchants,
and be accepted as an earnest of the security of
the money they loaned Mexico on the mortgage
f the California. Wo Bad Santa A ana's letter
of the 10th ult in the latest paper before ns.
We regret to say that the papva glvo na no do
to his plan of operations.
. But while Santa Aetna waa on hia way to San
Luis ho wrote back from Queretaro, on the 3d
of October, aa follows: "The disaster, which
we encountered at Monterey ia not so great as
I at first thought. Our troops have left for Sal
tillo, and have already occupied the principal
point of the Sierra. So far from the troops ha
ving become demoralized,' I am assured that
ereat enthusiasm prevails among them. Their
success has cost the enemy, according to ineon
ttible evidence, more than fifteen hundred men.
'Oiir artillery wee well managed, and it is aaid
that the enemy believe it was served by French
officers. ''.'
"I am now about to unfold all my character,
with the energy which ia habitant to mo, and the
' Americans will very soon auecumb, or I shall
cease to exist." Upon copying thia effuaioa of
Santa Anna, the Dion breaka forth : "May hea
ven crown with the most brilliant reaults the
patriotism of the illustiioas child of his country ,
whom we ardently desira to tee return to the
.capital cotrered with glory." .
We now for the first time learn what fruits
the Mexicana derived from the seizure of our
mails near Marin,' intennVd for General . Taylor
' at Monterey. Among the rojiltitod of papers
forwarded by Ampudia to Santa Anna and the
Government, we And a letter from our Secrete
ryof War, Mr. Marcy, to Gen. Taylor, reveal
ing toe design upon Tampiro and Saa Luia P.
tosi. The letter is dated Washington, Sept. 9d,
and though our accounts of ta contents of the
letter will be an old etnry at Washington, w
may say here that the design of the Secretary's
letter i to obtain Gen. Taylor'a opinWn, rather
thaq to dictate a line of proceedings for kin. J
ia told what the Government ha thought of do
ing, and aaked what ho think about it. Ta Go
vernment refers to him for information upen va
rious points as to tbs difficulties of his own ad.
vane w hether he deems it advisable to con
tinue hi march upon San Luis Potosi, and va
rious kindred topic a.
The letter purines it inquiries ia the snoot
ik-cIu! terms, deferring it to th .better Judg.
nunt of Gen, Taylor J but it of rears discloses
our plans, the nun.ber of troop intended to be
used against Tampico,' and some other' 'general
particular. 1 The letter of Gen. Arapodia, tov.
ring Mr-Marey' despatch,' contains)
paragraph, if, in our hast, w rightly appre
hend it.' It is to the following effect "Every
moment which panei ewflrm my idea of th
immense advantage w ha gained from fight
ing four consecntiv daya at j Monterey, since
now the enemy entertains great rcfpectHbr th
Mexican soldier, and American blood flowed
with siirh profusion that from the Generate of the

. ..The Mexican accounts of the battles of Mon
terey are more numerous than have been - pub
lished in The United States. As a matter of ne
cessity, they praise very highly the valor of our
troops, and they insist upon the obitinacy and
pallantry of, th defence. The movement of
Gen Worth on th West side of the town are de
scribed as very brilliant'

capturing at the same time three hundred Ame
ricana and eight piece of artillery. Some Of
their first account declared that Gen.' Worth
wat killed. From Saltillo, Gen. Ampudia wrote
to hit government demanding t Investigation
of his conduct, both before and after Gen. Tay
lor presented himself nt Monterey. ; He court
soruteny, alleging that "as th laws of honor and
the food of fait country aro the only elements of
his existence, his mind cannot be tranquil until
th Secretary of War, the supreme government,
and th fteevsblic are satisfied with his conduct,
considered under every aspect" ... .
This humhle letter does not save him from
th letter writer. They charge him with th
grossest cowardice and incompetency. But we
have neither time oor space to-day to enter fur
ther into tho Mexican accounts of the battles.
One thing we must note, however. Almost all
their accounts say that they refused to capitu
late until w agreed to saint their flag ; and
then they boast ostentatiously that th Ameri
cans did in fact salute their, flag. Before the
two month' armistice expires, the Mexicans
count confidently that Santa Anna will have an
army around him which will prevent any fur
ther advance of Gen. Taylor. ',
