Several pieces of artillery were captured. | ‘The forts that were taken were occupied by Ridgely’s | Light Artillery company, who turned the captured pieces against the Mexican works, and the cannonade | was kept up the restof theday. There were many skir- mishes, and gallant deeds, etc., etc., which I will men- | tion at afuture time. On the night of the 22d the enemy abandoned the two works which had proved so destructive to the 3d and 4th infantry. and they were occupied early next mora- | ing ssippiand Tennessee regiments, under General Quitman About 8 o'clock, same morning, these two regiments advanced on the town, and a sharp | engegement commenced These Rangers were support: | ed by @ body of Texan Rangers (dismounted fer the oc- | casion) under General Henderson, and by the 8d regi- ment of infantry. The fight was kept up until 4 o'clock PM., during which time our troops drove the enemy | from house to house, almost to the main plaza. The loss of life on our side was not severe during this day. On the mornin ofthe 24th, a flag of truce was sent in, which resulted in the capitulation of the town, During the whole of the engagement on the 21st, Col. Kinney was exceedingly useful in carrying orders, and in giving advice in matters with which his thorough ac- quaintence with Mexican customs rendered him fami- lier, He was in the thickest of the fight, moving about from point to point, and doing good execution with his | rifle. This gentleman’s services have been invaluable to Gen Taylor in the movements of the army from Ma- tamoras to this place. He has been everywhere, recon- noitering the country, and procuring information, riding | night and day, and exposing his life in a thousand ways. | The Colonel never flinched from any duty required of him, and hed Gen. Taylor ordered him to go and bring him Ampudia’s portfolio, he would have undertaken it. | I devote @ paragh to a mention of this gentleman's ser- | vices, because he deserves much from the public, for whom he has labored so arduously and so efficiently. Our killed and wounded, in taking Monterey, amount- ed to about five hundred, nearly three hundred killed.— | -Some time will olapse before the number will be known accurately, but it is well known that few prisoners were taken by the Mexicans.

The Victory of Monterey. 3 | ‘The city was thrown into a state of the greatest excitement yesterday morning, by the gratifying intelligence of the brilliant victory achieved by General Taylor and bis troops, at the storming] of Monterey It is with feelings nota little pleasing, that we allude to the account of the victory over the Mexi- can forces at Monterey, the full particulars of which we give on the outside of this day’s Herald. It is no more than we expected ; but, on the pre- sent occasion of our success, we feel constrained to observe that the troops of Mexico,under Ampudia, made a much more formidable resistance than we thought they would be able to stand up to. It is true they fired from behind brick walls, but still they fought for three days, Jt was, however, one of the most wnequal contests in the annals of war; there were twelve thousand Mexicans in houses and under cover, against six thousand Americans fight- ing inthe open streets. The more severe the resis™= ance of the enemy, the greater glory, of course, set- | tles down upon the banner of our own army ; and while disposed to give our enemy credit for his | gallantry, and generously indisposed to exult over his defeat, we must, nevertheless, allude in terms of triumph to the gallant achievement performed | by our own forces—an achievement which has | placed the fair city of Monterey under the surveil- | lance of General Taylor and the American flag. | ‘The most interesting part of the success of our | arms in the present case is, the proof of valor in the volunteer corps of our brigades. It appears that they stood to their guns well—bravely in deed—and rivalled with success the indefatigable We now | | and stoic energy of our regular troops. | are fully aware, that the volunteer force can | be relied on as effective in all our future opera- ions; and we hope the Mexican government will atleast open their eyes and see the neces- sity for coming to some arrangement, without further delay. | The continued battles of three days duration, | must have occasioned great losses on both sides | —the accounts state them to be at least five hun- dred in killed and wounded, on each side ; the victory, therefore, has been dearly bought.— Many a brave spirit has fought and died for his country. The only consolation is, under the cir- cumstance, that the loss occasioned to ourselves is also as great to our adversary, and will bea | lesson in blood to them. War cannot be carried | on without wounds being given and received, and | honorable feeling must comtort itself by the re- flection, that all who have fallen, have fallen in | defence of their country—and the survivers will see that those who are no more, shall be remem- | bered in their death, and live emblazoned in the ' future pages of historic fame. Gen. Taylor ap- | pears to have outdone his previous efforts, and to have arranged his plans in a way that made a | failure almost impossible. We are proud to be | able to pen this additional record of his military | skill amd the bravery of our troops. Our readers will have perceived that it was re- ported by telegraph that an armistice of eight weeks duration was prociaimed, as a portion of | the terms of capitulation. This, we are lead to believe, from the accounts since received, is incor+ tect. Should it be true, however, Gen. Taylor | in that time, have ‘an opportunity to add to strength of the works thrown up by. in Monterey, so that if the latter, reliewed by Gen. Sales, from the Mexican capital, should, at the end of said eight, or five, or three weeks, attempt to retake the city, it will have been made im- pregnable. Gen. Taylor, therefore, by the terms of the capitulation, which many may consider too liberal, has wisely environed himself by his magnanimity, within the formidable fastness of iron security; and while there, he can organise his forces in such a way as to make all future at- tacks upon the Mexicans, a succession of victo- nes, The armistice said to have been granted by General Taylor has nothing to do with the move- ‘ments of the other divisions of the aimy, or with Commodore Conner, or with the contemplated attack upon Tampico. All our military and na- val operations, other than those under the imme- diate control of General Taylor, will be prozecut- ed with the same vigor as ever—as if, in fact, no armistice had been entered into at Monterey.— And, as the intelligence published in this morn- ing’s Herald states, the cessation of hostilities is only till General T. can hear from Washington; he will not, however, remain long in doubt how to act, as fresh orders for his guidance left the ‘War Department for the camp over a week ago. It is now very likely that as the Mexicans, hav~ ing been beaten in one of their strongholds, ané | Ampudia whipped into capitulation, that thy Peace Commissioners, John Slidell and William | L. Parrott, will be sent to accompany the army igi its future progress towards the Halls of the Mon- tezumas. The intelligence from Mexico will continue to | be of the geeatest importance. \ | City In 5 Association of Invertion.— body held their an- nual meeting at Mechanics’ Hall, yesterdgy at 9 o’clock, A.M, James Renwick, E.sq., President, in the chair.

Cochin China, Bir- mah, Persia, and the Indian Archipelago, each possessing inexhaustible sources of commercia) wealth, would in their rr ihe resort of our merchants; and taking ideration the ad- venturous spirit of our people, there is every rea- son to believe that our Commercial marine would in short time be the greatest in the world. In exchange for our exports, Persia would send us her fruits, Precious stones, cashmere shawls,carpets, drugs; Burmah her precious metals, rubies, sapphires, serpentine, catechu, elephants’ teeth, orpiment and teak wood; Co- chin China its raw silk, spices, dye wood, gold dust and Japan would give us her dia- monds, and précious metals, ambergris, corals, ‘on those ‘our govern- of our com- places, as be necessary | for our citi- as would put footing with pearls, &c. Even already we find that American cotton, gre the principal articles exchanged at the f annual fair of Berbera. But itienot alone in Asia and the islands scat- teted'over the Pacific, that our merchants wil] extend their trade. The Comoro Islands and others, and the countries of the interior of Africa, offer iyamense advantages in trade and com- merce. Ameriean manufactures have been al- ready introduced into Abyssinia, and with the Barbazy States we have for several years carried on extensive commercial transactions. With China our trade has increased wondertully since we succeeded in opening negotiations with that country. ‘Woe understand that Great Britain has conclud- eda secret treaty of commerce with Siam, by which she has secured to herself a monoply of | Privileges and advantages, with the right of in- troducing into Siam a number of articles hitherto prohibited. In January, 1846, Mr. Palmer wrote to the Pre- | sident of the United States, suggesting the expe- | dienay of sending 2 commissioner to proceed successively to Johanna, Teheran, from Bushire, Rangoon, Amurapoora, Hué, Borneo, Celebes, Nangaski, Jedd, and to land at Zanzibar, Mus- cat, Singapore, Manilla, the privileged ports ot China, and the Loo Chooand Bonin Islands— such commissioner to be clothed with plenipo- tentiary powers to gpen commercial relations with all those places enumerated, and several others, and to have achief secretary, a limited number of attaches, anda physician. The object | would be to put American commerce, in those re- | mote places, on a permanenit footing, and to open new markets for the trade aif our merchants. ‘We trust this suggestion will be acted on. We know nothing that would conduce more to the advancement of our commerce than such a mis- sion. We have thus mesely glancad at the outline of the immense comreercial fabric that is about to be raised by our mexchants and navigators. The subject is too vast for one article, and having thus sketched the outlines, we will, on some other oc- casion, fill up with the details.
