Rio Granpx, Oct. 16th, 1846, Letters from Monterey represent that the Army are quietly resting from their labors. Two divisions are encamped at the Walnut Springs, three miles in front of the town. These are Butlers’ and Twigg’s. The other is distributed through the city, an1 occupy ‘ing the forts upon the surrounding heights. Every day the 7th in- fantry parades in the main Plaza. ‘The th encamps in the Plaza de Carne. Two companies of tho artillery battalion garrison the citadel fort before the city ; two arein the Bishop's Palace: two in the Cathedral, and others in the smaller works. The American flag flies from every point. Sights and sounds ara stra to the inhabitants, many of whom scarcely kuew the existence ofa mighty power, which should ever dare to invade their great country. Since the last attempt of Spain to reconquer her revolted colonies, and her signal repulse ‘at Tampico in 1829, the Mexicans have bolieved in their absolute invincibility. Spain, they argued, was the great-' est power onearth ; the armies of Spain were destroyed as soon as they set foot upon our sacred soil. The banks of the Pamuco, the exploits of Morelos, Hidalgo and Iturbide, proclaim our own valor, and warn other na- tions of their fate when they send an army to enter Mex- ican territory ; thus they reason ; such has been the burden oftheir appeals and proclamations. The aston- ishment of the people, after all this, at beholding another race in possession of the beautiful city of Monterey, know? no beunds. It isoften said that the war has but just begua ; thatthe ignorance and prejudice of the poole great, that they are not yet convinced of le, are 80 or rierity ; and that their obstinacy is so remark: al that lon after the world is sat of their inal lity fo cope with us, they wil aill held out. think differently. Our three great victories ha opened the se ad the enemy. They not eager new proefs of a fact which they were at first extremel: reluctant to learn.

It may be added in reference to every they have contested, that, like Francis the First, he bas lost all May we not now hope, the honor of thi magnanimous nation” a saved, r its rulers and wise men may be induced to n to the lenient terms of another magnanimous na- tion, which would not crush a sister republic. @ur sick and wounded at Menterey nro well provided for.

Alter looking about us, we are astonished at the ‘amount of rty which fell into our hands. The ordnance officer reports that there is suficient powder ‘to answer our purpese during a pretty long war. The :phemy seems to have had more regara for the means of directly injuring us, than of subsisting themselves, no considerable supply of provisions having been }oid in. The Mexican commander hi ‘noWNn somewhat ir imately to many of the Texans engaged at Monterey.

Morales” On the 29th of September the Governor addressed Gen’ Taylor the following note : Multitudes of complaints have been made to this govern- town, and there is no picquet stationed on the Saltillo road in that vicinity.

Taylor and nearly all the officers. No news yet from the first mail thet was captured by the enemy. Another large mail started from Camargo a The army is settling down quietly to wait for further orders. ¢ retailers of ardent spirits have nearly all been ferreted out, and compelled to vamos, or shut Ui shop. A number of Mexicans have been murdered in the outskirts of the city within the last two days, by some of the outlaws who have attached them- selves to the volunteers. Yesterday afternoon two Mexican officers who were leaving the city, called on General Worth. Soon after leaving Rim, and just after Passing through the middle plaza, orderly of one of them, who rode rt distance be- hind, was shot through the heart by a discharged volun- teer Ranger. The feelings of the army were very much outraged by this diabolical act. The perpetrator of the foul deed is now in limbo, and will, { trust, be hung. Anorder kas just been issued by Gen. Worth, directing thet after the ca- pitulation, the Mexicans spoke of Gen. Lamar, (who ap- pears to be well known to them,) in terms of extrava- gant admiration They said he seemed to bear a charm- ed life—that they saw him. in almost every street of the city where the battle raged most fiercely——that, as inthe battle of San Jacinto, he waqa mark for many a Mexican ball, which they imagined he could only escape by the interposition, in his behalf, of some supernatural aid.
