Memoranda of the operations of the American Army before Mon- j terey, Mexico, from the 19th to the 21th September. (KrWe are greatly iudebted lo Mr.-W. P. JBaundebs, who came passenger on the Allegheny Mail, for a copy of the N. O. Picayune of the 5th insL, containing highly interesting news from General Taylor's Army, ' which will be found below. The news was ' brought to fe w Orleans by the Steamship ; James L. Day, that also brought Capt. Ea- . ton, one of the aids of General Taylor, bearing despatches for Washington. ? We give two statements of the transactions the others differing very slightly .during the. three days seige, which, aliho' it terminated gloriously for our arms, has lost to the country many valuable lives. - - Almost all the different accounts set down .ur loss at 500 or over, cf whom "300 were killed. The fighting was desperate on our 'side, the Mexicans out numbering General Taylor's Army two to one, and were protec ted by strong entrenchments. Gen. Worth, who led tne attack, upon the city on the west side, has immortalized him self. The Tennessee, Mississippi,.. Texas, and a , portion f the Kentucky and Ohio Volunteers were in all the engagements and ..did most efficient service. Our Indiana boys were not there, niore's the pity, for we I now they would have been some in the fight. We have not time to say more. The following b&st tell the character of the fight. On the 19ih Gen. Taylor arrived before Monterey, wilh a force of about C0OO men, ami after reconnoiieringthe city nt about 1500 or 1600 yards from the cathedral fort, during which lie was fired upon by its batteries', his force was encamped at the Walnut Springs, 3 miles short f the city. ThiH was the nearest position at which the army could obtain a supply of water, and bt beyond the reach of the enemy's batteries. The remainder of the 19ili wan occupied by the engineers in making recinno.u ncos ol the city, batteries and commanding heights. X)n the 20ih Gen, Worth was ordered with his division to move by a circuitous route to the Tight, to gain the fc'aUi;lo road beyond the west of the town and to storm the heights above the Bishop's Palace, which vital point the enemy appear to have strangely neglected. Cireum stances caused his hault on the night of the 20th, short of the intended position. On the morning of the 2lst he continued his route, and after an encounter with a large body of the enemy's cavalry and infantry, supported by artillery from the beigets, he repulsed them villi loss, and finally encamped, covermo the passagelof the Saltillo road. It was here dis covered, that besides the fort at the Bishop's ralace and the occupation ol the heights above ;, two fort a on commanding . eminences, on the opposite side of the San Juan, had been fortified and occupied- These two tatter heights were then stormed and. carried the guns ol the last fort' carried , being immediately turned with a plunging tire upon the bishop's ralace. On this same morning the 1st Division of regu. lar troops, under Jjen., Twigs, and the Volunteer Pivision under Gen- Butler, were ordered under arms td make a diversion to the left of pf the town, in lavor of the important operations cf Gen Worth. The 10 inch mortar and two 24 pounder howitzers, had been put in battery the night of the20(h, in a ravine 1400 yards distant from the cathedral fort or citadel, and were supported by the 4tii Regiment of Infantry. At 8 A. M. on the 21st the order wag given for this battery t.o open the citadel mid town, and immediately after the 1st Division with the 3d and 4th Infantry in advance, under Co! Garland, were ordered to reconnoitre and skermish vriththe enemy on the extreme left of the city, nd should prospect of success offer, m carry the most advanced battery. This attack was directed by Maj. Mansfield, Engineer, Capt. "Williams. Topographical Engineer, and Maj Kinney, Q. SI . 10 the Texas Division. A heavy lire from ihe first battery was immediately opened upon the advance, but the troops soon turned, entering and eugaging with the enemy ir in the streets ol ibe city, having passed through an incessant tire from the Citadel and ihe first and second batteries, and from the infantry who lined ihe parapets, streets and house tops ef the city. The rear of the 1st battery was soon turned, and the reverse lire of the troops through the gorge of the works killed or dislodged the artilleiisis and infantry from it, pnd the building occupied by the infantry iiir

GL

mediately in fts rear. The 1st Division was

followed and supported by the Tannessee and j Mississippi and 1st Ohio Regiments the two former regiments being the first to scale and occupy the tort. The success of the day here stopped. The Tennessee, . Mississippi and Ohio Regiments, jhough warmly engaged in the sts., of the city lor a time alter ibe capture of the 1st battery and its adjoining defences, were unable from exhaustion and the loss they had suffered, to gain more advantage. A heavy shower of rain also came up to cause a suspension of hostilites before the close of the day . The 3d, 4th and 1st Infantry and the Baltimore Battalion, remained as the garrison of the captured position under Col. Garland, assisted by Capt. Ridgely's battery . 2 twelve pounders, one 4 pounder,and 1 howitzer, were captured in this fort, 3 officers and some 20 or 30 men taken prisoners. One ol the 12 pounders was served against the 2d fort and defences, with captured ammunition during the remainder of the day, by Capt Ridgelv. The storming parties of Gen. Worth's Division also captured 2 nine pounders, which were also immediately turned against its for mer owners. On the morning of the 22J Gen Worth con tinued his operations, and portions of his Division stormed and carried successively the heigho above the Bishop's Palace. Both were earned by a command under Capt. Vinton, 3 Artillery In these operations the company of Louisiana troops under Capt. Blanchard performed efficient and gallant service as pa't of Capt. Vinton's command, rout pieces 01 artillery, witn a good supply of ammunition, were captured in the Bishop's Palace this day, some ol which were . immediately turned upon toe enemy's defences in the city. On the evening of the 22d Col. Garland and his command were relieved as the garrison of the captured forts by Gen Quit-. man with ibe Tennessee ana Mississippi nogimeuts, and 5 companies of the Kentucky Regi ment. " Early on the morning of the 23J, Gerf. Quit man, from tn.s position, discovered that the 2nd and 3rd forts and defences east of the city had besn entirely abandoned by the enemy, who ap prebeoding another assault on t be night ol the 22d. had retired from all the defences! to the main plaza and its immediate vicinity. A com mand of 2 companies of Mississippi and 2 of Ten nessee troops were then thrown into the streets to reconnoitre, and soon became hotly engaged with the enemy, these were soon supported by Col. Wood's regiment of Texas Rangers, dis mounted, by Bragg'a Light Battery and 3d Infantry ; the enemy's fire was constant and uninterrupted from the streets, house tops, barri cades,., in the -vicinity of theplaza. Ihe pieces of Braesr's battery were also used with much effect tar into the heart ol the city this ensrasement lasted the best part ol the day, our troons having driven the scattered parties of the enemy, and penetrated quite to the defences of the mainplaza. me advantage inus gaineu, 11 was not considered necessary to hold, as the enemy had permanently abandoned the city &, itsdetenccs, except the main plaza, its immedi ate vicinity and the cathedral tort or citaaei. Early in the afternoon (same aay;tjcn worm assaulted from the Bishop's' Palace the west side of the city, and succeeded in driving the enemy and maimaing his position within a short distance of the main plaza on that side of the city ; towards evsning the mortar had also been planted in the Cemetery enclosure, and during the night did great execution in the circum scribed camp ol the enemy in the plaza thus ended tne operations ot the zJd. Early on the morning of the 24th, a communication was sent to Gen. Taylor, from General Ampudia, under a flag, making an offer of capitulation, to which the former refused to accede, as it asked more than the American commander would under any circumstances grant; at the same time a demand to surrender was in reply made, upon Gen. Ampudia. ,12 M. was the hour at which the acceptance or non-acceptance was to be communicated to the American General. At 11 A. M., the Mexican General sent, requesting a personal conference with Gen. Taylor, which was granted; the principal officers of tans on either side accompanying their Generals. Alter several otters in relation 10 the capitulation of the city made on either sideand refused, at halt sast 4, P. M., General Taylor arose and said he would give Gen, Ampucia one hour to consider and accept or refuse, left the conference with his officers. At the expiration of. the hour, the discharge of the mortar was to be the signal for the recommence ment of hostilities. Before the expiration ol the hour, however, an officer was sent on the part ot Gen. Ampudia, to inform the American General that to avoid the further effusion 0 blood, and the national honor beiog satisfied by the exertions of the Mexican troops, he had. after consultation with his General Officers, de cided to capitulate, acc eptiiig the offer of the American General. - The terms of capitulation were in effect Us follows : . That the officers should be allowed to march out with their siue arms. That the cavalry and infantry should be al lowed to march out with their arms and accou trements. 'lb at the anilery should be allowed to march out w itli one battery ot six pieces, and twenty one rounds of ammunition. That all other munitions of war and supplies should be turned over to a board of American officers appointed lo receive them. . That the Mexican army should be allowed seven days to evacuate the city, and that ihe American troops should not occupy it until evacuated. That the cathedral, fort or citadel should be evacuated at 10 o'clock A . M., next day, (25th) the Mexicans then marching out and the Amer ican garrison marching in. The Mexicans al lowed to salute iheir flag when hauled down .. That there should be an armistice of eight weeks, during which lime neither army should pass a line running from the Ricconada through La nares and ban r ernaudo. The lenient offer of the American General was dictated with the concurrence of his gene rals and by motives of good policy and conside ration tor the good defence of their city by the Mexican army. .

Gentlemen: This city has capitulated on the following terms: The Mexican soldiers shall be permitted to march out of town with their small arms and six small fiel j pieces, leaving all their munitions of war behind, with, all their artillery and public stores. - Thoy are to retire to Linares, sixty miles hencC and almost thirty miles north of Saltiltto. and are not to approach nearer than that to this place within sixty days; or until each party can hear

from thoir respective government. Am

pudia kept Uon, lay lor until nearly midnight last night preparing the terms etc. Many persons particularly tne lexan volunteers who fought so bravely, are displeased at these terms. The town was all but in our hands, and they believed could have been taken in three hours. I believe that it would hive required much more hard fighting to have taken it. but this was not thequestion with Gen Taylor. He and all his officers knew perfectly well, of, course, that the town could be taken, but he wanted no prisoners to take up his time and eat substinace, but he did have an ob ject in view which will be reachod by tho terms 01 this capitulation, and that object will lead to a result most beneficial to our Government, under whose advice or orders Gen. Taylor acted in agreeing to these terms. As I have a few moments to spare before the express goes out this morning (he was detained last night by tho slow progress ot business with Ampuda) I will speak of the operations of Gen. T. on his side of.the town. Major Mansfield, of the Engineers, reconnoitered tho enemy's works on the night of the, 19th but could obtain no very accurate information, aitaoupn he ap proached very near to some of them on the heights. On tha 20th Lieut. Scarritt and Lieut. Pope were sent out to reconnoiter the works; Scarritt on tho right sd Pope on the left of the town Thoialtes approached and discoveaed-a """battery on the extreme left, and was exposed to a five ofcannon and musketry from Lancers, from which after finishing his observations, he retired in safety. On the night of the 20th the mortar and howitzer batteries were placed in a position to play on the strong holds around the citidel. The b . . I action commenced on the morning ot the 21st by the opening of these two batteries. Col. Garland's Brigade were ordered to move to the left for the purpose of storming the battery discovered by Lieut. Pope the day before, and occupy, if possible the lower port of the city. Major , Mansfield, Capt. Williams and Lieut. Popo were ordered in advance to select the most avail point of attack and to direct the movement of the other column upon it.. Three companies were thrown forward as skirmishers and advanced rapidly upon the works, followed by the Brigade in line of battle under a cross-fire of artillery from the cit adel and lort, and a heavy fire of musket ry. The column charged into a street about 200 yards wide to the right of the battery, passed , tho works entirely, and effected an enterance to Ihe town. After advancing rapidly about 400 yards beyond the battery, they came immediately in front of a masked battory of artillery and musketry, which swept the street com pletely by its range. Tho barricades of tho streets at sixty yards distant from the head of the column, were lined with Maxi can troops, who entirely covered them selves, opened a murderaus discharge of grape and musketry upon the advancing column. Every house in the street va9 pierced for " musketry and enfladed the street in every direction. Under this fire the following officers wore killed or mor, tally wounded: '" Major Barber 3d Infantry by grapo shot-in tho abdomen: Capt. VYilliams. lopographical . Engineers, shot throup-h th body by muskot ball, fell in tho street and was dragged into the doorway of a house by Lieut. Pope, under a shower of balls that covered him with dust Tha gallantry of this young officer, now in his first battle, is spoken of in terms of ad-; miration by the Army. Capt. mHianis; died next day and was burried with the honors of war by the Maxican troops, into! whose hands he had fallen, Lieut. Terrett j 1st Infantry shot through the body, died next day. It being impossible, in tho opinion of the Engineer Officers to effect anyting in attacking tho barricades in front, tho column moved rapidly up a street to the right, with the intention of turning them. Boing reinforced by the Ohio Regiment, a second charge was made, under the direction of Con. Butler, which, owing to the tremendous fire of musketry and grape from the barricades and stone houses.likewise proved ineffectual. The troops were then ordered by Gen. Taylor to retire in good order and get under cover from the enemy fire, which order was handsomoly executed. During the engagement in town of Garland's Brigade, the forts that wero. passed on the left in entering the town, were gallantly carried by the Tennessee and Mississippi regiments the first commanded by Col. Campbell, and the second by Col. Davis. Liout. Col, McClung, of the Mississippi regiment, was dangerously wounded. These regiments sustained a great loss, of killed and wounded, but I cannot in the short time left me. ascertain the names ot number of those who fell. Cap.. Bragg's battery of Light Artillery was brought into action, but as it was impossible to use it effectively, it was withdrawn. Several pieces of artillery were captured. The forts that were taken were occupied by Ridg'ey's light artillery .company, who turned the captured pieces, against the Mexican works and the cannonade was kept up the rest ot the day. There were many skimishes, and gallant deeds, etc., etc., which 1 will mention at a future time. On the night of the 22d the enemy aban doned the two works wbich had proved so destructive to the 3d and 4lh Infantry,and they were occupied early next morning,by the Mississippi and Tennessee regiments, under Gen. Quitman. About 3 o'clock, same -morning, those two regiments ad vanced on the town and a sharp engagement commenced, j. nese regiments were sup ported by a body 01 1 exan Rangers, (dis mounted for the occasion.) under GenHenderson, and by the 3d Regiment of Infantry. Tho fight was kept up until 4 o'clock, P. M., during which time our troops drove the enemy from house to house, al most to the main plaza. Ihe loss oflifo on our side was not severe during this day. On the morning of the 24th, a flag of truce was sent in, which resulted in tho capitulation of the town. During the whole of the engagement on the 21st., Col. Kinnoy was exceedingly

useful in carrying orders, and in giving advice in matters with which his thorough acquaintance with Mexican enstoms rendered him familiar. He was in the thickest of the fight, moving about ' from point to point, a ad doing good execution with his rifle. Tbis gentleman's services have been invaluable to Gen. Taylor in tho movements of the army ffom Matamoras to this place. He has been everywhere, reconnotering the country, and procuring information riding night and day, and exposing his life in a thousand ways. The Colnever flinched from any duty required of him, and had Gen. Taylor ordered him fc go and bring him Ampudia's portfolio, he would have undertaken it. I devote a paragsaph to a mention of this gentleman's services, because he deserves much from tho public, for whom he has labored so arduously and so efficiently. H. P. S. Our killed and wounded, in taking Monterey, amounted to about five hundred, nearly three hundred killed. Sometime will elapse before the number will be known accurately, but it is well known that few prisoners were taken by the Mexicans.

Old Rough and Ready. A letter from VVashington says Rumor says that Old Rough and Ready has written a long epistle to Young Hickory (Polk,) that he has gone far enough into Mexico for all useful purposes, that he has found no gold mines or boxes of diamonds in the chapparals; but his men keep up the old habit of getting hungry at least ones in 21 hours; and that he' has neither horses, nor mules, nor jackasses, nor negroes, nor wagons, nor, carls, nor bread, nor pork, nor beef, nor whiskey, nor meal, nor flour, nor coffee, nor sugar, nor salt, nor potatoes, nor rnrn. 'anil nuts in a unril In lhf Spprpfnru r.l y ' . r, . , . 1 var aDoui ma necessity 01 paicning pantaloous sometimes,) and that should he get safely into Monterey, he will stay there, un less the department shall send him the mis cellaneous articles hereinbefore mentioned And he talks, too, of certain moneys, and of the dilhculty of passing treasury drafts, in the English tongue, among a people who speak only 'an indifferent Spanish. Report whispers, too, that Mr. Polk and his counsellors especially Marcy and Walker, are sorely perplexed thereat, wlrle Buchanan says that matter had" better have been left, to him to negotiate; because he did not get 51 40 of the British, he is certain he could bully it out of the Mexicans. i , P. S. Father Ritchie has cleaned out all cavilling upon the Oregon' question. He has clearly established the 3 following propositions: 1. That Mr. Polk began with 54 40 . " 1. That, though he offered 49, and sighed 40 still . ; -.V. . 3. That he never was, never has been, and pever can be satisfied wilh any thing short ol 54 40, especially in respect of Mexico. ..

The large increase of patronage, since it came under the control of the undersigned induces the belief, that his efforts to sustain a first , class Hotel are appreciated, and devoting hie undivided and personal attention to his business, his guests may be assured of every comfort and attention. The "Exchange" adjoins tha great steam Boat Landing, affording travelers wishing to go . up or down the river great conveniences, and a a watch is kept day and night to secure to them . the earliest conveyance. The excellent line of Mail Couches to tbe North, intersecting at Vincenues with all ite , routs concentrated there depart from the "Ex-y change" every Monday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, and the large livery stable at-' tached will furnish extras at any moment, to forward travellers onward. . . . ,r , With these facilities, pf so much moment to , tne Businessman, me unaersignea once more solicits patronage on the ground that he intends i to deserve it. : . .
