this morning, on the Brownsville, en route to
Washington City, as bearer of despatches
He hit Monterrey at 5 P. M., on the 25th.
The City capitulated after a three day* siege
and assault, on the evening of 'he 25th. The
troops, were allowed to march out, the infan
try and cavalry with their ai ins and accoutre-J-
ments; the artillery with one battery of six
pieces, and twenty-one rounds of ammunition.
With this exception, all munitions of war,
cannon, etc., are surrendered to our forces.
The citadel evacuated on the 25th at 10
A. M. and was immediately occupicd by a
portion of Gen. Worth's division. There is
an armistice of eight weeks, in which period
oftime*neither army is to pass a line running
from the Rinconada through Linares and
San Fernando. Our loss is considerable.
Five hundred will cover the killed and
wounded. ~
We give a list of the officers killed and
wounded. While we mourn the loss of so
many: noble men, ornaments to the serviqe
and the country, we congratulate our people
upon another brilliant triumph of their arms.
Thehottest of the battle was in the streets of

the town. .Mexicans thought to make it ano-
sher Saragosa. American valor finds no ob-
stacles insurmountable; but is alike prepared
for battle in the plain or in the mountain-pass
—the siege or the guerilla, if our enemies so
will it , It is understood that Ampudia in his
interview with General Taylor, gave him to
understand that Commissioners had proceed-
ed to Washington, and may we not hope there
is an end of the spilling of blood. It is now
for Mexico and Mexicans to say, whether to
them disasters and unequal contest shall con-
tinue.
The loss of Mexicans was about the same as
ours, j General Taylor had his horse disa-
bled and fought for a long time in the streets
