LATEsT FROM OUR ARMY IN MEXICO. A letter dated Camnargo,.. October 22 to to the editors of the N. O.: Times, contains the following paragraphs: - "Before mly departure, the account of the departure of Gen. Ampudia from Satil. Ia with the army was fully confirmed. le proposed to lortify that town and make an other stand; therefore lie called on the ciL izens to assist him. They held a meeting and the-answer to .his call was Monterey was a town naturally easier of defence than Satillo, that it was fortified, and lie had been driven out of it, therefore they would not expose their families and prop erty to certain injury and danger. The General then left, taking the road towards San Luis Potosi. . "I have this moniei t seen a letter from Salinas, dated 18th inst., in which the wri ter states-"I heard last night that Santa A.nna .was at San Luis Potosi, with 30,000 nien, artillery and infantry. lie had sent his cavalry near Monterey, in the moun itu, to a place callejl Labradores' where ernor ai~ i eg U 9S. egg thist plate as Labraores ne r t smalig 4*, use t .a eralned a c re S.ia is much further i ro ,San Luis Potosi thtan Monterey, and that part of the Etory is but the cx. tension of a report' current at the latter place ten days before the time mentioned. As to the killing of the Texans near Lam-. pasos, it~ is anot improbable. The troops , from thet State were disbanded at Monte rey, and a number set off on the road by Salinas, Lampasos, etc., to Loredo on the t Rio Grande. They were without provi- i sions for. iliemselves, or food' for their , horses, a certain sum being allowed for each day's expences. Their organizat ion was broken up, andthey went ofT in parties, many wvithiout oilher arms than pis tol. and knives. It is very probable they ra levied contributions on the people, and in r that way got inta difliculty. At first,all the public arms were taken away, and it C was not unitsl Gen. H~endersont sent Cot. Hlays to Gen. Taylor, that the arms wvere I restoredl, to be deliverett up at h.lemar, in Texas. Manythen wvould not go to get them.'' The Commercial Times,. of No',. 2i'd, savsa "We received yesterdnay prnivate ad. ( vices from the city of Mexico, so late asr the 28th of September, wvhich state that Santa Anna had left the capital that morn ing with 20(00 cavalry and 1000 infantry, for San.
