"I was quite upwell at Point Isabel for two
or three weeks, so much so as to be unable to
accompany my troops BY land from Matamoras
to this place. arrived here week since, and
though still feeble, was sent into the country
the same day to select an encampment for the
army. The hot sun caused relapse and am
still on the sick list General Taylor spent an
hour with me yesterday. He has appointed
next Saturday to leave this place for Monte
rey. a


A portion of the army. under Gen. Worth,
is already at Cerralvo, 20 miles distant. A
brigade Of foot leaves Tomorrow for the same
destination, and it is hoped by Saturday that
the remainder of the troops. which have been
selected to accompany the General, will be in
movement. The mounted men and light ar
tiIlery, will be the last to move. Monterey is
distant about one hundred and fifty miles, and
it is calculated that we shall be there BY the
Goth or 25th Of the next month. The General
will take with him between 5000 and 6OOO
troops. mostly regulars, one division Of volun-
teers only under the command Of Major Gen.
Butler. The want Of transportation compels
him TO leave behind many regiments Of volun-
teers, whom he would be otherwise delighted
to take with him. Small as this force is to in
wade country of 100000 of inhabitants, it
is thought ample to fight and whip any army
that may oppose US.
