by a ro;v ol very high and substantial houses, th>*
second stories of which project into the *ireft the
width of the pavement, the lower stories are occupied
by tbs principal retail merchants of the c*f. The
most of these houses wne built by Cortes, who, with

Ttie president’s palace, lormeily the jml ie ol tin

about five hundred f et in length, and three hundred

Montezuma. It is difficult to conceive ol mo much

and imposing chape; it n * much rn re ihe appear

isaity is; the wir.duw* are ► nihil, and a {aropet wail
runs-the whole length of the building, with n thing to
relieve the monotony of its appearance, except some
very indifferent ornamental work in t •* centre ; then
are no doors in the front, either t the serond or third

end too many of them ; the time doors, and there arc
only three in the lower story, tie dentilute of all archi

that their wealth should be made known to its fillx- :

formation upon tho sulj'cf, or to exhibit the gold and
liver vessels, vag- s, precious s'oncs, and other fi>rma
of wealth ; quite enough is exhibited to strike the be
holder with wonder. The first obj ct that presents it
►til n entering the -cathedral is the altar, near the

ar<l highly poluhrd silver, and covered wuh a profu
si nos ornaments of pure gold. On ooch ride of this;

The other is, the bridge over Vining** Creek, which is

\Va-hinginn, May 21, 1816.
Hih • i have received n> orders vs yet. assigning me
to the immediate command of the mmy about to be,
raised to conq ier a peace wiihin. Mexico ; but 1 have >
been told io hold myself in readme.-i for that service.
From that moment l hive occupied myself, incessant- j
ly, with the vast preliminary arrangement* which can
only be made sdvsniaucouiily at ibis place, through tho
respective th efs f the general staff—the aJjotant yen*
erul. qa u ter master general. commissary general of sub
, sisiencp. and surgeon general. 1 have been much oc
i copied uNo in the distribution of the quotas of volun
teers needed among tbt s-evei ,| states; in apportion*
mg the horse to the foot; hi the study of the route* of
march und water conveyances for the several bodies of
troop* to the best points in the frontiers of Mexico ; in
the study of ihe northern interior, ar.d the southern
routes of tht republic; in looking to the means of
transportation on ‘he Rio Grande, to and b yond that
nvei ; in determining the depots of supplies of all sorts
on this side, &c M dec.
A* these matters are respectively settled, orders and
instructions have been, or v\ill te given, to the chiefs
of the general staff al this place, and the routes of
march and water convoyarices, together with the depots
tor supplies of every description, are finally to be com*
muuicated to the unknown commanders of volunteers
whose services urn to he accepted.
In (he midst of these multitudinous and indispensi
ble occupations I have learned from you that much
impatience i* already felt, perhaps in high quarters,
that I have not ulready put myself in route lor the Rio
Grande, and now with fourteen hours a day of prelim
inary work remaining on my hands for many days, I
find rnyself compelled to flop that recessary work to
guard myself against, perhaps, utter condemnation in
the quarters alluded to. I am too old a soldier, and
have had too much special experience, not to feel the
infinite importance of securing my sc It ag unsl danger
(ill will or precond mnation) in my iear, before advan
cing upon the public enemy.
Not an advantageous -*ep can be taken in a Toward
march without the confidence that all is well behind.
Il insecure in that quarter, no general can put h:s whole
heait and mind into the work to be done in front. I
am therefore not a little alarmed, nay, crippled in rny
energies, by the knowledge of (he impatience in ques
tion and I beg to aav I fear no other danger.
My intentions have been, after making all prelimi
nary arrangement* here, to na-s and own the Ohio and
Mississippi, to see, oi to assure myself by correspond
ence, that tUo volunteer*, on whom we are mostly to
relv in the p osccution of the existing war, are rapidly
a-'cmbling sot the service; to learn the probable time
of their readiness to advance upon Mexico; to ascer
tain if their supplies of every kind are in place, or are
likely to be in place in suffici nt time ; to hasten one and
the other; to h.trrnon z* the movement of volunteers
and to modify their routes (if nce*saiv) so that all, or
at least a sufficient number, shall ariive at the indicat
ed points in the Mexican frontier at the best periods,
and, as far a* practicable, about the same time. All
that I have but sketched I deem to he not only useful to
success, but indispemible. A* a soldier I make t'.e
assertion without fear of contrnd.ction from any honest
and candid soldier. •
Against the actcaptandam condemnation of al! other
persons, whoever may be designated for the high com
mand in question, there can be no reliance (in his ab
sence) other than the active, candid, and steady sup
port of his government. If I cannot have that sure
basis to rest upon, it will be infinitely better for the
country to speak of my personal security) that
some commander of the rew army against Mexico
should be sniveled. No matter who he miv be, he shall
at l***t, be judged and suppoited by me. in this office
and every where else, as I would desire, *f personally in
that command, to b? myself judged anti supported.
My explicit meaning is. that I do not desire to place
myself in the moat perilous of ail positions —a lire up
on my rear from Washington, and the lire in front
from the Mexicans.
It wdi distinctly admitted, anil laid down as a !asi',
in the interviews 1 had the honor to hold with the Prrsi
dent aiul yourself on the subject, that a special army
of sngic thirty thousand troops, regulars, and for twelve
month*’ volunteers, would be necessary for the march
against, anil the conquest of a peace in, Mexico. I ad
here to that opinion. It is foreseen, w ith tolerable cor
taint/, that we shall not have, in in my months, more
than seven thousand (if quite so many) reg-liars ap
plicable to that service. The remaining numbers are
to be made up in volunteer horse and foot. I suppose
of these, taken together, about 17.000 having l*cen ac
tually ralb-d for. There is yet good time 1 think to
make the additions suggested in one of the tables I had
the honor to submit last night.
The question follows : By what time can nn army
of about 30,000, as above, be brought to act from the
different points agreed upon in the interviews alluded
to upon Mexico.
More than half of the 7,000 regulars remain to Ire
recruited. I hope they may be obtained and taken to
the Rio (*ranne, though raw or unin-tructed, by the
first of .September next. Can two-thirds, < r even a
half, of the volunteer horse be got to that river much
before thvt timet I greatly doubt the possibility
without the shadow of a doubt übout the patriolsm or
zeal of the citizens who h ive hern specially called up
on. ‘Toe fool volunteers, aided by water transporta
tion, (be! evrd to be impossible with tho home ) may,
j rnbably, reach all the points for comment ing opeia
lions a week or two earlier. Hut if hoise be a neces
sary element to success, (and two-thirds, if not three
fourths, of the Mexican army are understood to be in
toe saddle ) what utility would them he in foicmg the
fool much ahead of the horse? This ought to be a
nutter of arrangement, left to the commander of the
special army, as information may open upon him in
his progress to the Mexican frontier, near the heaJa of
columns, or within easy corresponding distance with
most of them. The psiticuUr question here then re
cuis:—Can the horse regiment from Kerrucky, (the
most distant from Mexico,) or that from Tennessee
(sjy 19 days nearer) reachjtho Rio (aiande (by land
be it remembered) much before the day (Ist Septem
ber) before mentioned 1 1 have learned personally j
lioiii the zealous and intelligent Adjutant (General
(Dudley) of Kentucky, that the most distant hone rrg- •
imerit cannot be assembled (sty) lit Frankfort, oil the
Howling green, cailier than the iHttcr part of June.
Thence it will probably be obliged to rnsich via Mem
phis, Fulton, on the Red River. Ssn Antonio de Hex*
ur, <Vr. a |me of some 1,200 miles. The routes of the
Tan (lessee, Arkansas, arid Mississippi horse will he re
spectively, say 400, COO arid 700 miles shorter, but
• veil the middle or Tennessee horse regiment, cannot, 1
allowing H"l a day for instruction at its rendezvous, or ‘
on tho route, reac’i tho Rio Cirsnde, before (according
to all computations we can make hcic) the middle of
August.
I think, considering that we cannot hope to have
more than 800 r< gular cavalry on the lower Riot; ran- J
de, no comniandei would be willing to enter Mexico
without both tho Kentucky and Tennessee regiments
of horse, and all thvt have been called from points neat- j
er to the field of expected operations, I now *t*ie a
fact which acems to be conclusive as to the period l>e§t *
for taking up lines of operations fiom and beyond the
low r Rio (iramie.
All ths information that can bo obtain*! hero rep
rrven‘o Out the rainy season on, ami suih of tho Rio
(i ramie. begins about Juno, and tsiuiinateo about tbr
Ist September; that during that act son, the hoof of
the horse an I the mule becornea softened (though atiod)
and diocaatd so a* to disable the animal for travel snd
work. Ag nn : it i at thu end of the risny seesoo,
awd for so n* weeks lae', the’ in the northern provinc
es of Mexico, uirn and horses would have the best
chance to obtain dinting water; the horses the best
grazing, an I tbs ct.ai.m-ssncs the beat beef arid mut
ton for men.
But another reason has been mentioned wby I should
bavo tho preiiintrisiy work tods done here, slid aban
don tbr Ittidtf-months voluoteeri to find their way ns 1
tb*y may to ibe Mexican iiotiLui vii ihe riumb-f .
of patriotic Louisianians who have pourcd.and s<e pour-1
ing in, upon Brevet Brigadier Gan. I’aylor, at Faint j
Isabel or opposite Mataiooros.
These meritorious volunteer* can, under tho citcum
stances, have legally engaged for itnee mouth* only.
They could have had no knowledge ol ihe volunteer
act of M iy LI, 1836, without wtnc.i no enrolment lor
more than three months would be binding upon them.
After th l term, without a f tinnl re enrolment, unuei
the recent act, tor tile longer period, not uu officer or
a man could be legally held toocrvicc or tried lor any
ulierice whatever. They evidently hastened to U.u
scene ol danger to succor our little army lucre ; to save
it from What they no doubt deemed probable surreud* r
oi destruction. Many ol the Louisiaians may be ready
to become twelve month* volunteers, und to he organ
ized leg *ll vui such. As three-months men they cou.d
i hardly, even in the moseiice ol ho-tite to cos, march to
I \L>nlerey, before becoming entitled to (no doubt) an
1 honorable discharge, it may certainly be well—it num
bers of mem do not volunteer uuJer die recent net—
J to send the quotas ol tout, ctlled tor from ifiu l >\vcr
i M isstf-sippi, to eid General lay lor in defending his po
sitions, und perhips Inking new ones on the other utils
us the Ku Grande: But lor tlu conquest ol u peace. l
by regular, incessant, and forward movements, the ba
.-is of our calculations heio (as to number*) must be
altogether extraviganl, ii a much larger army, includ
ing that in position, und very differently composed,
(m horse and foot.) bo not necessary. It was to
command Mich a larger army that I understood my sell
as likely to he sent to the Mexican froiitieis, us it is al
ways unjust to a junior general wh lns done well,
and is suppoed to be doing well, to supersede him by
a general of high lank, wutiout hen ling with the latter
corresponding reinforcements. I should esteem my fell
the unltß| py instrument ol wounding the honorable
pride of the gallant an 1 judicious Taylor, il ordered to
supersede him under dill rent cirouili*’.sures.
However the lon g >ing suggestions (hastily thrown
together) may be viewed, I have denned it due more
to ihe country than my humble s .f, that I should pie
| sent them, and await the wishes or the ordeis ut the
President.
With great respect, I have the honor to remain, sir,
vour most obedient servant,
WINFIELD SCOTT.
Hon. W. L. M Alter, Secretary ol War.
War Dfc.rAHT.HKNT, May, 25 1810.
Sir; I have received your letter of ihe 21st instant,
and consideiing its extra<>rJm*ty character, and the
grave matters set forth therein, reflecting upon the mo
tives and objects us the Fiesident t j tendering to you,
as lie has, in an explicit manner, the counnmd of the
forces destined fur the war against Mexico, I deemed it
to be my duty to lay it before bun, ami to take Ins dis
cretion in regard to its contents.
The pas-ages in your letter which have excited h h
surprise and deep regret, are those in which y ou impute
to the Picsident, in terms not i xpheit, ill will lowaids
yourself, or precotidernnalion, and a course ofconduct
on Ins part which has already, us you allege, impeded
your labors of preparation ami crippled your energies.
A reference to two or three paragraph* in your letter
will sh >w that he is pot at liberty to give a different
consiiu lion to your language. Vou were, through
me, and air..) at a personal interview with the President,
made acquainted with hi- settled determination to put
you in immediate command of th forces to be employ
ed in carrying on the w,r with Mexico, md you hud,
is you state, been devoting your time and attention to
preliminary and preparstoiy arrangement. •In the
midst of these multitudinous and indipenible occupa
tions, (you ay.) “ I have learned from you that much
impatience is already felt, perhaps in high quarters,
that I have not already put mysyifin route for the Rio
Grande; and now, with fourteen hours a day of pre
liminary woik on my h inds for many day*. I find my
self compelled to stop that necessary work to guard
myself against, perhaps, utter condemnation in the
quarters alluded to. lam too old a soldier, and have
had too much special experience, not to feel tho infin
ite importance of securing myself against danger—(ill
will, or p econdemn ition) in my rear, before advanc
ing upon the public enemy. Not an advantageous step
cm be taken in u forward march, without the confi
dence that all is well behind. If insecure in that quar
ter, no general can put his whole heart and mind into
wo'k to he done in front. I am. therefore, not a lit'le
alarmed—na y> crippled in my energies—by the knowl
edge of the impatience in question and I beg to say 1
fear no other danger.”
! This language scarcely requires a comment. That
jit con eves the strongest suspicion not lossy a direct
imputation es most unworthy motives in the Exccu
! live government —of had faith towards yourself— *-f a
teckhss disregard of Ihe interest of the country—of a
design to carry on a war agains you while you are sent
frth to carry on a war against ihe public enemy, there
can be, I think no question. You most allow me to
i advert to the only fact to which you allude a* the foun
dation for such grave imputations. Yuu have learned,
| you say, from me that much impatience is felt . per
! in high quarters , that you urc not ulready put
in route for the Jitu Grande, 4'C- V\ hat was said oil
hd- point ut our interview, when this subject was al
luded l-*, is not so fully stated s it ought to be, con
sidering the pur poses to which you have converted it.
Vou presented to me Icily and clearly the difficulties
and delays which in your opinion, would attend the
i assembling of the volun'eers tn the Rio Grande, and
in Conclusion, expressed your belief that it could not
be done before the Ist diy ol -September next. I then
alluded to the troop* which were now harming to
Gen. Taylor's standard, under hi* requisition—to the
excited feelings of the country —to the patriotic ardor
:of those troops—to the disappointment which both
they and the country would feel, if an army of eight
or ten th<u-HDd men were on the Rio Grande cornpnr
itively inactive duing their entire tour of service, which
being I rr.ited to three months, would ternvnate before
the period named by you for ihe assemblage of ihe vol
uteers on the Rio Grande. It was with special refei
encs to the emj loyment us the (roups that would be
on that fmntier by tho Ist day of June, that I spoke of
whut would be the sentiment of the country, and of
the spirited and galla t men who had entered ihsserv
ice, and of the expe< tuians of the Executive this
subject, f was well aware that the President was
anxioua that the war should he prosecuted with pro upt
urns and vigor, and that the brave and patriotic men
who had bem called out should have an opportunity
to render then country active and effective sei vice.
i knew, too, that tho President confidently hoped
and ox) ected that a Urge portion of the volunteers, au
thorized by the act of May 13ih, would arrive on ihe
frontier in sufficient force for active operations before
the time which you iodua’ed. With the view of se
eming this important ohj cl, ihe most energetic meas
ures hud been adopted. Kveiy consideration of econ
omy and duty forbade that the troops should, if thus
collected, be permitted to remain inactive, by reason
of the ’ibsHhce of the general officer, who, fully posscn
ed of the view* of th© Executive, was to direct their
movements.
I did not deem it improper, indeed I cmddored it a
matter of duty to communicate to the general, to whom
the President had finely confided the u.siugtn out of
ths war, his views and expectations upon this point.
J hat this communication, nude in the manner hi which
it was. should not h ive been kindiy r ceived, is surpris
ing to me ; but vastly more so is th fact, that it should
he made the basis of the most often*ive imputations a
gainst the executive government, which hud voluntari
ly selected you to conduct out army, and determined
to put at your disposal the amp'csl means it could com
mand to if sure victory, und to bring the war to a suc
cessful and speedy termination.
It was also a m ilter of unfeigned surprise (o me that
yoo should have atlnhuied to the Preaid nt the inten
tion of opening a fire upon your rear, while * fire in
front was opened upon you by the enemy. On wh*t
foundation could suck an assumption tent? llai not
the PiesHent, in a bank and frh ndly spirit,just miniat
ed you with a command on which the gloiy and in cr
est of ihn country depended, to me nothing of the suc
cess us hn own sd.niniitraUnu ? How could you, un
der the circumstances, ttreat your labors rs prrpa-sttoti
and suffer your energies to bo crippled, f.r ttie purpose
of indulging in illiberal imputations ag*iut the man
who had best wed upon you thu highest ni.uk of his
cmifirUnre ?
Entertaining, as it is most evident you do, the opin
ion that such Hie ths motives und designs nf ihe Hie
cutjve towards you. and ib elating it to bo your explicit
meaning that ** you do not desire to plica yourself in
the most perilous of all positions—a firt upon your
rear from Wut/iin#fon,and the fire infront from the
MeX'Cana, ” and an entertaining them entirely without !
cause, or even ths shadow of justification, the Preei- i
dent would be wanting in his duty to hie country, if he |
wtre to prrsud iu his determination of imposing upon
j you the command us the army in the wai again*! Mex
