B#w Oe»* Taylor came (o crow the
Nneccs.
Notwithstanding the peninaeity with
which theSupporters of the Polk Admin-
iStratton have defended the order given
to Gen. Taylor to march to the Rio
Grande, on the false and flimsy pretext,
as admitted by themselves m various
official acts, that that river, from its
source to its mouth, constituted the true
boundary between Texas and Mexico—
an assumption, which, if it hail been
well founded, would not only have jus-
tified the order in question, but render-
cd if
less
blunder, by endeavoring to divide the
rcsjionsibility of that act between tlie
Administration and Gen.Taylor—which
they would .never have done had the act
itself been a defensible one. For this
purpose they seized, in the first place,
upon an expression in one of Gen. Tay
lor’s letters to the War Department, to
the effect that the army ought promptly
to take its position iti some elighlo point
on the Rio Grande, t/tbc President had
determined to insist, as a sine rju.i non,
upon that river as iho boundary. But
this perversion of a suggestion founded
upon a contingency over which the Pre
sident alone had control, inton positive
recommendation, is manifestly so pre
posterous and absurd that it lias been
abandoned, except by a few of the more
unscrupulous pnny hacks, who, like ihe
witness that had testified that a certain
horse in dispute was fourteen feet, in
stead of fourteen hands high, refused,
os be had once sworn to it, to retract
his declaration. More recently, how
ever, a convenient witness against Gen.
Taylor upon this point was found in one
Dr. Kimmcll, of Hinds county, Missis
sippi, who transmitted to one of the re
presentatives of that Slate in Congress
a fubulous narrative of a conversation
between Gen. Taylor and himself, in
which the General was umde to assume
the entire responsibility of bringing on
the war with Mexico, by the movement
of his army from the Nueces to the Rio
Grande, and entirely to exculpate Mr.
Polk from all censure in respect to it!
Even if the fact were so, we arc nt a
IrifUfrb conceive why the friends of the
Administration should in one breath
contend that nil the territory between
the Nueces and the Rio Grande belong
ed to Texas, and therefore that the Pre
sident was bound to .take possession of
it, while they assert in the next that ho
would not have discharged this high
nnd solemn obligation had he not been
fed , as"! have slated, from the **public
doeumt-uts” already published, contain
ing the correspondence of Gen.’ Taylor
with the war department,previous to the
battles of Sib ami 9ih of May. Ollier
facts stated can lie proved if denied.—
The most superficial observer must per
ceive that Gen Taylor has never been
inconsistent, and that charges made
against him whether, frivolous or of
weight when examined into, only cause
his prudence and strict “obeying of or
ders” lobe more and inure admired. The
statement made

the order to Gen. Taylor to ndvnncc

Horrible Atrocities Committed by the
Savages in Yucatan.—During the siege
of Valladolid, the savage Indians pro
posed that commissioners should be
sent out to them to treat for peace.—

ecclesiastic of unblemished conduct
and well known piety, Dr. ManuclSierra
de O’Rielly, a brother of Don Justo
Sierra the present Commissioner of Yu-
liter the moderate members of it,
and that the interlocutors, were the so
cialists, and Gen. Dubourg who was#
on horseback, to lead tbe conspirators
to the Hotel dc Ville, or Hall of the Ex
ecutive. The whole of the plan was
not discovered to the listeners till a very
late hour, when, at half past 11 on Sun
day morning the Marquis de B -
went in haste to the Hotel of Foreign
Atliiirs for the purpose of finding Mons.
de Lamartine. Unfortunately lie was
absent. Mons. Chnmpeaux, Lamartine’s
second self, was next inquired for. He,
too, was away. That Marquis then en
tered the porter’s lodge to write a-note
of warning, for the affair admitted of no
delay. The porter, alarmed to the last
degree, demanded, “ Will they cut all ,
our throats, do you think Sir?”’• Next*-
my friend repaired to Champcaux’»~
house, where most happily he foujicL hin&
with his carriage at the door. “ Enters’*
said Champeaux, “the coach with me,
and on our way to the Hotel de Ville
you can tell me all j’ou have to say.’*'
On hearing the Marquis’s recital, which
he did not’ doubt, the two gentlemen
having been comrades of the same stand*-
ing for twenty years, Lamartine’s bo
som friend became excessively alarmed
for his chief s safety. The chief, and
the few trustworthy men about him, on
__ that Gen. Dubourg was to lead
the three hundred thousand workmen,
which they now learned for the first
time, lost their heads as the French say,
and became utterly distracted. By
great good luck, Gen. Changarnier vttts
present, though holding no civil office.
“How,” he exclaimed, “are you at a
loss what to do when the national guards
are ready to oppose force to force in your
service ? Beat the rcvcil, I will put my-
selfat their head, and for the suppres
sion of the expected tumult I will be
answerable with my life.”
