Head-Quarters Army of Mexican Republic, ?
Mexico, Sept. G, 1847. )
To his Fredhney dev. Win Arid Scott, Commands
in-Chi sos the Army of tke United State*:
Sir-lU- th • note of your Excellency under thi?-
cJ if •. 1 learn with surprise, that you consider that
th ivil and inilitarv niithnrities of Mexico have
vi -feted articles 7, 12. and 3 of the armistice whic h
I r ■ .elude 1 with your Excellency on the24th day
of list mouth. .•
Tli - civil .a 1 military authorities of Mexico have
not obstructed the oass.ige of provisions for the
American army ; and if at times their transmission
has been retarded, it has been owing to the impru
dence of the American agents, who, without having
a previous understanding with the proner authori
ties. gave occasion for popular outbreaks, which if
has cost tin- Mexican government much trouble t-.
repress. Last night awl the night before the es
corts for the provision train were ready to start,
and wereonlv detained because Mr. Hargous, tin
agent, desired it- The orders given to susoeud tin
intercourse between the t wo armies were addressed
to private individuals, and not to the agents of tin
arm ,r of the United State's, and were intended pu*-
pose b’ to expedite tin* transmission oi’provisions t
the army, and to confine Ihe iniercourse to th..
object exclusively. In return for this conduct
your Excellency has prevented the owners or man
agers of the grain mills in the vicinity of the city
Iran famishing any flour to the city, which is u true
breach of the good faith your Excellency had
pledged me.
It is false that any new work or fortification has
been undertaken, because one or two repairs have
only served to place them in the san • condition
they were in on the day that the armistice was en
tered inf.-, accident or the convenience of the mo
ment having caused the destruction of the then ex
fa’’ works. Vou have had early notice of the es
tald. liiiient of the battery covered w ith the mud
walls < I the house of Garev, in this city, and did
m -n must rate, because the peace of two great
K bes could not be made to depend upon things
g : >* a lu-mselves, hut of little value compared
&• the result in whi h all the friends of humanity
and of file prosperity of the American continent
tako so great an interest.
It is not without great grief and even indigna
tion that 1 have received communications from the
cifi< > and villages occupied by the army of your
Excellency, in relation to the violation of the tern
pis i ousecruted to the worship of God; to the
phi.tdcrof the sacred vases, and to the profanation
of the iuit.g. s venerated by tin- Mexican people.
Pn>t\>uuUy have 1 been affected by the complaints
of fathers uml hiishauds, of the violence offered t >
their daughters and wives; and these same cities
villa yes have been sucked not only iu violation
oi the armistice, but of the sacred principles pro
churned and respei ted by ci* ilized nations. 1 have
observed siiei.ee to tlie pieseut moment, in oruer
uottoobs rod the pi ogress of negotiations which
h Id out the hope oi ‘ei in Mating a scandalous war,
and one which your Ex. lh-ncy has characterised
so justly as uuuatural. but i shall iiesist ottering
apologies because I eunuot be blind to the truth
tli ii the cause of th** threat* of reue wing hostilitie*.
continued iu the note of your Excellency, is that l
huv e not bt*eii w illing to sign u treaty whii li would I
lessen consid* mbly the territory ol the Republic,
and not onl . the territory of ihe Republic, but lliat
dignity and integrity w liu h all nations defend to
tli last extremity. And if thene,considerations
have not the same weight in the mind of your Ex
cellency, the responsibility before the world, who
cun easily distinguish ou w hose side is moderation
and justice, will fall upon you.
1 Hatter myself ih it your Excellency w ill be con
vinced, on calm reflection, of the weight of my
reasons. But, if my misfortune, you should seek
only a pretext to depi lve the first city of the Ainer
!cau continent of an opportunity to free the un
armed popnlut.ou of he horrors of war, there will
h'* left me no other means of salvation, but to repel
force by l.uce, with the decisiou and energy which
m. high obligations impose upou me. 1 have the
honor to lie, your excellency’s humble servant.

The following is un extract of a letter iiom Julupa.in
tin- Area Iris. The Picayune gives it without vouch
j mg lor its correctness;
j “ When Gen. Fare/ abandoned the .Mill del Key, a
I hoiub discharged front Chaputicpec, tell among the ain
i munition wagons of the enemy, in the yard ol the Mill,
j causing icurol them toexphHie,by which 300 Amcri
cans are said to have been blown up, (ouiuron,) includ
ing Gen. Worth, who, according io oi • account, liau
not been seen or heard ol in** iu*xi day at Tucubaya.”
Another letter in the Jim, dated at Mexico on the
lOih says:
“ I he Government has taken $300,000 which were
being sent by a commercial house to the camp of tlie
enemy.
“ Gen Smith lias expired, and by the enclosed slip
you will see that the Americans mutilated uud cruelly |
aanssinated in* unkntunate Iriab who wort taken at
die battle ol Churubusco.”
Another account slates that the deserters belonging to
ill*- Le gion of St Patrick, alluded to above, were- all
hung at San Angell on the 11th.
\S e again copy iroin th** Picayune:
This brings us to tlie 12th, but at what hour of the
day the letter was closed we are not intormed Os th**
eventful denuumeut we have only a brief account, but
sufficient to assure us that our arms have achieved it
brilliant triumph, and that our army is“ revelling iu the
halls of the Alontezimias.” The only reliable account
we have of the last struggle before the capital is in u
letter addressed to Mr Dunond.our Collector at Vera
Cruz, from Orizaba, which will be found below. Our
correspondent at Vera Cruz vouches for its accuracy.
and we have reason to believe it is from the same
source as was the letter giving the first and a correct ac
count ol the buttles of Contreras and Churubusco.
Ori/.ua, Sept, 19 ,1847.
Deal Sir I have the honor to inioim you that an
•-xpress arrived here this evening from Mexico, which
brought the intelligence that Gen. Scott wusm the city
f Mexico ; and that on the 13th the American troops
Mok Chapmt* p**c and the citadel,and went into the city
(hat night. Gen. Bravo was killed, and Gen. Santa
Anna was wounded in the arm and had retired with the
l enminder of his troops, which had suffered much, to
(j uadalupe Y our friend, &c ,
To F. M Dimono, Esq., Collector, Vera Cruz
A letter from a creditable source confirms all that is
ui the above, and only disagrees with it stating that the
city was carried by assualt on the 14th. The Sun of
\nahuac has it that on the 13th the heights and work*
<>f Chapultepec were carried; that on the 14th and
la the city was bombarded, and that a part of our army
mitered it on the morning of the 16th, the balance re
maining at Chapultepec. As we have, alteady stated,
however, we place no reliance on any of these reports
xcept that of the correspondent ol Mr. Diinond.
As to our loss before the army entered the city, we
°ve nothing authentic. We fear that this new victory
i;*9 not been achieved without great loss of life. The
Mexican accounts show that active hostilities comuien
ed on the Bth,and were continued with more or less
• ctivity until our army took possession oi the city. A
<.:ssenger by the James L Day informs us that it was
poited aihong the Mexicans at Vera Ciuz thnt we
.-t i7UO men kitted and wounded, but he could trace
t to no authentic source. Another p iss.- iger estimates
(Jen. Scotfs loss at from one-iourth to one-third of his
army, in killed and wounded, but upou what data he
bases his opinion we cannot learn, and are inclined to
think it is purely conjecture.
Cion’s. Worth, smith and Pillow.
The Picayune of the 26th, notices the fact, that the
Christian name ot Gen. Smith is not given, and express
es the hope that the person reported to be dead, is not
Gen. Persifor F. Smith, who so greatly distinguished
himself at the battle of Contreras. The Editor adds;
“ The report is purely Mexican. We must hope,
therefore j that our brave and meritorious fellow citizen
is saved from so rude a fate as death from a Mexican
bullet. But the brave often fall. Many a gallant spirit
lias already fallen in our war with Mexico, and our lore
bodmgs incline us to look lor sad and mournful intelli
gence when we shall have had full particulars of the last
battles.
“After we had written the above, in our further peru
"<il oi the Mexican journals—from which we are com
pelled to translate the intelligence which we give our
readers—we not.ee statements which lead to the possi
bility, or probability, that amongst those who have fall
-11 Victims to then valor, we have to add th** names of
Gens. Worth and Pillow. God grant may all
prove to be idle rumor Still w- shall look “ with tear
and trembling” lor the list of killed and wounded ui the
t anks of our valium and daring little army.
Parades iu Scott’s Hear.
The New Orleans Picayune ot the 28th ult. has
the following item cfimportAdoe:
In relation to Paredes, the Arco Iris of the 18th inst
after mentioning that the Padre Jnrnuta had left Sol
dad tor Julapa with a force of three hundred men, well
mounted, anu aimed and equipped, with the intention
ot attacking the first tram that went up, says it has re
liable intelligence that the ex-President was in the slate j
of Puebla with a force of six thousand men, prepared
to prevent any reinforcements from reaching Gen. Scott.
It is added that he declared it was In* intention in re
luming to his native country, only to serve her in dif
ficulties and not to foment a revolution for his personal
advancement. Earlier advices state tint he had been
sick at Tepeaca, from winch he had recovered. He had
been appointed Inspector General of the National Guard,
or militia ot Puebla , but the Arco Ins shrewdly observes
that it is not probable he returned to Mexico lo obtain
so entpty an honor as tins. The Government up to the
last advices had made no attempt to arrest him in his
proceedings.
We come uovv to what our readers have looked ]
for with great anxiety—the basis upon which Mr. !
Trist ami die Mexicans proposed to negotiate. It \
will l>e seta that from the commencement there*
was no real intention on the part of the Mexicans
to couclude a peace. Iu fact it is not saying too j
much to assert that their propositions were fitrei- ;
cal in the extreme, and originated in fraud uud de
ception, the only motive which evidently actuated j
them Uriug n desire to obtain time to strengthen ,
themselves for a re newed conflict.
For w ant of time and space, we only give an
outline of tlie proposition* of each party. The *
first proposition we come to is that of Mr. Trist:
Art. 1. There will he a firm and universal peace f
between the U. States of America und the United 1
States of Mexico, without any exception whatso
ever. All hostilities by seu or land shull cense im
mediately and definitively as soon us the rutilicu
tion shall have been exchanged by both parties.
Ai t. *2. All prisoners of war made by both par
ties, both 011 sea and laud, riiali be liberal*** 1 a.-
soon as practicable after the exchange of ratifica
tion* of this treaty. Besides it is agreed that il
uuy Mexican citizens should be prisoners of the
(JttiiMuches, or of any tribes of Indians within the
limits of tln* I’. Slates, the government of the L.
States w ill endeavor to obtain their return to tbeii
homes, according to the treutn-s existing with
those Indians.
Art. 3. As soon us the present treaty shall have I
, been duly ratified by the tinted Stales of Mexico, |
orders will be issued without delay to the com
manders u! both parlies, both ou s-a and land, that j
hostilities ure suspended, uud that mu li suspension I
shall be strictly observed. Immediately after tin
cxchnuge of intificnlions of the present treaty, nil
tin* polls, territory, towns and possession* of every
kind, wlin h may have beeucuptureti by the Uuited
States from the Uuited States 01 Mexico during tlie
war, except those comprised within the limits of
the United Mttilert, a* iietincd by uilule No. 4of
this treaty, wall bo given up without and lay and
without occusioiiing any uuUiugo, or without any
exportation of artillery, or public property aptur# *1
originally iu said ports or tow..* or win 11 may
be then ,11 at tin* ratificati .11 of this tie.ny.
Art. 4. The dividing line hetwc 11 the two r *

leagues of 1m i u niting the Uiouth us ihe Rio
<iramie, them upwards by tin- iniddl* of said riv
er to a point whore it reach*'* tin* meridian line of
New Mexico; thence towaid* tfie wcsltotho lon
gitude of the southern liinis of New Mexico, at the
angle southwest tis the same ; thence towards tin*
north to the longitude of th** northern line of .New
Mexico, until it is iutersechd by the lust arm • f
the Rio Gil , or if it should uni he intersected by
uuy arm of that river, thence to the point of soul
line nearest to said arm; thence iu a direct hue lo
tu* same and descending by the said river Gila, un*
til it* discharge into to*'river Colorado and the
mi Idle of the Gull ot Ushfoinia to the l'ncihc
Ocean.
At. 5. In con* d'ration of tin-extension of terri
tory, us defined by tlie preceding article and by
tin* stipulations which will appear in article No. H.

*um is not *j*ei Hied. J
Amt. 6. In consideratiou of article No. 4 th*
Unitod State agree to guarani# e i.ud pay to the
‘'brilliants all tin- obligation* vvhri h i.i'c now diic
nid which may fill duo according to the conven

iivor of the * bJnuuiU, given under a couveutinn

tba United StHt*** also agree to nssttuie the pay
im n? ut claims nf citizens of the L’nited States not
Previously decided against the Government of the
United States of Mexico, up to a sum which shall
not exceed three millions of dollars, and which
idiull have originated previous to the 13th of May,
1846, and which also shall have been ucknowledg
ed as just debts by a tribunal of commissioners ap
pointed by tin.* Government of the United States,
whose decisions shall be definitive und binding,
provided that on deciding ou said demand*, the
Miiil tribunal shall be governed by tlie principles
> nd rules prescribed by articles Nos. 1 uml Sot the
lonven ion, not ratified but concluded in the city of
Mexico on the 20th of November, 1843; and in no
i. se shall a decision be given in favor of any claim
niileoK it is regulated by tin s-* principles and rules;
and the l uitecl Slates by this, uud forever after ex
onerat*- the United States of Mexico from all re
sponsibility to these cloimants, whether rejected
or admitted by said commissioners.
Arj. 7. Merely states teat iu case ofony difficul
ty io the settlements of the claims, tlie arvhivcsof
the Government arc to beat the servo of tlie com
mission to ascertain the validity of the claims.
Art. 8. The United States shall have iu perpetu

through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, for or from 1
the Pacific, by any means of couvcyunce now iu
CAi.'h-uc e, or to be established her*-altar, by cuimls
or ruilroads.
Alt. 9. All the goods introduced during the oc
cupation of the country by the United States shall
he free from either importation or iuterual duties,
and tree from confiscation.
Ast. 10. The article ot amity, commerce and
navigation, concluded iu the city of Mexico on the
Dili April, 1831, between the two powers, shall be
renewed tor the period of eight years after the
ratification of this treaty ; each party having the
right after the expiration of that period, to termin-1
ate the same by a notice of one year.
Art. 11. This treaty will he approved ami ratifi-1
ed by tin* President of the United States of Ameri-1
ca, with the approbation and consent of the Senate,
and by the consent of the United States of Mexico
w ith the toll approbation of th© General Congress;
and th** ratifications will be exchanged in tlie city
<f Washington within the period of month
Irani the date on which it may be signed or as soon
us possible.
Leaving aside for the present the first instruc
tions from Santa Anna to the Mexican commission
ers, we proceed to give an outline of the ultimatum
ottered by them under his renewed instruction,
w liich differs slightly from the original proposition:
Art. 1. Is merely an expression es a desire that
there may he a firm und lasting peace between th*
two Republics.
Art. 2. Stipulates that all prisoners taken by
land or sea shall be given up after the treaty is
signed, and that any Mexicans who may be prison
< rs of the savage tribes of Indians with ntln* limits
of the United States, shall be given up by the Gov
ernment of the United States ami returned to their
homes.
Art. 3. All the forts, towns or territory and artil
lery taken by the forces of the United States shall
he returned to Mexico.
Art. 4. Tlio dividing line between the two Re
publics shall commence iu the Gulf of Mexico,
leagues from laud, in front, from tlie Southern
mouth of the Bay of Corpus Christi, to run iu a
straight line, through said Bay to the mouth of the
Rio de laa Nueces, to follow theuce the course of
that river to its source; from the source of the
River Nueces a straight line will be traced until it
meets the actual frontier of New Mexico by the
east, north and west of New Mexico, until it meets
latitude 37, which will serve as the boundary ol
the two Republics: from the point at which i;
touches the frontier of New Mexico to the Pacific
The Government of Mexico agrees not to found
any new establishment or colonies in the space of
i ml which lies between the Rio Grande und the
Nueces.
A... In consideration of the extension of the
territorial limits of the United States, the Govern
ment of tin* said States agree to pay to the Gov
ernment of th3 U. States of Mexico, $ ,at tin ‘
city of Mexico, on the day of the exchange of rati

claims of the Government or citizens of the United
States.
Art. 8. Provides for the settlement of claims in
the same manner as is provided iu the proposition
of Mr. Trist.

By tlie foregoing statement, it willl he seen that
the crop is 321,880 bales Wn than last year, and
015,852 less than the year before.
Our estimate of the quantity takcu f*r consump
tion in tlie Cotton growing States; does not include
a .. Cotton manufactured iu the States South und
West of Virginia.
The quantity of new Cotton received at the
Shipping Porta up to the 1 tiust. amounted to
1121 bales, against about 200 bales last year.
\N ** have this year made up our statement of the
crop of the United States, without incitniiug the
quantity received overland at Baltimore uml Phil
adelphia, it being almost universally conceded that
it has already been included in the shipments uj
the Mississippi from New Orleans*—to show a fan
comparison, however, with hist year, we have ap
pended the amounts’ so received at those ports.
The shipments given in the above statement
from Texas, are those by sea only; u considerable
portion of the crop of that State finds its wav to
market via Red River, and is included in the it-
eiptsut New Orleans—upwards of 4000 hales, r.
is supposed, have thus been received during th*
season.
Comparison of Election Return*.
For the convenience of those person* who may I*s re
to compare the returns of the several counties w li die
result of previous Elections, we present them in an .th
column with the otlieial result in 1844, beween Messrs
Clay and Polk and also in 1815, between Messrs
Crawford and M *Allister. The comparisons which
we shall institute will be made with the vote given in th
Election ot 1815 for Governor.
