Fifth Despatches o# Major Downing.
City of Mexico, March 22, 1848 v
Mr. Giles if Seaton, my dear old friends— When I
have to write about the war, and the treaty, and things
ot that sort that belongs to diplomatics, of course I send
m y despatches to the President, or Mr. Ritchie ; but
when things branch ofi into the newspaper line, then
I send 'em to you. We’ve had Gineral Scott on triaj
here five days, for high treason against Gineral Pillow
and Gineral Worth, ll it goes agin him, I don’t know
whether they will conclude to hang him or shet him up
in some of the mines of Mexico lor life. But he fights
like a Turk, and aint skeered at nothin. The Presi
dent better send on some more help, for I aint sure that
what there is here will be able to handle him. The
battle has been pretty hot for five days, and 1 don’t see
as they get the upper hand of him at all yet. It would
be a great pity it a man that has been guilty of such
horrible crimes as he has out here in Mexico, should
slip through their fingers at last, and escape punish
ment. I begin to feel a little afraid how it wiil come
out. For my part, Igo for justice, hit who ’twill. If
a man will commit crimes let him be punished for it.—
I'm afraid the President has missed a figger in leaving
it oat to such men as he has. It would a been safer and
more sure to leave it out to a jury of Mexicans. I’ve
no doubt the least verdict they would give, would a
been two years in the deepest and darkest mine in Mex
ico, for his taking Vera Cruz aud the castle ; two years
more for the cutting and slashing he give ’em at Cerro
Gordo; two years more for Chapultepec and Churu
basro; and all the rest of his life for his taking the city
of Mexico. In that case, you see, his punishment
would a been measured out something according to his
crimes.
I was thinking last night that I ought to make up a
little budget about this trial and send it on to you, as I
promised to let you know once in a while how things
was getting along out here. And while 1 was bother
ing my head to know which end to begin at, a man
came in and brought me a little letter. I took it and
opened it, and 1 couldn't hardly believe my eyes at first,
to see the name of Gineral Pillow signed to it. rfe
“requested me to call at his quarters in the evening,” on
very urgent and important business. Thinks Ito my
self, what in thunder can this mean ? Then 1 thought,
may be they had got a hint that the prisoner intended to
runaway, and they wanted me to help keep guard round
Gineral Scott’s quarters to see that he didn't escape.
So jest at dark I went round to Gineral Pillow’s quar
ters. He seemed to be amazing glad to see me, and
took me by the arm and led me into t’other room.
“Major Downing,” says he, “I’m very happy to see
you. 1 wish you wouldn t make yourself such a stran
ger to ray quarters; it would give me a great deal of
pleasure to see you oftener.”
I thanked him, and told him that his rank was a good
deal superior to mine, and I always felt kind of delicate
about putting myself along side of them that was so
mucti above me.
“Not at all,” says he, “Major, not at all; we have
to observe rank, to be sure, when we are on the field ;
but every where else we are all equals, Major, all equals;
give me your hand.” And here he give my hand ano
ther hearty shake.
“Major,” says he, “I understand you write letters to
the National Intelligencer sometimes, about matters out
here in Mexico.”
“Well, yes,’’ says I, “Gineral, I do sometimes, when
it don't interfere with my public duties as the Presi
dent s private ambassador.”
Then he turned round and put the door to and begun
to speak in a little lower tone.
“Major,” Bays he, “that Intelligencer is a capital pa
per, a great paper; it deserves to lie encouraged. 1
take a warm interest in the prosperity of that paper,
avd mean to do something for it. i’ll be the mukiug
of ** yet, when i get to the rank and situation that I
expect to get. 1 spose you’ll send some account of this
Court Martial down by the courier to-morrow to go to
the Intelligencer, won’t you V*
“Well, yes,” says 1, ”1 was thinking of sending some
little outline of it, so that the folks at home in the Uni
ted State* might understand the substance of it as tar
••it has got along.”
1 hen he took a written paper out of his pocket, and
“I* he, “Major, here is a clear account of the proceed-
m K as for a* they have gone, all carefully drawn up,
Jad pmtii g every thing in a true light. 1 should like
to have you lake this and send it on to the Intelligencer,

GREAT BATTLE IN THE COURT MARTIAL.
‘Phis important investigation which has been going on
lor five days, is likely to use Gen. Scott all up to nothing**
there won’t lie ho much as a grease spot left of him ;
while, at the same time, it cannot fail to add to the re
nown and fair fame of (Jen. Pillow, till it raises him
nbovc all Greek, above all Roman fame. Gen. Worth
also haa shown a magnanimity in this contest which
will crown him wiih immortal honor. He had a49
pounder, loaded to the muzzle, pointed directly at the
head of Scott, which would a blowed his brains clear to
the north pole ; but seeing the weakness and imbecility,
of Scott, who was almost ready to get down upon his
knees, and with tears in his eyes, ask his pardon, Worth
with unparalleled magnanimity, refused to fire, and ab
solutely withdrew the charge from the gun, saying to
the bystanders, “The President has given me all I want,
why should I stoop to kill this poor devil of a Scott V*
After Worth had thus generously thrown a way his pow
der, Scott, with his usual meanness, put on a brnggado
cia show of courage, and dared him to the fight ; hut of
course Worth wouldn't take any notice him.
Scott had bullied Duncan, but when he found Duncan
was prepared to defend himself, with the most craven
spirit, lie coaxed him to let the matter drop, and hu9lt i l
up. He had also, in the most shameful manner, bullied
Gen. Pillow ; but when he found he had roused the li
on, he did not dare to beard the lion. As soon as the
gallant Pillow, the high-soulcd Pillow, the chivalric and
courageous Pillow appeared on the field of combat,
Scott commenced a rapid and ignominious retreat.-
But (Jen. Pillow, actuated by a high sense of public du
ty, as well ns a proper regard for his own honor, would
not allow public sentiment to be so outraged with im
punity ; he therefore pursued the cowardly Scott, de
termined that, poltron as he was, he should either figh t
or die. For two or three days, Scott was fleeing lor his
life, and making the most desperate efforts to escape
from the field of battle ; but the gallant Pillow pursued
him, and cut him off on every tack, and foiled and floor
ed him at every turn. The talent, tact, prowess, and
generalship displayed by Gen. Pillow on this occasion,
has probably never been equalled, except by the same
gallant officer on the battle-fields of Mexico, when he
killed the Mexican officer in single combat, was-struck,
down upon his knees by the concussion of a cannon-ball
upon his head, and led his troop6to victory by wading
chin-deep into a creek of mud and water. The
hot pursuit of Pillow at last drove Scott into a corner
from which it was inipossable for him to escape. He
then turned and raised his puny arm to fight ; but the
weakness of his weapons, his little pointless darts and
pop-gun squibs, were almost too ridiculous even to ex
cite a laugh. The heroic Pillow stood in peerless maj
esty, and shook them oft as unconcernedly as the lion
shakes the dew-drops from his mane. Duiing this
whole contest, Gen. Pillow's well-devised plans of
battle, his judicious disposition of his forces, his cool
ness and daring during the whole of this terrible bat
tle, is the subject of universal congratulation among
his friends, and general remarks with all
LION—ASS.
Erased from the al>ove—“During this great battle,
which has lasted now for five days, Pillow was in com
mand of all the forces engaged except Worth’s Division
which was not engaged. Also erased—“He (Pillow)
has completely silenced his enemies.”
On the whole, the above document, No. 1, seems to
give such a clear, candid view ot the proceeding of the
Court Martial during the first five days, that I don’ l
think it is necessary for me to add another word. Give
my love to the President and Mr. Ritchie ; and I re
main your old friend, whether we go on annexin’ any
more or not. Major Jack Downing.

A letter published in the Columbus Times, dated at
Perote, Mnrch 13th, gives a most melancholy account
of the sufferings ot our volunteers, and their losses by
death. We quote two paaanges from hia letter which
tell i heir own sad story ;
“ Annexed is a liat of our deaths and diactiarged up
to the 11th mat, as prepared for the use of den. Butler.
From this it appears that Capt. Nelaon’s company (A.)
has Inst by death thirty men ; Capt Uaulden’s compa

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
Important European News.
Arrival of the Steamer Acadia at lloston.
FIVE DAYS LATER.
The mail steam packet Acadia, Captain Stone ar
rived nt Boston lam evening at 6 o’clock, and her
news was immediately telegraphed to the New-York
Herald.
The Acadia sailed from Liverpool on the Bth inst.
and her advices ore therefore five days later than those
received by the Sarah Sands.
It should be borne in mind that while reading over
thi news, that some of the events prior to the depar
ture of the Sarah Sands are mixed up in the details re
ceived Inst night by the Acadia. We give our tele
graphic despatch in full.
The general commotion on the continent of Europe,
has gone on increasing. The intelligence respecting
the the insurrection in Lombardy j has been confirm
ed, with the further important feature that the king ol
Sardinia, at the head of an army of 30,000 troops, cros
sed from the Peidmontese territory into Lombardy,
issuing ns he passed the frontiers, a formal declaration
of war against Austria,and marched direct to Milan.
The Austrians, defeated at every point, fled as he ap
proached, and having been successfully driven from
Parma and Porescia, and Dulenzan, endeavored to es
tablish themselves on the Mincio.
It is said that a disposable force will be shortly at the
command of Charles Albert, of not less than 250,000.
With such an army, not only will all Lombardy be lib
erted.but Austria may be threatened, even at the gates
of Vienna.
The Italian Duchies have burst out into open insur
rection. Modena and Parma are revolutionized, and
V enice, which has been dying daily since the fatal 18th
of January, 1708, now just half a century, when the
Austrians took [possession of that city in virtue of the
treaty of Campo Forinulo, again shows signs of life.
The Lyons Gazette of the 4th gives the following, un
der date of Choinbourg, 31st : “Savoy will to-morrow
constitute itself a republic. A provisional government
will be constituted and the republic of Savoy proclaimed.
The country will be immediately convoked todecide
on its political condition. There is in this no hostility
to the King, who has given us very liberal institutions ,
nothing of disaffection to the French Republic, for which
we preserve our sympathies ; nothing, in short, which
prejudges any course.”
This intelligence is, however, doubtful, and is not
confirmed by letters from Lyons of the same date.
The Milanese have sent an address to Pius IX., in
which they ascribe to the Pontiff all the honor of the
emancipation of Italy.
In Sicily, the Sicilian parliament is constituted, and
the separation of the island from Naples is complete
It is generally believed that the King of Naples has al
together abdicated his right over Sicily.
In Austria proper every tiling seemed disorganized ;
and amidst the chaotic confusion which prevailed, it is
quite impossible to fix the hourly changing scene. It is
anticipated that the Austrian General, Radetaky, who
is afraid to enter Mantua, lor want of provisions, will
be compelled to capitulate upon the appearance of the
Sardinian troops.
The Viceroy of the Emperor of Austria, who fled
from Milan, was at Botzen,a town of the German Ty
rol, on the 25th ult., waiting the issue of events.
In Prussia, after the bloody scenes which took place in
Berlin, the king had put himseli at the head of the Ger
man confederation, and promises extensive constitution
al re forms. At the same time, he has pluuged head
long into a dispute with the Danes, respecting the long
contested affair of the Dutchiesof Holstein and Schles
wig which by force, he seems resolved to detach from
Denmark ; on the other hand, he is exasperating the
autocrat of Russia to the highest bounds of passion, by
encouraging the Poles to erect an indepenent govern
ment in the Duchy of Posen.
It is rumored that 50,000 Cossacks, have suddenly ap
peared at Tilsit; and in the state of excitement in which
the Emperor is at the moment, should the King of
Prussia waver the consequence may be serious. The Em
peror himseli is vigorous and decided; he is said to have
ordered every man in Russia and Poland, between the
ages of 18 and 35, to be removed into the interior of
Russia. Russia is concentrating a vast army in South
ern Russia, which we should deem sufficient to crush
any attempt to erect a republic in that division of the
empire. The Emperor has issued a manifesto. *
It is stated in the Breslau Gazette that 150,000 Rus
sians are already concentrated on the Polish frontier,
under the command of Prince Paskiewitch. It is also
reported that 30,000 have suddenly been called to the
same frontier from the Caucasus.
It is reported that the Turkish government, under
the influence of the Russian Ambassador, refuses to
acknowledge the French Republic.
The advices from Athens state that the Greek min
istry had resigned. Condriotti had accepted the task of
forming anew cabinet.
An immense French army of observation is in the
course of being formed on the whole line of the Italian
frontier,from the Mediterranean to Switzerland.
The Constitutionel publisesu letter dated Toulon,
25th ult, which states that a reinforcement of 10,000
men is about to be sent to the army in Algiers.
The streets of Paris have lately been crowded with
deputations of patriotic workmen, going to the Hotel
de Ville with their offerings tor the benefit of the
republic.
It is reported that M. Gamier Pages, is to retire from
the office of Minister of the Finances, and that he is to
be succeeded by Michael Fould, the eminent banker.
This is an appointment which would give great sat
isfaction to the commercial community throughout
France.
An insurrection occurred ip Madrid on the night of
the :16th ult. A plan haj been fonned to overthrow
the ministry by the means of an insurrectionary move
ment, of which it waa expected the military would
have remained passive spectators. The leaders of the
movement having subsequently discovered that the
troojis were determined to resist, countermanded the
orders they had given to the people. The latter how
ever, who had been wrought up to the highest pitch of
excitement, declared that they were betrayed, and that
they woulJ right even without leaders They accord
ingly assembled, about 6 o'clock on the afternoon of
tlie 26th, and commenced erecting barricades, which
were completed ill an incredibly short space of time.
The lighting commenced ut 7 o’clock, and continued
without intermission until 3 o'clock, A M , when the
military were successful at all points, and a number of
insurgents were captured, two hundred persons, civil
ians and military, are said to have been killed, and a
vast number wounded. An English gentleman named
Whitwell utsnul to lie among the victims. The Queen
Mother quit Madrid during the disturbance.
In England and Ireland the greatest excitement
exists. Lord Jolui Bussell repeated in the House ot Com
mons on Monday last, lint previous declaration, that
the whole weight of the government should be ajiplied
to the maintenance ol order, and lo put down disaffec
tion. At the same time his lordship expressed the sin
cere desire ol both ilia colleagues, and.Lord Claren
don especially, to listen to complaints, and to apply a
remedy or an alleviation to any distresses or evils w hich
exist.
The accounts from Ireland are more menacing than :
ever. The students of Trinity College are arming in j
deli-nee of the (invemniem, and the members of the
Koval Dublin Society are loilowing their example.
Additionaltrisips have arrived Ironi England.
Tile repealers m the eity are equally energene, and
are warmly supported throughout the provinces
At a meeting held in Kilkenny, four delegates had
been appointed to the council of 300, admittedly ill de
fiance of the law. The Mayor and three magistrates
are the delegates chosen It was recommended at
this meeting that the council should assemble at Liver- i
pool 111 order to keep witiiili the limits prrsci ibeii by tlie
Convcntion Act.
It waa expected that Dublin would be placed under
the operation of the recent arms set, and that the vast j
qaantityol pikes and arms wlucli ore being so exten
sively purchased, will he required to Is- given up.
The provinces.especially m the south ol Irrlaii •.ap
pear to emulate Dublin in the violence ol the threats and
intimidations used by the re|ienl party and press ; and,
indeed, it is openly declared by many of (he journals,
that a repeal ot the union will no longer aullice lo sat*
isly their slledgi-d grievances, hut that the erection oi
a republic, can now atone remedy the evil under which
the country groans.
It will he seen by the judicious reply ol M. Lamar
tine to the deputation of the Irish to the French Repub
lic, that he is not disposed St present lo run tile risk “*
a rupture with Ureat Britain.
The great demonstration ofthe chartists, which was
to come off in Lind-m on the IWh ins., has be n forbid
den by the English Oovertmient. All the arrangements
tor tlie procession were going on satisfactorily—the car
riage lor conveying the petition and the banners, insig
nia, dtc , derided on, when Sir V firry announced to
Parliament on th- 7:h instant, the determination of gov
eminent not to allow either the assemblage or proces
sion to tane place. A proclamation appeared in a few
hours, forbidding alt persons to attend the meeting
Phe course pursued by the government has not only
increasd the former general excitement, but called forth
the remonstrances of even that section of the press hos
tile to chartism. The effect produced ou the chartists
themaHves, has been anticipated—determination tocar
out their object with more ardor than before. At the
first meeting of'the convention held after the issuing o*
the proclamation, an unanimous resolution was come to
that the meeting and procession should take place, des
pite the threats ol the Government. Every delegate
present firmly and coolly declared his determination to
risk his life in the contemplated demonstration, and a
general belief was expressed that that their constitu”
ents would emulate th* examples thus s*t them, by
holding simultaneous meetings in their several locali
ities. On the same day, resolutions calling those meet
ings, and for the issuing of a counter proclamation, i
were at once agreed to . The members in the proces- 1
siou are not u> carry arms. Mr. O’Connor made a sug- j
gestion to the meeting, which possesses some signifi
cance at the present time. It was that they should re
commend to their constituents the withdrawal of ail mon
eys from the savings banks, in order ns much as pos.-u
----ble to derange the financial operations of govern incut ■
as the gross sum invested in these institutions amounts
to A‘2;),000,0JO, aud belongs almost entirely to the mid
dle und lower classes, ot whom a large proportion
are Chartists. There is little doubt, to use, Mr. O’Con
nor’s own words, that Jf the people would withdraw
| their savings from these banks, they would more es- i
fectuaily attack the government than if they made a i
a direct attack on the Horse Guards.
The Government has seemingly determined on bring
iuy mattersto an issue and large bodies of cuvalrv, in*
antry and artillery have been drain'd in'o the metro
polis, io that it it computed that ihc force in the cily can*
not be loss than 10,000 men.
The European Times says it IV not possible to con
jecture how this matter may terminate; but our earnest
hope is that tile people may itave prudence enough to
keep out ot evil, and the ministry sufficient good
sence to concede to the people all reforms which may
be compatible with llte onward march ol the times, and
with the spirit ol the British Constitution.
The following manifesto of the Emperor of Russia
has been published ot St. Petersburg and received with
the greatest enthusiasm :
“ After the benefits of a long peace, the w est of Eu
rope finds itself, at this moment, suddenly given over
to perturbations which threaten with ruin and overthrow
all legal power, anti the whole social system Insurrection
and anarchy, the offspring of France Soon crossed the Ger
man Irontier, and have spread themselves, in every di
reel ion, witlt an audacity which has gained new force
in proportion to the concessions of the government.
This devastating plague has at last attacked our allies
the Empire ol Austria and the kingdom ofPrussia; and
to-dny in its blind fury, tnenacesour Russia—that Russia
which God has confided to our care, but Heaven for
bid that this should be. Faithful to the example hand
ed down from our ancestors, having first invoked the
aid of the Omnipotent, we are ready to encounter our
enemiesfrom whateverside they may present themselves
and without sparing our own persons. We well know
how indissolubly united we are to our holy country, to
defend the honor of the Russian name,and the inviola
bility of our territory. We are convinced that every
Russian, that every one of our faithful subjects, will
respond with joy to the call of his sovereign. Our an
cient war cry for our faith, our sovereign, and our coun
try will once again lead in Tthe path of victory,
and then with sentiments of humble praise, as now
with fee!mgs of holy hope, we will all cry with one
voice, God is on our side.” Understand this, ye peo
ple, and submit, for God is on our side.
The Revolutions in Europe.
It is evident from the tone of the London papers and
from the military movements of the Government, that
the ministers feared the worst, and were preparing to
meet it. If the spirit of the leaders of tlie Chartist
movement, be the spirit which animates the mass of the
people in England, no man can say what will be the re
salt of the conflict which, at the sailing of the Acadia
seemed to be inevitable.
The New York Evening Post, supposing the Lon
don meeting would be held, ventures this prophecy
“Unless the government has wisely yielded to the cri
sis, we apprehend this month will not reach its limit
before the English throne and the English aristocracy
will be annihilated, and Ireland an independent repub -
lie.”
We copy this to show rather what is thought than
what we think will come to pass. If the English throne
is annihilated,and the laws of primogeniture and of en
tail, which sustain the English aristocracy, areabolish-
Jshed, and Ireland established as an independent repub
ic, we have no hope that such things can be done in
one short month, or without a struggle, which will not
cease for many months, nor until there has been such a
waste of life as the world has scarcely ever seen.
Still we may make with confidence no prediction for
the stability of any throne.
But twenty-four hours before Louis Philippe waa
Hying a refugee from Puna, lie ihoughl and every body
thought, lie waa aa firmlyaeated on the throne of France
aaany monarch in Europe. Before the eventa in l’aria
reached Vienna, Mctternich waa believed to be ao
atrongly secured in his own power, that the poor Em
peror, hia master, was only concerned to know how
to extend it. And yet os the London Tinieesays,” Aus.
tria ia dissolving like a giant of snow. Death strikes
the whole massat once. As in that fearful disease, the
return of which has been recently announced, it ia hard
to say whether the vitals or the extremities are the first
assailed, and in the hour of trial, the head and
heart of the empire are found to be gone at once.”
The result of the combat in the streets ol Berlin, when
it commenced, was not deemed doubtful, hut, contrary
to the hopes of even those who wished for the foil of
arbitrary power, thseitiaena triumphed over the soldiers
Wherever Ihe attempt has been made, the power ofthe
government has been as nothing aguinst that which,
the people con command So far, Russia ami (treat
Briban have not lelt the storm, .which has postra
ted other thrones and overturned other governments.
The work of revolution has accomplished its task al
most every where else. Will they be able to withstand
the shock f A Liverpool paper says,” Louis Philippe
and the Prince ol Prussia are in London,” and then
asks, “ Will the Russian Emperor be the next arrivali”
It may he that London will prove tou hotlfor them, and
even while we write, all the crowned heads in Europe
may be fugitives from tlie land where they so lately held
kingly sway.
VV Inch shall stand, ia a much more difficult question
to answer,than lo declare which will tall ol nll the
thrones of Europe ; but the London Chronicle was cer
tainly right when, in a recent remarkable article, writ
ten alter the events on the continent had opened its eyes
it said,” It cannot be denied lhal things look as though
tlie philosophic vaticinations of M. de Tooqueville were
about to be realised, and the old world l were going to
learn anew political alphabet at the feet of her Trans
atlantic offspring."— Balt. J'atrut.
