Foreign Circulation and Foreign Advertisements, THE HERALD FOR EUROPE, dee de. The object of Mr. Bennett’s visit to Europe having been attained, we are at liberty to detail the arrangements which he has concluded, for connecting the minds of the people of this. coun- try and the. old world, and drawing them closer together than they have ever been, by means of the newspaper press. We have to state, thathis arrangements, having for their aim the improvement of the HzraLp Estabiisument, have been directed to the employment ef correspondents and agents in every city of importance on the continent, with a head, or chief agency, in the city ot Paris, for the continent of Europe, and in London for Great Britain. The minor agencies will embrace Vienna, Munich, Trieste, Berne, Madrid, Rome, Antwerp, Bremen, Brussels, Berlin, Naples, Constantinople, St. Petersburgh, and the North of Europe generally; Dublin, London, Liverpool. Alexandria, Bombay, and the East, as far China, connecting with the great Overland Mail from the East. These agencies have all been established without reference to:their cost, and the proprietor relies upon the discrimination and patronage of the people of this country and Europe for a return of the additional expense to which they will subject him. Newspapers have become a powerful element in the civilization of the world. With their aid, and that of ocean steam navigation, the world is destined at no distant day to be completely frater- nised ; each nation becoming part of a grand and united whole, and each people becoming parts of one great family. The experience of the last ten years shows what has been done through the mighty and united influences of these two agen- cies,and affords us a prospect of the ultimate good which they are destined to accomplish before the next halfof the present century is,over. But to ac- complish such grand results, these two great forces must go hand in hand. Neither must be permitted to lag behind the other. Improve- ments in ocean steamships must be accompanied by similar improvements in journalism; and it behooves the United States, in fulfilment of their great destiny, to originate and practically carry out the improvements in both. This hag been done in one respect, and it is nearly done in the other. The steamship Washington has gone on her first mission, bearing, in the beauty of her model and the'superiority of her machinery, the greatest improvements of the age; and the recent arrangements of Mr. Bennett in Europe, which willbe carried out immediately, constitute the improvements in journaliem. Steam and journalism, therefore, have a fair start on their new career of civilizing the world; and we pledge ourselves that every successive improvement that may be made in ocean steam navigation, will be followed by a corresponding improvement in American journalism—as tar as the Herald can do it; indeed, we may beat steam, for we have a superior power to aid our efforts. We are now on a par with the Washington ; the electric telegraph may soon place us far beyond that chef d’euvre of ocean steamers. Our arrangements being thus nearly co plete, we now promulgate our programme or news- paperial bulletin. TERMS OF ADVERTISING AND SUBSCRIPTION.

Seaceed that every prosecution against military rsons should be discontinued, and all accused of oi- fences be at once set at large. The services of such men are thought to be of sufficient importance to the govern- ment to justify this clemency. It looks to us like an at- tempt of Santa Anna to strengthen himself with the soldiery. sence Pacheco was named Minister of Justice on the ul In El Republicano of the 28th ult. there is an article upon the defence of the cepital, and the propriety of re- moving the seat of government into the interior. The editor urges upon the authorities to defend the capital to extremities, and says that the work of erecting forti- fications is going on actively. But this part of the arti- cle is not in his usual bold strain. From the tone of it, and from private letters from the capital which we ha seen, we feel persuaded that little opposition to General Scott's entrance into the city will be made. El Repub- licano urges strenuously that the seat of government should at once be transferred, Then, should the capital fall, it urges,the government will still exist, and form a centre of unionanda rallying point. The editor urges the point with such force that we are persuaded h ticipated no formidable opposition to Gen. Scott vance. In an earlier article upon the subject of the defence ofthe capital, El Republicano sets down the troops available for the purpose as follows: The garrison then in the capital (the 26th of May) was not far from 10,000 men, while there were to a ive) says the editor, from , from the South of Mex!- in 2000 and from Queretaro 1000. made to an article in El Ra zonador, that tho latter paper ridioules,the idea of mal ing any defence of the city. We see nothing in the papers about tho formidable [orks sald to be going on at Rio Frio. Wo are inclined tothe opinion that the resistance anticipated at this point has been much exaggerated. The Mexican pupers which we have seen say nothing about it, and speak on ly of the fortifications in the immediate’ vicinity of th capital. ‘To the same effect is the letter from Nir. Ken- dall, which we give to-day. It is mentioned in the pa- pers of the capital that an advance party of Gen Worth jad roconnoitered tho road as far as Rio Frio ‘The resignations of Gens. Bravo and Rinoon wore in- duced by an order of the Government, bestowing their commands upon Gen. Lombardini during their indiapo- sition, The latter general is not celebrated for genius, Gen. Bravo's letter to the Government breathes a fine spirit. ‘The only title he retains is that which the poo- ple formerly thought himdwserving, “Benemeterito de la atria,” Five hundred infantry, perfectly armed and equipped, arrived in the city of Mexico on the 24th ult., from Que- retaro, They belongedto the National Guards of that State, and were sent to aid in the defence of the capital. Gomez Farias, lutely the Vice President, was at Gua- dalajara, the ‘capital of Jalisco. ‘This is the State which protested against the abolishment of the Vice Presiden- cy as unconstitutional. It has since refysed to vote for a President under the law of Congress, and {ven later and unequivocal signs of making a revolution. ‘The causes of the arrest of Almonte are ‘not given. El Republicano says that various vague charges are made against him, but it does not name them, Subse- quent to his asrest, 0 correspondence between him and the government was published. On the 2ist May, Al- costa, the Minister of War, announces to Almonte that ho has been appointed commandant general of the State of Vera Cruz, and directs him to start for Cordova within twenty-four hours, This note was not delivered till the 22d, Almonte replies to it by putting various questions to the govern. ment asto the nature and extent of his wers, the forces to be put at his command, ke. &c. He also de. inwnds that he nay be accompanied by several oflicers whose names he gives, The government in reply refers him to Gen, Bravo, This note Almonte answers on the 23d and makes some new demands, If any reply was made to him we have not seen it, but the next we hear of him is that on the 24th he is placed under arrest, and remained a prisoner on the 29th. We find in the papers an address of the valiant Am- pudia to the nation, vindiosting his conduct at Monte- rey, Au this worthy is quite well understood and appre- ciated in the United States, we shall not dwell upon his defence. We are at loss to understand these various move- ments among the military chieftains of Mexico. We havo the resignations of Sante Anna, Bravo and Rincon, and the arrest of Almonte, all within the apace of eight or ton days, and the departure of other generals to re- mote points, and Santa Anna during the timo was exer- cising full sway, and extending every indulgence to the soldiery, It looks as though parties were marshalling thelr forces for w struggle for power among themselves rather than to their country against a foreign foe. We find in the papers a copy of the new constitution, or rather the amendments to the constitution of 1824, which have been adopted. Tho addresses, too, of Gen Herrera, Gen. Santa Anna and the President of the Su- preme Court, upon the former promulgation of the new lnw, are given at length. We have looked into that of Gen, Herrera with much curiosity, to see what he has to say of the war. He touches upon it only in general terms, He says that ® people truly free was never yot conquered by a foreign invasion, and conjures Mcxicins to lay aside their animosities, and unite in support of the laws and constitution. ‘his done, he promises that their defence of the independence of their country cannot fail. Santa Auna’s address is in his usual vein ; we got no new ideas of his designs from it. [From the New Orleans Delta, June 15.) A new paper, called La Guerra, [The War) has been started in opposition to Et Razonador, and it advocates Santa Anna’s principles strongly. El Republicano, of the 26th, contains a long article against £1 Razonador, whose editors seem to disapprove of the defence of the capital. In the said article, Et Re- publicano states that there are ten thousand troops to garrison the city, and besides they were daily waiting the arrival of some nine thousand more, viz: $000 from Guanajuato, 3000 from the Southern States, 2000 from Michoacan, ‘and 1000 from Queretaro, togetner with respectable force of heavy artillery. A letter from Zacatecas, published in El Republicano, the capital of that State is more ‘or of the Yankees than of the Mexicans, as the editors will not publish any thing in favor of Mexico, bus will publish every one of Gen, Scott's orders which appear favorable to the Mexican people. Gomez Farias was at Guadalajara at last acoounts,and had asked for part of the pay due him as Vice President, ashe. was iv great need. £1 Monitor Republicano thinks that Farias’s intentions are not of a very pacific character. Ei Monitor complains strongly of the appointment of 4 lawyer, Don Ig. Sierra y Rosso, as a general command- ing the first line of those which’ will be established for the defence of the capital, El Monitor says that Senor Sierra y Rosso may be a very good lawyer and poet, but that these qualifications cannot make him a good gene- ral, and much less one to take command of the princi- pal post in such @ defence as is to be made against the invaders, (Lawyers do not seem to be in as high esteem in Mexico, in the military line, a# they are here. The lawyer-hating editor of El Monitor will perhaps turn up his eyes with wonder, when he is told that two-thirds of the American officers who commanded at Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo were lawyers. by rofession, and that Gen, Scott, our commander-in-chief, of whom they have such a great horror, only gave up the green bag whon the emergencies of the country called for the services of all its sous in the tented field. “ This allusion will justify a tribute to the legal profession—a tribute which cannot more eloquently be expressed than by giving the names ot Shields, Hardin, Yell, Clay, Watson, Davis, Willis, and a host of others, who havo distinguished themselves in this way, all of whom were regulur practising law- ore id The same paper hasa bitter complaint against the appointment of one Don Simeon Ramires, to supersede Gol. Carrasco, who retired after taking an active part in the battles at Mier and Salado, (during the Texan war.) and at Palo Alto, Resace de in Palma, Monterey, Angos- tura, and Cerro Gordo, but who is not remarkable for bri , according to the Monitor. About 4,000 men, volunteers or national Guards, quar- tered at the brrracks of Sau Domingo. belonging to Gen, Uraga’s command, were ordered to return to their occupations, until they would be instructed otherwise, 4s the government had not the means to support them.

Ever since the commencement of our just contest with the United States fortune has treated us with disdain, and has rendered unavailing the efforts of honor and triotism, made for the most noble and holy cause which has ever been defended on earth. The defeat at Cerro Gordo has only been a link in the chain of our misfor- tunes, to try, perhaps, whether we are capable of over- coming our constancy the iron destiny which pursues ‘us without pity. Hardly had the valor of the roldiers of the republic succeeded in humbling the pride of the Americans in the field of Angostura. currying off the trophies of vic- tory, when the imperious necessity to put an end to the discord which was destroying the beautiful city brought me hither, in conformity with the invitation of a re- spectable majority of the national Congress, Havine accomplished this object, I proceeded to the next most important, that of preventing, if possible, the advance of the enemy, who, being already in possession of Vera Cruz and Ulta, was in search of a better climate, to eecape the rigor of the season. In three days I went frem Mexico toa position recommended of old by all those experien ed in the art of war, and fortified it as well asthe want of time and scarcity of means permit- ted, uniting in {t two brigades of the army of the north, some other troops, without discipline, and some bodies of recruits. The enemy fought with the greater and the most select portion of his army, and although he gained the battle, it cost him much blood, and he received another proof that the Mexicans do not refuse to fight, although the circumstances are unfavorable to them.— As far as regards myself, { am satisfied that I spared no exertion nor fatigue to snatch a favor from fate, and that I exposed my existence as long as | entertained any hope of regaining the day. cscaped, aa by miracle, out of the hands of the enemy, 1 proceeded to Orisaba with the intention of uniting the dispersed, to gather new troops, and to prepare further resistance to our daring invaders, my firmest resolution having slways been never to despair of the fate of the country, nor to abandon it under its greatest reverses.— ‘Twenty days sufficed to form an army, with which I pro- cveded to the city of Puebla, desirous’ of increasing my material, in order torender more important services. ‘The enemy in the meantime undertook his march to the same city, satisfled that no defence had been ergan- ized, nor had the public spirit been suitably excited. It is most painful and afflicting to the nation.that a city #0 distinguished by its warlike spirit during the civil wars, should have been made to appear indifferent in the most dangerous crisis which the republic has passed since the conquest of her sacred independence, ithout entering into an analysis as to the causes which brought about such a lamentable occurrence, I will merely observe that its first consequepce waa my retreat to San Martin ‘T'exmelucan, in order to discuss and determine what would be most conducive to the interest of the service. A council ef war having been called by me, it determined that the Army of the East should continue its march to tho capital, in order to de- fend and save it at all hazards. It is undoubted that the splendor and honor of the nation would be tarnished forever if the enemy should find open the gates of the most important ofty, in which reside the supreme autho- Tities of the nation—a city which abounds most in re- sources, and offers the greatest facilities for the creation, organization and concentration of forces, a city which by its relations for ages with the rest of the republic, exercises such an influence over its destiny that the loss of one would expose the loss of the other; and although we must expect much from tho constancy of the Mexi- cans—of that constancy superior to al the rigors of fortune—It {s not prudent to expose it to the risk of such probabilities. How can we forget that after the fall of this city camo the ruin of the Empire of the As- tec? And when Mexico surrendered, in 1821, did the power.of Spain maintain itself one day longer on our privileged soil? ‘These recollections had # powerful weight on my mind, and I have arrived to attempt to frustrate the most vehement desire of the enemy, that of rendering himself master of the city, which is one of the first of the American continent. My return te the excercise of the Supreme Executive for the few days which will elapse until the new election, was due to chance, and also to necessity, on account of the reluctance to continue in command of the modest nd pure patriot who so worthily governed during my absence with the army. Forced in spite of my veho- ment resistance to take charge of the direction of affairs, I submitted immediately to the deliberation of all the officers present in the capital the question of its defence, and it was unanimously determined upon—consulting not only the rules of war, but also the utility of remov- ing the people to a greater distance from the risk of suf- fering from the projectilemof the enemy, But if the fate of war should bring them to this beautiful city, its in- habitants will bear in mind that itis of great value, though not grester than the whole nation, and that an unfading glory will be reserved to it, if all resolve to imi- tate the example of great nations—to lose every thing except honor. At the same time that I recommended immediate sacrifices to the generous capital of the Republic, the States of the Federation are bound to asslat it promptl: with troops, money, and all the other resourees in whic! they abousd. The federal system, which was called for with enthusiasm by the nation, and for the re-estab- “lishment of which I have Inbored with purity and loyal- ty, multiplies the centres of action, and, far from contri- buting to the debility and decay of the whole, it bestows power and energy when all the efforts centre in one point. ‘This practice of isolation, or more properly called unaccountable egotism, fosters the hopes of the enemies of tederation, and gives to the enemy all the advantages of disunion. How could he dare to advance into the heart of the Republic, if he were not encouraged by the sad perspective of our dissensiena? How great will be the responsibility of the authorities of the States if they assist without arousing themselves, at the funeral of the Republic? Energy and sacrifices for » few months are sufliclent to shake ‘off the yoke of the invader. He is powerless in himself; his situation is extremely hazar- dous ; let us take courage for one day, and we shall be free for ever! The co-operation of all classes of society and of every single individual, is also necessary. ‘The clergy cannot conscientiously submit to the domination ofa people who admit as a dogma of their government the toleration of all religions. “Are they already determined to suffer that in front of the very temple in which the Holy Host is adored, Protestunt cuurghes should be erected? “The crifice of part of its wealth would provent their losin, the remainder, together with the privileges sanctione by our laws, and which the United States do not re- spect. Do the landed proprietors know how hard and ex- acting are the decrees of the conquerors? If the high social advantager, if the blessings of independence are so little appreciated, and if to be ranked among the i dependent and sovereign nations, has no lon lus to Mexico, why did we contend during 6 seeutive years, spilling torrents of blood, and desolating our own country, in order to make itfree? The moment has finally arrived to explain all, in order to save all. Woe to him who does not comprehend the gravity of our position! It is now we are reaping the bitter fruits of our inex- perience during the years in which we have governed ourselves, A nation, arrogant and coveting our ele- ments of power and wealth, has been watching, like a tiger lying in wait for its prey, the moment when the civil discord should have debilitated and prostrated the nation, to surprise and subdue us, And when the ene- my is carrying into execution his nefarious intentions, we do not ‘even correct ourselves. Disunion progresses dition increases—the politioal passions are agitated in the worst sense—and as if it were nothing that the foreign enemy should be combating us, we endeavor to deprive the authorities of power, and with a fatal blindness and perverseness prevent them from under- taking the defence of our country. Of these truths | am at once the witness and the vic- tim. Since my return from exile, 1 have only thought of the salvation of the repubilc. Did | got hasten to create and organize @ powerful army ?

As regards the interest and defence of the nation I shall be inflexible. | intend that the war must be con- tinued until our position improves, The conqueror op- presses the vanquished, and accords him nothing but an inglorious peace, Will the nation permit that an im- mense portion of its territory shall be torn from it?

FROM GEN. SCOTT’S DIVISION. {From the New Orleans Delt Jaara, Mexico, May 23, 1847. ‘The army moved out three’ miles last evening, aud this morning Gen. Twiggs moved with his column for Perote and Puebla. Gen. Scott did not leave town until this morning—also the Commissary and Quartermas- ter’s Departments. Since my last, we have received positive intelligence that Santa Anna has left San Martin. The spies dogged his steps almost to the city’ of Mexico, whither he has gone. The Mexicans at Puebla state that the Mexican General has gene tothe city with the view of raising men and supplies for the purpose of driving our troops out of Puebla, before Gen. Scott and Gen. Twiggs will arrive with the additional troops. This the Mexicans will find much easier talked of than done. The news from Puebla states that there is no doubt of the election of Herrera for President, and that there was & very strong expression of public opinion against Santa that ® pronunciamento had been, or was about to be Issued, declaring against him. Another revolution in public affairs was “daily looked for—guns had been fired, which was considered the signal of an event about to transpire, ‘The stage was robbed, on the 20th, between Perote and Puebla—no Americans in it. An abundance of supplies haye been found at Puebla, and the inhabitants are disposed to supply our troops with whatever necessaries they have, but have been revented by the, guerillas from bringing them in. A @ mounted force is highly necessary at this time, to cep these fellowsin check, and prevent them from in- terfering with the inhabitants, who are anxious to sell us their products There is # prevailing opinion that we will hi other battle before Tenening the capital. In case we should meet the onemy after leaving Puebla, it will no doubt be @ bloody and sanguinary one. Tie Me: icans will not meet us without an overwhelming force, while ours will not excved 5000 troops, if indeed it reaches that many —the calculations of the Adjutant General to the con- trary notwithstanding—tho books here will not show more. But, three-fourths of tho battle is fought before it is begun; our troops do not believe they can be whip- ped by any number; they go into battle asa regular every day affair, confident of success, without excite- ment or doubt of the result. They go into action with energy'and pride,every man believing thatthe honor and glory of the country rests on his own particular should§ ers; while, with the Mexicans, it is just the reverse; they are enthusiastic and vociferous until they become press- ed by our brave troops, when they cease all their clamor cay turn their backs, as if any further resistance were useless. Mr. Trist continues on with the army. I do not believe he has yet entered upon the discharge of the diplomatic functions with which he is charged by the government. Whether Gen. Scott is to oi the sword, and Mr. Trist the olive branch—or whether Gen. Scott isto carry both is a subject for further consideration, and a fruitful theme for newspaper editors. “Sands form the moun- tain, minutes make the year.” ‘The court martial which has been sitting for several days trying the case of Capt. Ker, of the Dragoons, has houorably acquitted him of ail the charges and specifica- tions brought against him, and he has returned to duty. Gen. P. F. Smith has so far recovered, as to be able to march with the column last evening. In the course of @ fow minutes, necessity compels me, with regret, to bid adieu to the quiet and peaceable cit; of Jalapa and its vicinity—to its green and verdant flel —its grand scenery—its blooming flowers and delicious fruits—its transparent, invigorating air and refreshi) T7 showers—its good living, and handsome women. To- night I expect, with good luck, to be in Perote, from whence you will hear from me. MAZATLAN AND SAN LUIS. {From the New Orleans Delta, June 15.) We had the pleasure of an interview yesterday with an intelligent German gentleman, who has just arrived in our city, from San Luis Potosi and Mazatian. He re- ports that when he left Mazatlan, which was on the 9th May last, rt was under strict bleckade by the American stjuadron, as well as all the other ports on the Pacific. It wan believed by the inhabitants of Mazatlan, that port would be taken possession of by the Ame- rioan squadron, as soon as intelligence could be received of the capture of the city of Mexico, a consummation most devoutly to be wished for by the people of this flourishing town. Our informant left San Luis Potosi on the 25th May. All was quietude and indifference there. The intlam- matory address of the clergy produced no effect upon the Potosians, who have long writhed under the inflic- tions ofa large army quartered upon them, and support- ed by extortions and _impositions upon the poor people. No preparations had been made to defend the town against Gen. Taylor's army. Indeed most of the people warmly prayed for the oveupation of the city by the American army, from which they could hope for kinder treatment than from their own army. There were about 7,000 troops at San Luis, the debris of Santa An- na’s once proud army, and those have been ordered to the capital, leaving only 4 few of the National Guard to defend the scant fortifications of the city. The fences were miserably constructed, and totolly ini quate to protect the city. It was rumored iu San Luis that General Taylor would uot murch on that place, but would advance on the capital, by way of Zacatecas, the inhabitants of which are suid to be highly favorable to the Americans, General Urrea was stationed at Tula, with « large guerilla foroe, levying contributions alike on friends and enemies. i : 3 ARRIVAL FROM COL. DONIPHAN’S REGIMENT. (From the St. Louis Republican, June 16 } Yesterday morning, our citizens were taken by sur- | wan by the arrival of Lieut. Col D. D. Mitchell, of the Second Regiment of Missouri Volunteers, from Chihua- hua, Col. M. was with Col, Doniphan’s comman.4, and, in advance, has made the most extraordinary march known in the annals of modern warfare. It will be gratifying to his friends to know that he returns in ex- cellent health, more robust, and, with the exception of ®tanned and sun-burnt face, looking better than we have seen him for years We gather, in a few minutes hasty conversation, that, on the Sth of April, Col. Doniphan, with a portion of his command, left Chihuahua for Parras, leaving Col. Jack- son in command of Chihuahua. The object of this expedition was to capture, or disperse, a kind of govern- ment vhich had been organized there, and from which exeitit g proclamations were issued. Upon their ap- proset , the provincial government abandoned the pla and nc thing was effected by the expedition. The mone then returned to Chibuahua. It was then determined tojoin Gen. Wool’s command, the term of service of the volunteers having nearly pired, and there being no prospect of any relief from the United States, ( he 7th of April, Lieut. Colonel Mitebell, in command of one battalion, and some other troops, left Chihuahua, taking the direction of Saltillo— Col, Doniphan, with one regi remaining. Colonel Mitchell moved forward to Santa Rosalio, about one hundred and twety miles, where he halted for Colonel in time, effected a tr arrangement with the authorities of Chihuahua, by which they stipulated, in substance, that, upon the Uni- ted Staten’ traders paying the customary duties upon their goods to the authorities ot the city they should be protected in their lives and property, and permitted to trade in auy part of the State. ta the formation of this treaty, Col, D. gave them distinctly to understand, that if the terms were not strictly complied with, their city should be desiroyed,and all the property of the State hold responsible, by u force from Gen, Wool's army. It was believed that the terms agreed upon would be com- plied with, and so ronfident were the traders, that so1 of those who had left with Col M., returned to Chihua- hua when they heard of the arrangement. Col. Doniphan overtook the advance party at Santa Rosalio, three days after the arrival of Vol. M. Upon his arrival, Col. M. was ordered forward, with an advance guard, consisting of ene hundred of the best mounted men in the command, to Saltillo. In this command, were Capt, Ried.and Lieuts, Walker and Hinton, With this force, Col. M. proceeded on the direct road to Parras. ‘When encamped about fifteen miles from the town of Mapeme, he was waited upon by « delegation from the authorities, who informed him that they had « force of four hundred men, prepared to rerist his passage through the town, but that if he would go round, they ‘would fur- nish him aguide, and not molest him. The Colonel replied, that he did not need a guide to follow the main road, and that he could not depart from the beaten track. When he entered the town, the next morning, the troops fled. He found « number of muskets and lances in the place, but not having the means to take them with him, ho put the Alcalde and other authorities under pledge not to use them againat the United States, His troops were here regaled with # public dinner, and treated in a very hoepit able manner. Further on, whilst passing through « portion of the States f Durango, he learned from his guide, that there was a fort, about fifteen miles from th oot route. He dotermined to attack it, and by « nig! ved e mare! there the next morning, about daylight. The fort, called Peliin, is situated on the summit of mountain, in an open plain. He immediately summoned it to sur- render, when, after a brief consultation, it was given. up. There were only « few men in charge of it, but from tts eS and command of the plains, the garrison ve successfully resinted the assault of a Colonel M. reached LD. rice Twe Cents, tillo on the 17th of May, and left there the 28d; from whence he proceeded to. the preereysoe New Orleans. His command remained at Saltillo, end it ‘was ox; that Colonel Doniphan, with his would join them on the 29th or 30th. At that ee were made to furnish the troops wit months’ pay, the first they have received since t} tered the service; , and due allowanoe fur delays, he con- fidently expects to arrive here between the first and fourth of July next. We learn from Colonel M., that General Taylor, in consideration of the | ear and noble bearing of the Missouri , had an order permitting them to bring home the camnon snd other trophies tukem by them in the battles of Bracitoand Sacramento. Col. M. a 8 aa 98 Monterey, and bad en inter- view with Gen. Taylor. He learned from Gen.

Col. Marshall's Suggestion of retaliatory measures is just and proper, though wo doubt ifsuch’will be enforced. waines pois rnid ment gives instructions to that effect:— New Onceans, June 7, 1847. To the Editors o| the Picayune—I have been request- ed to state|what | knowitouchtng the exchange ct prleone ers between the Mexican chief and the American Gene- ral after the battle of {Buena Vista, inasmuch as it is reer fome that no provision was made for the Tolease of Majors Gaines, aud Borland, a: floers and men under their command. Peagrcn I know that when Major Bliss returned from the Mexi can camp on the night of the 24th February, he was ac- companied by Capt. Faulaco, to whom | was introduced in our camp on the morning of the 2th. (It may have been the 26th.) His business was to enter into the pre- liminaries for the exchange. I was called upon to tar. nish the list of the officers and men of my regiment who were prisoners, and I did so, I conversed with Captain Faulaco as to the situation of the prisoners. He told me that Major Gaines’s party was in Mexico, but it was probable Capt. Heady’s party was then in San Luis. He ‘accepted the list, copied, | think, by Col. Churchill. A list of Mexicans was made out, who’ were then given up as equivalents for the Americans to be released, and Capt, Anns, as- Faulaco as secretary and agent for Gen. Santa sured Col.

Marshall and Pig) that 80 soon as the express could reach Mexico, all the Persons whose names were borne on the list furnished, should be immediately released and would be shij from the most convenient Mexican port without delay for the United States. Under the force of this an adjutant general of the Mexican army, several com- missioned officers, and a large number of Mexican sol- diers returned to the Mexican camp, and were, as men released and exchanged for, received by the Mexican general. Capt. Faulaco was the secretary of Gen. Santa Anna, and came to our camp with such vouchers as ema- bled our general to regard his authority as perfect, and it would seem by the reception of the person: to his army who, under the negotiation with been released by Gen. Tayler, that Gen. ta Anns fully ratified Faulaco’s acts, and assumed to carry out im good faith the pledges that officer had given. After Capt. F.’s return, he sent back # corporal (Resor) be- longing to my regiment, then # prisoner in the Mexican camp, with « very polite note, requesting molto have bis name added to the list of American prisoners whose ox- change had been negotiated for. Of the wanton and shameful violation of the pledge thus given by the Mexican leader, perpetrated by continued incarceration of my men among the felons ot the city of Mexico, and all by order of the authorities ot Mexico, civilized society will form the proper judgment, In the mean time the fortunes of the day at Cerro Gor- do places in our power a number of offlours belonging to the Mexican service, through whom it is hoped that Mex. ico will be taught to feel the estimate our generals can hereafter place upon the plighted fuith of her leader and President.

Gamonina 1x Frour.—Few persons not dealers in the article, are probably aware of the extent to which gambling in flour is carried on by @ealers in New York, For instance, we frequently see reports in the New York papers, similar to the foliowing:—* Sales of 5000 barrels flour to arrive in July, wt $7 60; sales of 10,000 barrels to arrive in August, at $7 26... We do not pretend tosay that none of these transaction are genuine, but we are confident that not one-twentieth part of this flour changes hands. When the time comes for delivery, the difference between the price d uponand the current rate, is paid either by the buyer or seller, as the case may be. It is in fact, nothing more nor less than a bet on the state of the market at a given ‘4 time, In some cases beta of this kind are pro! adopted to bolster up the market. For instance, we find in the Shipping Dist, the following transaction in flour, which took place shortly after the arrival of the last steamer:—A sale of * 1000 barrels Western, (deliver- able) within 48 hours of the arrival of the next steamer at $450.’ On the day this transaction took place, good Weatern flour could have been bought at $5, and the market waa tending downward, Breadstuffs would seem to be the last article in whicha man would wish to gam- ble.—Boston Journhl, June 2 Bovine Souprers’ Serip.—it is but justice to Corcoran and Kiggs, to contradict the above a sertion, We feel ourselves authorised to state that Mensrs, Corcoran and Riggs not hased to the extent of $1,000. ar the few certifi- id have gi cates of stock tl they have purchased from the sol- diet This . bd second a ‘that we hi oF this charge made in the papers. ‘was asserted day that they had purchased, Orleans, from distressed a it of $100,000.
