SCOTT. [From the New Orleans Picayune, 14th inst. ] ‘We have at last direct accounts from the American prisoners at Mexico which enable us to clear up the con- tradictory rumors we have had in relation to them. Let- ters were received here yesterday from Maj. Guines by his brother, A. L. Gaines, dated in the city of Mexico, the 26th of June, with the use of which we have been favored. It appears from them that the Kk and file of pager oa have been released and sent to Tampi- were doubtless the individuals at Hue) as mentioned in our last. The officers had not been re- leased on the 26th of June. We give the greater part of Maj Gaines’s letters, which, throw great light on Gen. Scott's movements as wellas upon the fate of the American prisoners. City or Mexico, June 26, 1847. Dear Sir—I am very s01 that I have it not in m power to advise you of our release from bondage. This execrable Government, in violation of repeated promises and a solemn engagement entered into with Gen, Tay- lor the day after the battle of Buena Vista, still detains Us a8 ners of war. ‘On the 3d inst.. I received a note from the government to pr myself at Castle of Santiago, our late prison, and there receive the final determination of the authorities in our case. At the castle we were inform: that we were exchanged, and that we should depart t! next day for Tampico—the officers only, without the men —and were directed to go to the palace, our in- structions, expense money, ke. &e., prey to our departure. At the ere told to call the next day, and on the next day we were informed that they were without means to send us and that we could not go. Thus were our hopes blasted, after having made all necessary preparation on our part for the trip. This disappeintment was the more galling because the reason assigned was known to be mere subterfuge, and it turned out that four days afterwards our men, one hun- dred and seventy in number, were sent off to the same lace without our knowledge, which required a much larger sum than it would have required to send the offi- cers. Indeed, it would have taken a very small addition- al sum to have sent us with them, and that we would cheerfully have paid ourselves. By sending off the men without our knowledge, they were subjected to great suffering and inconvenience on a long road to Tampico, without the preparation necessary in the way of cloth- ing, shoes, &e., which were then, in fact, being furnished them. ‘The true reason why the officers were not allow- ed to accompany them remains ‘o be seen. Since that time, (the 4th,) I have heard nothing from this infernal government, ifgovernment it may be called, but to-day I have received an assurance from Gen. Scott. that immediately upon his arrival in the vicinity of the city, which will surely be within twelvo days, he will make a peremy “ig Nodepm for us. It will be complied Pala ast . You may, therefore, look for me early in August. Gen, Scott, we are assured has made every possible ef- fort to procure our enlargement, but to no BEreoss. His approach to this city will certainly take place in a ver: few days. His measures preparatory to moving are all bores and preparations nearly complete. He comes w force aufllotent tonccomplish his object effectually. 'e received no letters the States except one from A. K. since my captivity, so that the world us to me may be said to be hermetically sealed up. [Here fol- low passages of a nature altogether private and domes- tic, and the letter concludes as follows } Thave now the most positive information of General Scott’s readiness to move on this capital within the next three or four days, He will have an eaay conquest. My intercourse with Gen. Worth is frequent. By his generous conduct towards me, he has endeared himself to me for lite, Your affectionate brother, JNO, P. GAINES. ‘We rogard these remarks of Major Grines upon the movements of Gen, Scott as of the utmost interest. He is a cool and cautious gentleman, guarded in what he says or writes, and must have strong grounds, for the judgment he expresses as to the Mexican means of de- fence. We confess that our opinion as to the degree of resistance Gen. Scott will encounter from the Mexicans has been modified by this letter; but that Gen. Scott would promptly and thoroughly flog the Mexicans when he met them, we have never doubted. This letter con- firms the expectation of our Vera Crus correspondent, and of the editors in the city of Mexico, that General Scott would advance from Puebla about the last of June. ‘We look eagerly for further arrivals fro Vera Cruz, ARI [Nrom the N, O.

From the testimony, it appeured that sometime last spring aman named Woods was arrested on @ charge of having obtained a watch by false proten- ces, and brought betore Justice Drinker; after the ar- rest Woods was searched and the property found on him, amongst which was the note in suit, handed over to Justice Drinker, who caused it to be delivered to Mr. Snow, one of the Police clerks; subsequently to the dis- charge of Woods, demand was made on both deferlants for the note, but they declined to give it up. The judge nonsuited the plaintiff, on the ground that there was no conversion by either the Justice or Snow, the first hay- ing only done his duty in causing the priggner to be searched and the property taken from him, and the other was not bound to give it up without an order from the justice or the Court of General Sessions, which order did not appear to be obtained.

Some say that a great deal of cordiality has been mani- fested by Rosas, and a willingness tocome to amicable terms. Others say nothing will be done. Therefore this letter will le you as wise as ever, which | am for. since ic seem to be anxious to know if there is a likelihood of Brazil enteriug into the contest. There have been so many errors committed by all parties, especially by the greut intervening powers, that my candid opinion {s, that they have bungled into it, bungled through it, and are Ilkely to bungle out of it. ‘They have made too much of Rosas, who laughs in his sleeve at all their inconsistencies, 1 will give you an anecdote respecting this noted character. extracted from my daily journal, which explains itself, and is quite characteristic of the man. A young lady of this town went to Buenos Ayres on a visit to her aunt. This aunt ismarried to the noted Portuguese consul, Leite, now resident in thatcapital. On the arrival of Miss she was introduced to Dna. Manuelita (Rosas’s daughter.) with whem her aunt was on familiar terms. After a fortnight’s absence Miss thought of returning to Montevideo, and a few days previous to her departure abe was invited to passa day at Rosas’s quinta, called Palenno. Accordingly arrangements were made by Manuelita, for the party to go on horseback, and the officers of the Danish frigate, anchored off the harbor, were invited to If the dreams of rr the music, combined with the ices and the delicate re- | b@ ofthe company. The party started in the morning and, as they approached the quinta, the first pr: ) | saw was the identical monarch of the Plata, Jacket, and a large straw hat on his head, plece in his hand. Aw they got near Rosa: is gun in the air, expecting to enjoy th: of ladies; or the probability of unseating which innocent tricks highly please him. no mischief occurred. <Rosas, approaching the cavalcade, bes: the ladies, and continued to do so, familia: reached the house. Many jokes dt parties, and Rosas seemed to be in high spirits, a: awhile he said to the ladies: “Do you know what you appear to me to look like?” ‘The ladies, all in'one breath, desired to know what he ment. “ Stop a little,” said he,‘ and you shall see.” He then brought a cage, in which was a pea-hen, and having lot it free on the ground, he gave a whistle, when several beautiful pea- cocks made their appearance.

All this was attentively observed by the ladies and Danish oflicerr, when Rosas said: “ You see, 1 ladies and gentlemen, the glittering display this poor bird is surrounded; now you shall sve some- the uldeok.”? Shortly after tho servant presented him with a pea- cock deprived of its gaudy tail, all besmeared with mud, aud having let him love among bis showy rivals, bo made #furiour attack upon the group, pecking al one and spurring at another in so masterly a manner us to drive the proud cocks out of the room. ha remain- ing master of tho field, Romas exciting and excouragiug the bird all the time—no doubt trained to it—saying “Well done, old gaucho, at them again!—seo how the dirty gaucho carries every thing before him?” usimg ail the slang gaucho words, adapten to his habits and couniry, to the astonithment of the company, lewn so to the officers, who penetrated into his ‘Turning toward the astonished asseinbly, Rosas re- marked—"You sew the old gaucho {s not frightened at appearances, and cares little for the brilliaut dresses and plumes of his rivals. He is a true Republican '? ‘The morai of this tale epeaks for iteelf, a a y diplomacy toward him, the pea-hen representing his couuiry, and himself the old cock. The officers, on re- turning to the capital, related the whole of this circum: stance (probably to the delight of Rosas hitaself.) to all their acquaintance, aud corroborated the same ou their arrival in this city, br iuging with them the above men- tioned young lady, who has repeated this anecdote, with all the pithy and sarcastic expressions used on the ocea. rion by Horas, which it is impossible to convey in any other language but in the gaucho Spanish. A man of this description, who trifles with all the world, is not a very likely person to be drawn into a ind how this peace ean be made is to me incom- bie, for we may deduce the consequence that if Rosas signs it, i¢ must be a bad one for this country.— Since writing the above, Commodore Sir Thomas Her- bert has arrived from Buenos Ayres, with despatches from the intermediators, one for this government, invit- ing it to a cessation of hostilities, in the manner it may consider it prudent to adopt. This dispatch is directed to the President of the Oriental Republic, resident in Montevideo. The other to General Oribe, commander- in-chief of the Argentine forces. This has already a good beginning, aud how the haughty legal President will receive it is yet to be seen, When the application was mace to Rosas for his con- sent to the cessation of hostilities, he made use of the old songs that he had nothing to do with it; that the forces he had given to Oribe were only auxiliary troops to assist that general to redeem the legal right he iv en- titled to, ke., ke. However, reports from Buenos Ayres say that peace is actually made; but,as | have said above, I shall not believe it until [ see it. In the mean- time great preparations are making by the Brazilian forces on the frontiers of the Rio Grande; and from late accounts feom that quarter, appearances are very hostile. Brazil has had it in her power to save this country three yerrs ago with honor and dignity to herself. Rosas has played with her as with a child, or gone round her, as a cooper goes round a cask. Whatever peace may be made by the intervening pow. ers must bring civil war into the country again. It is impossible to amalgamate the parties; the country ix ruined, and all the native inhabitants are reduced to poverty. A reaction must take place to revenge the wrongs they have sustained by a five years’ unprecedent- ed species of warfare. ‘The country is depopulated ; and the revenue of the country sold for many years to come; it has not the means or the elements to form itself into a nation, much leas into a republic. ‘The only way of saving it from the it saving it altogether, is for Brazil to take it under her own protection, This | have suggested in a commani- cation addressed by me to Messrs, Guseley and Deffau- dis, a couple of months back, which communication was . | well received. and transmitted to the British Govern- ment with all possible despatch . to suggest the tame in your quarter with that Gover: ment, you may rest assured of the co-operation and una- nimous consent of every Oriental, and equally so of {ery foreigner. You must bear in mind that the exi ing Orientals are but nominal,compared with the foreign- ers. ‘These last want nothing but peace, and the former have had a severe lesson of what war is. In the meanwhile Rosas, with all his obdurate urro- gance and presumption, is surrounded by « storm ready to burst upon him. ’ Bolivia, Paraguay, Corrientaa, probably Entrerios and Brazil, are frowning upon him, and only waiting for the final decision of this interven: tion, to act in accordance; and if Rosas is able to out: stand them all, then indeed shall my praises be devoted to him, aud I will laugh heartily at those who oppose im, | have just been informed that this Government o} os the suspension of hostilities, and only admits af an ice.
