(From the New Orleans Delta, Sept. 11.) Though of old date, the following letter of our corres- pondent will be found interesting, describing as it does the condition of affairs in the city of Mexico. shortly be- fore the march of Gen Scott towards thet elty :— July 30,P M. My cousin has just arrived from the city of Mexico, and brings me the following brief note, which I send you. The courier was four days endeavoring to get out of the city, and at lastmade ® narrow escape :— Crry_ or’ Mxxtco, {28th July, 1847 —Friend F—. received the files of ‘the Oclta and Washington U; ouhad the kindness to send me. every attempt, the vigilance dressed as'a woman, almost in rags, driving it, which pack in charcoal, and | only send you # two, plaited inside his whip lash.

Congress does not meet for want ofa quorum. Santa Anna, it is said, has already peace, and is arranged with Mr. Trist in reference to now about to force Gen Valencia to accede tothe terms. The population of Mexico is kept in @ continual state of decrees, kc. ut first shot after acknowledge that they wore the dress of a soldie: With the construction of » brought on by proclamations, ‘The number of troops here is 26,000 men, eneral opinion at present here is, that at the of the Americans they will retire, and never fortifications and breastwork: they are continuing, but it is evident that they are not calculated to bean. atleast such a one asthe American army pediment for the advancing army— their ditches and obstructions on the road, will perhaps trouble you more than any thing else,on account of your large train; the object of the Mexicans in continuing their fortifications, appears to be to keep the citivens in as great a state of alarm as possible, thinking that this is the best means to make them proclaim for peace. the large cannon the Mexicans ha have bu st on being tested. aged affairs so well as to deceive even th All been casting here, ‘The Americans have man: general com- manders of the Mexicans, as to the time of your march to this city—therefore, in order to save time, they cast all their cannon hollow, wh! bursting. was the cause of their Yours, respeotfully, Our courier also brought along with him the Diario up to the 26th, includin, the 24th and 26th—he had the 27th and 28th, in which he had some meat wrapped up— but « hungr, soldier availed himself of the chance of getting alunch, and also took the papers in which it was wrapped—the three papers he succeeded in getting here —he passed them through the sentinels by stuffing one ineach ear of the jackass he was driving, and the other tied round a sore leg 1 cannot send them to you by the present courier, on account of the bulk—it might be the means of his being arrested. Ineach number there ia an article on the subject of peace—although it does not ad- vocate it in a decided tone, yet still it argues strongly in favor of proper consideration of the subject, and lashes the Congress unsparingly fer the course they have taken in endeavoring to avoid assuming the reaponsibility—it also contends that the honor of the Mexican nation, as well as the interests of the people, require that no obsta- cles sl wuld be thrown in the way of an unprejudiced and deliberate consideration of all matters connected with the difficulties now existing between the two countries. When it is considered that this comes from the official organ of the Mexican government, and that its articl are either dictated or controlled by the government, we are induced to think a second time before we conclude that the mission of Mr. Trist will prove entirely fruitless ‘Two or three nights since some Mexicans, who were herding some one hundred and twenty-five mules for one of the departments, drove off the whole lot, and they have not since been heard of. INTELLIG {From the New Orleans Picayune, Sept. 7.) ENCE FROM 'THE DIVISION OF GEN. WOOL. Orders No. 379 Hrapquantens, Buea Vista, July 30, 1847. ‘The commanding general deems it proper to announce to this division that a forward movement may be expect- ed in the course of a very few weeks, in anticipation of which the attention of ali officers is called to the subject. Pleasure must give way to duty. All officers of the staff or line will commence immediate preparations for theonward march. ‘The artillery and 1st dragoons will be placed inthe most perfect state for field service. — The officers of the dragoons will see that their men are well instructed in the use of their proper arm, the sword. ‘The chief of the Quartermaster’s Department will im mediately adopt measures to put in repair all wagons be- longing to his train, and do everything else ne render it efficient. ary to ‘To-morrow being the last day of the month, he will make a thorough inspection of everything belonging to his department, and report the result at headquarters. ‘The ordnance officer will likewise make a thorough in- spection of his department, and report to headquarters the amount ofand condition of all ammunition and arms and ordnance stores on hand. Brig Gen. Cushing will adopt all necessary measures to — his brigade in the highest possible state of d. cipline. All drills, as well as dat, on guard, will be rigid- ly enforced. Any neglect or dereliction of duty will be no- jc ed.and rigidly punished. The disciplined, bordinate, and wellinstructed soldier only can have his confidence ‘Those who possess there indispensable requisites in the highest degree will have the post of honor,and will be en- titled to lead in the onward movement—those least so must goto the rear; and those, whether officers, non- commissioned officers or men, who, from indolence, lack of pride, ambition. and love of country, keep themselves in ignorance of those duties so indispensable to insure victory in the fleld of battle, with this division, for should we encounter the latter the: to desert their colors and fly the field ot 1 not be allowed tomarch least in the direction of the enemy. would be certain mattle, Such officers and men are more to be dreaded than the enemy, for by their example others would be induced to follow who might otherwise cover themselves with glory. Of- eers too indolent, or who from other causes do not quali- fy themselves for the dischat of the responsible duties required on the field of battle, ought to resign and go home—if non-commissioned officers or privates, the should be either severely punished or discharged wit disgrace; in either case, should they remain in the line and the enemy make his appearanee, they would not fail ‘vo bring disgrace upon themselves, their regiment, and their country This order will be read at the head of every company. By order of General Wo JAME OL: MeDOWELL, A. A. G. Camp Burwa Vista, Aug. 12, 1847, Last Sunday was a great church day, the anniversary of the th Transfiguration of Christ, and the solemn mass of Catholic Church usual on the occasion,was perform- ed at Saltillo. ‘The services took place in the * Chapel of our Lord,” which is in the Cathedral. and communi- cates with the Great Chapel. It is fitted up with a bet- ter regard for taste than almost any that! have seen, and its appearance on Sunday morning was very fine It is quite spacious, and the roof is supported by eight pillars and arched, The back of the chapel, or altar piece, is richly wrought and heavily gilded, and ornamented with & number of cary It occupi tles, figures representing saints and apos- the whole end of the chapel, and was lighted to the very ceiling with candles; in the centre, over the altar in an alcove, is @ figure of our Saviour, the size of life, upon a richly inlaid cross, and there are several other figures of the crucifixion. and one large wax figure of Christin the tomb, in different parts of the ebureh, The altar was exquisitely decorated with arti- ficial flowers, and brilliantly lighted. and the only thing about it in ad taste was a number ot cheap looking- glasses, with very ordinary frames, worthy of the tar- room of a country tavern in New England In different parts of the church the ‘national colors were displayed, and wherever a candle could be put there was one burn: ing. Tome the most attractive part of the ceremony was the splendid martial music, the effect of which was extremely fine. ‘There were a number of wind instru- ments and @ bass and kettle drum, which, combined with the or; very ¢! part ofa church ceremony, but tl i rendered the martial airs which they played lar to hear marches as a y played thein that fective. It was rather sin, and not only martial airs, but at one time asthe priest was about concluding one pertion of the ceremony and going out to deck himself in other robes, the band struok up the “ church was filled with men. women and chil too. The achuen,”’ and executed it Brilliantly ren, coming and going all the time, and it was «little odd to stran- gers to seo their movements. Many of the females, as soon as they had entered and covered themselves with holy water, would plump down upon their knees, and af- ter telling some prayer would work their way up as near to the altar as possi ly, perfect time with the music, 1 on their knees, keeping, apparent- ally there is a great procession, {am told, in which never #0 many virgins, in spotless’ white garments, emblematic of purity, take part. Alas, poor Mexico! the garment is the only evi- | dence ot the purity of her daughters in ninety cases out of a hundred, so terrible is the moral eondition of the country. This is no idle assertion, but susceptible of the clearest roof, Perhaps it isa happy thing that the mass of the Mexican people pay such blind adoration to the priests, and believe so implicitly in their power of forgiveness for all offences.

It is supposed that they made their way towards Monclova, to go to the States, as it is not supposed they would go over to the Mexicans at the present crisis. G Cane Buena Vista, August 16th, 1847, If;we are not moving on this line, we are continually moved by the multiplicity of reports that are received almost daily. We have received nothing from Gen. Scott or the city of Mexico since the int ence I have mentioned in a letter of # previous date, but various rumors from the enemy’s outposts have found their way into camp. In the first place, there was a report received in per ap pragma from the direction of San Luis, that 2000 of the enemy's troops were at Mazapil. and more at Zacatecas, hia is very doubtful, although the various reports from different sources would seem to leave little doubt that a force has left Durango ; it is also said that Gen. Urrea has returned to Matehuala, but whether with a force or not, is not stated. 1 mentioned in my letter of the 9th inst. that Capt. Carleton, with a company of dragoons, left that morning for Parras. Gen. Wool received a letter this morning from the captain, dated “ Parras, August 13th,” which contains some interesting intelligence. It was currently reported at that place, that a force consisting of 400 airy and 600 infantry, with four pieces of artillery, der the command of Gen. Vincentia Filosola, had moved from Durango—some accounts said to Mazapil, others to join Gen. Reyes at or near Zacatecas A sp: nt out by Capt.

A smali party arrived on the 12th from Chihuahua, among whom was an intelligent American, from whom Capt. C. glean- ed the following information : that Gen. Trias had pessed up from the south with ten pieces of artillery, 2000 stand Osama arms and 1000 horses, under the protection of a small escort, en route for Chihuahua. He has received the appointment of Governor and Commander General of all the forces to be raised there. That most valiant and worthy dignitary, Gen. Armijo, has also gone to New Mexico, and is now at El Paso del Norte, Gen. Trias passed Los Gallos on the 3d or 4th inst., which place is on the Chihuahua road, between Cerro Gordo and Cuencame.

An occurrence took place last evening which I had not urposed relating, fearing that something more distress- ing might grow out of it, but as everything seems quiet now, | will briefly relate the circumstance. Col. Paine, of the North Carolina regiment, from the rigid’ system of discipline which he has pursued, bas become very un- popular in his own regiment and in the Mississippi and irginia regiments, with which he has been thrown in cor nection as officer of the day. Many insults have been offered him by members of the two latter, and this feeling has gradually been ripening till it came to a head lust night. A crowd assembled about different tents of about thirty men, some his own and some privates of the Virginia regiment; and subsequently stones were thrown at his tent. A number of men also assembled in front of his lieutenant colonel’s tent, who was sick and vomit- ing, and indulged in brutal laughter at his illness. These crowds were dispersed, and two men ordered te be taken to the provost guard. ‘The men of one company ordered to perform the duty refused, but were compelled to obe- dience by the colonel.

Came Buena Vista, August 7, 1847,—So many persons have claimed the credit of saving the day at Buena Vista, and some in a most oxtracedini manner, and so many claimants have appeared for praise for the honor of selecting the ground upon which’ the glorious battle of Buena Vista was fought, that it may not be improper, even at this late period, to “render unto Cwsar the things that are Cwsar’s.”” As Gen, Wool, in my opinion, is entitled to the credit of having selected the spot. the following letter, which incontestibly establishes t fact, may not prove uninteresting. It id from the pen Capt. Carleton, of the U. 8. dragoons, a very gallant officer. Buxna Viera, Mextco, July 27, 1847. Genenat—By reference to my journal of the marches, &e., of Gen. Wool’s column, | fad that on the 2ist of Ducember, 1846, you arrived in the valley of Encantada with your whole force, consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry, with their complete trains, and encamped at Agua Nueva, situated at its southern termination. ‘That point is twenty miles in advance of Saltillo, which city was then occupied by Gen. Worth, to whose sistance you had marched from Parras, « distance of ot hundred and fifteen miles, in less than four days. At that time the command of Gen. Worth was only # brigade, and he bad sent by express a request to you at Parras tojoin him with your column as soon as possible, to assist in repelling an attack then daily expected from the enemy, in force under Gen. Santa Anna, About the same time Gen. Butler arrived at Saltillo from Monterey. On the evening of the 22d of December you left your camp at Agua Nueva to visit both himself and Gen. Worth, it being reported that they were con- fined to their beds in consequence of the wounds they had previously received. You were accompanied by Captains Lee, Hughes and Chapman, U.8, A, by yout aid, Lieut. McDowell, and by myself, then on’ duty as one of our aids-de-cainp. It was quite damk when you left Agua Nueva, and when you arrived at that part of tho pads of Buena Viste known as La Angosturs, a heay fog, accompanied by rain, had set in, rendering it so muc! more so that it was with the utmost difficulty the road could be kept. Indeed the officers who were with you were frequently obliged to dismount and seek for it on either hand. it was past 11 o'clock at night when you and your party reached Saltillo. The next day, when your interview with Gens, Butler and Worth was con- eluded,you started on your return to your camp at Agua Nueva, accompanied only by myself, all the other officers whe had gone to Saltillo with you being still detained there by official business. When you had proceeded as far as Angostura, one mile in advance of the hacienda of San Juande In Buena Vista, you halted, and after having glanced over the ground on each side you said to me:— Mr. Carleton, this is the very spot of all others I have yet seen in Mexico which I should select for battle, were [ obliged with asmall army to fight a large one.” You then pointed out to me what you conceived were the great military advantages it possersed; and said that the net-work of deeply worn channels on the right would completely protect that flank; that the heights on your left would command the road, while the ravines in front of them, and which extend back to the mountain on that side, would cripple the movements of the enemy should he attempt to turn that flank. You continued conversing with me on this subject until, as you may re- collect, we met Lieut. MeCown, 4th Artillery, a mile er more further on, So forcibly was I impressed with your choice, and all you had said in favor of it, that im- mediately after my arrival at Agua Nueva! described the place to some of the officers of your staff—I think to Ins. Gen, Churchill, and his assistant, Capt, Drum, U. S.A, ut the time saying that you had’ selected it for a battle-ground, and repeating‘all you had stated in re- lation to it. It may not be improper likewire to add, that on the 26th of December Gen. Butler visited you at Agua Nueva, and that on the 27th, before he returned to Sal- tillo, he gave you un order to move with your troops and select in the neighborhood of La Encantada, or further down the stream towarda Saltillo, # auitable place, and there encamp. As this order was entirely discretionary as to the precise locality for your purposed camp, you chose the plain between La Angostura and the hacienda befere alluded to as the best, because it was not only less exposed to the bleak winds wich continually swept through the pass at La Encantada, and which at that t@anon of the year would cause the troops much suffer- in tents and fuel very scarce, but offered the additional advantage of an abundant supply of pure water, and besides was just in the rear of viet you had selected as the strong point of defence, That evening (the 28th) Gen. Butler sent you an order to return to La Eneantada and encamp there, You wrote @ note to him requesting, for reasons which you assigned, that he would permit you to remain where you were, and sent it by Col. Hardin. Capt. Drum and myself accompanied Col. H. and were present at the interview between Gen, Butler and himself. During the conversation that ensued after your note had been delivered, Col. Hardin, among other reasons which he gave why he hoped your request might be complied with, urged the fact that you were near a point which you believed you could maintain in case the enemy ad- vanced upon you from the direction of San Luis Potosi, Gen, Butler said he would not revoke his order, and re- marked that if the Mexicanarmy came he had already chosen a ground for battle, and even gone so far as to fix the points to be occupied by the several corps, That ground was the broad plain immediately in front of Saltillo; and I think he also anid he bad already prepared rond the artillery leading trom the city up on to it | have mentioned all these circumstances to show with what anxiety and exertion you endeavored to be per- mitted to occupy # point within striking distance of the one you had selvcted as the best for battle. On the 30th of December your whole command was obliged to re- trace its steps to La Encantada, which it did with evident reluctance, as all the officers agreed entirely with youin opinion as to the disadvantages arising | the pass of Buena Vista, from such & change of position. Previous to the time when you first wont to Saltillo, All thore who went with you on that occasion were prevented, as I have shown, by the extreme darkness, even from seeing the great road on which they sought to travel, and could not, therefore, have had at that time a favorable opportunity for mak- ing military reconnoissances, You returned from the city,and had pointed out the position to me, as 1 have stated, before they repassed over it.

He entirely and heartily concurred in that sentiment. He could say for himself aud the Count Walewski, that they had from the beginning of the ne- gotiations, up to the present moment, been animated with none other than the most anxious desires to bring these matters to an amicable conclusion. He did not yet despair of attaining that most important and desi- rable result. But there was one matter connected with this negotiation, which he wishe d to express—he would say, one duty—which he wished to Gachacae: It gave him the greatest pleasure to perform that duty, which was to express his cordial and sincere thanks in that public manner for the friendly spirit manifested, and for the cordial, frank aud zealous co-operation which had been afforded by Mr. Harris, in theee negotiations. His efforts had been judicious, and his suggestions, and assistance, he would even say, able and efficient, in con- nection with these complicated questions. He occupied @ position of enviable neutrality, and bad used it, he would say, impartially and discreetly. He yet hoped hat they would arrive at a favorable and peaceful ter- ination. Whilst such # spirit and such purposes were animating all parties in these great questions, he could not but think that all difficulties would at last be ob- viated He would further bes | that nothing had been, and no reasonable thing would be left undone, to effect the ob- ject so much desired by all. His lordship then spoke in a most feeling and el manner of the friendly relations which existed England and the United States—their common o1 their similar habits and customs—and, he wo say, their common sympathies, He said it could scarcely be otherwise, when their literature and idiom ‘were the same. Whilst Bacon and Locke resided over the empire of the mind—-whilst lackstone and Coke were the great commentators upon the laws which regulated the rights of men and property in both countries—-whilst | Bryant charmed with his verse, and Irving instruoted "and re- fined with his inimitable prose writings—whilet Shak- speare was the painter of men and manners of all coun- tries, and for all time, it could scarcely be otherwise, than that these kindly sympathies a! exist between the people of these kindred nations, having 60 map: causes for harmony of views and feelings. Yet, he said, he knew there had been persons who would destroy these sympathies—who would weaken these ties of kindred, and these relations of amity. He would not trust him- self to speak of these persons or these efforts as they de- served But he would say, that being known and un- derstood, they would be as harmless as their purposes had certainly been mischievous His lordship pursued this vein of eloquent and interesting remarks for some time. He was repeatedly cheered during their delivery He concluded by offering as a sentiment—* ‘The health of Mr. Harris, the able and worthy representative of the United Btates,”” ‘This toast was drank in the same spirited manner as the former. Mr. Harris then replied in prompt and feeling manner, to the remarks of Lord Howden. He said he desired to express his grateful and most sincere thanks to his Lordship for the kind sentiment which he had proposed, and to the company present for the gra- tifying wad obliging manner in which it had been received. He said the eloquent and kind remarks of his Lordship had taken him completely by surprise, He had not supposed that his anxious desires, and zealous, though inconsiderable, efforts to terminate these diffi- culties, in the spirit of the sentiment which he had pro- posed, were worthy of any especial remark, or would attract any particular notice. He felt that he was in- debted to the generous nature of his Lordship for his flattering appreciation of these feeble services—little more indeed could they be tl , cordial good wishes—for the speedy and peaceful termination of these difficulties. He would also take the occasion to say there, what it afforded him so much pleasure to re- at, that he had found from the first moment of their intercourse, on the part of his Lordabip and the Count Walewski, the same frank dispositions and cordial desires to Dring thote vexed questions to’ an amlcable arrangement. He might be permitted to say, too, and i was proper and just to repeat it here, that the ter of foreign relations of this government had fested the same anxious desires to adjust these difficul- ties upon such principles as he deemed proper and right. Under these circumstances, he could not permit himself to believe but what there would be found some Ford amidst the infinite resources and expedients of diplo- macy, to harmonize conflicting opinions and obviate all difficulties. This had been his hope from the beginni: —and, standing as he did, the representative of one the greatest commercial and neutral powers of the pre- sent times—holding the like friendly relations with all parties to these complications—he could but make his friendly suggestions, and express his friendly de in ‘the spirit and in the manner which bis L 3% * obligingly mentioned. He had done so, as the friend of peace. fe had done it, not as partisan of any party —but in the spirit and with the sincere motives of « cificator, He had done so for the sake of this beaut country —for the sake of that peace, so necessary for ite prosperity and advancement—that its true interests and business operations might return to their accustomed chaunels—and for the sake of that immense neutral commerce, #0 large a portion of which he represented here. ‘These had been some of the motives and considers tious by which he had been influenced in this matter He would say nothing there of the origin of these difi- culties. He would not then express any opinion on that point—although his opinion in regard to it was well known to his Lordship and to others; he deemed it his duty rather, as difficulties did exist, to endeavor ins friendly spirit to assist in healing them—to lend what- over aid he prudently and properly could, to harmonise conflicting views, and to soothe, as far as possible, irritations inseparable from this state of things. He wished to fee this question adjusted, without any saori- fice of principle—without any detriment of honor—with- out any unworthy concession from any party. course he had advised, and this end he hoped would yet be attained, He replied also to the obliging remarks of his Lord- ship, in regard te the friendly relations and kind sympe- thies which existed between the people of England and the United States We cannot follow him in all that he said upon that point, Inthe course of hia remarks, however, he said, that he, perhaps, entertained some peculiar notions in regard to the English language itself, Spoken aa it was, incommon, by the people of England and the United States—the greatest commercial nations whieh had ever cxisted—it might be considered as the law of 601 merce, of civilization, and he beliey ould ulti- mately become the language of the world. Mr. H. then ‘turned to count Walewski and seid, yours is the language of diplomacy, Count Walewski—but that, nevertheless, he believed that the language in which hi uent ween n— also | was then addressing him, would ultimately become the general language of the world. He in thanked his lordship for his Kind remarks, and Count for his obliging sentiments, and resumed bis seat amid the cheers of the company, We do not pretend to give fully and literally, what wassaid by either gentlemen.
