The govern- inent was occupied with the regulation ofthe army. decree was about to be issued on the subject. contem- . Plating the number of the standing army at twenty thousand men. It will be seen, by our correspondents letter, that there ‘was somo design entertained of sending a Mexioan com- missioner to Wash! , to solicit the appointment of ocommiesionerato at Havana, and arrange the terms ef a treaty of ce. We are not yet prepared to say how authentic is this report. ‘The steamer Portland, Capt.

We regret extremely to learn of the death of Capt. James Madison Smith, of the 3d infantry. He died at Eacero, the morning of the 4th inst., oa his way from Vera Crux to Mexioo, of congestion of the brain. Capt. Smith was appointed to the army from the State of ‘Mississippi. Asevere norther commenced at Vera Crus on the 13th inst. Three schooners were driven ashore; among them the Dove, trom Tampico. At Vera Cruz the papers havea rumor of the defeat of a division of our army at Llano Grande. Our later letters from the capital show it to be unfounded. The Arce Iris says the Mexican htdafeer rel has call- ed on Gens. Canalizo, Alcorta and Lombardiui, to give them commissions in the new army. This measure has been highly disapproved by the Monitor Republicano, which states that these officers, either for cowardice or Want of capacity, have become unworthy of having troops under their orders. This journal, says the Rain- bow, counts for nothing the wounds that Lombardini re- ceived at lu Angostura, and says that not even the s20- Tifice of fourteen lives could bring them back the honor and reputation that they have irretrievably lost. ‘The tollowing is from the Vera Cruz Fice American of the 9th inst.: a A sailor by the name of John Ireland, whohad desert- ed from the U. 8. ooner Flirt, and joined a company of dragoons, was arrested and pot in custody by the commander of the Flirt, night before last attempted to mak» hia escape, and was shot by the sentinel posted in front of the guard-house, Ireland died a fewminutes afterwards, So fur a8 we have read we have seen no mention made of the death of Gen. Herrera, although such intelligence was full, ected. A soldier belonging to the Louisiana mounted yvolun- teers was found drowned newr the mole at Vera Cruz onthe 10th inst. His name is not given, The following items are from the Free American of the 10th inst:— ROM THE INTERIOR.

Tue Monitor of yesterday publishes n decces from Senor Koss, the Minister of Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs, protesting against the sule of church property in this city, except for the beaefit of the Mexican Go- verament andthe Church. You will recollect thats short tims ago the civil and military Governor prohi- bived the nale of any of thin property, except by permis- sion of the Govern: nt of the United States, and Ro- #.’8 decrea seems to be intended to counteract the ef- fect of this prohibition, He, Rosa, pronounces all such Sales invalid and of no effect, and speaks warmly on the subject, ‘The Mexican people, or those who administer the Goverment, appear to think that the result of ti recent batiles in this valley has been just nothing at i What notwithstanding the loss of their capital, the dis- re nn ene | persion of their army, the dissentions of their chiefs, and their entire want of control over any portion of the country occupied by our troops. rything must go on just as it did before ; that the mnues of the country must flow into their hands as usual, and that any diver- sion of them for the support of our troops is an insult, a wrong committed on the nation, which they as the rulers thereof are bound to resent. In fact, judging from the tone of his decree, one would think that Ross intended to make # personal matter of th fair with General Scott. May not a great portion of this feeling arise, at least x as regards this city, from the fact that the Mexican authorities bere have been permitted to retain office, thus virtually leaving tl vernment of the city in their hands’ They have the collection of the revenue, including the odious alcabala and the sole control of the police of the city. far as the great masv of the inhabitants are con- cerned, the only perceptible difference to them is, that the American flag is waving over the palace, the hated uniform is seen in every street, and they have not the | fame license for plunder that they formerly had, ‘They | pay the same taxes as before, the same prices for food and clothing, answer before the same tribunals for their misdemeanors, bribe the same judges and public officers, and are domineered over by the same armed police in the same uniforms; and all this 1 attributed by them | Nothing can beat it into the | to but one motive—fear. heads of these people that we do not fear them. On the contrary, everything concurs to impress them with this belief, and the first step, in my opinion, towards oon- vincing them that they are conquered, would be to abolish the Ayuntamiento, and form an American coun- oil, which would at once take charge of the revenue and police; introduce system and larity where now no- thing but confnsion exists; abolish the Alcubala, which weighs 0 heavily on the poorer classes; and, in short, But enough resent. as sent to Queretaro his report of the battles before this city, im which he is ssid tocome down , particularly Bravo, “with a sharp #! 3” but this is nothing new.

He is viewed with distrust by all parties, and cannot command, among the native Mexi- cans, even a decent corporal’s guard. He is baeked, however, by many foreigners, among whom is one Juan de la Granja, formerly Spanish consul at New York, and & correspondent ofthe New York Sun. This fellow has gone to Queretaro, where he will, doubtless, aid Paredes with all his influence. El Iris Espanol, the Spanish organ here, comes out in along article, protesting against the feeling which appears to have sprung up in the United States in favor of the permanent occupation of this country. Mexico, December 13, 1817.—A discovery was made on Thursday in the convent of San Domingo, in this city. Some of the troops who arrived with Gen Pat terson were quartered there, and turning over en o! desk that was left in one of the rooms. found it contained some fifteen thousand dollars in silver and gold. Th! led to @ furthe: roh,,and in one of the cells a large quantity of clothing and ammunition was found, which Was removed to the quartermaster’s department. About 6 o’elock on Saturday night, Mr. Doyle, the En- glish Charge d’Affairs, arrived from Vera Cruz in the diligence, escorted by Captain Fairchild, of the Louis- jana Rangers, and about thirty-six men. They brought neither letters nor papers, however, but last night the English courier arrived, with a full budget, Captain F informs me that there cannot be less than twelve thou- eand men on the road up here, and that General Butler would be in Puebla yesterday (Sunday) with seven thou- fand men. ‘the Ohio regiwent is enoamped at Kio Frio, under Col. Irwin, together with one company of Il- linois dragoons, under Capt. Little, numbering in all about six hundred men. ‘There are seven companies of the Ohio regiment there, the other four being at Puebla This encampment is doubtless intended to be perma- nent, as the men were building themselves houses. The weatner is said to be excessively cold there. The reports of Gens Soott, Pillow, and Worth, were received by the British courier, but I have not yet them Yester- day was the woniversary of the mir of Our Lady of Guadalupe. the patroness of Mexico in common with two-thirds of the Americans here, | s¢ out to pay a visit to her own peculiar shrine, at the vil- lage of Guadalupe, « few miles from here. ‘The road, which is @ beautiful one, was lined trom the city gate to” the door of the church with pedestrians, equestrians, carriages and ompibusses. ‘Tbe whole popniation of the city appeared to be on the road, and as we approached the chure», the throng became so dense that it was with diflloulty we could proceed. Leaving ou; horses in the stabie, we entered the plaza, which had awnings drawn aoroes ite whole extent, and entered the churec! at about eleven o'clock. The ceremony of high moss was about being performed, and I was struck with the sin- gular beauty of the interior, so different from that of any other church | had seen in the republic It was painted white, and richly, though chastely decorated with gold and silver. ‘I senting round the altar is suid to be of solid silver, though | could not get close enough to it to jud, The organs, ot which there are two, are very fine, and the organist isa perfect musi cian. They hed, also, an orchestra and a set of chiming bells, which harmonized most beautifully together. The church was hung all around with paintings of the Vir- gin of Guadalupe. but the original miracutous painting, S was not visible. After depositing a trifling gratuity in | the box, we left the church and ascended the hill, upon which stands the original chapel which the virgin com- manded to be built. Upon reaching the summit, a sight burst upon us of unequalled splendor. The whole yal- ley of Mexico lay spread out like a map before us. In the distance lay the Hermowa cuidad itself, and we could plainly trace the route of the American army from Chaico round, Immediately at our feet lay the village ot Guadalupe, every nook and corner of which swarmed with living beings, and the road to the capital appeared to be as thronged as when we came through. About half way up the hill stand: jngular monument, rep- Tesen\ing the mast of a ship with the sa ls—main: topsail and top-gallantsail, all full, built of sub- stantial stone and mortar.

The church on the hill is smal reased forward to th. altar, where did not go near enough to a nt hill, we walked through the Plaza, everything that could tempt a Mexican appetite was offered for sale—pulgar, and a composition of meat and chil:s forming the staple. ‘There were candied statues of the Virgin in all her glory —the glory being represented by a streak of yellow around the head—and sugar in so many forms and shupes, that Nichols, the great New Orleans confection- would have died of envy had he seen them.

At ubout halt-past two we left the place, and then the stream from the city appeared to be undiminished. 1 did not hear of avy affruys taking place, and the people appuared to be very quiet. However, we all lost our handkerchiefs, but that was looked upon as a matter of course Ihave never been ina church in Mexico without having my pocket picked. I enclose you an order from Gen Scott, issued to-day, of the most severe character, about the guerrilla par- ties, who are said to be gathering in considerable num- bers through the country. The concluding paragraph to favor the idea that the post of Rio Frio will anent, absolutely no news from Que- Congrers does not meet, aud there js a rumor in rétaro town that Santa Anos bas been proclaimed Dictator there, but I oannot trace it to any reliaulesource Every thing here appears to favor the belief that » movement will be shortly made for the interior.

Nous verrons Dec. 14.—Nothing new this morning. The courier goes off at eight o'clock, and I send the morniog papers y him, General Scott has issued another order, divid- ing the army into brigades, under the command of Gens Smith, Cadwalader, and Col Riley. ‘The following is General Scott's order touching the guerillas :— Heapquanrens or rue Ansty, ?

Robivson was conducted to the gover- nor, and explained to him that the purpose of the Americans was to take the port, and he advised irrender to prevent disastrous consequences.— Mr. Robinson also ex that he had fallen in with the United States squadron, in the Argo, off Cap» Pulaon, and the vessel was made prise of. The xican commandant replied that the surrender of the town was out of the question, being imcompatible with the honor of the commandant and that of the arms of the republic. Mr, Robinson then returned to the Argo. On the i9th the Congress and the Portsmouth took up their position to open their fire ; the town was formally summoned to surrender, under pain of being fired into The commandant still refused, but the A) not open uponit that day. The Mexi having no heavy artillery to annoy our squadron, the commandant evacuated the town eine the night, with his troops, and took up @ position at Bacoohibampo, league from the town, where he had previously placed a battery of fourteen guns to resist the Americans, should they attempt to penetrate the interior. At 6 o'clock on. the morning of the 20th, the Americans opened their fire from both vessels of war and the two mortars, and con- tinued it for more than an hour. In this time they dis- charged upon the town over 600 shot,among which were mavy shells. One English resident was killed, some houses were burned, and others destroyed. A flag of truce was then sent to them, and a party of sailors and marines then went ashore and nated the American flag on the fort erected on the hill called the Casa Blan- ca, close to the pier. ‘Thereupon the following proclamation was issued:— Proclamation to the inhabitantsof Guaymas and its aati now in the power of the forces of the United ates: — Be it known fhat I, Elie A. T. Lavalotte, commander- in-chiet of the forces of the United Stat actually in porsession of the port and town of Guaymas and its suburbs, in the State of Sonora, Republic of Mexico, do declare and decree as follows: — 1. The port and town of Guaymas and its suburbs having been taken by the foroes of the United States, all the functions of the officers appointed by the Go- veroment of the Mexican Republic and the State of So- nora kave ceased to exist. 2. With the view of preserving order in the town and jurisdiction of Guaymas, the municipal authorities are invited to continue to discharge their respective duties. 3. The property of the church and complete toler tion ed all religions and opinions shall be sacredly re- spected, yn The civil.administration shall be at all times sub- ject to the revision and direction of the commander-in- chief, as he may deem it necessary for the interests of the United States . The port and town will be held by the forces of the United States; and as all times they will be under their power and within the reach of their guns, it will by the interest of all the inhabitants to give prempt and exact notice of the approach of any hostile force what- ever, since the entrance of such a force into the town or its suburbs will draw upon them the weight ef the commanding batteries. 6. The late civil authorities will at once make a total surrender of all public property within their jurisdic- tion, and will deliver over the same to an officer who will be appointed to receive them, and for any omission in this respect they will be subject to severe punishment. 7. The head of the civil administration, when it is or- ganized, will make daily report of ail occurrences within his jurisdiction to the commander-in-chief, and will bo pestle for any negloot whatever in comply- ing with this duty. 8. The commander-in-chief of the foroes of the Uni- ted States will at all times be accessible to the head of the civil administration for counsel and advice. 9. The United States of Americ: war with the Government of Mexico, but not with citizens indi- vidually in their private relations ; hence every citizen or resident who conducts himself with due respect and obedience to the existing authorities will be fully pro- teoted in their rights and privileges, not opposed to the belligerent rights ef the United States, while the war continues with the Republic of Mexico 10. The port of Guaymas is open to all legal com- merce, and the importation of all goods or merchandize whatever, excepting contraband of war. 11. The duties upon importations, until farther orders, will be five cents per ton for tonnage duty, and 1 yer cent, ad valorem, upon goods; the vatue will be eati- mated by appraisers sworn uuder the laws of the United Sta 12. For the present, Mr William A. Robinson is np- pointed collector of the port, and he will at oncw enter upon the disoharge of his duties. 13.

Given on board the U S. frigate Congress, the 20th day of Ootober, 1847, and the 72d year of the indepen- dence of the United States. (Signed) E A. T. LAVALETTE, Captata of the Navy of the United States and Com- mander-in-Chief of the Squadron. The Mexican account now goes onto say that during the day and part of tne night in which the invaders went on board, the Americans sacked the town The night of the 2iet they disembarked 400 troope with two pieces of artillery, with the view to protect the embarka- tion of the property to Juhu Robinson. They went aboard the following evening without being left to re- peat the sucking of the town. Fortunately, says the Mexican account, the temilles of the town were out ofthe reach of harm, thanks to the timely precautions taken. On the 23d the Congress set sail, leaving the Ports mouth and Argo at anchor. MEXICAN PRISONERS. The effort made by the Archbishop of Mexico to ob- tain from Geu. Scott the release of hi joan prison- era,and Gen. Scott’s reply have effec! mething for them. As noon a# it became known that Gen. Scott ao- ured Mexicen officers of violating their purole, and with the sanction of Santa Anna’s Government, Senor Otero introduced into Congress a bill to reguiate the law of the country upon the whole subject. It provid that those only shall be regarded as prisoners of war who are taken by the enemy in the discharge of their military duty, either on the field of battle, or in some place taken or surrendered on these conditions. It declares those to be deserters who voluntarily be- come prisoners of war, or in the pledge themselves not to bear arms a my, who shall lose their rights as citiens, be sus- pended from command from six to ten years, und shall not hold any public office. Another section is aimed at | those who lwave thelr residence for a town occupied by our troops, and thus surrender themselves prisoners of war, and give their parole, (as many have done st Mon- terey and Saltillo.) A like severe punishment is declar- ed against them. And those who shall desert in the presence of the enemy, or leave the service on which they are ordered, are declared traitors. The fifth arti- cle declares that ia the case of capitulatioas, no stipula- tion for the liberty of the garrison shall be made upon the condition that they shall not again bear arms egainst the enemy, nor upon any other condition which excludes exchange or ransom; but in those cases where military rules permit the surrender of a place, an engagement may be entered into that the defend- ers of it will remain prisoners upon their word of honor ixth article provides that soldiers, having been le prisoners legitimately according to’ the first arti- cle. may also pledge their parole, the permission of the government being first obtained upon a consideration of each case, The seventh and last article provides that the government iteelf shall take care that no prisoner, set at large on his parole, shall commit the offence of vio- lating it. The bill was accompanied by a well written report by Otero. He defends the power of pledging one’s word of honor asa humane provision of national law which Mexicans should respect’ ‘Tho violation of it ought never to be tolerated, and he thinks that General Soott must have been misinformed in saying that any Mexican soldier hud violated his parole. ‘The bill was likely to become a law. GENERAL HEGRERA. On the evening of the 22nd of November, the last sa- oraments of the Catholic church were administered to Gou. Herrera wt Querctare, A committee of Congress, consisting of Senores Otero, Rejon, Perdigon, Pacheco, Garay, Gomez, Farias, and ‘Talavera, the members of the cabinet, the governors of the States, and « large number of members of Congres, civil and religious corporations, and s vast concourse of citizens were present. in his itinens, the general beara himself, says the letter-writers, “with the courage ofa soldier, and the resignation of a Chrietian”” ‘The physicians had not given up ail hopes of bis recovery, for which all clases of his countrymen appear to pray.

Commanding. CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE MEXICANS AND INDIANS. [From the New Orleans Picayune, Dec mot Our iatest advices from Saltillo told of a conflict be- tween the Texan Rangers and a band of Camanches. Upon looking over some late papers from the city of Mexico, we find several letters from San Luis Potosi de scribing actions between the Indians and Mexican troops. The savages had boldly proached within seventeen leagues of the city of San Luis. In one en- gagement the Mexicans had fifty infantry and thirty dragoons engaged. The party was completely cut to ploces, only eight of the dragoons escaping with their ives, and five of these being wounds gagement took place between the Indians and one hun- dred dragoons of the 4th Regiment of cavalry, which were marching from Matehuala to join Gen. Avalos ‘The fight occurred at Mingole, and the dragoons were completely routed, seventy being killed, among whom were Col. Labastidu, and several other odicers The survivors of this fight j t Mexican arms were more successful. With a force of about 400 cavalry, he writes on the 18th of November, that he that morning attacked a body of from 340 to 370 Indians in the hacienda of San Juan del Salado. ‘The action be- gan at five in the morning, and terminated at two in the afterno.n, (the date of the general’s letter) Only thirty or forty Indians were then left in the interlor of the hacienda, whom he save it will be necessary to de- atroy, as they refuse to surrender, and defend thempelves jagely. All the rest, he says, perished. the very small mber who fled finding escape impossible on account of the difficulty of the country, the Me The Mexi- cans recovered two thousand horses, and set Mberty over two hundred women and children who had been captured. The loss of the Mexicans was small, though several officers were wounded, and Gen, Avalos had his horse shot under him. It is caloul of San Luis over four hundred Mexicans have been kill- atrocities have been committed. ‘The Present Police Law. ‘To those who have been close observers of the practi- cal operations and workings of the present police, it Is perfectly obvious that it has not only failed to acoomplish the objects for which it was ostensibly intended, but that charged upon the former system—comprehending the watch department, and the marehuls appointed by the Mayor, as special police officers—while the increased and enormous expense to which the city is subjected by the support of nine hundred men, who have justly been char- acterized by our present Mayor as non-producers, affords no corresponding benefit, either to the more effectual sup- Pression of crimes, the detection of criminals, or to the morals of the community. ‘That this ia true may be readily determined by a brief examination of the system, its working tendencies, and the mode in which it is con- ducted. Tho first generai objection is, that come hun- dred men are in office as policemen, each und all of whom are required to give their whole iime, exclu- sively, and are forbid to follow or be interested in any business or employment. These men are required, as it is said, to watoh the oity day snd night—that is to aay, two-thirds of each day and might, they are required to patrole in certain assigned beats; while in the day time many of them are posted at certain corners of the streets, where they may be seen frequently sitting down, or standing smoking segars, and reading the newspapers, or idly gasing at the passers by; while some others walk about the wards, ko Every one must perceive while this is called hard life the herd- ship consists in want of regular al the weather. Yot it inan idle life employment, but accompanied with the unfati comitanr upon idleness, at least as far as the concerned—temptation, To men with families, the salary is iosufficienc, aad being #0, the opportuni supplythe deficiency ure not viewed; waile to men without principle, there is no position in office where more money Tan be realioed than ta the ollee of policeman. It may be said that care in the appointment should be taken— but it should be remembered that the appointment is poiltioal; and political influence, little charity, covers 4 multitude of sins. Satisfied as we are from close observation, that th tem bas not only failed to accomplish ‘its supposed objects, uuder the present mAnagement, but that even the good that might have been attained has heen perverted, by the most gli ing and palpable violations of the law itself, it comes the duty of the Legislature to apply the’ prop and relieve the city and the citizens from the grievous and onerous burthen imposed upon them. With these preliminary remarks, | suall proceed to show in from time to time, how far these positions are correct. O.P.Q Police Intelligence, Burgliry.—The tailoring establishment situated at No. 62 Avenue C, was entered by burglars on Monday night last, by forcing an entrance through the back win- dow, stealing therefrom cloths, cassimeres, vestings and ready made clothing, valued at $450. ‘The rascals, it is sn ppose alley way adjoining the etore into the street Where were the vigilant police belonging to that vicinity’ what were they about?—allowing that amount of pro- perty to be carried through the streets without detec- tion, It is possible that the police were not aware of the robbery, as uo notice was made of the fact on the morning return, sent daily to the chief of police, which is the custom to do in cases of all robberies, There- any burglary having been committed.
