The whole correspondenae, which the adminis. tration has beon careful to examine with a revising and suppressing hand, will soon be published, and then the country will form its own opinion. The mle adaratan ing between Gon. Seott and Mr. Trist arose in this way. mn Mr. Trist arrived at Vera Cruz, he transmitted to Gen Scott a nealed packet, ad- dreamed to the Mexican S+crotary of Foreign Affairs, with a request that it should be forthwith forwarded to him. Seott was then at Jalepa. He immediately ae knowledged this communication, ant though he took exception to being the medium of delivering a despatch, the contents of which he did not understand, b ground of objection was, that the Mexican Congre ter the battle of Cerro Gordo, had adopted the most vio- lent decrees, declaring that the Executive should not even make an armistion He thorefore deemed it in- consistent with the honor of the country to send the packet without direct instructions from the War Depart- ment. ‘At this Mr. Trist took umbrags, feeling all the conse- quence of his new dignity, and a sharp correspondence ensued. Subsequently they mot, and a personal inter view explained away all misunderstanding. In the letter of the 25th of July, from which I have cited, Gen Scott ‘expressed his readiness to withdraw from the department all correspondence touching this unplosaant subject; but, said he, “I ask no favor” ‘The error, on the part of Mr. Trist, was in not visiting Gen. Scott in person at the outset, and explaining the object of is mission, for which he was afterwards re- boked by Mr. Buchanan, as will appear from the docu ments. Geo. Scott was ignorant of the whole design, except so far as Mr. Trist siguified bis authority to nego- tiato a treaty, comprehending the general power to male an armistice, which might, injudiciourly exercised, have involved the ralety of thearmy. T Scott consi- dered a military right, and he justly rofused to surren- der it without distinct orders from Washlugton The following are tho extracts ulluded to, Pursca, July 28a, 1847.

This spirit on hia pact—as will clearly appear when the details ara communicated —has mani feasted itself not ia apissive way merely, (as might bo upposed from tho natare of our relative positions and dutios,) but in a disposition to assume responsibility, and responsibility of the gravest kia! utter disregard of consequences to him-elf. And this disposition, or rathor this readi and fixed determination on his part, al- though the occasion which has called it forth did not re- late to the discharge of his military duties, strictly speak ing, has not required any appeal from me to elicit it, but has manifested itself inthe most spontaneous and patri- otic manner. Under these circumstances, it could not hut be a cause of the most serious regret on my part, if the correspondence between us that took place shortly after my arrival in thia country, should in any way be brought to the notice of tho public, and consequently, if in your judgment, consistent with propriety, it would be highly graufyiog to me to bo permitted to withdraw it from the files of the department.

The Scott correspondence has gone in to-day. It is not near as interesting as the public has a right to ex pect, and half adozen letters embrace all that is in the least Jegroo amusing and striking. It would seem as it General Scott had been very much put out with Mr Trist’s mission, which he looked upon trom the jump, os intended to humiliate him. He objected to the “'s package from the State Department, which he was o dered to forward to the Mexican Secretary for Foreiga Affiirs, and to the powor which he said was given to “the Clerk in the State Department,” to tell him when to con- clude an armistice with the enemy. All the letters written to him by tho Secretary of War could not com. pose his mind, and he speaks of Mr. ‘Trist in litte better style than if he were introducing the name of a noto- rious pickpocket. “Tha Clerk in the State Department” soems to have haunted him, and he thanks his stars that the President has not degraded him so far as to associate him with Don Nicholas in the negotiations. Mr. Trist, in return, did not spare Gen. Scott in his letters to the State Department, which are choi i cumstantial, and exquisitely impertinent : firs General, and after his recall, to the President Mr. Trist was not to be heade2, eit by the General commanding in Mexico, nor by the Commandet-in-chief of the army General Scott received ono of his notes, a reply from Mr. Trist, averaging thirty pages, whish tho hero of Cerro Gordo calis.a farago of insolence, conceit aud ar- rogance, aad whieh he ouly encloses’ to the Secretary of War, as ‘a specimen of diplomatic literature and manners.” How Scott and Trist, after ali this, could bave come together, and co-operated in bringing the treaty, is a matter of surprise and pishment Certain it 4, however, that Trist, not Scott, yielded tho point, aad that Scott had no cause in the sequel to de aounoe Trist as worse than Marat, Danton and St Just It wouldseem, hewever, from this group of revolution- ary Frenchmen, in Gon.

Salut et fraternite, ~~ Aupany, March 20, 1848 Affairs in the Legislature ing general bills for the orvanization of railroad companies, the question which has most attracted the attention 0: the two, houses, is whether the Legislature possesses the consti- H | tutional power to delegate, in any manner. to any person or railroad corporation, the power to | determine in what cases it may be expedient to | occupy and to take private property for the use of such corporations, or of assessing the value | of the property, and adjusting any differences |-was referred the bill to abolish capital p that may arise between the corporation and th landholder.

It provides further, that any such company may take aod appropriate private property for the construction of their road, if the Legislature, upon petition, shall de- cide that the proposed road will be of sufficient public utility to justily the taking of private pro- perty for its construction. So it willbe seen that the Legislature reserves to itself the power of deciding this important question, and retuses to delegate it in any mauner The bull authorizes the company to borrow fifty per cent of the capitel stock paid in to aid in the construction of the road, and it provides that the fare shall be regulated 80 as aot to yield in any year anet profitexceeding ten per ut per annum, and no alteration of tare is to be made unless it does exceed taut rate.
