_ NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING. MARCH 25, 1848. a mr 95 oe FAMOUS SCOTT AND TRIST CORRESPONDENCE. [Extrect} Mr. Buchanan to Mr, Trist. [No.2] Wan Derantwent, Werhington, June 14, 1847, You were entrusted with no further agenoy in regard to my communication of the 15th April last, addrersed tothe Mexican minister for foreign relstions, after it was placed ja the hands of General Scott. Your whole duty respecting it was then performed. If he has either refured or neglected to transmit that important doou- ment to the minister to whom it was directed, and thus violated a military order of the President, issued to him through the Department of War, he hes incurred heavy responsibility; but for thir ither answera- ble to the Department of State nor th mmissioner to Mexico. The question belongs exclusively to the mili- tary branch of the government. You might ly have relied upon the government here for tae vindication of your character and conduct. Indeed. General Scott’s letter to you had upon its face placed him go clearly in the wroug that no commentary upon it, however able, wiich you may have written, can havo made the case plainer. Some days before the ar- rival of your despatch, the War Department had receiv- ed a despatch from the general, enclosing a copy of his letter to you; and a judicious and appropriate answer, dated on the 3ist of May, was returned to him by the Becretary of War. Whilst our armies are in the country of the enemy, and our minister of peace is at the head quarters of the comwanding general, this is no time for personal alteroa- tions between them, if these can possibly be pvoided. Under such circumstances, the greater the sacrifice of private grief, however well founded, which you may make upon the altar of your country, the more will th: redound to your honor hereafter. You have been de- epatched to Mexioo by your government asa minister of peace; and, to accomplish the great object of your mis- sion, a hearty co cperation between the g neral and yourself may be indispensable. Under these considera- tions, | am directed by the President. in case amicable re- lations shall not, in the mean time. @ been restored, to instruct you to call upon General Soott and offer to communicate to h!m, confidentially, the instructions and the projet of a treaty with which you have been en- trusted, and to report to this department, without de- lay, the circumstances and the reeult of your interview. Goveraor Marcy has again written to General Scott by the messenger who will bear you this despatch. ‘Yours, very respectfully, | JAMES BUCHANAN, N. P. Trust, Esq., &6., &e., &9. (Extract. Mr. Buchanan to Mr, Trist Department or State, [No.3] Washington, July 13, 1847 Stn—A duplicate of your No. 4. dated 2ist of May, 1947, together with a copy of the first ten pages of your letter to Gen. Seott of the 9th of May, and of your letter to him of the 20th of May. was received at the depart- ment on the 28th ultivo Your No. 6, of the 3d of Jane, 1847, wan aleo received on tho 29th ultimo; but your No. 5 (if indeed there be such a number) has’ not yet come tohand. It is much to be regretted that you could not have found time to propare and transmit copies of your letters to Gen. Scott of the 9th and 20th of May, with the original of your despatch, No.4 _In that event they ‘would have been received nearly ® month earlier; and even now we have only # part of your letter to him of 9chof May. Gen. Scott’s answer to these letters, ted at Pueblo on the 29th of May, has been received at the War Department, from which I have obtained a copy. These documents bave produced feelings of deep mortification and disappoiotment in the mind of the President. It is lamentable to reflect that the restora- tion of peace may have been defeated or detayed by a violent and embittered personal quarrel between two functionaries of the government in the enemy's coun- try, and whilst the war is raging You do not seem sufficiently to have reflected that you ware entrusted with no power whatever over the isposition of my communication of the 15th of April last, to the Mexican minister for foreign affairs, except tha: of a mere bearer of despatches. After ithud:each- ed the han’s of Gen. Scott, your agency ia regard to it should have terminated, and ought never to huve been resumed. His refusal or omission to forward that com- munication to the places of its destivation, in obedience to the mi itary order of the President, throurh the Secre- tary of War, wasa question in no manner connected with your mission it was,therefore, with regret that the President overed from your letter to the general of the 20th of , that you had o wed to take back this communication from his possession, and to assume a discretion which had not been delegated, in regard to the appropriate time for forwarding it to the Mexican mninister for foreign affairs. You say to the General that “so soon #8 I sball be enabled to ascertain that the con- di ion of the goverument of this country ia such as to admit of its delivery, it will be again placed in the hands of the general-in-chief of our forces for that purpose ” You have thus done much to relieve Gen. Scott from the responsibility of disobeying the order communicated tohim through the Secretary of W: and hi ii effect, without any authority, undertaken to decide that it was not propet, under existirg circumstances, to transmit my letter tothe Mexican wivister for foreign affaire In this decision the President cannot concur. That lotter was 1a answer to the letcer of Mr Monaste- rio to mysel!, dated on the 221 of February last, and was requiced, wot only by courtesy, but the highest public couriderations. |ts immediate delivery to the Mexican minister for foreign uffairs could bave done no porsi- ble harm and might have boen produotive of much posi- tive good. Indeed, nad it reached its destination soon after the victory of Cerro Gordo, fromthe state of public feeling then existing in the city of Mexico, it might and probably would nave been productive of the happiest Consequences. But, whether or not, the time of its de- livery was a ques:ion not left to your discretion. ‘The greatest pains were taken, in framing your in- structions, (o prevent all possible interference oa your oe with the appropriate military duties of Gen Scoxt. It Was partly to convince him of this fact that you were authorised to exhibit thes» instiuctions to him, together with the project of the treaty Your authority, far as be was concerned, was limited to the single point of givieg him notice that ths contingency had occurred, to wit, the ratification of the treaty by the Mexican gu- vernment, “on tae happening of whiob, as provided bj the third article, hostilities are required to be suepend- ed” The ratification ofsuch a trenty by Mexico,accord- ing to the spirit of the act of Coagress of the 34 March, 1847, making further appropriation to bring the exist- ing war with Mexico to a speedy and bonorable conclu- sion,” was to be the si:nal for the termination of hos- tilities As the negotiator of the treaty, from his posi- tion, must necessarily be first informed of this event, he ‘was required “without delay to communicate the fact to ths commanders of our land and naval forces respec- tively.” All the rost was left to the instructions issued by tue Seoretaries of War and of the Nevy to our mili- tary and naval commanders. Up to this Inet moment Fe duties were whoily unconnected with General joott, and thea they were limited to a mere official com- muoication, tuat the Moxican government had conclu- SS and ratified = treaty of peace with the United tatre Under theso circumstances, it was with deep regret that tho President learned. from your letter to the Gene- rai of (he 20th of May, that you had undertaken, ia his name, to become the medium of giving to that officer an order in adveuce, to be execu'ed when you should think proper again to deliver into his hards my communica. tion to tae Mextean minister for foreign affairs; and to enforces obedience to this order, you declare that, for al purpose, you stand in precisely the same re Jatiou Lo the President that one of his aids-de camp bears to himself, when eotrasted with a verbal order trom him ate officer disagreeable task thus to criticiss your General ¥oott, by his lettor to you of the 71h ast, had placed himeelf clearly ii the wrong.— any pretext existed for writing such a letter— he could have had none—can oaly appe {row ) cur letter to him of the 6th of May, to which bis ‘Was @ respon itis therefore much to be regretted thet you have kept no copy of thisletter, which has now become «9 imperrent, end'the general bas not furnished the War Department «ith a copy +. | purpo 4 {0 express any opinion of your re ply to Gene: of the Och of May, wetil I shall have fp cotive copy of It before me; amd hin rajoinder to you t May, I leave tn the hawds of the of War, to whom be fs ditecily responsible.

Meeting of the Sonsof Switzerl and. The Swiss residents of New York met on ‘Thursday evening, at St. John’s Hall, to express their sentiments in regard to the late revolution of France. The meeting was not very nume- rously attended, and one of its peculiar featares was the quietness of those assembled, whose wise and grave countenances reminded us of he usual gravity of their countrymen in Eu- Tope. Bpon a transparency were the words “ Hurra for the Republic!” ‘The windows were illuni- nated by numerous candles, and the Swiss stan- « ard was united with the French and American ags. Mr. Cras. Guinanp was chosen President,and Mr. Peritor, S-cretary of the meeting. This latter gentlemin explained then, in a few words, the object of the meeting, which was to appoint & committee, in order to write an address to the French people , to congratulate them on their victory. The fol lowing gentlemen were then presented : Messrs. Prélat, Jean Jaquet, Bandré, Blachaud, Cuna: M. Paevat then rose, and addressed his countrymen He was happy to be present on such a glorious occasion as this, in which they were to speak of liberty ‘Torey ought not be the least, nor the last, to introduce tie Helvetic republic in the demonstration which was qoing to take place in favor of the revolution of France, tre result of which could not be caleulated for the pre- sept, Instead of a corrupt government, which was not satisfied to have a republic for a neighbor, Switzer. land was to have mow a powerfal friond-nation, the members of which would be tho first interested to pro- teot its liberal institations. Mr P. thought that the mo- ment had come to forget those titles of radical and con- servative, aud to form only @ free people, led by the flag of liberty, and principles of nationality. The only thing they wanted, wes that Switserland sould remain free at home, and govern itself according to its own laws and institutions. M. Prélat terminated his speech, ing toname an additional committee, to write 10 the Swiss nation of Europe, in order to congratulate them on the conquest of their freedom ‘This was agroed upon, with the only difference that it was decided that the committeo already named should faifill the same functions. The meeting was going to separate, when Mr Bris- wane made his appearance; and having requested to be heard, made a very long speech, of which we have ste- nographed the following sentence ., Gentlemen and fellow citizens France is ® great happiness, chievement to unity, beset first stome of tho great philanstory of human love and humanitary principles. God created the manship oqual,and formed the paling: nesy of tho hu- maniterian ha in order to direct it to universal happiness. (Three cheers) The riches of . gold of wealthy purses, the fruits of creation, are to be equally divided among the brotherhood of humanity avd sociality, which is to say, among all men, either white or negroes, or copper color, who are ail brothera on the earth; and France hae given the signal of the great soctal happiness ;ehe is the Christ of nations,”&o (as re noid atthe Freach meeting) —the whole conciuding, amidst aburet of applause, by these high sounding words—ge- neral and ovable happiness.” —The revolution of A atien Wan make Ee Sonaueteeiatimtare tee should go and mest ya of mi at the Shakepeare hotel. This was agreed upon, and ihe company separated in the greatest order, Meeting of French Residents, —- A numerous ineeting of French residents took place last evening at the Shakspeare Hotel, for the purpose of giving an expression of sympa- thy, and voting a suitable adéress to the Frenck people, for the glorious manner in which they have accomplished the late revolution in France. Previous to the hour of meeting, excited groups of our French adopted citizens were to be seen in varions parts in the vicinity of the place of meeting, discuasing the topics connected with the late revolution with much earnestness. ‘The room and windows were brilliantly illumi- noted, and a well executed trausparency Was ex- hibited in the principal window of the Shaks- peare, on which inseribed inthe French language, the word: iberty, equality, publie order, brotherhood, the French republic” The tri-colored flag floated proudly from the flag- staff attached to the hotel, and the stars and str'pes, our aational flag, joined to the tri-color, uso oreamented the platform, in the immed: te vicinity of the chair. At eight o’clock the meeting was oalled to order, ainid much cheering and excitement; and much of the stormy spirit that characterized the revolution of 1798 seemed to provail,as had been incidentally remarked by some few old Frenchmen who mingled ia the crowd Over twolve hundred persons were ent, according to the lowest imate Aiter silence « restored, Citizen Rewaen rose and proposed that Citizen Cay- 1.us ba appointed President ‘he motion was carried, amid loud acclamation and ement cheering. ‘The President horeupon took his seat amid renewed cheering, and requested the meeting to understand that ‘anything in the shape of personality in their procend- ings would not be allowed to take place. (Appiause ) It was resolved to adopt this course in consequence © certain personalities that had ocurred in tho proosed- jugs at their last meeting (Loud cheering and ap- plause ) He continued--We are met for ® political pur- pose, aud nothing else. (Applause ) Thocommitteo wh? hed been nominated at the former meeting to preparo en address and resolutions, was he: eupon accepted, with the exception of citizen Chede- ville, who had retired. Upon which The Paxsipenr rose, aud remarked that the Poles resi- Jont in Naw York, being not numerous enough to form ot organization, hod requerted to join their bro ‘renchmen on tho occasion of their glorious tri- ther umph. ‘his proposition wes recoived with the most enthusi- astic applause and cheering. Citizen Pevonst here rose, and demanded that the address which was about to be read, should not be sent by to-day’s (Soturday’s) steamer, but by that of next week. (Cries of “No, no’- “To-mor- row.” He then spoke of the proposition made at the preceding meeting, thet no member of the committee should accept any public employment from either this government or that of France, and said he was oppozed toit; forhe thought that ought ro serve their country when it wanted theirservices. (Cheering ) He then turned round to citizen Guinet, the author of that proposition, and shaking hands with the great- est cordiality with him, said that bo hed no ang ty feel- ings against him. (Applause) But he thought he had better explain, as he had justdone. (Applause ) Citizen Guiner replied, and the matter being under- stood, citizzn Caylus read the address, which was as follows: ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH NATION.

Intelligence from Canada, | Our advices from Montreal are of the Isth, and Que- bec of the 16th inst.— In the Legislative Connell on the 16th inst, Mr. Sul'f van, onthe part of the government, announcad that it was the intention of the ministry to ask fora voto of credit. This method of raising a supply precindes the | necessity of a bill of appropriation, and of obtaining tho | concurrence of the Legislature in the items of expendi- ture. Tho Logislative Assembly, on the 16th inst. agreed to the formation of a select committee on intemperance. This committeo has also boen instructed to inquire whether drunkennoss should not be made punishable, on indiotment, as a crime.

It was from similar discoveries of copper and silver, on the shoros of the upper lakes by the Indians, &e., tha® capitalists were induced to commence exolorations; but not content with ouch evidences of the existence of this precious metal, Mr DéLery has corroborated these discoverios by tho scientific researches of Mr Cunningham, wHo has spent ceveral years in similar purauits.
