Singular Secret History—General Scott as a Diplomatist. It may be recollected that, some time ago, wo published a certain speech made by Senator Clay- ton, of Delaware, in favor of General Scott, in which a very curious statement was made, intimat- ing that after the conquest of Mexico. the General | had actually refused a million and a quarter of dol- | lars, including the Presideney of that republic, | which had been proposed to him by the Mexican authorities. At the same time, allusion was made in an article in the columns of the HfRALD, to se- eret negotiations which were carried on between General Scott and Santa Anna, while the headquar- ters of the American army were at Puebla, in 1847. It was intimated that an arrangement had been made by which Santa Anna was to receive one mil= lion of dollars if he would mak ee, and that | en thousand dollars wer aid him as an earnest, or first tement was somewha' nd in the oditorial | remarks it was § Since that time we have derived information, and we eof the w 0 | ole We believe our | enabled to give a connected narr transaction, from first to last author liable. At all events, their asser- tions a a if not e they may be dis- true t When General Scott had achieved the capture of Vera Cruz, he wrote t) Mr. Marcy, intimating that the presence of a commi headqua 5, 1847, ioner at ( 60., H. of R., 1st rters was desirable. Dee His ap tt, whosaw ing and who an attemp believed ¢ been empower treat himeelf. ninous correspon- dence of the and preceden was ridi in the pablio archives as vanity. Is may be found, by those Senate document the time of the é in June, 1847, wi Pacheco, the M Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Trist, some time in June, bad it by the British courier, through Mr. Bankhead, the British envoy to the M government. The public answer to this ep contained no’ portant. It merely eaid that the Mex’ ment was not able to treat w t the authority of ite Congress, which would meet in the course of six months, and apimadverted upon the American con- duet of the war, as might have been expected. But at the sume time that it was received, came a private communication from Santa Anna, through a source which ge it a color of authority, to th: . wenn UO MULE WEUOUL bole tee ere mmnGatT that if ten thousand dollars were paid down, andit was guaranteed that one million should be placed at the private disposal of the Mexican government upon the ratification cf a treaty of peace, it was highly probable t' at the measure would be consummated. This was the subject of discussion immediately after the reconciliation between the American General and the Commissioner. The reconciliation was brovght sbout by the mediation of Gen. Persifer Smith, with whom Mr. Trist was domiciliated at the time; and as negotiations were seen through the crack which Santa Anna had opened, it was believed that there was a chance of obtaining the peace which the whig party was then loudly cry- ing for, and of eclipsing the hard fighting renowa | which Gen. Taylor had won at Buena Vista. When Pillow arrived at Puebla, he was made a party to the conferences. Mr. Polk had expressed a desire that he should be, as Mr. Trist’s quarrel with Gen. Scott had not spoken very loudly in favor of his discretion, andas Gen. Scott was known to be hostile to the administration. Pillow objected to the bribery of Santa Anna; but it was finally agreed that if he would make the peace, it would be well enough to | give him the million, and save further bloodshed, | —that was while the American army remained at | measure, and sent up the $10,000, which Santa | Avna received, and made use of as he pleased. | There was a grand ball and other entertainments at the Palace of Mexico soon after, and it may be that some of the; rofits of the negotiation went off in that way show that there has been considerable political ebange in the different districts of that State. Tb nd districts, democrats have gained the firet an: how represented by whigs, and gained the fourth, which is now represented bya democrat.

He did so, as he thought, by his negotiations. By the las! of July, he was ready to receive him, and it was le to bring the American General up to the tle as soon as possible, before he should be re- inforced by the troops under Gen. Pierce, of whose rrival at Vera Cruz Santa Anna knew earlier than Gen Scott. He therefore sent a private message, to the effect that it would be necessary for the Ameri- can army to morch into tbe valley of Mexico, and threaten the cit.. Gen. Scott agreed to it, and prepared to go About this time, however, the American General, either feeling a want of support, or being rather ky, thought best to lay the matter before @ coun- of war, and ealled his generals together. Pil- low, Quitman, Twiggs, Shields and Cadwalader were present. Mr. Trist was also there, and Col. Hitch- cock wes on band to make a record of their opinions, for matters of history, or the use General Scott. General BSeott had taken this step without consulting any one, and it was a matter of some little surprise t+ those who knew of the business that it should be confided to romany. After asking opinions with regard to the propriety of advancing wpoa Mexico before the ar- rival of Pieroe’s column, Gen. Scott opened the busi ness of she secret negotiation, and asked opinions upon the propriety of the bribe. Pillow gave his assent to it, as he had previously done ; Quitman eppored its Dwiggs dodged ; Shields opposed it, aad Cadwalader gave no opinion at the time.

He therefgre proposed the course which Gen.

General Scott at once agreed to the first part of the proposition, but struck out the eonding ofthe flag. Gen. Pillow heard from Mr, Trist’ of General Scott’s committal, and at once strongly urged him to relieve himself. Gen. Scott wrote a letter of an ambignos character, which effected tho object, and neglected to do what Santa Anna de- sired him to do—that was, to inform him what out- work of his lines of defence it was intended to ax | sault. It was believed by Pillow that the matter was at an end, and that there would be no halt | after the first success in the valley. \ Santa Anna, it will be seen, was allowed every- | If the American army were successful at first, ho was to bo allowed | time to recuperate if he chose. If he chose to make | peace he was to get 2 million of dollars. And he | never intended that the conquest of his outworks, | Penon or Mexicaleingo, should be an easy matter. General Scott marched from Puebla, arrived at j Ayotta, and determined to attack Mexicaleingo; | but, upon after information, the result of Colonel | Dunean’s reconnoissance, determined to turn the | city, and attack upon the southern front. He did | so, and his army fought the battle of Contreras, proved conclusively how much fuith was to be placed | in Santa Anna’s implied promises. The city was in his power. The dragoons were at the Garita of | San Antonio; Worth’s and Pillow’s divisions, and Shield’s brigade, were in march to sepport them, and would have been in the plaza inan hour, when Gen. Scott ordered a halt. That night, Mr. McIntosh, the British Consul, good deal of consultation, Gen. Scott determined to give up the point about the flag. Santa Anna, being in a critical situation, also sent a flag, not for negotiation, but for proposing a truce for the burial of the dead. Tae two flags met at Coyacan, sbound to listen to their Tt, waa and proposals; and so this point was got over. agreed that an armistice should be conclude negotiations should be commenced; and the first thing then was to conclude upon the terms of the convention. On the 2lst of August, General Seott fixed his head-quartersat Tacubaya, and quartered his army in different villages in the vicinity of Mexico. Onthe morning of the 224 he drew up 2 project of terms to be demanded by the come eioncrs upon his part, and showed it to Generals Worth and Pillow. Both of these generals differed in opinion as to the propriety of the terms, but ina different degree. Worth thought it well to make the armistice and ensure the commencement of negotiations, but wished that General Scott should insist upon the surrender of the Castle of Chapulte- pec, as & guarantee of the good faith of Santa Anna. Pillow opposed the negotiation in toto, until after the surrender of the capital, and espe- cially any armistice without the surrender of Cha- pultepee. General Seott inserted in bis project an indirect demand tor Chapultepec, but not in very peremptory or decided terms. terms of the convention were agreed upon, and approved by General Scott. Nothing was obtain- Yo = peeimnver, UNE OUue mua wes alluwed every edvautage which he was then possessea uw, and time to recuperate and re-fortify during tho negotiations for peace. While these progressed, many instances of viola- tion of faith occurred on the Mexican side, but did not shake the confidence which Gen. Scott had in the expressed and implied promises of Santa Anna. This was sustained by a free intercourco with Bri- tish functionaries, who were several times at his head-quarters, and professed to give him informa- tion of movements and prospects in the city of Mexico. Of these, the most prominent were Mr. Thorntorn, the Secretary of Legation, who had been Santa Anna and Mr. Bankhead, and Gen. Seott and Mr. Trist, while the two latter were at Puebla; and Mr. MeIntosh, the consul, who had been and then wes furnishing Santa Anna with money for military purpose: Motters progressed until the 5th of September, without any prospect of a treaty. Mexican obstina- cy was arrogant, and rose in proportion as Mr. Trist went down in his demands, although he went far below anything which he was authorized to offer. On the 6th, to the bitter disappointment and morti- fication of Gen. Scott, they were broken off, and he found, as he might have known, that he had been befooled and hoodwinked into an armistice; that his folly had given upall advantages which had been gained at Contreras and Churubusco, and that he had risked the cause of his country and the safety of his army upon so slender a reliance as the implied faith of a diplomatist of the wily and treacherous character of Santa anna. | The battle of Molino del Rey, the storming of Chapultepec, and the bloody conflicts of the Garitas of Belen and SanCosme, were required to atone for the error. Mexico was conquered, but 1,650 mca fell in the expiation. During the occupation of the Mexican capital by | the American army, occurred the quarrels between General Scott and his generals; and amongst other | matters which the Court of Inquiry, of which Geu Towson was president, was ordered toinvestigate, was the subject of the secret negotiations which occurred at Puebla. The Jotter of Davis had been published, and the matter became known to the authorities at Washington By order of the President, Mr. Maray addresged letters to the generals who were prosent at the meeting, calling upon them to give the go- verpment all the information which they poseeszed. They did so, and their letters were placed before the court. In regard to this matter, Mr. Trist would not appear, and the military court had no power to compel his attendance. Of course it had no power to compel the attendance of the British functionaries. General Scott answered vaguely, refused to testify upon some points, and refused to name certain individuals. He had given up his letter book, and the key to the cipher in which the correspondence had been | carried on, to Mr. Trist, and it could not be brought before the court. But he admttted the payment of the $10,000 to a friend of Santa Anna’s. The testi- mony of other officers was, in a great degree, of a second hend nature, and although conclusive as to | facts, was not strong or direct enough to warrant | proceedings. Under these circumstances, and the | outery which was then made by partizans about persecuting General Scott, it was deemed ox- pedient to drop the subject; and the proceedings of | the court in relation to this matter have never boon | made public, and very few have known that any G. J. M. Davis wrote aletter to the United | as disclosing the whole matter, and laading not, ame / vxhibit General Seots, as a diplomatist, ins strange the point of view.

BenvaMiIn F, Buren on GEN. Pierce AND Free Sorism.—If Gen. Pierce, in the election of next November, should lose his chances of the Presidency, that result will spring from such sup- porters as the Hon. Benj. F. Butler and the Even- ing Post, of this city. A portion of the democratic free soil cliqne, in this State, have very wisely aban- doned all their heresies on the subject ot anti-slavery, and come back to the national ground that is war- These eupport the platform of the Democratie Con- yention at Baltimore, which has an odor of nation- alily about it, equal in its perfume to that of the Whig Convention, adopted much about the same time. But there isa portion of the democracy of this State—of which the Evening Post isthe organ, and Benj. F. Butler one of the samples or speci- mens—which pretends te support tho democratic ticket, while they reprobate or throw away tho platform on which the candidate was nominated, the Union, of being elected to the Presidency. Benjamin F’. Butler is, however, @ man of learn- ing and intelligence, a professor of religion, and a yenvieman, as far as extreme notions in religion and other isms will let him go. He does not treat the democratic platform with the same indecency as seme of the Seward advocates and organs have done the whig platform That is to say, he does not “‘execrate and spit” upon it; but ho opposes it just as bitterly, though in a much more gentlemanly way. Now, such support offered to Gon. Pierce by Mr. Butler and the Lvening Post, without recog- — Gen. Prerox ann tax Fvertivs Stave Law—Mn. seamen of tha Sex) “nh our authorities to be incontrovertible. If they are Foss OvERBAULED.—We give in our columns, this morning, @ letter from Concord, New Hampshire, furnishing some additional testimony against the report of @ certain Mr. Foss, of the speech, last January, of Gen. Pierce, at New Boston, in refo- rence to the Fugitive Slave law. In discrediting this Mr. Foss, of whom we know nothing, and have no desiro to know a great deal, our correspondent describes him os having lately been a hard-shelled Calvinistic Baptist, from which persuasion he de- scended into the dirty work of rampant, run-mad abolitionism, as affording a larger field for his talents and ambition, and that he knows no more about reporting than Barnum’s fat girl. This may all be correct. And yet wedo not feel satisfied that thefalsity of Mr. Foss’s report has been conclusively established. True, more thana hundred respectable men, present on the occasion of the New Boston speech, say they heard nothing from Gen. Pierce against the morality or humanity of the Fugitive law, as attributed to him by Foss. But the report was made atthe time; and not having been authori- tatively denied at the time, we must conclude the remarks were substantially spoken, but that, like Gen. Seott’s letter on Canadian annexation, it was all for Buncombe with the free soilers. But, practically sound and consistent as General Pierce unquestionably is on the slavery question, this bit.of local political electioneering may be over- looked, The root of tho mischief is in the popular delusion of the North, and to some extent of the South iteelf, that slavery is a sin, an evil, a curse, and a crime. This impression in the Northorn States is universal, and hence the power of the free soilers and abolitionists in all controversies on the slavery question. Now, our view of Southern slavery is, that it is a good institution for both racos— white and black—and the only safe institution for either race, in the same community ; and that it is alike consistent with the principles of morality and humanity. When our Northern politicians shall have the moral courage to take this ground, we shall soon see a better state of things ; but as long ag the fundamental principles of a political sedition are conceded, so long will the slavery agitation con- tinue to endanger the safety of the Union. Tux New York Crysran Panace.—Under the active exertions of the association for carrying out this project, such progress has been made as pro- nizing or adopting the validity of the platform, will not only do damage to bis prospects, and materially lessen his chances of success all over the country, bat wil] prejudice him, more particularly in the South, and among the Union and conservative portion of the demoerats in this part of the country. It is be- lieved, however, by some of the hopeful friends of Gen Pierce, that he ean be electelin spite of the Avening Post, in spite of Benjamin &. Butler and his fanatical pronunciamentos, and in spite of all those obstinate men who still cling to the delusions | and folly of thinking that the Fugitive Slave law isa | sin, and that slave institutions are a terrible wieked- ness. Whether that hope may prove well founded, time and a few more State elections will enable us m more accurately. to caleulate a) EWPORT AND THE Marne Liquor Law—Ap- venvisinc Exrraorpinary.—There has been a great dronght at Newport, since the enforcemont of the Maine Liquor law in that unfortunate villags To the hundreds of visiters attracted there in pre- vious seasons, it now counts its arrivals in the sadly diminished sum total of dozeas and twenties. While Cape May is weil patronized, and Lebanon, and Sharon, and Niagara and Trenton Falls have fearcely accommodations for their guests, New- port is left high and dry by the tide and the Maine Liquorlaw. The mamber of visiters at Sarato- ga is set down by the local papers at some seven sand—the best. season they have ever had—hoveis full to overflowing; and yet, ‘* notwithstanding the crowd in all directions, all seem to be as joyful and happy” as plenty of Congress water, short com- mons, and no Maine Liquor law can make them; and t is said that, like a pretty woman, “The more they are squeezed, The better they are pleased.” But alas! for Newport, and that liquor law! Driven to the last extremity, the hotel-keepers and the editors have adopted the very last resort of ad- vertising—the advertisement of the ladies. 2Be Uist OF Lhese OXUTMU uae, ~anarticamante far custom will be found in our columns to-day. We extract it from the Newport News, and the precious document purports to have beea writes by “A Spy at the Ocean House”—a generous chap, very likely, satisfied if compensated for his trouble with a dinner of cold mutton, and no liquor. But, be that as it way, in order to give the Newporters a fair chance in this last expedient of bringing out the forlorn hope of the ladies, we have allowed them the full benefit of our splendid circulation of nearly fifty thousand daily, and fifty-two thousand weekly and Sunday, for the diffusion of their interesting adver- tisement—North, South, East, and West. How this advertisoment is to be resisted by the wife or beauty hunting bachelors and widowers of the country, we can’t imagine. Some of them are sure to be caught; and we shouldn't wonder if a considerable crowd of them were drawn to Newport by the published charms of its belles—married and single. But we remind all travellers who may re- solve to go, that they must take their liquor along with them, or get a confidential letter to George T. Downing—colored man, renowned for bis oysters— for a supply; otherwise, they will have nothing to fall back upon bat salt water. The faseinations of the Newport belles, however, ought to compensate all admirers of the sex for all the privations of the Maine Liquor law. Read the adversise- ment. There is one married lady, from Phila- de!phia, who has received more “splendid sere nades” than any other lady in the Ovean House; there is another married belle, from New York, with “a splendid figure” (only think of that) * dresses in excellent taste, and is the most gracefu dancer” there. One young lady ‘‘looks like Ma- dame Anna Thillon, and is receiving more attention than ever;”’ and another, with ber “ dark, piercing eyes and bewitching manners, has seriously da- maged many a fluttering heart,” which is agonizing to think of. Madame Anna Bishop is there, with the charming, amiable and bewitching Mr. Bochs1; and thero is one young lady who dances the polka better than any other at the hotel. But, to crown all, the youngest daughter of General Scott ia at Newport; and the “Spy” says, that “next year she will grace the White House at Washington.” Irom this we infer that she is on very intimate relations with the family of General Pierce. Read the adver- tisement. Newport is in distress. That blue light liquor law has done the work. But when the ladies come to the rescue, and their charms are adver- tised in the daily Newport newspapers—ciroula- tion three bundred and twenty-one cach day—to at- tract visiters, who can resist the appeal? They are the angels of charity, and our last refago in the hour of the world’s desertion. We must stand by them; and therefore we publish the Newport ad- vertisement, and call to it the special attention of our readers. Such splendid figuros!—such charm- ing dancers of the polka! Can the gallantry of up- per-tendom resist the appeal ! Tue Soutnern Press Gonz Down.—Tho last remnant of the Southern secession party has gono down with the Svuthern Press. It died » natural death; and Edward Fisher has now the sole consola- tion left of having wasted his time, his labor, and his money, and ail for nothing, and worse than no- thing. The concorn went down without a bidder, and with a heavy groan, which lasted from Pierco’s nomination to the day of ita death. The nomina- tion of Pierce was the end of secession, and of tho secession organ Fisher has, however, fully realized, vere ever entered upon, The above warrative contains the wholo of the ut tho matter | subject matter, and the general facts are stated by parted.” in this Quixotic enterprise, the truth of the old maxim—that ‘a fool and his money aro soon mises to it a much higher degree of success and uti- lity than has been hitherto antivipated for it. Cir- cwars have been directed to the representatives «¢ foreign countries, in New York, London and clec- where, requesting the co-operation of their respec tive governments and nations in this undertaking, and replies have been received by the President of the Association, conveying assurance of the great int erest token in this industrial scheme, and pro- wising their sympathy and support. Wo publish, elsewhere in our columns, to-day, copies of some of those replies, received from the{British, Portuguese Fiench, Austrion. and Bremen Consuls at New York and from the Turkish Ambassador at London, which convey very strong expressions of the favora dle manner in which the projected exhibition is regard- ed by their respective governments. That from the Axbaseador of the Sublime Porte assures the Asso ciation that the matter, bas met with the high ap- probation of the Sultan, and that a governineat steamer will be specially depuied to convey to Now York the contributions of the Ottoman Empire. We mny, therefore, indulge in the belief that the New York Crystal Palase Fair will be creditable to this city and republic. A great number of plans and specifications for the edifice to be ereeted for the purpose in Reservoir square, have been sent in to the committee, who will select and decide upon the most appropriate, in the course of a day ort 70. few days subsequently, the contracts for the wuing Will be entered into, and the work com- menced without delay. The fair is to be opened in the epring of 1853. BareMan anv Barnum —We have a number of letters and communications on both sides of the quarrel which has taken place between Barnum and Bateman, relative to the engagement of tho Bate- man childyen for another year, in this country. We have already published some of the correspondence between the parties, but we do not mean to encum- ber ovr columns with more of such trash, in a matter which is purely one of bargain and salo between Bateman and Rarnum Ag faras we have read tho correspondence and understand the controversy, Barnum is in the right and Bateman ia the wrong. It is simply a bargain between these two specula- tors. Barnum contends for what we believe he bas @ legal right to, and Bateman wishes to deprive him of those rights in rather an unhandsome way.
