We are not exactly in the confidence of the Whig leaders, so as to be enabled to speak authoritatively of their ultimate designs upon the point in question; but from what we know of ti-em, and have heard of General 'l'aylor, we hesi tate not to say that the itnags are not going to make a President of him; and for several reasons. They cap easily, accommodate themselves to the circumstance of his being a southern man; or mil anti•badt man; or a free trade man; or a slave' holder; or a supporter of the present war; or in short, to fitly other circumstance or principle op posed to v.l:at they have been professing to con tend for—provided they can keep the matter qui. et; and no; let the mass of the people know his real sentiments. To effect this, he has recently been:written - to, and expressly told that the writers do not wish him to make any revelations for the public eye. But General Taylor is not to be caught in this manner, or we have mistaken all his former career. lie has never, so far as we can learn, obtruded his political opinions upon any lone ; nor has he withheld them •when they were called for. Wedhink he has shown too much of the plain honest frankness of the soldier, to become a political trickster, merely for the gratification of the Whigs. They will be deceived in him, if this is their calculation.

On the 29th ult., at 10 o'clock, A. M., the Mexican army, numbering about five thousand men, march. ed out of the city and staked 'their arms on a plain one naile south of it, on which we .are -tiow 'encamped. As their troops were marching . • out 'of one gate, ours were entering at an other. The; city: differs widely in appearance from any I .have ever seen. Public and private; businessis conducted in the most expensive display. The streets are a good width and newly paved; the aide walks are laid with a hard cement. Taking it alto - gether it is rather a pleasant place; and the only circumstance I can see,_as the. cause of so much sickness, is the well enclosing it, preventing a free circulation of air, and the very culpable ne- glect of; cleaning the streets. Many of the build. lags bear indubitable evideuceof the effects.oLsbell and shot. On last Saturday, I visited the castle,. and was much disappointed in the construction of its batteries. I expected to have found all the guns in such a position as to have those who manned them under cover; instead of that, all their heavy guns, those so mach dreaded by the i Navy, are entirely exposed. I don't profess to be en adept in`sock:Mattors—neither have I heard, the opinion of theiCavy officers on the subject; but I beliete ilnit.ihAdThey known the facts of the ease as, well befortilic surrender as they now do, they would have tti least attempted taking it. The ma terials Of which - tbe. principal walls are construct ed, are brick and coral. -I will nut undertake to i give you a minute description of it this time, but f,vill take it for granted that our friends will be perfectly satisfied with nur success, in hitting pos. session of the city of Vera Cruz and that impreg nable castle.. . . But I will carry you to a matter that is interest ing to us all at this time, to wit Is the official repurt'of the Conmander-in.Chief, not a word is said about the doings of the Infantry, either offi cers or men:, but every thing, according to the' official report, was achieved by the Artillery, the Onarrer Master in Chief, and Gen. Scott's Aids.— . Ab I I forgot to mention that Surgeon General Lawson was one of the glorified: 'I suppose like the rest, from rank and-position—his rank being tar above the sick, and his position tar array from danger. It shows a great want of military hones ty, when men who were never out of danger, and actively engagad night and day in bringing to terms our mammon enemy, ale displaced in the official report by the Aids of General Winfield Scott, who never accomplished any thing part of their Il t hi:e Tears, whilst the volunteers w?re in the sand bills and trenches. It is 'well known here that our Regiment was more actively engs- . gel and more eiposed than any other ; but we had no wish to get a preference over others ; all we ex-' pected was to have jostler meted out to us with. others. Our Regiment never complained, no mat-. ter how much they had to encounter, either in la. , hoc or danger. It was, therefore, mortifying in' the the extreme, to see a few Aids and the Surgeon General so highly complimented, at the expense of those who twice the bartlien and beat of the day. On the d ty %she:, we were all on the line shove the city, Lieut. Col Dickinson of the `oath Caro lira Regiment was sescrety wounded, and some of the men killed. hut not a word 231 d shunt litin or the Regiment in the report. And our min 121.gi..1 meet, had no rest far fourteen day., but you at how could never tell that we had been here, it! you hod nothing to direst you but the report shout' the :%lajor General, Aids and Surgeon General Lawson. I w ill give ','ms. a brief sketch of what some ofi oar ofiieenl endured, and wilt select the case of our mutual friend Luna Black,--who, by the by, I had excellent heath all the time, was out six nights, without being once in his tent, and whet, the ball,H and shells 'were flying tater and around us in the , reaches, the valiant Col.

You know, at home he had the char .never of a very hasty and passionate man; arid! wl•hoat fen: of contradiction, I may say he has, not he teen in a passion here, except on the first day, and brit was occasioned by one of the bout , Care and era start:n:4 to run. when we were tired on trout a cliappatal.

Since her depart ure there had been a further decline, and the rrir kets had become flat. The number of sales bad become less, and speculatdrs were riot operating.

After transacting some business with his private secre tary,. and despatching a note. to invite some officers in a French ship-of-war just come into port, to duncheoh-at government house, he- rode-down to the - mail office to meet his - letters, and a boX con; taining a picture of a much beloved sister recently , deceased in England. He had stated to more than I one person that his desire to see the picture wis I not unmixed with, fear as to the effect the sight of it might produce upon him. - So strongly. had-this apprehension fastened itself upon 'hisl mind, that, on the arrival of the box akgovernment house, he sent a servant in quest of 3 friend who might be with him when the box was-opened. Having fail- ed in finding him, he proceeded to Open the box. His butler, who was present, reports that he looked at the countenance earnestly, turned pale, whisper., ell a few words to himself, Walked-hastily up to his own room, was heard almost instantly to fall as he entered it, and his servants - following up stairs,, , found him, stretched on the floor a corpse. - The St. Christopher Gazette, as well as many! other public andlarivate commnnications, bear the strongest testimony to,the ability, vigor,hnd high, moral character of this gentleman; and the tender , ness and' munificence with which, at all times, and I especially under a reckn heavy visitation of is-, I land fever, he had ministered to the wants-and sor rows of the negro population. The houses of. as sembly met immediately after his death, arid passed a unanimous vote for a funeral al the public ex pense, to testify at once their respect for his official rank, and the high esteem in which he was held by all classes of the community. _On the , next, day he was followed to the grave by all the public authorities, the members of the two houses, the i most distinguished persons in the colony, and_ by thousands of grateful and mourning negroes, to, whose welfare lie had largely contributed.
