country. Ibe -rcol.less politicians oho have set
themselves up as ti,e leaders of the federal party,;
have declared a thousand times that the war with
Mexico - was planned and brought about by the!
Executive. in violation of the. Constitution, forthe
purpose of plundering the Mexicans of their nod,'
and extending, the institution of slavery. BUt,
Gen. Scott should be good authority with oppo
sition. Let our Whig friends read y. hat he says
above—read it .to their neighbors—read it to evert
man who falsely charges the President with being
the author of the war .with Mexico,. Gem .`....cott
is a man of unimpeachable veracity—from his po
sition, he knoW's as much about the history of the
war as any man in the nation. The whiga dire
not take issue with him on the above declaration.

a President out of General Taylor, wbo is a south•

of, low dirties. (Tariff of '4G.)—owiiing, it is said.
200 slaves—opposed to a Isiational Batik, and ill
tavor of the Wail Who will tell sill •
The Clarion county Democrat propounds these
questions. 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.

Letter from the First sa. Regiment
Corplifieturniz ozr, near Yen Cruz,
April gal, 1847. 5
.DEAII
Before leavingToiJalapa,-whiCh be.in 3or
leasing '
f or
4 Jays I will giveyou'll few items in addition to
that in my formit letter, relative to the taking of
this plate, whichlefio doubt one of the greatest
victories ever achieved by ari'AmeriCanarnii. 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. Wilt, Ul,yays at his post,
cheering on his ,s ea ---nry brave fellow soldiers ot
is our countrys bonor, it is o u r country's I'l g tits;
hurry try brav e fellows." 1 think you never saw
a greater change in any man than is apparent in,
Col. Black. 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. The. Col. brought him back
in a harry, and was w;thin a hair's breadth of
bringing him witllolll II head. It Was very evt lent
from tic motions of the Colonel's Ewen!, if the,

the two Pittsburgh companies, because 1 had it
greater interest in their d`emeanor than 1 had in

the experience those two companies have had,
they would come oil' a well contested tield with
as -much honor, as did a majaiity of our brother
volunteers at ['arena Vista In this letter I have
the sentiments of morn of Gen. Il r i3Ocir/ Scot's
army than sumo folks imagine. Tau know I make
no-pretensions at all to accuracy in writing ; you
must therefore judge of the propriety of letting
my friends see those crudities put together by my
pea. Herron, I)etiny, Hague, Porter, Hamilton

nia had a downward te r envy. 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.
The prominent cause for Nis, was owing to the
stringent measures adopted bilithe Bank of Dig
land, an increase in the rate of interest„and - the
refusal to indorse bills of the first houses in E4d,
which were said to be engaged 'in specirtating in
and shipping, gold to the United States:
This movement hus had a'powerful'effect up l on
the manufacturing portions of England, and the
Cotton market has suffered in consequence.
The prices of American Cotton had declined,
from the IGth to the 22d ultimo, 'd to id. sy 11b.
Egyptian and Surat to id., and . et the close of
the week ending on the 2Ptb, a further reduction
followed of i t0.+.1. on Ainerican and all other de-
scriptions. .
On the following day, !better accounts were ie.
ceived from London respecting the state of the
money market, which gave an improved tone to,
_that of Cottontat Liverpool; and the sales of that
date amounted to about 7000 bales of Ameri4n,
at an advance'of to which,. owing to some
speculation yesterday, declined to about 1000 bales,-
at the currency of Saturday, and the market Was
free of speculation.

The eon:in:led arriv,al3 of grain. flour, proviiions •
from this country?, for the sufferers in Scot
land an! Ireland, wastthe universal theme of eu—
logy in barh countries; and was exciting the ex
pression of generous sympathy in England.
The money market, during the last quarter] had
coutinned, withmit interruption, to maintain a ten
: dency to .great depression. Bullion was continu•
ally disappearing with great rapidity.
The Directors of the Dank of England had be,
I come more stringent than me: upon the face of
ti icir trarnactions; thougli they have mode no pub•
lie alteration in their terms of discount. •
They have, however,done that which has!oper.-
ated on mercantile business with much more sev
erity. They have actually declined to tlisconnt st
all: white the Brokers are charging Gi (al 7 per
cent. for bilie rustling till July
The effect of this state of things has been, al
most to put a stop to business transactions of any
inagnituc'e. During the last few (lays, hoWever,
the Bank has discounted more freely.
Consols have rallied a little. This improved
fec!iini has been strengthened by en announcement
that the Russian government had resolved !to in
vest upwards of .£2,000,00 sterling of its gold in
the English funds.
Still the severity of the pressure is only pailially
relieved; and it is evident that, for some tine to
come, we can only expect a very stringent ;condi
tion of the money market, and a high rata !of in
(crest.
To-day, the effect of the investment of 'Russian
gold has been counteracted by the receipt !of ad
vices frorn the Continent, ,which have'had the
ef
fect of raising the prices of grain prodigiotisly.
The trilling ,stagnation of 'trade in theimanui

LATEST FROM MEXICO.
PIIILAD,ELNIIA, May 17, 0 o'clock,
Dy the steamer J. L. Day, which arrived 'at New
Orleans frAt Vera Cruz, we have later dates from
the Army under Gen. Scott.
The Picayune learns verbally that an exprcee
reached Vera Cruz, bringing information that a
deputation from the Capital visited Gen. ScOtt, a:od
requested lim to take the city under his protection.
This news appears to be almost incrediblej
The citizens of the Capital greatly fered the
banditti, in case of an attack on the city by the
American army: and a Guctella warfare, it :was
' supposedovould be quite as dangerous to the Max
lean citizens as to the American soldiers.
The impression appears to be gaining ground,
that there will be no more fighting.
It is doubted whether the Capital would be de-
The Mexican papers continue their strictures
upon the mission of Attocha.
Santa Anna is reported to have gone south from
Orazaba, to recruit his ranks at Osjaca. !He has
not shown himself at the Capital since his defeat
at Cerro Gordo. It is thought, however, that he
is projecting an attack upon our wagon trains.
It was the intention of Gen. Scott, uport the ar
rival of the wagon trains from Vera Cruz, to move
forward with all possible despatch, and tO depend
upon the country through which he passed) for sup
plies.
It is supposed that it was the determinhtion of
the twelvemonths' volunteers not to re-ehlist for
a longer period, which would seriously retard the :
progress of Gen. Scott, unless the supposed surren•
der of the Capital proves true.

A SINGULAR AND LAMENTED DEATH!
' The sudden and affecting death of CHARLES
THORNTON CUNNINGHAM, Esq., lieutenant
!governor of St: Christopher's and -the Leewhid
Islands, is announced in thelVest Indiapapers. It
appears that this ,gentleman bad just driven' in
from the:country to Basselturn, the seat of govern.
rnent, in:apparently vigorous - health arid cheerful i
spirits;to-open the houses of legislature. 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. The
late lieutenant governor was theson of the Rev. J.
W. CunninghatiOhe eloquent and distinguished]
Vicar of Hanon on the Hill;near London, and son
in-law of , Dr. Heap, who has long represented his]
country at Tunis, in Barbary. He assumed the
government of St. Kitts in 1839, and fell a victim.
as his physician states, partly 0 to the exhausting
influence of tropiCal climates on the nervous pow
ers," and partly to intensity of brotherly-affection,
in the 3Gth year of his age. ' .
