The glori ous results and the heroic achievements of our bflVe lillle army on the Bth and 9th of last May, followed these attacks and bar barilles. The gallant acts of these two days will be remembered so long as the history at our country endures. The un equalled heroism and the feats of daring performed by our noble sons on these oc cssions add lustre to our history and re flect honor upon our arms. The charge of Col.

Why was this done by the representatives of the people? (The President did not declare war.)

These articles, sir. have been pub lished in the newspapers ol Menco. and to them, and the hopes they give to the people of that country. tnay be well ascri bed the pcrttnacity with which the Mexi— can government opposes peace.

But it was said that Mexrco was a “poor country”—— that she was not able to pay us what she owes us—that she could not raise enough to pay even what she had stipulated by treaty. Mr. President. when I hear that said, I wander that those who utter such sentiments forget that she is able to raise an army at 30.000 in one spot. and o! more than 50.000 in all. and that she is also able to equip'anil support them.

They also seized the authorities ol‘ the place. together with Mr. Henry Godet. supercargool’ the 'l‘hol mitz. Mr. Derbes, a passenger. and five of my crew, all of whom were bound to Mi. eautla.

May lS—Among the foreigners. there are those who believe that Santa Anna is only pushing on to'warde the capital to con trol the elections and help himself. by fd’rce. to the highest office; and then he will come out in favor of peace with the Uni ted Stsles. Others. and among them those that pretend to great knowledge of the country and its public men, say that Santa Anna will never give up as long as he can draw around him 3 force sufficient to make any kind of a show against ‘ los Yankees.’ he himself always taking care to be in a position where he can save his own pre cious bodv in case of a reverse.

Santa Anna was in the city distributingehoea to lriseoldi iii/f‘ that to delay the advance of the Ameriglknl he sent out a party to skirmish with them : that this party was attacked by Gen.

Such is the report. and it looks reasonable en‘eugh. Gen.
