'Her mistress said that was no excuse whatever, as she might have hurried more than she did, and then the bread would have been sweet and good.

My Dear Sir: 1 Mail myself of the“ departure of the British courier to sketch you the scenes it has been my luck to wttness in the capital and its environs. The Mexicans having been beaten at all i points and in every way from the Bth‘to the 13th inst., Gen. Santa Anna lelt the‘l capital on the evening of the 13th.and took the roadilor the interior. On the 14th. In the morning. the Americans entered the city in a very quiet manner, and General Scott was already in the palace. when, on 'a sudden. the people of the low classes commenced throwing stones on the Amer ' icons lrotn the tops ol the homes. and from ‘ all the streets. whilst individuals ol 3 bet-l lter standing fired lrnm the windows and l balconies on the Yankees, who were lar llrom expecting such treatment. ‘ ‘ Gen. Scott ordered immediately pieces ofartillery to be placed in all directions. land soon swept the streets with grape-shot; ibut this provetl insuflicient to subdue the insurrection. Gen. Scott then sent a lew companies on divers points, with orders to break open every house out at which ; they shouldifire. to put to the sword those lound \tithin, and. lastly, to sack the pm i perty therein contained. This order, ‘ which was executed with great modera ltion, (thanks to the secret Instructions ol Gen. Scott!) but in some cases with stern‘ energy, soon put down the insurrection. These scenes lasted three long and sad idnys—lrom the 14th to the 16m: and I ‘ assure you we were much alarmed during‘ * the whole of the time. l All foreigners (including those imbued in other respects with prejudice towards the Americans) agree in one point—that the American army has not done the hun dredth part of the injury it had _a right to do. and which European armies would have done in similar circumstances.

Such was the panic that many of our officers say that a few lresh troope might have taken Chapultepec itself al moat without a struggle, but other than a few ahots fired at that point lromaorne of the captumd cannon, no demonstration was made. Aiter the battile was over, Gen. Scott came out accompanied by his stafl. and at so by Mr. Trist. The Mexicans atthe time were throwing shells at some of-tho wagons Gen. Worth had sent out to pick up the dead and wounded, They had pla ced a howitzer in position on Chapultepec. at the close of the action. and now seeing the enemy within reach, the cowardly wretches opened upon the ambulances and those who were gathering the bodies of their wounded and lifeless comrades.
