LETTERS OF HERSAsDo CoRrEs.-Messrs. WI
lev & Putnam have this day published transla-
tom of the letters of the Conqueror Of Mexico, BY
George Folsom, Esq, of this city. We are sur
prised that an English translation of the authentic
narrative of one of the most romantic events IN
American History has never before appeared, and
we are sure that this volume, rejecting so much
credit ON the translator and the publishers, will be
sought after by every lover of History. These
letters or dispatches were written by the C.nqueror
himself from the scenes of his exploits, and ad
dressed to the Emperor Charles With. He describes
the cities the inhabitants, the splendor of the build
| ings, and the romantic adventures of handful
of Spaniards who, burning their ships and cutting
off their means of escape, attempted the conquest
| OF mighty Empire The narrative of the final
capture of the great city of Temixtitan (NIexlco)
after siege OF seventy-ive days, is most exciting,
and the bearing of the young king Guautlmucln,
when captured and brought before the Conqueror,
is worthy of the best days of Greece and Rome; ;
approaching Cortes, and laying his hand on
poniard which he wore, he told him to strike HIM
to the heart-adding g that he had done all that
was incumbent on him in defence of himself and
his people, until he was reduced to his present
condition.
We hardly need to add that the translation is
perfectly accurate and preserves the true sprlt OF
the orgnal-the translator, as is well KNOWN
being much interested and will read IN every
thing which appertains to American History.
