GENERAL TAYLOR.

1t has been understood here, and we ourselves
were under the impression, that the Executive was
dissatisfied with the conduct of Gen. TAYLOR in
regard to the terms of capitulation and the truce
which he granted to the Mexican General at Mon.
terey. We are glad, therefore, TO perceive by the
annexed extract from the Richmond Enquirer
which we presume reflects the sentiments of the
President-that the conduct of Gen. TAYLOR, in
the matter referred to, was not disapproved by the
Administration.
FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER YESTERDAY.
Gen. Taylor has been blamed by few for consenng to q
captulation at Monterey lenient and favorable the
Mexicans. Some of the Wing papers have assaed the

from Washington, and hope thereby throw odum upor

that he acted under the highest motives Of duty and
policy. He bad lost many brave spirits in the diferen

In addition to this General Taylor himself under the
impression that Santa Anna being restored power the

when recoect that Worth, Jefferson Davis and Governor
Henderson, specimens Of pure chvy and courage
