THE MEXICAN GENERAL VTO.
LATINO THE PAROLE.

Wetrust Gen. SCOTS very particular at.
]tention will be given to the dishonorable
proposition of Gen. Canalizo, contained
ia his address to the Mexican army, Of
ooh Mtrch, in which he says that the
troops from Puebla, and the army of the
North, will be joined by "tbose who so he
r~oicalIy defended Vera Cruz and tho Cas-
tle Of San Juan agtinst our implacable EN-.
emles." Gen. Canalizo was certainly a.
ware that the valiant defenders of Vera
Cruz were dismissed on parole. As sol.
der, his deliberate sanction ola violation.
ola pledge, regarded by every soldier as
sacred, will no doubt suggest TO General
Scott the necessity ofinquiring into the fact
whether our liberality has been abused,
and the obligations Of mi itary honor and
law disregarded, by the subsequent employ
ment ofthe prisoners of Vera Cruz in the
service ofthe enemy. Should any of the
Mexicans be discovered thus violating
their honorable obligations, we trust Gen.
Scott win deal with them sunmarily. Gen.
Canalizo, who has been able, by virtue of
very large moustachios, a very ~fsrocious
look, and very loud talking, to acquire
military consequences among the
Mexieans, 50 that he is familiarity known
