The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1847-10-04
The NIeuaican News.

We crowd out many pinted articles, communications
and editorials, to make room for the which has
poured in upon us from Mexico We lay before our read
the documents published by the Mexican government
on the negotiation Most of them originally translated
and the carefully revised and corrected for the Union
The pyoet of the treaty submitted by Mr. Trst appears
in the original language OF Secretary of State, with
three variations only, which have noticed in the
OF the documents themselves Thus, it has the ad.
vantage Of speaking for itself, without passing through
double ranslatonfrst into the Spanish and then back
again into the English.
81 The news about the movements of our army is oh.
tanned from two sources--lst from the Mexican pa
pers, and 2dy from letters received by the departments
at Washington from their correspondents at Vera Cruz,
in the squadron. Most of what have copied from
the New Orleans papers is derived from Mexican chan
nes II is suspicious, extravaganza word, not to be
trusted We attach little credit the about the
loss of gallant generals and of the great number OF
troops According to the Mexican version, single bomb
shell, fired from the palace of Chapulepec destroyed
Americans and General Worth-as if so much powder,
many men, and distinguished general had been
collected in place. We cannot repress fears that
some valuable lives lost from the Sth to the 10TH
the day when troops entered the capital but
not believe in the extravagant statements of the Mex
about the extent Of our loss We cannot believe that
anything very serious has happened to Worth, Smith,
or Pillow for the letters which have reached Washing
ton directly from Vera Cruz silent upon the subject We
know who their authors. We know that they
from officers whose character for TRUTH intelligence, and
caution is thoroughly established They say nothing about
the wounds OF Worth the deaths OF the other generals
And yet is it to be believed that if they reposed any conf
dence in these reports, they would not have noticed the
On the contrary, they against believing the ia
bes OF the Vera Cruz Iris, the rumors aoat One of
the bestnfomed officers in Vera Cruz says that 'no
aence whatever can be given to in hundred OF these
reports" We think, therefore, safe in advising
friends everywhere against INDUCING much ankle
ty about their friends in the camp
We laid before our readers, Saturday night all the
letters which had been then received in Washington
Others have since to hand which we hasten to lay
before them So far as they go, have doubt they
may be relied on. So far they silent about inter-
estng matters indicates disbelief in their occurrence
We regard most of these rumors with great disrust
trustworthy sources, received at WASH
ngton.
