whether il be in accordance with his In

manner oppused alike TO international law
and tho received images among civilized
nations. The day before yesterday the
answer which tie said Taylor gave TO thi'
question arrived, and although we lave

GEN. WoRTH AND THE ARcnDsKoP -
Extract of a letter from Pueba, publish
ed in El Monilor Republicano, June S
~-'4ou must suppose that the North
Americans know as well as yourself on
which side TO attack the populace, and
there is not one who does not understand
that they have entered the modern Zion.
For THIS reason, in all their writings, the
first thing they talk Of is religion, The re-
spect due to the ministers of the altar,
&C.; and for this reason ii as that Worth
the day following his entrance, dressed
himself in a grand uniform, aud, accom-
panied by his staff, went 10 visit our il.
lustrious prelate. The conversation turn
ed, as was to be expected from the acute
old Yankee, upon the law of mortmaia;he
spoke Of The impolicy Of that disposition,
which he designated by the epithets Of
'barbarous, unjust, 'injurious TO relig-
jon,' as we ourselves do.
This softened the heart Of our bishop,
who was highly satisfied with the religion
1f thc af,ranniJ VapLa,. and mara he
Immediately returned the visit, and did
other things Of which lshail speak here
after, Not conteut with this, Worth gave
orders that all his soldiers shoulo pay bon,
ors to the clergy; and thus it is ttat we
see the crowd Of drunkards that nfest us
pay d respect TO the priesthood which they
refuse TO their own officers. More YET;
even yesterday saw, with The greatest
surprise, a general, with an extremely
proud beafing, yield the path and sweep
the ground with his cap to a musician ef
the cathedral, merely because lie was
dressed id black
GEN. ScoTT,-l From the same letter.
My letter has been delay ed to this, the
3lst, and use the opportunity to add.
that on Friday last Scott entered with
some force, and although know not posi-
lively the number Of men which he
brought, il appears indubitable that it
does not reach 1000. Scott is as great
hypocrite as Worth, ifnot greater; since,
dhe day following lie visited the cathe-
dral, and spoke the same language as the
other about the respeo; duo to the clergy,
but his soldiers were not asweIl instructed )
as those who came with Worth. &c.
PEACE OR WAR; The following is the
conclusion of long and able article in
FL Rozanador of June L. with all this
uncertainty and folly, all the contending
parties, directed by laujable but blind
and unfruitful sentiment, frantically cry
for war, and the word Peace maddens
them as did the instrument of Timotheus
the great Alexander. Peace, they say, is
not possible; but how will war be possible
W ithout plan. without concert, and with
time wasted in useless quarrsls! As il
was with the Italians Of the Middle Ages,
except that we destroy, or desire to.de.
Atroy each other, our enemies TRANQUILITY
take. possession OF our cities, and no ore
molests or opposes them. Shall We give
TO this the name Of war! A peace, they
repeat, will cover us with opprobrum;and
war only in name--with what win that
cover u.s. An desire to fall with glory
yet none move TO seek death.
sIIad such been from the beginning out
resolution, were it even such to-day, not
q single Yankee would now tread our ter.
ritory, and we should not be presenting
TO the world scandalous spectacle, ex-
posing our inertness, our Indifference and
our intermipa Bile fagfarrondes. We have
