The ''New York Sun" OF yesterday morning contains
letter from the city of Mexico, of the 3lst May. 1t
that the heads of the church, including the leading
bishops from the beginning opposed to the war;
but that great fear OF the military power still PREVAILS
that Santa Anna bears the curse of the Mexican ma
ton--it will pursue him to his death. He has lied to-
and betrayed his credulous country cruelty When he
arrived here from Puebla, but few days ago-and he
in hot hastehe leperos OF the city pelted him with
stones and he only escaped from death through the as
sstance of the military and police to the national palace
His power is gone-hs army broken upand henceforh
the friends OF peace the clergy, merchants and planters,
may save the nation. The fertilization of the city is
abandoned. Only the rabbe in favor OF such
a move, which would have devoted beautiful
fabrics to ruin" The writer says, that " as General
Scott approaches-and we expect him every moment
a thousand tumults and rumors taking place.
First, Gen. Scott is reported dead-then his army dis
perael,hen the victory of some Mexicans somewhere
and when all these end like Santa Annals des
spatch from Buena Vista, or the Mexican story of the
United States wings and democrats fighting bloody
battle at Washingon-pure lies then the rabble howl.
All is horrible confusion The foreigners and wealthy
citizens flying the interior, carrying of everything
valuable. Some bury their in the ground and
walls, to keep II from robbers. The city Is literally strip
ped of all its wealth, goods, money, plate, &c. The
stores in all streets closed more than half the
time. Even now, the Polkas and Puros fighting in
the streets ike savage wolves and every business is
suspended. We cannot survive long thus pray God,
before Mexico is seannihated, Gen Scott may arrive
and give Every good man lifts up both hands
to welcome the American army. When that arrives, we
shall be rid of tyrants and have peace Peace for
which the better Mexicans pray. We have no govern
ment, no means, and desire for defence Our defence
is to be rid of our military oppressors. Not
will be pointed from this city towards Gen. Scott
no! for there to point! God hasten Gen. Scott
to US We look to him now for protection. We have
read the address he divulged at Vera Cruz and know
that property and religion will be respected Our
own Congress has no longer quorum influence"

We have the pleasure of laying before readers the
report made to the War Department by the Board OF Visit
which assembled at West Point the nth instant,
and adjourned on the 18TH This expose will be partcu
larry acceptable to the country at time when state OF

and distinction. Every is curious to understand
better the character of the academy the of its in
strucon, and the improvements of which it is suscept

cultivated at West Point, there is more striking
than the corps of flying artillery which an intelligent OBJ
server exhibited there during the late examination,
and which excited his wamest admiration for the prompt
ness and precision of their evoutions.

The philadelphia Inquirer renders but partial act of
Justice to the administration 1t is true, it notices the
statement which we made from the highest official
sources large renforcemens being destined to recruit
the forces OF Generals Scott and Taylor and in this
spect has shown meritorous disposition TO correct
any errors into which it may have been betrayed,
and is far more Just than the "New York Courier
and the philadelphia American" which stated the
charges though without repubshng the official ref
utaton. But the Enquirer metes out its justice
100 sparingy. Whilst admitting that General Scott
may be reinforced, contends that he was not
reinforced at the critical moment when he about
making forward movement to the capital. We
beg leave to call its attention to two very material facts
which it pretermits first, that if Congress had pro-
ceeded with as much prompude as the public service
required to raise the regiments for during the
which the Executive had recommended these recruits
would have been in situation, only supply the
place of the tweve-monts men, but to strengthen him
with much larger force; and, secondly, that General
Scott had discharged his twelve volunteers before
their time had expired at which period their places would
have been supplied by the renfotcements.
