What we asked and what Mexico was
willing to give.

The demands of Mr.. Polk, made through
Mr.. Trist, would have given to the United
States, had they been acceded to by the Mexi-
can government, an additional territory of $685.
600 square miles, or nearly one half of all the
territory which Mexico possesses or claims,
short of Texas proper-a territory larger in ex-
tent than all France, Great Britain, Austria
and Prussia taken together. 1t is true that
Mr. Trist afterwards withdrew the claim for
the Peninsula of California. This would re-
duce the Presidents demand to about CSC. 900
square miles, leaving an expanse of territory
sufficient to make nine States as large as Vir-
GINA, and eighty as large as Massachusetts.
Such being the moderate demands of Presi-
dent Polk, let us state what the Mexicans were
willing to yield.
The Mexicans proposed TO surrender to rs
strip Of continent extending, in its greatest
length, over 25 degrees of longitude, and, in
its greatest breadth, 5 degrees of latitude. 1t
would have given us east of the Rio Grande
in round numbers, 80 900 square miles. sliced
from New Mexico. and west OF the RIO Grande,
291 900 square miles OF California, containing
the bays of Monterey and San Franclsco-in
all, 1923 600 square miles, embracing upwards
of oNE-Fi the entire Mexican territory.
But this was not sufficient. The first de-
claraiion in relation to Oregon seems to be the
order of the day: "The whole or l"--

The great cause which excited the attention
Of the Synod, was that OF the "Rev. john

case involves many important constitutional
questions; and was finally referred TO the Gen

~ A young man named ROBERT BARR,
(says the Parkersburg Gazette,) was arrested in
this place, on Saturday evening last, charged with
the commission of crime in Augusta County.
The prisoner was lodged in Jail, and on Sunday
morning, was found maniac' The abruptness
of his arrest and the fright occasioned thereby,
proved too much for his mind--he was complete
ly crazed. On Monday morning, he started in
charge Of Sheriff Cook, for Staunton---a more fit
inmate for the asylum than the jail Smother
mother, mother-home, home, home.-Such
were the only and almost incoherent EXPLANATIONS
of the poor maniac ; and who, that heard, will
ever forget the poignant anguish that attended
the utterance Of these endearing words!

GENERAL ORDERS.-JNo. 2s6.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
National Palace of Mexico, Sept l6, lS47. s
The general in chief calls upon his brethren
in arms to return both in public and private
worship, thanks and gratitude to God for the
signal triumphs which they have recently
achieved for their country.
Beginning with the 10Th of August and
ending the l4lh instant, this army has gallant
ly fought its way through the fields aud forts
of Contreras, San Antonio, Churubusco, Mo
limo del Rey, Chapultepec and the gates OF
San Cosme and Tacubaya, into the capital OF
Mexico.
When the very limited numbers who have
performed those brilliant deeds shall have be-
come known, the world will be astonished and
our own countrymen filed with JOY and ad
miratlon.
But all is not yet done. The enemy, though
scattered and dismayed, has still many frag-
ments of his late army towering about US, and
aided by an exasperated population, he may
again re unite in treble our numbers and fall
upon US to advantage if we rest inactive on
the security Of past victories.
Compactness, vigilance and discipline are,
therefore, our only securities. Let every good
officer and man look to those cautions and en-
Join them upon all others.

LET JUSTICE BE DOME.

The desertion of number of men from the
American Army, and their capture and exc
cution near the city Of Mexico, have given
rise to many remarks calculated to reflect on
the patriotism of certain adopted citizens of
this country. 1t has been thought, and we
confess that this was the impression left on
our mind, that the Battalion alluded TO were
mostly from the Emerald Isle. The N. Y.
Police register contains the names and places
of nativity Of that infamous set of scamps,
from which we are sorry to learn that large
portion were Americans. They are classed
as follows-American GA; lrishmen "a; Ger
mans 10; Scotch 4 +; and one each from Eng
land, Nova Scotia, France and Poland. We
publish this account that unjust reproach may
be taken from the shoulders of those who do
not merit the censure. Let all bear their
part.-Rich. Whig.

CRY OF Mexico, Sept. IL, lS47.

The capital is now quiet enough, and al
though the inhabitants say but little they are
probably not altogether contented with their
new masters. They say that the Lord and
Santa Anna are to blame for their misiortunes
their own lack of prowess and courage is
not thought Of They say that Providence
withheld the rains and gave the Yankees fair
weather for their operations, while Santa An
ma deserted them in their extremity, and gave
up the city without ever making terms for
them. The latter has gone no one knows
whittier. Some contend that he is on his way
TO the coast, with the intention of leaving the
country; others say that he has gone towards
Quereiaro while many think that he is Turk
ing about Guadalupe or San Chrstobal, with
in few miles of this, yet with only small
force of cavalry at his command. His wife,
who has been living all the while at the house
of his particular friend Macintosh, has gone
out in the direction of San Christobal in search
of him. Santa Anna just before he left the
city grossly insulted Gen. Teres, who COM
manded at the Belan gate, for deserving his
post II is also said that he has quarrelled
with Lombardni. These are old tricks Of the
tyrant-throwing the blame upon others to
cover his own shameless conduct

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
DEMOCRACY"

We find in so leading paper as the New
York Evening Post an article from central
paper of the same politics Qhe Albany Ailas)
denouncing, with calmness but with fixed
determination, the attempts of the Adminisra-
ton in this city to dragoon the party into its
projects for overrunning and subjugaling all
Mexico, if its demands for the surrender Of
Mexican territory be not complied with. As
a sample of this article, we copy few lines
from the concluding paragraph, as follows.
Mark its grave import!
"We say to Mr.. Richie, and those who
concur with him, GO YOUR WAYS! You were
warned in time against the agltations and the
'distracting issues that your course in relation
TO the annexation Of Texas would produce.
You were implored to take Texas withota
'tpdr; you chose TO TAKE IT WITH WAR; and
if now, at this day, YOU expect the Democrs-
icy Of the North TO bear the responsibility OF
your measures, they must al least be permit
tied to protest." SC.

CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. &c, lS47.

Assassinations continue. No less than ten
murdered soldiers were found this morning in
the vicinity Of the quarter Of San Peblo. and
eight on the previous day. The fault lies
partially with our own men, who straggle
from their quarters and get intoxicated al the
first puiqueria or grog shop; We, the fact that
even in this state they are set upon by gangs
ofarmed rufhans show that feeling ofrevenge
and deep hatred obtains against US; and the
frequency of the marderJ would prove that a
regular system ofassassination has been organ
lied, the wire workers very likely some OF the
priests and leading men.
In my last stated that Col. Mcintosh was
sinking under his wounds--that brave officer
died last night, and is to be buried tomorrow
with all military honors. He fell pierced by
two balls while CALAMITY leading his men 10
attack the Casa Mata on the 9Th September,
and his system, suffering under wounds re-
ceived in former battles, was not able to over
come the shock.

MIR. Kendall sets down at 5000; another au-
thority given below makes it 1000. And yet
Gen. Scott entered the valley of Mexico with
an army only little exceeding 10000 men.
What wonders have not the "ten thousand"
achieved The Mexican accounts represent
ing that we were at any time seriously repused

niiely ascertaned, but was enormous.
Gen. Bravo was not killed, but was taken a
prisoner.--We do not see that Santa Anna
was wounded. 1t is true that he has resigned
the Presidency. We have the act before US,
but have not room for il day. Since his
resignation he has made an address to his
countrymen, which we will give tomorrow.
We annex here Gen. SCOTS order after his

Cry OF NIExrco, Sept. %, Is47

We have rumors without number from Pu
ebla to-day. One is that Santa Anna has
been killed in an encounter with Col. Childs
in the vicinity that city; another story would
make US believe that he has been taken pri-
soner, after defending himself for sometime at
the paper mill called La Consancia, in the
neighborhood of Pueba. The accounts say
thai Col Chlds was reinforced by Maj. Lally,
and that he Immediately entered the city, drove
out the guerrilleros and surrounded the mill
above named. What credit 10 place in these
rumors know not; but If Santa Anna is re-
ally a prisoner, it has been intentional--he
has given up. Ifhe has been killed, it has
been what the Mexlcans would term one cas-
uatidad, sheer accident, for no such inten-
ton ever entered his head.
As prisoner, Santa Anna knows perfectly
well tina, he can humbug Mr.. Polk with ease,
and all his friends besides. We shall know

the arrival here of the American prisoners
Capts. Clay, Heady. and Smith, Lieuis.
Churchill, Davidson and Barbour, and six
teen privates-who have recently been con6n-
ed at Toluca. 1t seems that they were releas-
ed by the Governor, Olaguibel. on his own
responsibility, they promising that the same
number of Mexican prisoners. and of equal
rank, should be delivered up to him. Those
officers who refused to give their parole when
all were ordered TO Touca, and who after
wards escaped, have performed active SER
vice here in the different battles. Major
Gaines has been serving on the staff of Gen.
Scott. Midshipman Rogers on that of Gen.
Pillow, Major Borand on that of Gen. Worth,
and Capt. Danley on that Of Gen. Quilman.
