VIEWS OF GENERAL LA VEGA
~ JALAPA, Mexico. May IL, ls37.
Inc evening ofthe day upon which last wrote you
with their respective stats in this city e., route for Pc
rote as prisoners Of war You will recoect that these
Mexican officers taken the 18th of April at the
battle OF Cerro Gofdo and unlike the residue OF their
brother oicers who prisoners refused to accept
their parole They were accordingly sent forward to
Vera Cruz with the privilege Of dstermininr on reach
ing that point whether they would go to the United
states as prisoners OF war, remain in the Castle of
San Juan.
Yesterday morning was in the company Of La Vega
about an hour and whatever others may think, he Is
have peace and he males disguise whatever of his
own feelings that far his influence or voice can 90
the United states never shall have peace with Mexico
80 long as the Americans have hostile foot this side of
the Nucces lie remarked what was very true that thus
Tar the war had been felt far sensby by tho nva
ders than by the invaded that in it had prov
ed great relief to their nation by the expenditure and
diffusion OF millions Of money among them, while they
had elevated their national character for proves in the
estimation Of the civilized world. Mr. Trist the quasi
Minister Pnipoienfia'y from the United States spent
accomplished anything that would have the slightest
tendency to advance TIC objectof his mission.
The reasons assigned by La Vega for not going to the
United States these First he greatly questioned
whether his government would provide himself and
pAnions in durance vile with the sufficient
bic them to live As they consider they should live in New
Orleans; and secondly, he In hopes that IL any
change OF Rogers OF the navy, effected he would
where he could at rejou the Mexican forces and
again take up arms against also learnt from sat
sfactory source that the controlling motive that actu
aed him in refusing to accept parole when the residue
OF the Mexican prisoners of war did not much
that OF patriotism but the contrary desire to
his property from the grasp Of his own government
that If he accepted his liberation upon parole Of honor
and should notwithstanding, refuse to head army
again in defence OF his country against forces his
government would make 1t excuse to eouhscate his
extensive property and thus throw him pennies upon
the world.n
