and the recorder demanded an account OF him
self which he gave as follows: ..s.
"Why, you see. Colonel. bout week ago.
old Col. Larnard, the paymasler, give me my
dimes, an asked one of my mess, Bill Jones,

said the Wings was goin' 10 run Gen. lay lor

run no how. He then said that General Scott
was the man who had planned out all our bat
ties, and told him if old Zach had been left
alone he'd had his old crooked nose smellin' the
perfumes of the halls OF the Monlezumas
months ago. Bill got mad at this, for he's an
all fred strong Scott man, and we took another
horn. Comm out of the doggery. Bill told me
I was fool, and told him he was liar. He
gave me Pao Alto lick in the head, and re
turned the compliment by n regular Monterey
sockdooger in his bread basket. He then come
the Cerro Gordo tech on my nose, which re

From the Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, August 80, lS47.

Unquestionably correspondence took
place between the Mexican Government
and Paroles, in which the latter rendered his
services in the present critical state of his
country, and which were accepted by the
former. ..
Paroles, being Mexican at heart and a
man Of honor, could no more reconcile it
with his duty to be absent from his country
when she was at war with another nation,
than Commodore Barron could when he
found the United States at war with Great
Britain The Commodore had been broken
Of his commando he had gone abroad and
been employed by foreign government
His country had gone to war with pow
eriul enemy, and at rather late day he re-
turned TO ii to offer his services in its cause.
He was tainted for his hardness by Deca-
tur' This provoked the duel which cost
the gallant Decatur his life. ~.
Paredes, II is fair TO presume, could not at
such crisis, keep away from his country.
lie rendered his services in her utmost need i,
and they were accepted. He has passed
through Vera Cruz, either without or with
the knowledge of our government, certain
ly with the knowledge of British function
aries, and gone on towards the city Of Mexi-
co. We shall probably next hear of the
place where he changed horses. No doubt
he took the route for Orizaba, where he
would make himself known and obtain am
pie means to proceed 10 the city OF Mexico.
At the Capital, if he arrived before its cap
ture by our troops, he was no doubt cor
daily met by the Government and by Santa
Anna, and put in command of wing of the
Mexican army. But could he arrive at the
Capital before its capture by Gen. Scott
That is the question! He left Vera Cruz on
the 18th instant, and could gain the city of
Mexico, If not moles,ed in four days. Gen
SCOTS divisions were to march from Pue-
bla on the 18th, sth, 9th and 10Th instant,
and would move about ten miles per day.
Of course the last Pillows division of our
army could not arrive at Mexico before the
l7th inst, allowing no battle to be fought
on the route But the probabilities, that
lighting on the route did take place; and il
SO. mos, likely Paredes reached the city Of
Mexico before it was taken, and was recei-
Veo WIN open arms by the Government
ana oy Santa Anna too. It will apprise us
oil the manner and the time of the marching
OF our troops outoi Puebla. Officers ofthe
army now mere, entertain very great fears
for the safety OF Gen. Scott and his com.
mand. 1t can scarcely be within the range
of possibilities, in my opinion, for General
Scott 10 be defeated SILL were he TO be
the reverse 10 us would be dreadful There
is no stating the consequences Of defeat a,
such a crises. Let us all hope il may no,
occur.
There is some mistake in the story head.

them come to the Warehouse Of the Pekin Tea

prices it is their own fault.
An English importer lately boosted to us that he
could make more money by sending bad Teas to the
New York market, than on good Teas. We are
resolved overthrow this fraud; and now call upon
agents in every town in the United Statesto come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company, and we pledge ourselves, that if in six
months they do not sell more Teo than the oldest
and largest dealers in the town, we will give them
