From Tie National Isteliigencer.
Gen. Teylor.

We have received from DIR. Bronson, the
gentleman TO whom it was addressed, a copy
Of the following letter from Gen. TAYLOR,
with a request for its insertion, in the Intel
ligencer--a request which we cheerfuilv
and readily comply with:--
HEAp-QuARTERs Army OF 0ccuPATIoN, D
Camp near Monterey, Aug. 10, IS47.
Sir:--Your letter of the 18th ult., request
ing of me an exposition of my views on the
questions of national policy now al issue be-
tween the political parties Of the United
States, has duly reached me.
must take occasion to say, that many of
my letters, addressed to gentlemen in the
United States, in answerto similar inquiries,
have already been made public; and | had
greatly hoped that all persons interested had,
by this time, obtained from them a sufficient
Nv accurate knowledge of my views and de-
sires in relation to this subject. As it APP
pears, however, that such is not the case,
deem it proper, in reply to your letter, d,s-
tinctly TO repeat that l am not before the
people of The United States as candidate
for the Presidency. 1t is my great desire 10
return, at the close of this war, to the dis
charge of those professional duties, and TO
the endowment of those domestic pursuits,
from which was called at its commence
ment, and for which my taste and education
best fit me.
deem it but due to candor to state, at the
same time, that, if ] were called TO the Presi-
Dental Chair BIZ the general oofee Of The Peo-
lple. aeithoM regard 10 their political differ
eslces, | should deem it to be my duty to
ACCEPT the Office But, while freely avow
Inv attachment to the administrative policy
of our early Presidents, desire it TO be I'M
derstood that | cannot submit, even III thus
accepting it, to the exaction of any Other
pIedge as to the course should pursue, than
that of discharging It's functions to the besi
of my ability, and strictly in accordance with
the requirements of the Constitution.
/ have thus given you the Circumstance:
under which only can be induced TO accep
the high and responsible Office of Preslden
of the United States. Ineed hardly add. thai
| cannot, in any case, permit myself to bt
brought before the people exclusively by an.
of the political parties that now so unforun
ateiy divide our country, as their candidate
! for this office.
1t affords me great pleasure, in conclusion
/ fully to concur with you in your high ano
lust estimate of the virtues, both in head ane
heart, of the distinguished citizens Messrs

f[ A correspondent Of the New York
Journal of Commerce, writing from Sarato-
ga under date Of the 25tn August, says:
Sc Among the thousand visitors here, it
would be strange if there were not some
marked characters, whose very faces bear
the impress of life of strange experience.
Such person | passed ON the piazza last
evening, and meeting him repeatedly in my
walk, a companion who was leaning on my
arm, at length observed that his face indi-
Gated life of thoughtlessness, and yet there
was in his appearance an evidence of some
one great sorrow. Not more than one, |
should think continued my friend. ssThere
is always a different look on the face of a
person broken down by some pre-eminent
grief, from that expression which indicates a
life of trial. That man has been a dissipa-
ted man, a roue in every sense of the word !;
and yet see how sedately he walks now; how
appealingly he looks to every face he meets,
as if at last he had learned the necessity of
sympathy.
go You are right, said Willis joining us at
the moment, have just heard his history
from one who knows it. He is young and
yet old. His body is young, but his soul is
weighed down with years that only became
heavy in single instant of agony How
was it, Mr.. Willis! VIII yo not tell me =
sAssuredly madam. 1t is short history
He is native of Louisiana, wealthy, and of
good family. He plunged into all manner
of dissipation, from which he was rescued
by lady whom he then loved better than
his companions, and who married him. But
two year passed, and he was deeper than
before in drunkenness, gambling and all
means of destruction which New Orleans
affords. His beautiful wife was treated with
GOODNESS, contempt and final cruelty. She
pinned away under such treatment; one eve
ming, when she begged him not to leave her
bedside, for she feltthat death was near, he,
in his insanity, called her by names more OPP
probious than he had ever before used and
with an oath left her. An hour later, while
he was in the drinking room of the - Hotel,
already drunks messenger came 10 tell him
that his wife was dead. From that hour to
this he has been a sober man. He never
knew till then how well he loved her; and
now he cannot forget her, nor his last words
to her. He will remember these words in
the judgment morning!' said my compan-
ion with an earnestness that startled me-"

Seeing further resistance useless, our SOL
ders ceased firing, and on the 10th of Sep
tember. fsad day y the enemy was in pos
session Of the Mexican capital. Though
we inflicted havoc and death upon the Yam
KEGS. we suffered greatly ourselves. Many
were killed by the blowing up of the houses,
many BY the bombardment, but more by the
confusion which prevailed in the city, and
altogether we cannot count our killed,
wounded and missing since the actions COM
menced yesterday, at less than 1000, among
whom are many women and children. The
enemy confesses loss of over 1000, it is no
doubt much greater. What a calamity =
But Mexico will vet have vengeance. God
win avenge us for our sufferings. Alas that
should write this letter within sight of a
proud enemy who has succeeded BY his fe-
roeity in trampling on our capital and our
country. An enemy who only prides him
self upon shooting well with his rifle and
cannon. But thus it is-we are prostrated-
not humbled. We may be forced to silence,
bur the first moment that presents US chance
will be devoted to terrible revenge.
Santa Anna has gone with his Generals

". We have lost heroic officers and brave
men in these two days. | cannot toresee
what is to come Thousands are gathering
upon the hills and around the city, deter
mined to cut off all supplies and starve the
enemy who has so audaciously entered it,
Gen. Scott may yet find that Mexico is not
vet vanquished. He may find our lakes
bursting their barriers and filling this beau
ttiful valley to annihilate the infamous Ameri-
cans. We scarcely hope, yet do not quite
despair. Our brave Generals may recover
what is lost, and Mexico with her ten mil
lions of people, arise to sweep the invader
from the land he has desecrated. Be sure
that whatever we do in the way of submis-
sion is only for the moment. No Mexican
will respect beyond the hour that forces him
to it, any bond dictated by the sword of an
enemy My heart is too full of grief and
indignation to write more. Adieu.
