 laiieHS of the National Palace. Sept. 23---Geueral Scott with Mir. Trist and his Stah. have removed from the Palace. to residence m moEc retired and quiet part of the city, where he is, no doubt, free from the neessant anoyances 10 which he was subject in the Palace and it is on y new, by strict guard at the door, that ths DO. pniace are prevented from haIassing him during the whole day. Every Greaseys Greass,sss, and Grsa- seyifG, that has lost horse an ass, an OK, or cow hog or chicken, Is daily seeking an opportunity 1 to seetthe Commander .in- Chief to know if they will not be remunerated for them. Some state tha, the MexicaH army destroyed their property, but as the Americans drove the Mexicans away. thev think we ought to assume all the responsihilities = They have heard so much of the iiheraIity of the Americans that they think they have nothing 10 do but to make out and present their account One fellow had the impotence. day or two since to apply tor indemnity for losses sustained during the street light, under the following circnmst ances:- 1 When the Americans entered the town, some ten l CT twelve men were posted on the top ofhis house. and were firing indisciminatey into our ranks; small detachment was sent 10 disiodge them, which could only be done by forcing the doors of the house and ascending through the interior; soon as the detachment accomplished their task and cleared all the buildings in the vicinity, they returned to the command leaving the doors of all the buildings from whence the firing proceed to be closed and re-iock ed by the propnetors. or whoever might take the trouble to do 1t; but it appeared that ss econ $ ca. troops left the negborhood the feperos entered the building and robbed it of its contents; and for this the fellow wanted to be indemnihed; as he stated, If the Americans had not entered the building in order to drive the people away who were firing from the top. il would not have been plundered The fellow informed that he might consider himself very fortunate that his head had not already looked through halter, and if the authorities took any farther notice of the case 1t would be to give him that consideration which his conduct meriied. So It IS every day-persons applying for redress of grievances who, if they had their dnes woald airea- dy have received three feet of rope. Gen. Scott being removed, Gen. Quitman occu- pies the Palace. and il has been placed under the superintendence of Capt. Nayor, according to the following regulations:

 National Palace, Mexico, Sept. 2l, lsiT.
 The grand reception room of the late President is now occupied by Gen. Quiiman as an office, as also portion of his suite of private occupied in the same manner heretofore, except that they protected by close and heavy guards. The suite of rooms which her ladyship, Don Sonora, had the homo. of filling are occupied by the Generals Staff. which, no doubt, contribute 10 render their duties more agreeable than for some weeks previous Several other rooms are occupied by different off cers of the Generals Staf, but all the troops have been removed. The only change which has been made m the building, was one Of stIictly National
 
 the reception chair of Santa Anna, which was all very well month ago, but Lieut.. Hammond find ing full length portrait of Gen. Washington in one of inc rear rooms, and thinking that as the change had been so general in the Palace, the portraits might as we'll change places also and now the DOT trait ot the Father of cur country faces the prnci pal entrance 10 the chamber, whilst his much loved stars and strips, enveloped in halo of glory, wave over the Halls of the National Palace
 Sept 2s, ls47.--Editors Delta: I send you the three first numbers of the American Star, published by Messrs, Peoples & Barnard--you will find in them the orders of Gen Scott, since our entrance into the city, as also the list of the names of the captured deserters. executed in pursuance of a tence of general court martial.
 Our prisoners, who were sent to Toluca on the approach of our army, have arrived safely iu this city. understand that they still prisoners of war, and will probably be exchanged, and that they have been sent here by the Governor of Mexi- e, on his own responsibility he rot having received the proposition for their exchange. think it aito- gether more likely that they are indebted to the in creasing and untirng exertions of Maj Gaines, for their release from confinement Those who arrived yesterday, Captains Clay, Heady, Smith, and Lieutenahts Churchill, Davidson, Barbour, and l6 priyates
 Although the city, up to the moment of writing, is quiet il could possibly be under any circuu- stance, we have daily reports of the rising of the popuiace, and the assassination of our army No doubt some such movement has been contemplated, but whether they will be able 10 bring themselves up to the "siicking point" is matter of extreme doubt can hardly believe an enemy who could not stand against in the field. will now attemptto overpower us by such means.
 The Mexican Congress does not meet until the 5th oi October, at QueTetaro. We can form no idea of what they will be able to do. The seven North ern States, which some time since formed a eoali- tion, piedging themselves to the support of each other, in opposition to negotiations for peace. have held a meeting ot delegates, who have denounced Santa Anna in strong terms--bsve declared him an outlaw and traitor, and at the same time have 5000 men, armed and equipped, for the further pros ecuiion of the war. Geas. Paredes and Bustanente have been appointed to the command.
 The last reliable information we have had Of the whereabouts of Santa Anna, is. that he was few h.fi
