LATER FROM GEN. SCOTT S ARMY.
It was no. until yesterday morning that we
were placed in possession OF the following let
tiers received here on Tuesday by the Mary
Kingsland. twill be seen that MIR. Kendalfs
letter is later than any thing hitherto received
from jalapa, while the letter from Vera Cruz
gives more definite account OF the occurren-
ess near that city reported in our last upon
verbal authority.
The most interesting passage in Mr. Ken
9alFs letter is that announcing that Majors
BOrland and Gaines, Capt. Clay and the other
officers taken in the North, together with Pas'
sed Midshipman Rogers, are at liberty IN the
city of Mexico. The next step is to lnsis'
upon the immediate release OF the men VINO
were taken with Major Came.
MIR. KendalIs remarks upon peace party
in Mexico will attract attention. He has IA
ciIities for forming an opinion on the subgec
which the newspapers do not afford US. Were
we to rely upon the latter alone we shoulc
form Judgment very different from our asso
ciate, but we do not doubt at all but that h
has access to sources of information far bette
than our own.
