WASHINGTON, Sept 10, ls47
The intercepted despatehes-The foreign 5ataiion'
The Wiimot Propiso.
1t is extremely questionable IL any instructions have
issued to Mr. Trs materially changing the terms
tanned in the treaty which he brought out per-
suaded 1t will be found eventually that the treaty which
drawn up here is the he has submitted without
alteration to the Mexican commissioners and that the
intercepted dispatches If they have been intercepted
which is not at all improbable will be found to contain
instructions to Mr. Trst to make any essential med
hcatens in the terms Of the treaty.
In one of Mr.. Kendas letters from Tacubays, II is
stated that Mr. Trist entertained strong hopes of sue
cessfu issue to the negotiation His letter expresses
opinion From the incident related Of the stonng Of
wagoners from when entering the city 1t would
appear that the hostility of the popuace is unabated
1t must be matter Of bitter modification to every
adopted citizen that many should be found srrayed
against the country of the adoption in the ranks of the
enemy but 1t would be unjust that the obloquy merted
by few unprincipled men, should attach to all their in
necent countrymen. battalion Of foreigners,
mostly rishmen aserters from tho American army was
captured at Churubusco, and those who composed IT,
were at the last accounts trial before martial
but right they should pay the penalty of their crime
they have dssaced alike the country OF their birth
and the country Of their adoption And yet 1t be
said that if this against England instead Of
Mexico rshman would be found in the ranks OF the
| enemy Nor while condemning their treachery should
the bravery and devotion Of their countrymen, in the
ranks Of army be forgotten. General Shields hsn
whom in the better Of this country
is an lrishman General Patterson believe is another,
and in the ranks there are thousands.
Santa Annals defence Of himself and elimination Of
Valencia most lame and impotent. To the most un
initiated In the art Of 1t be clear that had Va
lenoia been reinforced and supported no would have
made better fight
perceive that Cincinnati paper gives authorised
contradiction to the staten that Mr. Cttenden Is In
possession Of letter from Gen Taylor, expressing his
Gen Tayors decided approval Of the Wimot Proviso.
This settles the question far Mr. Crttenden Is
cerned and yet there must be strange mistake
somewhere It has been confidently asserted by men
veracty in this CITY, that such letter
is in existence They have been deceived by for
gerry a direct alsehood else there such letter
though not addressed to Mr. Crittenden If such let
ter exists person whom s addressed should a.
| once publish it.
| The statement that Mr. Wright opposed to tn .
doctrine of the Wimot Proviso is incorrect although IL
is well known he did not approve Of its incorporation In
peace bill In the mode In which IL pressed by Mr.
Wmo But II is needless to say that he could not have
approved the taken by his professcd friends In
the sacrifice Of the best interests Of the country Mr.
Wright factionist while those who for selfish
purposes arrayed themselves under the shelter Of his
great name, nought but miserable oabal.
