LET JUSTICE DE DoNE The desertion of
number Of men from the American army, and their
capturean execution near the city of Mexico, have
given rise to many remarks calculated to reflect on
the patriotism Of certain adopted citizens Of this
country 1t has been thought, and we confess that
this was the impression left on our minds, that the
battalion alluded to were mostly from the Emerald
Isle. The New Fork Police Gazette contains the
and places of nativity of that Infamous set Of
scamps, from which we are sorry to learn that a
large portion were Americans They classed
as follows: Americans 81, Irishmen 81, Germans
&c. Scotch A, and one each from England, Nova

count that unjust reproach may be taken from the
