LETTER FROM MAJOR G.aLNES.
gCrrroF MExloo, June 26

$1,000 Cur OF MExaco, June;26
Dear Sir. am very sorry that / have il not in
INV power to advise you Of our release from bond.
age. This execrable Government in violation Of re-
peated promises and solemn engagement entered
into with General Taylor the day after the battle Of
Buena Vista still detains US as prisoners Of wat.
On the Sd inst, received note from the Cow
eminent to present myself at the Castle Of Santiago,
and there receive the final determination Of the au-
thorilies in our case. Atths Castle we were nfor-
med that we were exchanged, and that we ,hould
depart the next day for Tampco--he officers only,
without the men--and were directed TO 90 10 the
palace, receive instructions, expense money, &c
preparatory to our departure. Az the palace were
told to cali the next day, and on the next day we
were informed that they were without means to send
us and that we could not go. This disappointment
was the more CALLING because the reason assigned
was known TO be mere subterfuge, and it turned
out that four days afterwards men, one hundred
and seventy in number, were sent off to the same
place without our knowledge, which required much
larger sum than it would have required 10 send the
officers. , 5lsge Ia .--d n
Since that time (the 4lh) have heard nothing
from this internal Government, if Government il
may bs called, but to-day have received an assur-
rance from General Scott that Immediately upon his
arrival in the vicinity Of the city, which will surely
be within twelve days. he will make a peremptory
demand for US. ,ciH be complied ,oith, as Think.
You may therefore look for me early in August
Gen. Scott we are assured has made every effort
TO procure our enlargement but to no purpose. His
sPproach 70 this city will certainly take place in
very few days. His measures preparatory TO moving
are all taken, and preparations nearly complete. He
comes with force sufcentto accomplish his object
ef1sotually. sax sTs2asuc ,,5safao' 2tF
III I have now the most positive information Of Gen
scot,'s readiness move on this capital within the
next three Or four days. He will have an easy con-
! My intercourse with Gen. Worth is frequent BY
his generous conduct towards me, he has endeared
himself TO me for life. ,. yis9 Al @aa

Gently returned from California, publishes a
letter defending Lieut.. Col. Fremonl's action
in the new Pacific territory. He states that the
latter officer had started from Los Angeles To-
Monterey, distance Of 500 miles, to inquire
into rumor stating that he was about to be
arrested and tried for INSTRUMENTATION. A joint
proclamation had been issued by Gen. Kearny
and Com. Shubrick 70 The people of the terri,
tory, and the Mormon battalion were reported
on their advance TO Los Angeles. The latter
movement both Fremont and the people Of
California considered as threatening his, perso-
nal safety The whole difficulty between
kearny, Stockton. Fremont, &c., appears to
have arisen from all OF them having similar
Instructions. Col. Price was also armed with
the same powers. MIR. Polk appears 10 have

Yet we feel It's the hand Of our gracious Lord.

when lhev reach the field Of action
This would greatly retard if not endangor
filling up the companies behind, but 1t
would be preferable to the other course
With this assurance, we can call upon
the gallant boys of New England to put
themselves under The command OF such
gallant and thorough bred splr''s as
Pierre, Ransom, Thompson, Seymour
and LaHy, men of splendid accomplish
men,s, physical, mental and moral; just
such men as Napoleon or Jackson would
have chosen to put at the head of brig.
AIDE or regiment. Under such men the
New England soldier, will find no, only
commanders whom he can follow with
confidence, but guardians, VINO will care
for him as a man, as well as give hun a
chance to win laurels as soldier. The
boys all understand this, and these spirit
ed officers want time to get their harness
on to be in the field at the head of regi-
ment that will endure any thing, fight any
thing, and beat any thing of not over
ten times their size d number in all Mex
leo.
If, therefore, we understand the pur-
pose of Colonel Ransom in recalling Capt.
Pitman, until al leas, battalion is ready
to move, il is The wisest, most effective
and most judicious movement that could
be made, and the only means of securing
speedy filling up ofthe New EngIan
regiment The country and the depart
ment must see this, and approve of the
course; but whether one company, or five
or ten companies are to 60, lei them &C
with their field officers. that we may have
what we started for, New England regi'
ment in the field, or five are not to have
regiment, let it at least be New Eng

Midshpman Rogers, who had not yet

a guard to prison at Perote-but forlu-
nately the guard were encountered by
our forces and Mr. Rogers was rescued,
and is now on board his ship.
The city is now completely surround

completely cutting of all communication,
by sea and land, and at the same time we
are safe from the fire Of the castle. Sc
closely is Vera Cruz now besieged that
in very few days the news must reach
US that both the city and castle are oc'
cup'ed by our victorious troops. No
doubt is expressed Of the successful ter

CiuU War in The city Of Mcrico,-The
Washington Union of Friday night gives
extracts from Mexican papers as late as
March 5lh. The contest in the capital
still continued. The contending troops
were firing upon each other from build
ings in the city, and had killed many per-
sons walking along the streets. So great
was the CONSERVATION that quorum Of
congress could not be got together, and
what few members did meet assembled in
the hall Of the academy of arts. Gen.
Barragan, the chief of the revolution, had
proclaimed Santa Anna president.
1t is suggested that Santa Anna, after
his defeat a, Buena Vista, marched as
much OF his army as remained with him
toward the capital, as the latest pronun-
ciamento makes Salas acting president,
and supplies for the army were suspended,
the new government council possessing
full power to close the war. The pro-
nunciamento was decided on by the chap.
