CRY OF MEXICO, Nov. 26, lS47.
General Scott is in peck of troubles with
some of his Generals. He arrested the gallant
and distinguished Col. Duncan week or ten
days since, for avowing the authorship of cer-
tain letter which appeared at Pittsburgh and
Washington, and in which he (ScotD was re-
Pillow was arrested for an alleged disrespect, and
on Thursday General Worth was arrested for the
same offence. Twiggs is the right hand man of
the General now, and whether these arrests are
whether there is something deeper in the matter,
am at a loss to imagine. Be this as 1t may,
there is considerable excitement prevailing
among the different partlzans. Scott himself
has no great popularity with the rank and file,
nor do believe his friends, among the officers,
very numerous. Worth and Pillow are decided
ly more popular than Twiggs-Worth with the
old army, and Pillow, with the new, The parti-
zans of Twiggs gave him a splendid dinner the
other day, in which, sentiment after sentiment
were given to his gallentry and good general
ship. If Worth and Pillow were not under ar
rest, their friends would follow suit, so the ex-
element would increase. AS side with none
OF the factions, it Is to me rather a source of
amusement than otherwise, and will continue to
be as long as itdoes not interfere with the disci-
pine OF the army;
BY the 9,,w way Gplqne % p H. is INVOLVED in diff
tricate himself; which, when added to his law
less and cruel whippings of soldiers and team
sters, may give him much trouble.
About the time the train left, commanded by
him, he took up Frenchman and Swiss, resi-
dents ofthis city, and without the form of trial.
subjected them to the lash severely.
Il, The society Of Frenchmen here protested to
the General-ln- Chief but failed to obtain justice,
Col. II. being permitted to leave with the train;
and seeing that there was no hope for justice
here, they have published their wrongs to the
world, and solicited that protection from their
government which they are entitled to, and
which they will obtain. / enclose you the pub
licatIon.*
The news from the Mexican Congress is alto
gether unsatisfactory; the vote indicates predo-
minance OF the mongrel peace party; but there is
the usual want of decision in their actions, and
there is strong evidence that Santa Anna is at his
old game of intrigue. He IS said to be at Oaiaca
though his myrmidons are at Queretaro, busy at
work.
The publication has not been received It'll presumed
It was not prepaid, and consequently thrown out at
New Orleans.
