WASHINGTON, March 25, l848.
GENERAL SCOTT.

The correspondence of which | wrote you
yesterday, has been the subject of an animated
debate in the House. As was anticipated the
letters of Gen. Scott and others have been
shameiully garbled under the Discretionary pow
er conferred upon the President.
Mr.. Chngmau, of North Carolina, who has
brought the subject TO the attention of the House
says that in examining il, he found whole let
tcrs omitted, rs for example, Gen. SCOTS plan
of the campaign. He says further, upon the
evidence of the same examination, that the let
tcrs muIIiated, sometimes by cutting out The be-
ginning of letters sometimes by cutting out the
end and at others, by taking away whole para
graphs,--notwilhstanding which, he adds, the
correspondence will do great credit to the brave
General in command. 1t will show, however,
what the Administration has been most anxious
to conceal--continued censurcs, complaints, and
faith towards General Scott, Notwithstanding
the great honor he has conferred upon the Ad.
minisralion; and, through it, upon the country.
From his first wish TO serve the Executive, in
the war in which he had involved the country,
until his triumphant entry into the capital of the
Republic of Mexico, he has Teen as, allied
sometimes snoakingy, as in The attempt to SUI
porcede him by the appointment of LouIen-
ant Gneral; and sometimes openly, as in his
suspension and public trial, us all offender III the
midst of the very people and country his skill
and prowess had conquered. Mr.. CIingman
showed the just estimate in which General Scot
was held abroad by the recent remark of the
Duke of Wellington, who, with an acquaintance
of Mexican geography, said he could not have
supposed it possible for the greatest captain o
any age TO have gone through such u country
with such means. And this is the man whom
President Polk has decapitated from the Army
Mr.. ClingmNn referred TO the effect produced
upon Mr.. Commissioner Trisl's mind, by Gen
cral Scott, When Mr. T. went TO Mexico, h,
appeared there rs the enemy of the Commands
in Chief, and threatened to pull him down from
his lofty scat; and in one of his last letters, th
same man Trsl, lamenting his early prejudices
pronounces General Scott TO be one of the grca
test men for skill, wisdom, and bravery, which
the country has ever produced. And this is III,
Judgment Of all who have served under him
The public sentiment Of the nation, too, ant
perhaps o. the whole people, saving the miser
able few at the scat Of Government, who have
been Jealous of his laurels, and who have sough

hardly believe that such soldier, beloved BY
the army and respected by the country, has becl
suspended from command and put upon his tri

THE NEW COMMISSIONER TO MEXICO.
WASHINGTON. March l8-SaturdaY nipht

hAShlNGIuNs mbTCu lo-Duiufudy night
The Telegraph will have informed you Of
the nomination, and confirmation by the Presi-
dent this day, Of Nathan Clifford, (Auorney
General Of the United SIates,) us n Joint Peace
Commissioner, with MIR. Sewer, to proceed 10
Mexico, to negotiate treaty Of Peace, upon
the basis of the terms approved by the Senate.
The selection of Mr.. Clifford is unfortunate for
the Administration and by no means crodlable
10 the country. His good fortune, if il be good
fortune, arose from the fact of his unftness 10
occupy the place he has filled here, as the prin.
cpal law officer Of the Government. Ii was
not an easy matter TO cast him adrift by removal
and hence he is promoted, or changed from an
office worth $4,000 per annum, to one worth
$22, 800 for half years service Mr.. Clifford,
therefore, may be very well content to pocket
the aflront of removal from office, from such
a motive, in his ability TO pocket along with n
very honorable mission, small fortune for We
ry small amount of public service. The Gov
ernment and Administration may be benefited
in the mean time by more competent law Off
Ger to serve them. E. D.
