EDS DhLTA.-The officers and others who had
heen sentenced to be hanged on day have heen
respited by Gen'l Butler, by special order of the
following substance.
! 1.-The sentence of death, which has been passed
upon persons by courts of merican army, wheth
er Americans Mexicans, is hereby suspended
until further orders "
! am NOT aware what has influenced the conf
manding officer in suspending the sentence of
death upon the officers for the murder and burg
larry at No. Gale de la Palma, but really it does
seem.to many very strange proceeding. and has
surprised the community generally. They were
undoubtedly guilty of one OF the grossest outrages
ever perpetrated upon society, and have, t.. some
extent stgmatised the corps and the Army to
which they belonged, which could only haN been
| wiped out by blood, in a manner sanctioned by
the laws of the country under which they hold
commissions. Their trial was fair and impartial,
and have no hesitation in saying that the Com.
mission who tried and sentenced them, was the
most able have seen convened in the Army !;
there were men upon it of the highest legal attain
ments, and the body were all men Of sound dis
eliminating judgment. The prisoners had able
counsel who abored hard in their defence, and The
conclusion of the trial left no doubt as to thef
guilt.
1t was even so palpable that. upon its being ru-
mored that they could be pardoned, the officers of
the Pennsylvania regiment to which they belong
ed. demonstrated against their receiving any elem.
ency whatever at The hands of the commanding
General, and asked tat the law be allowed to
take its regular course
The good cnlzens of Queretaro are going TO
give our Commissioners grand ball.
The exchange Of ratificaons 10 take place

mentarily. fit briggs anything additional of mo-
ment, | will send another express. MUSTANG.
