The correspondence between Gen.
Scott and the, Archbishop Of Mexico,
on The subject of the release OF the Mex
scan prisoners, is very interesting
The latter asks the layor other liber.
aiion on the ground that their families
are suffering in consequence Of their
confinement. He says the affection
and respect which Gen. Scott, has al.
ways shown TO the holy church, Of
which he is The head in The city, EN-.
boldens him 10 make this request, and
instances the Liberation of the French
prisoners BY Abdel Kader through the
mediation of the Archbishop Of Argel.
81, The general replies at some length,
citing the cases Of the prisoners taken
at Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo, who
were liberated on their parole, and lad
afterwards taken up arms against The
Americans; that while at PuebIa he
asked the liberation Of the American
prisoners taken on the Rio Grande,
who were to have been exchanged bv
an agreement between Santa Anna
and Gen. Tailor, but that an evasive
reply having been returned, another
communication was sent on the 29th
ofJuly, the only response to which
was found in the palace, after General
Scott had entered the city, folded, seal.
cd and directed 10 him under date of
August. a. ai stiaa,.s ssa .aaY
General Scott concludes by saying :
il the Archbishop will have the ,
goodness to appoint some dighitary of
the church to visit these men and ex-
plain to them that prisoners Of war un-
ieriheir parole are always shot if found :
against the same beligerent be. !
ore being duly exchanged; and that if q
d,gnitary gives also a solemn ad- 9
ncnition Of the church against the vio- ?
alton Of their oaths, he will give them n
heir liberty under its sacred authority. 9
The Archbishop, in a subsequent '
efsonal interview with the command. n
r.in.chief, cited him to the decree of =
= Mexican government, which pro- o
Ibiled all Mexicans from giving their :
not to fight against the Amer. ie
ms, and The responsibility, which he "
'ould incur ifthe supreme Government y
lould disapprove the step, and thus N
