aRN ou1rnAN,s STATEMENT.

About the middle Of July last (l847,) was sum-
moned attend meeting of officers at Gen. Scots
quarters in Puebla, Mexico. there met the cener-
al-in-chief, Generals Pillow, Twiggs, Shields and
Cadwalsder, and think Col. Hitchcock, Acting
Inspector General. Gen. Worth was not present,
and Gen. Smiths absence was accounted for by Gen.
Scott, who said that he, Smith, had been consulted
upon on the doHeslv.
The General-in-Chief first dEelt upon the great
Importance of peace to country, and the anxious
desire of our Government to bring it about de
said that influenced chiefly by these important con-
sideratious, and his belief that movement upon
the capital would cut of allprOspects Ofa smicable
adjustment of our difficulties, be had halted thus long
at Puebla. That Gen. Pierce, with considerable
body of troops under his command, was shortly
expected to arrive-that our numbers were too weak
for the enerprize before us, and that he expected
reinforcements would be important to He
therefore requested the opinions of The officers pres
ent upon the propriety of awaiting the arrival Of
Gen. Pierce.
He alsostated that he desired to consult them upon
another subject of great delicacy and much impor-
tance-that the prospects of peace now slight,
in Mexico that the desirable object could certainly
be obtained by the secret application Of considerable
sum ofmoney. That the Mexican leaders expected
the negotiations to be attended with doaeeur. That
they were not in the habit of moving without it
that the of money for such purposes was justi'
fed by the practice of other nations and that con-
sideriDg the great good it would in this instance
bring to our country, he regarded the means a:
moral and proper, and did not perceive how any
sensible man could think otherwise. He further
added that Mr. Trst had power or instructions t.
use the three millions voted by Congress, an
part of it, to such purpose-that the must be
accounted for on the face of the Treaty-that, how
ever if it should be considered advisable, he (Gen
Scott had credit in Mexico, and upon the assent o.
request Of Mr.. Trist, he would raise million
million and half of dollars to apply to the purpose
sum sufficient to insure the success Of the negOtia
tons-that be had already thus applied ten tvent
thousand dollars; which he regarded as ''breac
thrown upon the waters"

GEN. SHIELDS STATEMENT.

"On or about the l7lh of July, 1847, Ireoeived an
invitation to call in the evening at Gen. SCOTS head
quarters in Puebla Invitations of this kind were
at that time frequent, and were intended to bring
the principal officers of the army together for the
sake of social intercourse. Such the time regard
ed this invitation. In the course Of the evening
Gems Pillow, Quitman, Twiggs and Cadwallader
Joined US. After dissultory conversation, Gen.
Scott said that he intended to consult matter
of some moment-not a council of war, but as
friends and brother officers. He thereupon read a
letter from Mr. Trst to himself in which as near as
can recOllect, it was suggested that the Mexican
authorities were destitute of means, and that the
writer, Mr. Trist, had good reason to believe that
iudicious application of money would enable us to
obtain peace and requesting Gen. Scott to his
efforts to raise million OF million and half of
dollars for that purpose. Gen. Scott having read
this letter declared himself in favor of the project
the only of procuring speedy and satisfiic-
tory peace. He stated that he had means of raising
the money, and that under the circumstances the
course was 9sfa5e in points of principle and ezpsdi-
eaev He also stated that he had already applied a
small sum, say ten tOenly thousand dollars, and
that he regarded it as bread thrown the waters"
