 A letter from friend at Washington dated the 24th Nov. says; g#

 "Gen Scott and Staff left Washington to-day for the south. The impression is that he goes to take command of the new expedition via Tampico.- Of course, the public know nothing of ths definite object, and indeed his departure is not generally known in the city"

 The same fact is stated in the Washing correspon. dence of the Baltimore papers, with the conjecture that Tampco is the point for which Gen. Scott is specially sent He will find that place opened to him already. fa

 The correspondent ofthe Baltimore Sun says, on this subject, dated Nov. 24;

 There has been an uncommonly protraced Ca bnet meeting today, and measures of great mpor taace have, no doubt, been determined upon. think il is very likely Gen. Scott will receive the command of the great expod ton now preparing against Mexico, and the country will applaud the appointment. Let -gones be by zones. When the cou try requires the sery.ces of eminent men, we must take ethem from ihe most prominent such as have prestige attached to their names.

 The appointment of Major General Scott if II should prove correct, and believe the Cabinet are now (half past three oclock) deliserating on it, would necessarily lead 10 that of Con- Stewart in the Gulf C0mmodOIc Connor Eeeu nOt pc super seded or recalled all lis sufficient to order Com Stewart down 10 the Gulf for him as ths senior of ficer 10 assume the command; and then, more extra cheer for Old Ironsides, whose very name is worth an additional gun on board of each ship.

 Scott in the army, and Stewart in the Navy, would look like an earnest the part of the administration 10 carry on the war in the proper spirit. Nothing but decision will now answer, and nothing but heavy blows br ne the Mexlcans to terms Let them then, fall thickly and heavily our bgoted foe and spare not. Mexican presumption must be chas- tised ssas fEr a5rs

 We are, notwithstanding all this, by no means certain that Gen. Scott is coming this way al s.- We find no alIusion to the fact in either ofthe Wash ington porers, and the Baltimore correspondent ofthe Intelligencer writes on tho 25th, that Gene ral Scot nassed through that ciiy on his way nmth
