TAMPIco, July llth, ls47.


Although you sailed yesterday, and up to this
moment nothing Of importance has transpired
to disturb the peace of our little city, vet cannot
LEI this opportunity pass without saying a few
words to you. Did you observe your own flag
flying whore you first planted itl It was hosted
by Gen. Gates and his fair lady. What a beau.
tiful compliment! When we were crossing the
plaza | saw them in the act Of hosting 1.-THE
Colonel al the halyards and the lady throwing the
flag out in the breeze. There were many look.
ers-on, and many admirers Of the thoughtful and
kind act of your friends. For my own part, |
was in raptures of delight, and never felt prouder
than did at that moment.


L
Since writing the above. have Jus. me, two
gentlemen from the city of Mexico. who inform
mo that the offers Of peace made by the U. s.,
through Mr.. Trsl, are scoffed ni by the Mexicans.
So much the better for the cause Of humnn;ty.-
My fellow passenger Mr.. Pock, is one of the
gentlemen from Mexico, and he assures me thu,
all foreigners now dread premature peace-
They now know Mexican periidy, and he assures
me that however great our contempt might have
been against them, we had but very fain, idea
Of their real vianous proPens,ies.


On the Both ult. Gen. Scott wns within nine
miles Of the city of Mexico. and, presume. has
planted the American flag there ere this. We
hear that Col. Derusy is pressing on rapily, and
this day hope will crown him with glory.


We are oil we'll this morning. and rejoice that
you had such fine weather during the night. MAY
God bless you and speed you on your way. Col
and Mrs. Gates send their love, and


en- truly and afectionately,


Your devoted husband,


FRANKLIN CHASE.
