RUPTURE BETWEEN SCOTT AND TRIST.


neglected, (says the JaIapa correspondent of
the St. Louis Republican, in the hurry Of writing
my last to mention that warm and somewhat
severe rupture had broken out between Gen. Scott
and the Clerk Of the State Department, MIR, Trist,
who has been sent here as sort Of Generatissimo
Of the American army This is the same Mr.. Trist,
If err not, who impaired to Charles J. Ingersoll
the knowledge Of the existence Of private and CON
fdential papers in the State Department, during
the absence Of Mr.. Secretary Buchanan, and who
found out way by which Mr.. lngersoll aaconsti-
iuiionaliy got access to them, which enabled him
to make his groundless and puerile attack upon
Mr.. Webster; and the same Trist who, when Con-
sui at the Havana few years ago, was charged
on the floor Of Congress by Mr.. Adams with being
secretly engaged in the saye-trade, and which
charge was never cleared up. A pretty represen-
tltiye Of a great nation, at foreign court 10 be
sure. A man who, for the basesl, meanest party
purposes, violates the confidence reposed in him
by his superior, and tramples with impunity upon
the constitution Of his country.


This Mr.. Trist, in the exercise of his mongrel
plenary civil and military powers, addressed let
ter to Gen. Scott, directing him as to what move
he must make with his troops. a portion Of those
directions were such as Gen. Scott believed were
at war with the best interests of our Government,
and the tendeacy Of which would be the protracion,
rather than termination of hostities. II was the
correspondence growing out Of this difference of
opinion that was the Immediate result Of this rup-
ture. Copies Of all the correspondence, learn,
has been transmitted by General Scott to the War
Department
