 CIrr op MkxIco, July 2S, lS47.

 DsAA BnoFHxn: have an opportunity Of ior- warding letter so yoa so-mOsrOw; improve it. When last wrote to yoa, a month since. hoped fiat Gen. Scott would, before this time, have been ia Mexico. But hs k naw no farther advaaeed than Puebia. where hs was at that time. It s moi ny purpose to Ead faGlt with the Govsrnmcut or Gen. Scott. presume that they have good reason for every thing they so and are pursuing the best poIi ey. But to me, prisoner, ard whose liberation depends on the movements of our army, il does ap- pear that things move very .ardily. The Famor here t. tAai last nighi council of war was held in which it vas determined to send Gen. Valencia to- wards Puebla. with several thousand men. Some say that his object wI be to get in the of Gen Scott. and cut of hls supplies and communication with Vera Cruz. Bat my impression IS that it is merely ruse of Santa Anna's to raise money. as that appears to be the object of hts administration. The whole of their ports, through which they re- ceived revenue heretofore. being in the possession Of the Americans. tho expenses of the Government must of necessity be supported by forced loans and contributions. And the people are becoming so tired Of paying these oi-Tepeated loans and eon'ri batiOas. the Government s oftea drivea to the mesnest sub,erfuges to gull them iato payment.

 Gen. Santa Anaa has collected here an army oF a .oeo men with ice pieces of artillery. They fortfying the city stevery point bat that will aya them nothing Tea thoasand good white men will be the greatest abundance to come and take the city am informed that Gen. Scott has not less than l9, GOO men with him in Puebsa at this time of which 2OoU will be sufficient to guard PuebIa SO that he can move on to Mexico with force oT I7 900 men. before whom any force that the Mexieans can bring into the field will be forced to fall or fly Tn fact, at this late day. see sense in Mexicans fighting white men. 1t s like driving sheep to shooting match: every shst Is good for one.

 We understaa that Gen Scott has been making some efforts win Gen. Santa Anna to get us Ebera- ted: but what siccess he has had. oI whether he will have any saccess, I do not know,--this much do know. we are still here prisoners. We have ye; the bounds sf the city. You are aware that Gen. Taylor agrsed for our exchange al Buena Wis ts. and liberated upwards of 1000 Mexican prisoners for about 30 AmGicans, which were ali that the Mexieans had at that time. And the Mexican Go yernment. sfler Aaving their prisoners liberated ia good faith, by Gen. Taylor, immediately on making the agreement fOc their exchange, have, in violation of ali faith, detained us more than Eve months as prisoners. 'Tis true that most of our men were sent oil. arwards of moath since. to be liberated, as it was said, bu, we are informed that they are still detained at little town between this and Tam pco. where they suffering for every thing which would render them comfortable.

 would like to ksow the course our Government intends 10 pursue with regard to Mexico. I am in favor of not making peace. but taking possession of the whole country and keeping it. In the event of this country being annexed the United States the trade of gslOws- baiieing will be good one : for there are certainly in this Republic and filter subjects for hangman than any place in the world

 I would very much like to hear from home think that you may send me letters and papers. when you receive this. to Mexico, via Vera Cruz. - Major Zealand and myself are well. . .
