Letter (rem Gen Taylor TleNewYoik Expiess of yesterday rdl'sles the following letter, which tells its cwn stcry too well to need any ccmirer.t. The Exptesstays: It is but just bewever, to its heroic writer, whose cotirtge and judftnent are equalled only by Iiis honesty and modesty, to state, that it was written to a near friend and relative, now resident in New York, endeared to
him by many years of personal intimaeyi to whom he unbosoms all his purposes, opinions and feelings, without the least reserve. This frtend would not have taken the liberty of making a public communication of this nature, did not the recent manifestations of the envious malignity of the administration and its servants and friends towards the man who alone has saved them and thetountry from the consequences of their rashness, Ignorance and incapacity, make it necessary and just that the object of their base detraction should, at this critical moment, he heard in his own defence, by the whole people, in his own simple and honest language. We have, adds the Express, more of this sort to communicate, and shall soon te able to show that in his defence against his own personal enemies and selfish detractors, as well as against the armed enemies of his country, Ihe old hero of the Rio Grande is ever " ROUGH AND READY,"
ILL Qrs.A'yqf Occupation or Invasion. Monterey, Mexico, Nov. 9, 1S40.
My dear Your very kind and acceptable letter of the 31st or August, reached me only a short time since, for which I beg leave to tender you my sincere thfitiks. A few confidential remarks on certain public transactions are here omitted After considerable apparent delay on the put of the Quarter Master's Depart ment, in getting steamboats into the Rio Grande adapted to its navigation, I succeeded, towards the latter part of August, in throwing forward to Camargo, (a town situated on the San Juan river.three miles
from ttj junction with the Rio Grande, on i the west side, nearly 500 miles from Bra- J
zos Island by water and 200 by land, and 140 from this place,) a considerable depot of provisions, ordnance, ammunition and forage, and then, having brought together an important portion of my command, I determined on moving on this place. Accordingly, after collecting 1700 pack mules, with their attendants and conductors, in the enemy's country, (the principal means of transportation for our pravistons, baggage, &c.,) I left, on the Sin of September, to join my advance, which had preceded me a few days previous to SerraWo, a small village 75 miles on the mine, which I diJ on the 9ih, and after waiting there a few days for some or the corps to get cp, moved on and reached here on the I3ih, with 6250 men. 2700 regulars, the balance volunteers. For what took place afterwards, 1 must refer you to my seveial reports; particularly to
my detailed one of the 9ih ult. I do not believe the authorities at Washington are satisfied with my conduct in regard to the terms of the capitulation entered inta with the Mexican commander, which you no doubt have seen, as they have been Tnadepublrc through the official organ, and copied into various other newspapers. Have this moment received an answer io my despatch announcing the surrender or Monterey, and the circumstances attending the same.) front the Secretary f Var, stating that "it was regretted by t'e P.esident that it was not deemed advisable to insist on the terms ! had proposed In my first communication to the Mexican romniander, in regard to eiing up the city," adding that "the circumstances hich dictated, no doubt justified the change." Although the terms or capiiulaiion mzy be considered too liberal on our part by ihe President and his adviser-, as well as by many others at a distance particularly hoSe wno(Jo nol lIri(Jers,snd the position we occupied, (otherwise they might come to a different conclusion in reenrd to the maiter.) yet, on due reflection, I Spe nothing to Induce me to regrel the cour,e I purscrd. The proposition onthe.pattof Ge.i. Ampttdi, which had much to do in determining my course in the matter, was based on the ground that our government had proposed to his to settle the existing difficulties by negotiation, (which I knew was the case, without knowing the result.) which was then under consideration by the proper authorities, and which he (Gen. Ampudia,) had no doubt wo;d ult favorably, as the hole t-f his people were in favor of peace. If o, considered the further effusion of blood not only unnecessary, bnt improper. Thetr force was also cm.iddrably larer thin ours; tnd from the sice n position cf iltf J wt eovCt. lot
ccrrpletely invest it; so that the greater
portion or their troop?, if not the whole, fiad they been disposed to do so, ' c'.-iM ny night, have abandoned the city, at once entered the mountain passes, and effected their retreat do what we could! Had we teen put to the alternative of taking the place by storm, (which there is no doubt we should have succeeded in doing,) we should, In ail probability, have lostEftyor one hundred men in killed,
wsiaesthe wounded which I wished to avoid, as there appeared to be a prospect of peace, even if a distant one. I also wished to avoid the destruction of women and children, which m ust have been very great, had the storming process been resorted to. Besides, they had a very large and strong fortification, a short distance from the city, which, if carried with the bayonet, must have been taken at a great sacrifice of life; and, with our limited train of heavy or battering artillery, it would have required twenty or twentyfive days to take it by regular approaches. That they should have surrendered a place nearly as strong as Quebec, well fortified under the direction of skillful engineers; their works garnished with forty-two pieces or artillery, abundantly supplied with ammunition, garrisoned by 7000 regulars and 2009 irregular troops, in addition to some thousand citizens capable of (and no doubt actually) bearing amis, and aiding in its defence, to an opposing force of half their number, scant- ' 1 supplied with provisions, and with a light train of artillery, is among the unaccountable occurrences of the times, I am decidedly opposed to carrying the war beynnd Saltillo In this direction, which place has been entirely abandoned by the Mexican forces, all oT whom have been concentrated at San Luis I'otosi: and I shall lose no limOn taking possession of the former, as soon as the cessation of hostilities referred to expires; which I have notified the Mexican authorities will be the case on the 13th inst. by direction of the President of the United Slates. If we are (in the language of Mr. Polk and General Scott) under the necessity of "conquering a peac," and mat tiy taking the capital of the country, we must go to Vera Crtiz.take that place, and then march on the city of Mexico. To do so in any other direction, I consider out of the question. But, admitting that we conquer a peace by doing so say at the end of the next twelve months will the amount of
blood and treasure, which must be expended in doing so, be compensated by
'.he same? ' I think not; especially, ir the country we subdue is to be given up; and I imagine there are but few individuals in our country who think of Annexing Mexico to the United States. f do not intend to carry on my operations (ss previously stated) beyond Saltillo, deeming it next to impracticable to do so. ttthen becomes a question as to what is best to be done. It seems to me the most judicious course to be pursued tin our part, would be to take possession, at once, of the line we would accept by negotiation, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, and occupy the same, or keep tthat we already have possession of; and that, with Tampico which I hope to take in the course of next month, or as soon as I can get the means of transportation will give us all on this side of the Sierra Madre, and as soon as I occupy Saltillo, ill include six or seven States or Provinces, thus holding Tampico, Victoria, Monterey, Saltillo, Monrlota, Chihuahua which 1 presume Gen. Wool has possession ol by this time Santa Fe and the California; and say to Mexico, "Drive us from the country!" throwing on her the responsibility and expense of carrying oa offensive war; at the same time closely blockading all her potts en the Pacific and the Gulf. A course of this kind, if persevered in for a short time, would soon bring her to her proper senses, and compel her to sue for peace ; prolded there is a government in the country sufficiently stable for ns to treat with, which, t fear, will hardly he the case Tor many years to Come. Without large reinforcements or volunteers from the United States, say ten or fifteen thou
sandthose previously sent nut having already been greatly reduced by Sickness and other Casualties I do nol believe it would be advisable to march beyond Saltillo, which la more than 200 miles beyond our deprtts tin ihe Rio Grande, a very long line on which to keep up supplies over a land rnnte, in a Country like this for a Urge force, and certain to be attended with an expense which will be frightful to contemplate when closely looked into. From Saltillo to San Luis Potosl, the next place of importance on the road to the city of Mexico is three hundred miles one hundred and forty badly ! Wti whin no supplies of my kind ctmll
be pioemed for men or horses. I havr,in- I formed the War Department that 20,000 '
rCIciehtmen would le necessary to insure success if we more on that p!ace-a city containing a population of COXCO, where the enemy could bring together and sustain, besides the citizens, tn anny t-f 50 CC0, a foice which, I apprehend, will hardly be collected by us with the train necessary to Teed it, as w ell as to transport various other supplies, particulaily ordnance snd munitions i f war. In regard to the at misiice, w hich would have expired, by limitation, in a few days, we lost noihir g by it, as eve could not move even now.had the enemy continued to occupy Saltillo; for, strange to say, the first wagon which has reached me since the declaration of war was on the 2d instant, the same day on which I received from Washington an acknowledgment of my despatch announcing the taking of
Monterey; and then I received only 125. so that I have been, since May last, completely crippled, and am still so for want or transportation. After raking and scraping the country for miles around Camar-
go, collecting every pack mule and other means or transportation, I could bring here only 80,000 rations fifteen days' supply with a moderate supply or ordnance, ammunition, &c, to do which, all the corps had to leave behind a portion of their camp equipage necessary for their Comfort, and in some instances among the Volunteers, their personal baggaje. I moved in such a way, and with such limited means, that, had I not succeeded, I should no doubt have been severely re primanded, if nothing worse. 1 did silo sustain tlie Administration. ' Of the two regiments or mounted men rrom Tennessee end Kentucky, who left their respective States to join me in June, the latter ha just reached Camargo; the former had not got tn Matamoros at the
latest dates from there. Admitting that they will be ns long in returning as in getting here- to say nothing ,r the lime necessary to recruit their horses and were to be discharged in time to reach tl eir homes, they could jcrre in Mexico hut a very thort lime. Trie foregoing remarks are not made with the view r finding fault w ith any one, hut to point out the difficulties win which I have had to contend. Monterey, the capital of New Leon, is situated on the San Joan River, where it comes out of the mountains, the city which contains a population of about twelve thorsanJ being in part surrounded by them, at the head of a large and beautiful valley. The houses are of stone, in the MootL-h style, with flit roofs, which, with their strongly inclosed yards and gardens in high stone wall, nil loop, cd for musketry, make them each a fortress within itself. Ii is the ino.-i important plicein Northern Mexico or on the east side of the Sieira Madre commanding the only pass or road for carriages from this side, between it and the Gu'f of Mexico, on the table lands of the Sierra, by or through which the city or Mexico can be reached. I much fear ! shall have exhausted your patience, before you get hair through this long and uninteresting letter, ir so, you can only commit it to the flames, and think no more about it, as I write in great haste,residesbeing interrupted every f vp minutes; so that yon must make great allowances for blots, interlineations and
