MR. KENDALL'S LETTERS. The letters (says the New Orleans Picayune) which we have already published from our associate in Mexico, received by the Fashion, were written subsequently to the renewal of hostilities. Those written i in mediately prior to the rupture of the armistice necessarily possess less stirring interest, but they throw great light upon the state of parties in Mexico and are more instructive than those sketching the course of military events. We resume to-day the publication of the letters: i editorial correspondence of the picayune.] Tacubava, August 30, 1847. The funeral of poor Irons, Gen. Cudwalader1* aid, who was mortally wounded ut Churubusco, yet who lingered until the 28th, was most numerously attended by his brother officers yesterday. The chances of war have so ordained it that some of the most gallant and popular spirits of the army should fall victims. Of Col. Butler I have already spoken, and the memory of such men as Burke, Wiiloughby, Anderson, Hanson, Capron,Thornton, Preston, Johnstone, Hodman, Kaslyand others will live in the minds of thus*; who knew them us long as recollection lasts. Since I sent off my letters yesterday, our reports from the city arc so conflicting and so contradictory that we tun make little out of them. It is certain that Santa Ana yesterday reviewed no less than 14,U00 troops, and those who saw them say that they made truly an imposing appearance; it is also certain that breastworks have been thrown up in the vicinity of many of the entrances to the capital; yet the friends of Santa Ana and of peace say they have only been constructed to overawe the enemies of pacific arrangements, both within and without the wulls.? As regards the probabilities of peace, no one not immediately in all the secrets can form u conjecture. One hour every thing looks favorable; the next comes, and not a man In the army but will tell you we are even farther from an umicuble adjustment that when (ien. Taylor crossed the Rio Grande, and raised the stars and stripes ut Malamoros. All is doubt und confusion, and no one knows at night, when he lays himself upon his bed, what the eurly morrow will bring forth. In the city, sage the coffee-houses, billiard-rooms and grocery stores, all places of business continue closed, while hordes of hungry leptros are prowling ubout, robbing and inciting to every species of outlawry. No property is safe, and 1 hear it hinted that millions of dollars, belonging to wealthy Mexican families, have been placed under a foreign flag for protection, and that the immense amount is claimed as the property of the citixens owing allegiunce to that banner. From eye-witnesses I have received u f ull account of the recent outrageous attack upou our Wagon train in the city. A more wunton or cowardly outrage was never committed. A little French woman, who lived in a house near the scene, is said to have come out uud openly harangued the rabble which assailed the unfortunate teamsters. Calling the rioters all sorts of hurd names, she told them they hud just found u calling for they were fitted?that they had finally encountered a set of men without arms in their hands, and it was a fit occasiou for them to show their great valor by attucking them a hundred to one. It is also said that a knot of foreigners?Frenchmen and others?who saw the outrage, were so much incensed iriat tney proceeded to arm themselves in order to uttuck the miscreants; but the wagons were moved from the scene before they could be organized. Santa Ana, front a balcony on the Palace, wus a cool spectator of the whole affair, and had a thousand men all drawn up in front that were ordered not to move. His apologists say that he kept them there for his own personal safety, as amid the shouts of the crowd were cries of " Death to the. wooden-legged tyrant! Down with the traitor who wants to sell us!" Let me give you as correct an idea as I am able of the state of parties and feeling in the city of Mexico yesterday?as every thing changes here with the sun, 1 cannot be responsible for the correctness of the picture to-day. In the first place, then, there is the rabble, by far the larger part of the population, who attribute the fact that the American army did not enter the city to fear. Their own manifestoes and documents oil go to prove this.. The opponents of Santa Ana und peace to all they can to spread the belief, and the fact that the wagon train was driven from the city and no steps to obtain redress for the outrage or punish the offenders taken, gives coloring to the belief. These people know no more about the Nueces u? *K#? ,SnHuty do olnoUt the WHlweh ui Suit river?care no more about the one or the other, or about any point in dispute between the two Governments?but they have been nurtured amid broil und disturbance, see no pleasure except in revolution und turmoil, expect no change in their condition from peace, and look upon the Americans as* their common enemy. They have no master mind among them to point out the evil and direct tho right?they move on without rudder or compass, one day glorifying Santa Ana as a god, and the next kicking his mutilated limb about the gutters and dung-hills?they have all the blood-thirstiness and depravity of the French . toe nuisv uujn wi MIC icvuiuuun, I?.Ul HOI one tithe of the co-laborers of Marat. Even up to this time it has never struck the majority of all classes 4 that they arc the most arrant cowards that Christendom has ever produced, that they have neither valor nor prowess. Adversity furnishes them no teaching -defeat exposes not their weakness and utter worthlessness. Ten of our men may chase one hundred of them until they drop from sheer exhaustion, and the moment they recover their breath they are just us valiant as ever?talk of what they are going to do, of how they are to expose their lives to the last gasp, and against all odds, to vindicate the honor of their country! Forgetful entirely that there are such places as Palo Alta, Buena Vista, or Cerro Gordo, they talk of the deeds of Hidalgo and Morelos, and claim to be their descendants. Take from them a province, a castle, an important strong hold, and not a whit are they the wiser as to their true tnejits?they shrug their shoulders, articulate uaguarde un poco" (wait u little) and still believe that they arc the greatest people and the greatest nation on earth, and that they are yet to come out of the war conquerors. They rely not upon Providence, much less upon their own arms; but look into the glass darkly and hope against every semblance of hope. Idle words with them stand in the relation of fucts among uny other people, and empty boastings pass for deeds actually performed?they imagine victories upon paper, yet do not realize defeats while yet wounded and panting on stricken fields. Such is a feeble portrait of the rabble of Mexico^-of nine-tenths nearly of the population?useless, worthless, abandoned, yet with a happy self-sufficiency that renders them blind to every disgrace and indiH'erent to every disaster. With this population we have to make peace. The thinking portion ui tlx- liberal claaaea again, the Puroo or ultra-democrats in part, huwever much they may tleaire peace to protect their property, are perfectly outrageuua that Santa Ana should have auy thing to do with the making of it. Much rathei would they aee an American government establish ed at once in the capital, great aa ia their hate for tin, than aee a peace patched up with the tyrant whohaiau long ruled and ridden rough-ahod over thctn.? Thia ia the party who would do away with every ahadow of a atanding army, who would reduce tinpower and revenue of the clergy, who would do away with ail monopoliea, and who would cut down the offices and expense* of the Government to the ioweat figure. With auch a people their schemes must prove Utopian, but they luite Santa Ana, anil many of them will oppose every obstacle in their power to his making a peace. Then there are the Moderadm- those who oppose alike the agrarian notions of the Purot as well as the absolutism of the Monarquinlat- -and this party embraces u large portion of the wealthy proprietors, followers of the church, nnd belter class of society generally?they may be in favor of peace, but they are alike opposed to Santa Ana. Many of this party, notwithstanding their pride, would be rejoiced to see the United Slates establish a secure and safe government over them?some of thein even go in for uniieaation at onre. Santa Ana has a few friends in this party?friends only from intereat; but the larger portion mistrust him, and there is everywhere a portion who will throw every obstacle In the way of his making peace. A fraction of all thi-ae parties huve been mixed up in the late riot, but the majority of the malcontents have been Purou. Opposed to all his enemies, Santa Ana has a large portion of the officers of the army immediately around him, together with some IB,000 troops still under arms. No doubt he Is anxious for peace, and will , 1 ?? # 11 nuuui; uui nme nop been given him to look about him and feel the national pulse, and he will undoubtedly aet us may beat further his own ambitious schemes. If he ftnda that he can make peace and still preserve his ascendency, which I much doubt, well and good; if not, It* will probably make another show of resiatance, and contrive to humbug his countrymen into the belief that ho baa (lone everything for their honor and glo- i I ry. If ever man waa placed in un extremity it in | Santa Ana; if ever man wus capable of extricating himself, he is the one. A ruler who has deceived and cheated every one with whom he hue had dealing** thus far hue still wit enough to overcome all his enemies. In the mean time, the Congress of the State of Mexico, In session at Toluca, the capital, has protested against malting peace with the United States, or coming to any terms until the blockade of all the ports is raised und all our troops are withdrawn from the territory. The Governor of the State, too, Don Francisco M. de Olaguibei, luis come out with a strong manifesto against peace. He is u Puro, but u man of character and standing, a friend of Gomez. Farias, who is now living at Toluca. Valencia is also there, and hus recently come out with a stroug paper vindicating his own conduct while in command at Contreras. To read it, one would think thut on the 19th of August he hud completely aqnihilated the entire American army?the document is Mexican all over. I have perused a manifesto issued at Toluca, which breathes nothing but war to the very last against the , United Slates?war without rest, and war without quarter?and the writer makes it out that.our future annihilation is inevitable. If there were any meaning In Mexican mreata, 1 presume Hint Uun. Scott would ulther capitulate or evacuate the country with his army forthwith; but these furious paper proclainu- ; tions of the Mexicans, like the tierce heads and figures the Chinese paint outside their wulla, frighten no one. Has it ever struck you thut the Chinese and the Muxcans resemble each other 1 Some of thu foreigners' , here even call the latter lite Chinese of America. , The peace commissioners have adjonrned their meetings until Wednesday next, the 1st September. Humor lias It that Mr. Trist has given thum their ul- , timaium, but this 1 doubt. The talk is, that both , Ren. Scott and Mr. Trist are sanguine that peace ' will be brought about. They of course have the best I chances of knowing every thing, but my humble opi- ' nlon is that all their hopes will prove groundless. To get provisions out of the city, since the wugons r are not permitted to enter it, our commissaries and '' quartermasters are compelled to steal supplies out as ' best they may. For this purpose pack mules are sent to the suburbs every morning before daylight, loaded r and driven out before the mob has time to collect, 1 while money is also clandestinely smuggled out in 1 coaches. It is ruther humiliating to be compelled to 1 resort to such trickery in the presence of an enemy r so contemptible; but as concession is the order of " the day, with the hope that a speedy peace is to be 1 brought about, I suppose it is best to put up and bear ' with every Indignity offered. The terms of the ar- " mistice have certainly been broken in more ways c than one by the Mexicans. * I Yours, Ac. a. w. K. < Taccsava, Ado. 31, 1847. i A party under Capt. Wood, escorted by a squadron a of dragoons under Capt. Hardee, went out a day or f two since In the direction of Toluca after grain, und t reports are current that it has been cut off by the i Mexicans. At all events another party has been sent u out to gain information 011 the subject. In the city, where there is such an immense rabble, it is a different matter; but in the country I hardly think the Me xicans will oiler great molestation to any foraging party that may be sent out. We shall see. I have conversed with several geutlemen from the city to-day, and they tell me that the general impression among the foreigners is that there can be no peace. They say that Santa Ana, much as he desires it, docs not give it his consent. Congress will, of course, oppose the measure to the last, or perhaps will not meet 10 approve of it, which is all the same thing; <| but then if Mr. Bankhead gives Santa Ana a receipt n that he is the Government of Mexico, and is willing c to acknowledge him as having full power, it makes p but little difference to us what course Congress may n take. There are doubtless a great many Mexicans per- o haps a lnrge majority, who think that a few weeks or f( months inaction or delay of the Americans outside q the capital will destroy their army, und hence the I opposition they evince to the removal of provisions t uu supplies alum 'lie vuj. tut:; may pel naps ?.u? u themselves Into ihe belief that General Scott will be s either forced to retire upon Puebla for want of food, or else starved Into a surrender here in Tarubaya.? In the meantime they are digging entrenchments In different quarters, throwing up breastworks, and reviewing their troops. The friends of Santa Ana say that all these preparations aru made to put down anticipated revolution against himself?they are certainly in progress. A large portion of our wounded officers art doing well? [lie two most difficult and dangerous cases tire perhaps Licuts. Holiowuy and Hamilton, and the strongest hopes are entertained that they will recover. Capt. Kearney is improving, so too is Capt. McReynolds and Lieut. Graham. The charge of these gallant'officers, upon the garita of Mexico after the glorious battle ofChurubuaco was over, was most daring. Had they been supported by a single column of Infantry the Mexicans would not have made a struggle to defend the city, so great was the panic among them; but Gen. Worth, who was in advance, hud no orders on the subject, and thus the opportunity was lost. The intercepted letters, mention of which I have already made, say that the Polkas scattered each man to Iris house on entering the city, and changed their uniforms with greatest haste. No band of music playing martial aire proceeded them, nor did the ladies throw boquets and Howers upon the heads of these valiant descendants of Iturbide as was the case when they went out to defend their capital to the last?the stampede was perfect, and wp have the evidence ol their own letters writerin proof. Tours, o. w. k. , P. S. A'me o'clock, nigAf.?Major Piilaolos, thejolnt commissioner with Col. Bolton to see that the terms of the armistice are carried out, has just sent word advising that the pack mules be not send out to-morrow morning, as the authorities anticipate a mob and further acts of riot. So the war wages?humbug hus the day. Tacusava, Sept. 1, 1847. The expedition under Capt. Wood, about which some fears were entertaieed, relumed to-day in safely. At Lerma, about midway between this and Toluca, they were met by the Governor of the State; Oluguibel, and wore told that they could proceed no farther, while the pickets of his force wept seen plainly a short distance in advance. He, however, treated out officers very politely, directed them to a haciendu where they could obtain every thing they wanted, and then retired. He did not leave, however, until he told Capts. Wood and Hardee that he had no respect for the armistice lately signed. Santa Ana has issued a bando or decree prohibiting all foreigners and others from leaving the city and visiting the lines of the Americans, unless they lisve a nsssnort sinned hv himself What his motive are for thin obnoxious measures no one knows, but , he donbtless has good reasons of his own. In the , first place he issued an order, about a week since, for | all families to return to the city within three days, , and now he wishes to keep them there. Every one who comes out will have It?and they assert It upon the evidence of their own proper eye-sight?that the I Mexicans are fortifying at different points, and espe. i dally at San Cosme. If this all be true, it Is a direct I violation of the armistice. Among the guns captured at Contreraa on the 20th i ult. those which attract the most attention are the i two taken from Lieut. O'Brien at the battle of Huena i Vista, and over which the Mexicans made such a i rejoicing. Is It not strange that the aamo company j of the 4th artillery which lost the guns shppld linvr i hud the proud gratiflcatlon of retaking them. The company was commanded by Capt. Dunn, at Contreras, and I learn that it is Gen. H sou's Intention, 1 niter suitable inscriptions nro engraved upon them, 1 to present the guns to the company or regiment. The Mexicans will not gel them bark In a hurry. 1 A great many anecdotes of the Individual gallantry 1 nf our nffippra nria tnW in cnn?u.n?lnn u.Dk th,. ~i?t I ... ? K?""ous buttles of the 20th August, but until I have more time and obtain more full particulars I must forbear recording thein. I cannot avoid noticing, however, the personal gallantry of Chaplain McCarty, the only chaplain I believe who has followed the urmy, and { whose conduct at Churubusco in particular, was noticed by all. Ever foremost, and where the balls were flying thickest, he was not only ready to give consolation to the dying, but spur on the living to fresh deeds. He not only sought the best places for crossing the ditches with which the ground was cut up, t?iif lulfu-il our advancing aoldiera nrrnaa n> . ml as eome of the voltiguera were wading ditch more than waiat deep, where their flteke were touching the water, the worthy pareon pointed out the cireiiinatanre and told them to be careful and keep their powder dry I Such a chaplain ix worth having in a ainali army like oura. On Sundays he gives ua a sound and sensible Episcopalian sermon, and his praise is in every month. The peace commissioners met again to-day, Major Van Buren accompanying Mr. Trist, and report bos it that the dinner on the occasion wan most excellent ! 1 believe it was furnished by the Mexicans, snd the urmy wage will have it that the richness of the viands and the flavor of the wine induced a full jf one parallel of latitude in our demunds. But to jpeak seriously, it is said tiiat both Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist express themselves highly gratified with the prospects of an amicable adjustment, at the flattering chances that a peace between the two countries will be ratified. I must acknowledge thul for jno 1 shall be much astonished when 1 learn thut a mtisfactory peace to our country is signed with Bantu Ana, or even any kind. The mull who has cheated ind humbugged every one with whom he has hud liplomatic dealings thus far has not yet lost his trickery and cunning, and we are altogether loo rank and honest in our transactions even to hope to nuke a fair bargain where nothing but dissimulation ind deceit are pitted aguinst us. i iiurn, ate., u. r*. a.. DAILY NATIONAL WHIG. mswmmwm, rUESDAV AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 26, 1847. For President GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR. iubject to the decision of Hie Willi; National Convention. Wltlg Sentiment In Ohio. If further territory shall be forced upon us, let etertal infamy be uasoemted witli thu name of that reprelentutive of a free State who doeit not insist that ' there shall neither be slavery nor involuntary Bervlude therein otherwise than for the punishment of tritnea. This strong language is from the last of a series of esolutiona adopted by the Whigs of Greenville in the itate of Ohio, at a moss meeting recently Iteld by them n that villiage. It consigns to eternal infamy the name of the Kepesentallve from a free State, who shall not insist thut here shull be no slavery in any new territory which nay bo acquired by the United States. To this seniment, if the word iiuriit is limited to Its true pnrlinnentary signification, there is not a man, in the free Rates, Whig or Democrat, who will not promptly espond. But the question Is, did the authors of tills esolution use the word insist in its parliamentary etise 1 We take It, they did, because if they intended itherwiae thero was nothing to prevent them from idopting a phraseology commensurate with their opinions. If, for instance, they meant to condemn to everlastng infamy the representative from a froe State, who iltould, in acting upon this question, follow in the botsteps of our early statesman, and rote as they did ipon this very subject, they could have said so, in so nany words. The Representative's duty is to insist ipon tile passage of such laws as will benefit the In imuiimiuin in in .u...nu.c *unrai, men member number. We shall notice it when inure at leisure. ? New Hampshire.?The Whig Convention of this State has adopted the Abolition nomination of Mr. [terry for Governor. It has also selected the delefates to the Whig National Convention for nominating candidates for President and Vice-President jf the United States. We give their names In another column, and ahall keep them standing?the names of delegates from all the other States to be tdded as booh as they shall roach us. Selections have been made in Maine and Massachusetts. Will some nf oar friends furnish them to us 1 Bust of Gen. Tavlob.?Garbeille, the indefatigable and talented Garbeille of New Orleans, has returned to that city with a Bust and a statuette of old [tough and Ready and with busts of his chief officers, rhe Bee speaks warmly of them as specimens of the >rt. We bespeak a copy of the Bust and Statuette of nf the old Hero. Our friends of the Bee will please mend to our request and let us know when they will be ready to be shipped, for we are prepared to five the artist the "aid and comfort" which he shall require. mm Return of Old Zach.?The New Orleans Nation)l assures us that General Taylor is positively comin home, that he asked for leave of absence some weeks ago. The Union, not long since, announced that no such request had been made to the Department. The National farther states that his coming to Matamoro* if only In anticipation of his expected permission to retuni. Come when lie will, such a a reception never awaited mortal man aa he will get In New Orleans. Ur* East Tennessee.?The Regiment of Infantry offered from East Tennessee on the 20th of last month has been accepted by the President. i? asm ? f>- The people of Tennessee are moving. They are preparing to call a State Convention to nominate Taylor Electors for the next Presidential election.? Nothing is said about the old party lines on this question.

So that the nnguage of this resolution does not extend its senence of condemnation to the Representative from lie free State, If he shall find that he must vote dlf rently from what his constituents might require un- ' er ordinary circumstances. Such we take it is the tea ning of the Darke County Whigs, whose love of , ountry and whose love of the Union, are not sur- , assed by any of their brethren in any port of the U- | ion. ; We have referred to this resolution for the purpose I f showing that there is not half the violence mani- | sted by our ultra friends in Ohio upon this slavery uestlon as there wus exhibited even last summer, t is a favorable sign. UUratim was not the spirit ' hat guided the councils of our forefathers who gave is the charter of our liberties. Right glad we are to ee the Whigs of Ohio repudiating thisenemy of just ' udgtnent In man. The State that is governed by it oust ultimately, if not immediately, fall. I What is the object for whieh the people of these 1 Itatos hare united together? Is It not for just govrnment? Surely it is. Can any Government be list that does not protect the rights of all the people vhose Government it is? Certainly not. See, then, low it is that the frumers of the Constitution toleated and bore with the ovlis of the people for whom hey ordained and established the Constitution. They lid not demand tlio extirpation of slavery or of any ither institution belomrino to the States. Thev treat. <1 the question of slavery as a question of fact, and eft its amelioration to the proprietors of the instituion. If the United States shall come to acquire now erritory by reason of the Mexican war, the slavery extension question will necessarily come up^in regard to the new territory. How shall we treat that luestlon? Shall the free States say that, under no drcumstances, shall slavery go into any part of that erritory ? Shall the slave States say that slavery ihall go into all the territory that we can or shall acjuire from Mexico? This la not the way the founders of our Government even talked. They talked ind acted compromise from the beginning, and the ?lorious structure of our Government is the fruit of this talking and acting. What is to hinder us from loing as they did 7 Nothing, nothing, but the bad passions of our nature. Shall these passions prevail ? God forbid t Our duty is to unite on some plan of compromise upon which North and South and East and West shall moet. What that plan is or ought to be it is not for us to say. There is wisdom enough in Congress to devise a proper plan. The preservation of the Union is the first object of every man.? Every other question must be made to bend to this i^rand object. And we are proud to see that our Greenville friends recognise this principle in the resolution before us: for they limit the sentence of infamy only to the omission to insist that there shall be no slavery, &c., and leave the representatives free to net as the circumstances may demand. Southern Review.?Our thanks are due to the Mh.

That will do for to-day. 1 m 1 fWt is said, on good authority, that the Trial 1 treaty project was not Mr. Polk's ultimatum. Instructions had been sent to Mr. T. to demand the 26th parallel of latitude as the boundary, but they did not reach him in time. It was these instructions ll which were taken by the Mexicans and given by the ? Mexican commissioners to Mr. Trist; and it was t( probably owing to the enemy's coming to the know- n ledge of these instructions, that no terms could be v agreed on. j f*r The Democrats of Ontario, N.
