Peo ples, of the American Star, gave some de tails of a conversation between himself and Gen. Pillow, in reference to Mr. Peo ple's previous notice of intention to pub lish the Leonidas letter, with such com ments as he thought it deserved. Gen. Pillow said to him : ' You must recollect, as I said before that I never forgot my friends nor forgive my enemies. At that time the late Capt. Smith, 3d Infantry, came in, and the con versation stopped. After Captain bmilh had left the room, I askedGen Pillow if he would allow me to take that letter which he had addressed, but not sent, to me, that could shape a contradiction, as he author ized, from. He reminded me again, when I TOt no to leave the. rnnm. that, hn was second in command, and it General Scott! eneSV, 1 lhil!i he always displayed as Which ItUM tiirrittrl nnt a4 mall oe rtiil!

Q. Had the witness many official or other interviews with Gen. Scott between the 7lh and 12th of September, and what was the impression received by witness on those occasions, regarding said Scott's energy compared with earlier occasions in the campaign ? f A. 1 have had frequent interviews with Gen.

Pieayune, of Monday. 3rd of April, was received at the Star office, in Mexico, on Sunday morn ing, the 9th at G o'clock. This is hard to beat. I A number of families, driven from Yu catan by th! Indians, had arrived at Vera Cruz in a slate of miserable destitution. Subscriptions were raised for their succor, to which the) Americans were the princi pal contributors. The Vera; Cruz True American, of the 15th, says that the United States propel ler Massachusetts, Captain Wood, left on the 14th forjNew Orleans, with one hun dred and filly sick soldiers from the gen eral hospital. ' The French citizens of Vera Cruz gave a banquet oh the evening of the 15th in honor of the French Revolution. The hospital at Vera Cruz is about be ing removed to Jalapa, so learns the True American, j Since the publication of the armistice, many families have returned to the City of Mexico, ivhich gives the town a more lively appearance. The Star of the 5th that State. He I n''' 01 several omcers 01 ranK in ine lucxican army ; alsofa full company of Mexican cavalry full -- equipped with escopettes, swords. &c. The Star expresses the hope and belief that the presence offlthose troop ers will not lead to a rupture of the ar mistice. Qur own correspondent, howev er, details a serious affair, 'which might vell create) the suspicion that some of the Mexican officers in the City are intent up on breaking: the convention, and hinder, rauta has at last been checked.; A letter from Queretaro, dated April 2, states that the Father was arrested at Huajutla, by the Prefect Don Cristobal Andrade. The arrest is officially announced in the Tarn pico Noticioso. Capt. Connolly!, of the Louisiana Moun ted Battalion, arrived at VeraiCruz. es corting the mail at Puebla, on the 12lh instant. Capt. C. met a great many goer rilleios, but they made no opposition to his march. He also met a Mexican train of eight wagons, the conductors of which reported that the gufcrrilleros had levied a contribution of three hundred dollars on their merchandise. "On or about the 22d September, I, to gether with another officer, paid a visit of ceremony to Gen. Pillow, Upon that oc casion, the conversation turned upon the battles preceded our entrance into the ci ty. Maj, Gen. Pillow stated to us that the battle of Molino del Rey was an un fortunate affair ; he informed us that he had lost 890 men,, which loss we, (mean ing the general officers) sedulously con cealed from the army, lest it might have a dispiriting effect on the men, and that Gen. Scott was stunned or parlyzed by this loss ; aniF consequently, upon himself as second in command, devolved the sub sequent movements or words to that ef- much or more energy, both of mind and body, as 1 observed on lesser occasions. Lieut. Reeman testified that Major Rurns denied positively to him having been the author of the Leonidas h'tter.

The details are two long for our columns. We give a sonopsis, embracing all the points of interest. Mobile Adver tiser. f The first witness called was Lt. Clarke. I whose testimony was expected to impeach the previous deposition of Major Burns, who had sworn that he had never before been a witness before a civil court. Lt. C. was not allowed by the: court to testi fy, because it could not find on the records of the court that Major Burns liad so sta ted. To this decision Gen. Scott entered his protest. f S Capt. Taylor's testimony was verv clear ly, against the claim of Gen. Pillow, of having planned the battle of Contrcras. He says : "I asked him the night, previ ous to the battle how things looked ? He replied, badly. He said the position was very strong, too strong to be attacked, and used. I was also civen to understand at the same time, by Gen. Pillow, that the conception,-as well as the execution, of the assault upon Chapultapec, originated with himself. With the exception of some personal compliments on ourselves and the Voltigeur Regiment, that was, I be lieve, the substance of the conversation." Mr. Trist thus runs a tristful thrust at General P.'s claims to the honors of the victory of-the 20th of August. They had been in Gen. Scott's room on the night of the 19th, engaged in consultation respec ting the contemplated battle of the mor row. Mr. T. says : 44 The company dropped off until at a very late hour of the night, when prepa ration were made by General Scott to go to bed, and he had a bed made in his room also for General Pillow. Upon my leav ing the room to go to my.own, Gen. Pillow followed me and went with me to my room. He then, in a very solemn tone, said to me, 44 This is going to be a failure. I an swered thatthings had certainly not looked very bright at nightfall, but my own spir its had been very much; raised by Capt. Lee s arrival, and the information brought with him.- Gen. PilTow did not notice my remark, but in a tone and manner im plying that I had interrupted him, went on to say, that I call on you now to re member and bear me witness hereafter.

Rather a thrust that no doubt more severe than the wound that put Pillow in the blanket. The testimony of Lieut. Simpson goes mere, ly to confirm lhat of Lieut. McConnell, as to the time that elapsed after the fall o( Chapultc- pec before the arrival of General Pillow, in a 1 the government, and impri blanket, at the Castle.

Rut the people of this country will yet put a correct estimate upon the whole matter, and we hope reward the actors therein, according to their deserts. One thing appears evident, and that is, that Gen. Scott will lose nothing can newspapers, and lest of a Republic should sprea 1 dominions, he proscribed :;'.! from the United States ur.u allies. They were not nlk through any post offices m ered important. that he was going to report that fact to ' that 1 have had nothing to do with it.

Mr. Trist further testified, that at a mee ting of many general officers, about the 11th of September, General Scott was in favor of attacking Chapultapec, but that Gen. Pillow was very reserved. Further more, that about the same time, Gen. Pil low expressed to him his decided opinion that there should be no more active ope rations until the army was reinforced.' He also testifies that Gen.

CASSIUS M. CLAY. ! The calumniator of Henry Clay receives very little quarter from the public press.

We think Cassius is guilty of a sin of omission, together with many of commis sion, in his letter. If Mr. Clay absent at He then began some J the Virginia Springs, was virtually guil ty of the murder ol Cassius on his sick bed, he ought, on the other hand, to be credit ed for saving the life of Cassius at a still greater distance. We cannot vouch for the truth of the statement, but it has been made to us on respectable authority, that Cassius, when a prisoner among the Mex icans, begged them to spare his life telling ing he was a son, or relative of Tlenry Clay, who was opposed to the war, but who.if be were slain. would take vengeance against Mexico ! Now, if this be true, we think Cassius does not deal fairly to complain of Mr. Clay for leaving him to be murdered in his sick bed.
