THE WAR,
Trie New Orleans National throws some
sdditional light onlthe subject, by the pub
lication of the following letter from Raton
Roiigt, (Geo. Tsylor'a place of residence,)
written, it informs as, 'by a gentleman
acquainted with the facts," (not improba
bly by Major Bliss.) It not only- exonev
rates General Taylor from all agency - in
advising the act of war, but shows thst
he would not even caoss thb Neccbs until
he had received positive instructions - from
the War Department,
Baton Rouor, April 2T, 1848.
' Editor of the Evening National. The
Naliomd Intelligencer of the 8th inst con
tains the proceedings of the lower. Mouse
of Congress of the ptevionus day. the spirit
of which is, 10 force the impression on the
people of the country, that General Taylor
originsted the order, and marched - on to
sf stamoras by bis own will and judgment.
That any member af Congress shonld be
so unscrupulous or so ignorant of the true
history of General Taylor's movements is a
matter of surprise, as documents already
published by the M War Department" give
the outlines, l not the particulars, relative
to the subject, so clearly, that . there need
be po justifiable cause of misrepresenta
tion. , ' - ;- ' :
When Gen. Taylor wss ordered to
Mexico, he was instructed to take up a
position near the Rio Grande, Point Is-
kUl BEINO MSN8D AS A ntOPEa TLACI. but
in consequence ol having large discretiona
ry powci. be prelerred lo tske a position
on undeniable American soil rather than
infringe upon disputed . territory. i fie
therefore made his head qnartersat Corpus
ChrisuY a place that, beyond its being
within the acknowledged bonodary of Tsx
as, wa inconveaient. and in no way favor
able f rn encampment still (Sen. Taylor
prepared to suffer every evil incident to his
situation, ratheihhan m'sny'way eomprom't
his government' After General Taylor
had been some time at .Cor pus " Christi,
Maj. Donaldson, the repressntstive cf the
United States Government ia Texas, earns
to General Taylor's camp for the special
purpose of advising General Taylor- hot
to ca'ss me Nueces, lest he should in
volve the government ia a war with Mexi
co; General Taylor in .the mean lime having
been informed by 'the f orernmenl" that
it wished him lo confer with Majnr Donald
son. - In the course of events, Majot Don
aldson ielt General Taylor's camp, and
there came on from Washington letter to
General Taylor informing him that ha
anouiq. move parrot his loree west- tr Ihesoouid bediatirretTy announced to the wr-rld.
Nuecese. General Taylor not wishing as our settled policy, that no future Euro
to divide his small command and the peart colon or dominion shall, with our
government having re'ieving him of the re-
ponsibility of crossinr the I Neucese,
he took his whole force over, ss he could
by so doing, readily obtsin a good caiirping
ground, anil a depot convenient fur hi
military stores. The events that followed
this movement on tb part of General
Taylor are familiar to ' the world. . The
above is a true staiement'of the prelimina
ries that led to the advance of oar army on
Matamona. The main facts can be fath
ered, as I hate stated, from the "public
documents" alicaily published, containing
the correspondence of General Taylor with
the War Department, previous to the bat-
ties ol the 8ih and 0th of My: Other
facta stated can be proved if denied. The
most superficial observer must 'perceive,
thst General Taylor has never been in I
consistent, and that ehargea f made against
aim, whether frivolous or of weight, when
examined into, only cauae his prudence
and strict ''obeying of orders" to be more
and more admired,":' -Thi statement made
in Congress i hat acme individual from
Mjjll'liPPtha
at Baton Knuge, and that in a long conver
sation he had with General Taylor, the
General admi'ied he took the resoonsibili
ly of moving across the Nuerea caused
me to write you this letter. The publica
tion nian admitted privata conversation is
certainly very indelicate, but when it pro
fesses lo give the details ef a conversation
that Nsvaa took rLAca, it amount to the
committal of the most offensive falsehood.
YUCATAN.
MORE ANNEXATION BREWING!
. 13 y the following Message from the
to boUiJlouses of Congress on Saturday, it
will be seen that that funitonary, after .bee
stowing . on the important subject due con
sideration, has come to the conclusion that
it is the duty ot the United States to take
under its protection the Mexican province
oi xncaian not wun a view to Ha "im-
tnediatt' ' annexation oh ne but 'not
without, a very significant, if not a very
distinct intimation that annexation may
one oa j or otner oe the inevitable conse
qtience ornur intetferencc! ' .
To the Senate and llau$t of '
Ripretentutivtt of tht United Stains
I I submit, for the consideration ot Con
gress, several communications received at
flie OepsrtmenLof State Jbom M r Juato
Siorrea, commissioner ol Yucatan, and also
a communication from ihe governor of that
Slate, representing- the' condition "of er
ireme surTering to which their Country- has
been reduced bv sn insurrection of the In
dians withio its limits, and asking the aid ef
tne united stales. -.-..
The communications presents easebf
human suffering and misery which esnnot
fail to excite the sympathies ol all civil ix
ed 'nations. From these and other soatees
ef information, it appear that the Indians
ef Yucatan are waging a "war igainst the
white race. In this cruel war, they spare
neither age nor sex, but put lo death, in
discriminately, all who fall within their
power The inhabitants, pahie.stricken
and destitute of arms, are flying before
their savage pursuers towards the coast:
and their expulsion from their Country, or
weir extermination, would seem ; to De in'
evitable, unless they can obtain assistance
from abroad. - ? .
In thw condition thev have.' through
their constimted authorities, Implor
ed aid of this government to save them
Irom destruction, offering, in cae Ibis
should be granted, to transfer the "dorain-
in and sovereignty of the Peoinsula' to
the United State. ' 8imirar appeals for aid
aad protection have been nude to "lh
Spanish and the English governmen'l." ,
W hilst it I nm my purpose toj recom
mend the adoption of any measure, with a
view to the acquisition of the "dominion
and sovereignly" over YucUn, yet, ac
cording to our ' established policy, 'we
could not consent to a trshsfer of this 'due
minion, and sovereignity fH either io Spain,
Great Britain, or any ether European pow
er. In the language of President Monroe.
in his message of Decemdcf 1823. "we
should consider any attempt on their part
to extenn inetr system lo any portion of
this hemisphere, as dsngerpns lo oof pesce

December, 1845, 1 declared lhat "near a
Suarter of a century ago, the principle was
ietinrtly announced to the world, in the an

We have now authentic in6rmtion tliat,
f ihe aid 'asked from the United Slates be
not granted, such aid will frobb!r be ob
tained from some Europearr- power, which
may hereaner assert a claim to "dotninton
and sovereignty" over Yucatan. 1
Uurensting relations with Yucatan are
of a pi-euliar Character, as wll be nereeived
from the note of the SeereUrr of State to
hrir emniisl6oeTrds:ed drr te 24A' of
December last; a copy of which is herewith
transmitted. Yucatan has'never rleclared
independence, and we treat her as a State
of ihe Mexican repnblie." For this reason,
we have never officially received her com
missioner; bat whilst this . Is the esse, ws
heve, lo a considerable extent, recognised
her aa a neutral in our war with Mexioo.
Whilst still . considering Yucatan as a
portion of Mexico, if we had' troops to
spare for this purpose, - I would derm i
proper, during the continuance of the war
with. Mexico, to occupy and hold military
possession of h-r territory, and to defend
the whole inhabitants sgainstthe incursions
ot the Indians, in the same way that we
oi me Mexican repuotie in eur possession,
in repelling the attscke of savages upon
the inhabitants who have maintained 4heir
neutrality io the war. - But, unfortunately
we cannot at the present, without serious
danger withdraw- our forces -from other
portion of the Mexlcaq Merrltorv now in
our occupa'ion, and send them lo Yucatan,
Alf that can be done,' under existing ctr-
camstances, is to employ our naval forces

. I hare considered it proper to commun -eale
ihe information contained in the sc-
compsning correspondence, I submit to the
wisdom of Congress' to adopt such meas
ures as, in their iudement rttsy be expe

1823, in relation to the non Interference or
European Powers in the affairs of this Jon

' broad principle that we should be 'bound
to interference in all eases no matter at
what expense of money or sacrifice of liu
man life, when such Interference occurred.
Now, where wss alf ibis to end. and
