La muerte de una hija suya, las quiebras mercantiles que acabaron con su modesta fortuna, la ingratitud de los gobiernos: todas esas nieblas frías que traen consigo sobre la frente del hombre los vientos de la adversidad al doblarle como frágil caña hacia la tierra que ha de recibir sus despojos, quebrantaron su ánimo, debilitaron su físico, y recibiendo en un ataque cerebral el golpe de gracia, rindió el alma al Criador el 23 de octubre de 1851, en Tacubaya.
He recited the incident of the mobbing of teamsters. Looking for the letter, he said, "I have torn it up." "TACUBAYA, September 6, 1847. "To his Excellency the President and General in Chief of the Mexican Republic.
To cap the climax, after the battle of Tacubaya, in April, 1859, General Marquez ordered three citizens of the United States, two of them physicians, to be seized in the hospital at that place, taken out and shot, without crime and without trial.
The new buildings now erecting in Tacubaya are observed to be of stone, and built to last. Wooden structures are almost unknown. Iron is used for many purposes, taking the place of wooden beams, as in this country. We were assured by intelligent persons that all skilled mechanics were busy, such as masons, iron-workers, plasterers, and carpenters.
Gwin was too conspicuous a figure to pass unnoticed the portals of the French headquarters. An informal interview was therefore arranged. We then lived at Tacubaya, a suburb of Mexico reached by the Paseo, where the marshal rode every day for exercise.
Molino del Rey was now captured, and the troops engaged, with the exception of an appropriate guard over the captured position and property, were marched back to their quarters in Tacubaya. The engagement did not last many minutes, but the killed and wounded were numerous for the number of troops engaged.
In the way to this place is another town, called Tacubaya, where is a rich cloister of Franciscans, and also many gardens and orchards; but it is, above all, much resorted to for the music in that church, wherein the friars have made the Indians so skillful that they dare compare with the Cathedral Church of Mexico."
In the vicinity of Tacubaya the land is remarkably fertile, and there is good tillable land as the mountains are approached, especially about Chalco on the southeast; but under Indian cultivation, the whole of this valley could have produced sustenance for only an extremely limited population, if the product of the floating gardens and the ducks caught upon the pond should be added.
The "Tampico letter," as the other letter was called, is given in full: "TACUBAYA, MEXICO, August 27, 1847. "The whole force which moved from Puebla, amounting to ten thousand, more or less, marched in four columns on successive days, in the following order, viz.: Twiggs, Quitman, Worth, and Pillow.
Among the results of this state of things has been that the treaties concluded at Panama do not appear to have been ratified by the contracting parties, and that the meeting of the congress at Tacubaya has been indefinitely postponed.
