Vzna vaz. June 28‘
On Saturday laat about‘BOO. horses and
mules escaped from the pen through either
the carelessne‘asol’ the'man in charge. or.
u some suppose. it may have been done
intentionally, and although a considerable
mounted lurce has been sentout totry and
recover them. they returned‘ last night
uithout success. There is no doubt but
that the ‘ guerrillas- had a hand in". and
as soon as the horses and mulu reached
the point _where they were prepared to re
ceive them. they no doubt hurried to re
ceive them. they no doubt hurried them
out ol the reach ol the party sent to reco
ver them. The mialortune wdl be severe

here. as theae horses and mules were in
tended particularly lur the transportation
0! the baggage and provisions olthe troops
which are daily arriving. and who may be

may be a aulficient nnmber left todespatch‘

leave the latter part of thie' week. but for
the others that are expected I tear that we
aball have to look to New Orleans for the
means ol tranlporlation, and in the mean
time our poor soldiers will have to lie here
subject to all the disuse: ol the climate.
‘ The stock keeper has been confined in

lair wrll undergo a legal investigation».
This makes. at a small calculation about
1.000 horses and mules which have been

ought to know all about it. as high as}.

minister at Mexico; Mr. , Baokhead, who aition ol‘ the Mexican troupe.
has exerted himself to bling about a nego
tiation for peace between the two nations.
Mr. Buchanan's letteriaduled April 15.
It ncknouledgea the receipt of the Mexi
can Minister’s letter on the 22d February.
declining to accede to our proposition tp
send commissioners to Jalapa, Havana. or
other point before the blockade of the Mex
ican ports should be raised and the Mexi
can territory evacuated by our troops.
Mr. Buchanan writes tltat tlte'Preaident
holds such a condition absolutely idadmia
sib|e~neither demanded by national hon
or nor sanctioned by the practice of ne
tions. He urges that such a preliminary
icunditinn 'wuuld render wars interminable,
especially ~between eontigudue nations.
unless by the complete submission ofone
ol the belligerents. ' ‘
lple showqhow puerile a course tl would
be for a nation whieh lltall sacrificed men
and money to gain a foothold in an ene
my's country. to abandon all the advanta
ge‘i it had won. and withdraw its forces in
order to induce’negptia tlona.
He then cites the "caae ofbur war with
Great Britain to sltofv that we never con
sidered for a moment that our nation re-
Euired us to inaiat upon the Withdrawal of
' ritiah troops before confrnting, to treat
for peace. We sent commissioners to
Ghent when portions ofloor territory were
in the possession of British troops ; and ll
was notorious that while negotiations were
going on at Ghent, hostilities were carried
on upon both atdea with unwanted vigor;
llle most memorable notions of the war ta
king place «her negotiations had been con
cluded. Such a preliminary condition to
negotiation cannot be cited in modern
times; at least Mr. Buchanan know: 0
none
He then exposes the unusual conduct ol
lMexico under another aspect The Pres.
Idem in his desire to avoid the war. had
sent a Minister to negotiate a peace. Even
after the war had commenced, by the at
tecit ol’the Mexican troops upon Gen. Tay
lor, the President had reiterated proposi
tions with a view to opening negotiations
which shou'd put an end to hostilities.—
He had declared to the world that he would
exact no conditions that were not honora
ble to both parties ; and yet the Mexican
Government had refused to receive tlte
minister sent to her a and after declining to
accede to the opening ofnegotiattons, Mex
ico had never made known upon what ba
sis she would, cement to a settlement of
the dtflerencee between the two Republics.
There will never be a termination of bar
‘tilities, Mr. Buchanan proceeds, ii Mexico
refuses ‘to listen to the overtures which
have been proli'ered. and which tend to the
rte-establishment of peace. ‘
The President will not. therefore. make
further overtures for the opening of negoli
ations until he has reason to believe that
such will be accepted by the Mexican
Government ; but nevertheless. such is his
desire for peace. that the evils ofthesrsr
shall not be prolonged one ’day later than
the Mexican Government makes it abso
luteiy necessary. Accmdtngly, to carry
his determination into effect, he has sent in
‘the quality of Commissioner. to the head
qualrtere'ol' the army in Mexico. Mr. N
l’. Triet. 'tirst clerk in the State Depart
ment. with full powere to conclude a treaty
of peacewith the United Mexican States
Mr. 'l‘rist is recommended as possessing
the full confidence of the President. and
Worthy ol that of the Mexican Govern
ment.
In conclusion, Mr. Buchanan forbeare
lro‘m commenting upon the closing passage
ofthe last letter from the Mexicnnminieter.
last it should gun to hie present _note a
lace conciliatory character than he desires
for it. He recurs with pleasure to enoth
er peerage in‘the same letter." wherein in
expreeeed‘the pain with which the'Mcxi
