It waa rumor ed that tb contest of bia communication made peaee inevitable tbat the Coogrea and Santa Anna were disposed le aciee to anything in or der to insure it; now, whit I am writing, intel ligence ha come in from wbicb it would appear that there ia no earthly chance for an amicable adjustment of our difficulties. From all accounts, it wonld appear tbat Santa Anna ann' Congress are at sword' points, and that tbe former haa all the advantage over the constituent wisdom ot tbe great and nnacnanimous Mexican nation. It my be recollected that aome two months since Congreaa passed an act declaring any one a trai tor wbo would even entertain the ida of a peace withT the American. So far ao good. When Santa Anna received Mr. Buchanan's last propo aitions, a few weeka (ince, be at once submitted them to Congress for that body tu act upon the matter in the premises ; but what did Congress do bet aend tb paper back with an answer Ihst tbe initiatory steps belonged exclusively to tha Exec alive.

That bs thought they would do thia, and thua give him all and every power, ia highly probable; but Congreaa took a stubborn fit, and here the whole affair real for the present. I do not even aa who is to deien oiler an answer to Mr. Buchanan's propositions, wbicb eeem to have been transfer red into a apeeiea of foot -ball to be kicked back ward and forwards by Santa Anna and the Con gree neither party, in the present distracted state f tbe eaumry, daring to lay banda upon tbe nfortanat docasneot.

It being IbunJ Impossible to' receive lotbng from tbe United State, bandied of Mexican are hard at work potting our men in uniform.' Some even think that the army will move before General Pierre cornea up, but It ia bardly probable that Geo. Scott Will march before that officer get within one or two daya marrh. ' At leeat ISOO of tb eick will be left behind, but a majority of them would be in a sit oat ion to take up arme in case the gsrrison wss attacked. Speaking of sickness, tbe South Carolina Regi ment.has suffered more than any other in the ser vice. This was not expected. It waa thought that the Northern regiments would tnfTer most hereaway in the tropica, but the New Vorkers and Sooth Carolinians have been, at it were, aide and aide, and the former have bad but few cases or? the sick list comparatively. The South Cyo liniana, oHt of 900 strong w hen first mustered, now turn out but about 400. Of the other 300 some 1 10 have died, 200 have been left sick in the rear," and the rest are now in hospital here. The health of tbe regiment ia improving, bow. ever, and many are convalescent. '" ' Yours, &e , ' C. W. K. PrxaLA, Maxico, Joly 30, 1947. In relation to tbe movements of the army, I can give you no other than, tbe impression that General Scott wilt march immediately cm the ar rival of General Pierce. The men , composing the divisions of G- ns. Worth and Twiggs, are probably better soldiers than any at present in the world. In the first place, the material ia e- qual, if not euperior, to any; they are equally well di illed; have the best officers to lead them; and, what is of the greatest importance, a great' portion of them have bee la the front raak of battle in numerous fights. ' ' .,v ' Nor is tbe diviaioa of Grneral Quitman, which will doubtless take an active part iu any opera tions yet to take place, much behind the others. The regiments composing : it, the New lork, South Carolina, and first and second Pcnnsytva- have been long enough in the field to become well drilled, while fteptoe'a admirable battery ia attached to it. The army tbat will ett down efore Mexico will be the atrongest and best ap pointed we have yet had in the field, and, let tbe Mexicana fight a thfly will, tbe result of any con est that may take place cannot be doubted. Capiea o tbe D'ttrio del Gubirrno up to the "tb iust. bave been received here. It ia the on 1 paper now published at th capital, ai d eon- aina little aave government orders and deireea, or ait idea published under ihe express sanction of Santa Anna. In one of the Utter th editor aika tbe people not to forget their great and glo- ions victory over "los Yankees'' on the trium phant field of Euena Vista, nor tbe three pieces of cannon and the standard then and there tsken from Geneial Taylor ! He himself has piobabty entirely forgotten th seven or eight hundred cannon eapteredVrom hi countrymen within th last eighteen months, a well aa tha flage innu merable tbat have been sent on to Washington. ' I muat close tbi letter with a few speculations of my own. There i now every indication tbat tbe army will move uno tha capital in tbe course of the coming six day, and it ia more than probable that tbe hardeat fight yet will beat th city of Mexico this it the eyjnion of the majo rity. , Santa Anna, however, much as be may be averse to it, ran hardly avoid a battle, although he wtll still creep out of it if possible. No one not ia all the aeereta can know anything with ceitainty, but there are yet strong reasons to be lieve that the Fnglish legation ia exerting every influence to keep the Americana out of the capi lal, and to effect thia Santa Anna haa been tam pered with, and golden ahowera, of American coinage, mind you, bave been made to riae before him. The English do not want to see os in the city of Mexico ty have Interest of their ewn to subserve, and are fearful the American hold upon thia shafWred Republic will be too strong to be shaken off except to tbeir great detriment If aa immediate peace ia mad, why tbeu tba United Statea rau help beraelf to auch portion of Northern Mexico aa tb may covet, while Cog landwill com in at tb seulhein extremity and lay bold of territory to their hrart'a content. Tbe obstinacy of Congress, tha deep hatred of the Mexicans and American, and tba alight hold Santa Anna haa npon tba people, may, and pro bably will, prevent hia own schemes and those of th English from being carried out the com ing fortnight will tell tb story, ffo wonder tbe English are anxious to see this wat brought to a close, for it ba already proved most disastrous to their heavy mercantile interests in tba ceun try, and it continuance most beaten its alter ruin in more way than one. , Difficult at it i to gat lettera ofT t th reast I thall con t inn to ttmpt it, far th event o the coining month most be pregnant with iata rest. , Your, fkc, . , O.

To-morrow, we expert to have an, engagement with a (upertor Mexican force, and, on tb eve of the battle, I bave thought it proper to address you a few lines. -A you are well aware, the object nearest my heart, j tbe welfare of my little child t and, to far at I have been able, I have provided for her. My wages, to the amount of S380, are due from the Government ; besides a small aum owing me, as well as the contents of my trunk, and tha books and tbe other articles I may own, I have, in a memorandum in" my trunk, left to her and pla ced the whole in the charge of Capt. Baker, to be forwarded to you in case 1 abonld a all of which I doubt not you will most religiously see appropriated to her use, at may eeem fit and proper by you and mother. And now, with respect to the child: ahould f fall I leave her entirely with you and your wife t bur I have writjea to my brother, requesting him to throw hi brotherly protection over her ; and if, at any time, you think fit to tend her to him, he will receive her as hia own child, and protect her aa auch. Should abe remain with yon, I wiah that (he shontd receive a' good an efaea. Hon st the little metns left her will afford ; and, above all things, teach her that feM and virtue are to woman what tbe tout ia to tbe body tbe life of itt life. :, Teach het that to be just to all in thought in word in deed, ia the true the great aim of a good mind ; and those wbo strive to accomplish that pnrpnse seldom fall to live at peace witn the world, and accomplish the "Great Destiny" for which they are created. I wiah to aay a theuaand things more a boot her, and my wishes for her. but that would be superfluous, so I will revert to other subjects. In death at in life, ever your, i E. F. FLETCHER.
