' Lieutenants Tipton, of Indiana, and Sur=

Mx. Kendall represents ihe chances for
peace as unfavorable, but Says Scott will
marchimmediately on the atitivet of General
Pierce, certainly in the first Week in August,
and more than probably the hardest fight
yet will - tiSke place at the city 'of Mexico ;
that the Mexicans are p*pared. to meet
him, having all their ,fortiflaations comple
ted and twenty-five thousited men as the
garrison.
lie also statea .that the '',British legation
were secretly exerting *evei -influence, to
keep' - the Americans out of t he capital.
Other letters in the Picakune, represent
the chances of peace as more favorable, and
think that the resistance to ;Scott's advance
will be almost nominal. _I
The Mexican Congress had referred Mr.
Buchanan's letter back to The Executive,
and thrown on him the reSponsibilities of
the War. The peace party in the capital is
strong, and increasing rapidly. _They have
no faith in their Generals,
The Sun of Anahuet 'say's, in describing
the guerilla- attack upon Geti. Pierce, that a
body of 600 Americans approached under
a brisk fire until within a 'hundred yards
from the Mexicans, when ii . deadly fire was
Opened upon the enemy, &ming them' to
commence a hasty retreat. 1,
At this moment a , spirited charge was
made upon the retreating Mexicimp by the
American cavalry, in whieh at least one
hundred of.the Mexicans were cut to pieces.
The position occupied by the Mexicans was
one of the strongest in the cgiantry, but the
Americans passed the Bridge after this en
gagement and arrived in safety at Perote.
Gen. Scott despatched Gen. Smith's brigade
from Puebla to meet - him at Perote.
The Commercial Time considers the '
news a full confirmation 4 the failure of,
Mr. Trist's mission, and that all prospects
of peace were dissipated. ' , lts correspon
dence states that there has been a contest of
etiquette about constitutionalirights between
Congress and Santa Anna, each charging
the other with the responsibility of making
peace.
It is however shrewdly ,supposed that the
latter personage sincerely—desires the patch
ing up of the difficulties between the two
countries, as the sole means of obtaining
the grand object of his ambition, the Dieta
torship. When Congress wis dissolved, it
was done by the withdrawal Of such a num
ber of the members as to leaSe the • remain
der too few to form a guarani.
Santa Anna held a council of his general
officers, when it was resolved to try the effect
of another struggle, either by marching out
'to meet Gen. Scott at PueblaJor;rejectinethe
propositions of Mr. Trist, calmly to await
Scott's advince, and act upon the defensive.
In order to be free to act,;the government
has issued a decree, suspending the publica
tion of all the newspapers'except the gov
ernment organ.
The Delta says that Congress had met
and adjourned without acting on the peace
propositions of our Gtweriiment ; that all
their letters agree - in expreiiiring the belief
that Gen. Scott can take the: city of Mexico
.without difficulty, and the foreign residents
there are anxious for his ariival.
' Lieut. Whipple bad -arOved there ; he
was treated well, and expected to be ex,
changed shortly.
Coin. , Perry has witbdtawn his forces
from Tobasco, in consequence of the sick
ness prevailing there ; he expects, to re
turn when the sickly season is passed.
The Sun of Anahuac attributes his with
drawal to an overwhelming force of the en
emy being in the vicinity, :kind the fear of
an attack.
Gen. Almonte was in confinement at Tul
amingu. Gen. Alvarez was at the capital

Mr. Trist had been ind ilposed, but had

ed about 4 o'clock, P, M.
Sometime during the night .two of our
sentinels fired ; the long' roll was beaten,
.and we were in hopes that the enemy was
in our vicinity, but nothing More was heard
'and we went to bed again concluding that
the sentinel did not see any one. The next
aorning at• 6 A. M., we started; again, and
ter passing throngh the pass, we came up
on a most beautiful country—Cultivated to
the very tops of the mountains—indicating
near approach ? to a rich city. At about 2
r . M. we arrived at a large village called
mazoqua,, where we were quartered in
me large stables, and informed that we
ould remain there until the arrival of Gen.
P uitman's brigade. In these two days we
ravelled about 24 miles.
About half-past S on the 14th we beard
he drums beating and soon the information
ame that 4000 Mexican cavalry were in

Canal Commissioner, ;1
JOSEPH W: PATTON,
of Cumberland ea
The. Fews Palma Mesicii). I
We last week received intelligence, after
our paper had; gone rto press, drat den.
Scott had taken, the City of Mexieb, *Fit a
loss of 300 men: Late and authentic intel
ligence from the army proies the report to
be unfounded In fact. ' On the Ist ; inst.; on
ly eighteen der: since, as we learn . by the
Ledger of Monday last , Gen. Scott Was still
at Paellas, though it was generally belieied
that he would move in abbut a week &elfin: I
capital. Xi is reinforce Meas, including tliose
under Gen. Pierce, would reach. .him aliout '
that time. -.A battle is, expected, of course,
for the Mexicans seem, determined to' cem
plete the measure of their folly and bing
additional disgrace uponethemselves. ois
the worst species of infatuation that these
people should still persist in theirrstubbpra
determination to wage a war in which grey
have received nothing but defeat, and from
which they have nothing to expect but toss
of territory and possibly national ,anniktla
tion. Fair offers are thrown away upon
such a miserably deluded people, end it is
time that our government had ceased to mCke
them. The idea that the United States siall
be kept at war for years with such a nat on,
in the-end to relinquish the best part oft eir.
s,
all
and to pay the expeusestif a Con
test which Mexican folly has prolongeci, is
a little too preposterous,. and we hope . i Lhas
been so entirely eradicated by thislast re)ec
tion from the minds of the administration,
that it will never enter it again.
The followitig\extract from a- San Luis
Potosi paper shoWs how much theMexiCans
arc disposed fur peace. This is doubtkiss a
fair expression of the popular Ifeelin in
Mexico : - ,
"Peace with the odious Americans! Peace
with our assassins and hangmen !, 'Peace
with the slave dealers and the authors of in
fernal crimes ! ' Peace with those'whohave
brought death and desolation among Us—
with those who, have Sacrificed to, their hru-_
tal sensuality the honor of our women !
Peace with these citimihals, these Caiihs,
this 'horde of savage, beasts ! Peace frith
those, who have outraged liumanity,'
have in so many wayi trampled on the reli
gion; who have in every form violated the
rights of nations ! Peace withr those 4rho.
have conquered us and seek to ditihonorius!
No ! a thousand times no ! The blob'," of
our martyrs is yet wet upon the battle field ;
the flames whidh have destroyed our cities
are not yet extinguished ; our banners and
cannon are exhibited in the American capi
tal ; our peopte:have dot yet, come forth to
the strife; our internal discords yet exist.—
Lamentations and the, voice of woe, milting
from so many Mutilated, are now heard ien
etrating tbe \ profoundest depths of the Mex
ican heart. -With a voice of thunder, "IS•ith
a voice which is beard from Palo Alto and
Cerro Gordo, every thing cries accurselliof
God be the peace which insults us: l °War
without a truce, war vrithoitt ceasing, tinti
our territory is restored, our independebee
assured, onr injurietkindemnified, our unities
triumphant and victorious, our fortresses,
our flags and our cannon delivered. up, /the
honor of the country Sindicated, all foreign
ers chastised, the pride of the cowardly
Americans bunibled, *ho have treacherous-.
ly conquered us only because we have been
fighting one another in our domestic cpner
rels. War and nothing btu war , , ustiii see

Americans,until Gen. Scott, a pristmer,sitall
