dency of the Council, waited on his Majesty, and
notified to him that the appointment of that
personage, a declared enemy of England, would
give much displeasure to the Government of Great
Britain. That declaration had greatly em-
barressed the Greek Cabinet. Strange rumours
hare reached us respecting the last moments of the
unfortunate Minister We shall probably soon know
the conversation that passed between him and the
King a few moments before Greece lost so pure and
courageous a citizen. Coletti died despairing of the
accomplishment of his work, and if it be proved that
he expired before his hour wms come, it will he easy
to point out what Government of civilized Europe
was accountable for his untimely end. Yes, Coletti
despaired of his work. He no longer relied on the
support of France. The cowai dice of our Govern-
ment redoubled the pain of his agony. He beheld
his country left withaQt protection, and ,bandoned
to the intrigues of the English Cabinet—that
shameless and merciless creditor. His eyelids
were scarcely closed when King Otho wrote to
the Czar to demand his intervention against the
Porte, which was excited by England. This fact is
certain. It has been communicated to us by a cor-
respondent ix's° cannot and would not deceive us.
Alas! if it be true that on his death-bed Coletti gave
King Otho such an ads ice—if it be true that he saw
DO salvation for his country except in Russian inter-
vention—what a disgrace it cs ill he for the France of
July. But the France of July is governed by M.
Guizot, and M. Guizot, who has repudiated Poland,
who insulted her in her last struggle for independ-
ence, who in the question of Holstein betrayed
German liberty, whose contracted policy has roused
against us the hatred of liberal Spain, who ridicules
in the Journal des Debuts the endeavours making by
Italy to effect her social regeneration—M. Guizot, we
say, little heeds the anguish of Greece and the despair
of Coletti at that supreme moment !"
The Presse has the following on the subject of the
loan :

"It was reported yesterday that the Minister of
Finance had positively announced to several Members
of the Chamber of Deputies that the loan would be
indefinitely postponed, and that he had found means
to procure resources until the spring. The formation
of a committee of receivers-general, with M. Dela-
haute as president, to centralise the resources which
these gentlemen can offer to the Treasury until the
loan is effected, was also spoken of. The Minister, it
is said, in order to do without the loan until spring,
reckons on the disposable resources of the Bank of
France, of the Caisse de Depots et Consignations, and
of the receivers-generals."
General PRl➢i has left Paris for Catalonia ; General

It was reported in Paris on Monday that NARVAEZ
was expected to return in the course of the week; we
are, however, not inclined to attach much credit to
the rumour.

rim UNITED STATES
AND MEXIC-

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.

FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA,

OCCUPATION OF MEXICO BY GENERAL
SCOTT.—ARMISTICE BETWEEN MEXICO
AND THE UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
By the steam-ship Caledonian, which arrived at
Liverpool this morning, we have received New York
papers to the 15th instant.
The intelligence from Mexico is most important.
General Scott, after fighting two severe battles under

the walls of Mexico, succeeded in capturing the city.
An armistice was demanded by the Mexicans, and
acceded to by General Scott ; and when the last ac-
counts came away, it was considered probable that
Mr. Trist's proposition for peace would be enter-
tained. The following is from the extra of the New
York Sun of Sept. 10:
By another of the Sun's extraordinary expresses
from New Orleans to New York, we have received
intelligence that the City of Mexico has been taken
by General Scott, after having fought two great

battles with the enemy.
Our messenger came all the way through to
Philadelphia, the telegraph south of that city being
out of order. He brings the news in a copy of
the Picayune of the 3.1 instant.

The news was received at Vera Cruz on the 27th
ult., just in time for the steamer Fashion, which
sailed immediately for New Orleans, stopping at
Tampico on the 29th.
This is the most important intelligence received

from the war quarter since the commencement of
hostilities. Our arms have, as in every other in-
stance, been victorious. After two severe engage-
ments, almost under the very walls of the city. of
Mexico, our troops have entered and taken the city in

,riumph.
So soon as the fortune of the day was decided, the

Mexicans begged for peace—that our army should not
enter the city—but General Scott replied that they
were too late in their application.
The Mexicans have been brought to tents and
now supplicate a suspension of arms.
General Scott has granted an armistice !
Congress has been convoked to take into considera-
tion the peace propositions submitted by Mr. Trist.

. _
The above news was received in Vera Cruz on the
evening of the 26th of August, by our express carrier
from Orizaba.

Our express courier brought down a letter to Mr,
Dimond, the consul at Vera Cruz.
We are indebted to Mr. Dimond f,,r the use of this
jotter. It is substantially as follows :

Orizaba, Aug. 25, 1847.

My dear Friend,—The Mexican mail, which has
just come in, brought the following intelligence,
which I copy from the Diaro Official del Gobierno,a
great importance.
I send you this express courier, which will be
with you to-morrow about twelve o'clock. On the
20th two brigades, commanded by General Valencia
and Santa Anna, went out to attack the Americans
near Las Calm de San Angel. Valencia's division
has been completely defeated, and Santa Anna, after
the first encounter, fell hack also in disorder to the
city. They immediately after this asked for a sus-
pension of hostilities, and offered to hear the propo-
sitions of peace from Mr. Trist.
Another express arrived in Vera Cruz on the
20th, with letters containing the same news in sub-
stance, and the following translation of the announce-
ment of it in the Diario Del Goberno.
Translated from the Diario official Del Gobierno
of the 20th of August, General Scott's troops, who
intended marching on Pinon, turned at and arrived
near Tacubaya.
As soon as the news was known at Mexico,
Valencia's division went out to attack the Ameri-
cans at Los Lianas De San Angel, and were coin-
pletely routed.
Next came Santa Anna with another division,
which shared the same fate.

After some hard fighting the Mexicans retreated
to the capital in great disorder, and such was the
panic created by their defeat that the Minister of
Foreign Relations immediately convoked the Con-
gress to take into consideration Mr. Trist's proposi-
tion. A suspension of arms was demanded.
The next day the Minister of Foreign Relations
invited the next Congress, through the newspapers,
to meet for that purpose.
These are the great facts which, no doubt, will
bring after them peace.
It is now suppo,ed that the extraordinary courier
which left Vera Cruz for Mexico on the 12th ult.,
a day in advance of the regular English courier, was
the bearer of instructions to the British Minister to
offer again his mediation, and we think we may safely
