There was not so good a prospect of peace as when thei
previous intelligence left. The state of Meximhas gicet
its vote for Gen. Herrera as President, he receiving la
out of 166 votes. It seemed to be thought that the re_:
cent treaty between Mexico and America would not re
ceive the sanction of that country.
The Irish throughout the states were holding meeting°
" for the purpose of giving a further Irish response to ll°
late news from Ireland."
The most conflicting accounts of the condition 0-
f
nezuela are published, and it is impossible to give crederl'm
to a tithe of the reports.
The other intelligence is unimportant, except the 101'
lowing telegraphic report.
