The accounts from the interior of Mexico give a very unfayorabe description of the state of the country At the capital the government is convul- sd by political intrgues and threatened daily with revolutionary projects. The finances are in terrible disorder, and the army distracted by dissensions among the leaders, and suffering for the want of provisions and money. Sickness is said to prevail to an alarming extent; and in the midst ofal San ta Anna, who was be the rallying point for the enthusiasm of the nation, is object of jealousy and has been compelled as is reported, to quit the army suddenly in order 10 repair to the capital to confront opposition and attempt to produce some order there
 Such is undoubtedly the state of affairs under which the new Congress is about to meet and, we find that the existing authorities have been taking measures to induce our government 10 suppose that peace may be negotiated by that body. The cores pondence of MT. Buchanan with Mexican agent, Inysteriously published in New York, is recognized as authentic, and it corresponds with the informa- ton said to have been given by Gen. Ampudia to Gen. Taylor at Monterey, as nducement fol granting the armstice, that commss oners were engaged in negotiating for peace. 1t contains the very distinct assurance that the propositions of oui government are not considered as rejected, but merely referred 10 Congress as the only proper au thorty to treat We place no reliance the faith of the Mexicans and give as little credit to these vaunting proclamations of heroic determinaton.- They are not the less likely to agree to terms O peace tomorrow, because they solemnly swore yes terday never to yed and they will be just as ready aI ,i ,l,a ,lo which may lnflate them with the hope of victory although they may have agreed to lay down arms and submit to terms of peace. But they are not SC utterly demented to suppose that even in state of union amnnH ihemselves with nrosperous finan. ces, they can finally res st the tho U. State. and reconquer the territory which has been aread, wrested from them, and is now fully occupied by oui troops As they are dislrusted and impoverished i, is not unreasonable to calculate upon their willing ness to accept moderate terms and yield at least the original subjects in controversy. The question was one of boundary and indemnity, pushed on 10 war by the obstinate aggressiv veness of Mexico, who would never acknowledge the fact that she had ir. revocaby lost Texas-but continued to violate the rights and property, and insult the government ol the United States. Itis scarcely doubtful, we think now that Mexico, if left 10 herself and fully convin- ced that she has no party in the United States to help.her by dlsracting our counses and paraysing our exertions, and fully convinced that onr whole strength is ready to be put forth against her. will listen to moderate and magnanimous propositions And we trust that our government will be moder- ate and magnanimous- relaxing not a nerve in the putting forth of power enough to command I d upon il as the means for securing an honorable and sure peace, and making 1t by confining it's de- mands to exact justice.
 1.-the effort which IS evidently making to bring the Mexican Congress to terms be conducted in that temper we are not without hope, and some grounds for belief that it will be successful.
