Tur Wan WITH MEXICO. 1t appears from
Az, IT,, accounts received from Mexico, that
thu, country is distracted by factions, and that
roro,ntion must soon terminate the authority
or Paredes. Under present circumstances 1t Is
;r,nossible that she can offer serious opposition
n our arms. We say that it is impossible, be-
cause, in the first place, sufficient forces cannot
he "a ised-and in the next, if raised, they would
be more likely to turn their arms against the
existing rulers, than against the army oil the
United States. 1t is probable that our govern
ment is awaiting the issue of the internal dis
sessions of Mexico; not intending to do more
than to keep the troops under General Taylor
as an army of observation, antil the great dow
that which constitutes the principal, If not
sole object, of the war, is struck, VIZ: the cap
ture of Cali lernia. To accomplish this, vessels
and troops have been sent to the Pacific We
believe that peace could be Immediately made
with Mexico; but as it is the Intention of our
Government to seize and to hold California, it
would seem to be impohtic to do any act which
would produce 4 cessation OF hostllltIes, before
our troops and vessels have had time to make
a descent upon that coast Once in possession
Of California, we shall be in the humor to make
peace, and to forgive iniures-Provlded that
Mexico will yield us quiet possession OF what
we have acquired. The army under General
TAYLOR will have no more fighting to do, we
think, at least for sometime to come; because,
if he were to march promptly forward and ex-
hibit an intention to reach the capitol of Mex
co, it might produce peace, and thus defeat the
main object we have in view-tor, II peace
were rendered by Mexico under present crcum-
stances, upon fair and honorable terms, we
should want decent protext for insisting upon
her REIMBURSEMENT of California to us-but, let
US once get possession of that territory, and It
will require a stronger power than Mexico to
compel US TO loosen our grasp. Our govern
ment is practising russo de guerTe, by making
feint upon one side whilst the blow is to be
struck Oh the other. And that 1t will be sue.
cessfu we have 40 doubt, provided the Mexi
cans do not cry peccari too soon for its accom-
plishment

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Important .4lreSis. High Constable Clifford
and officers Gamble and Moon yesterday after
noon arrested a negro man named Alexander
Priggs, alias Giles on the charge Of stealing
two bags of coffee and box of segars from the
warehouse of Messrs. Johnson & Travers, COM
mission merchants, No. 81 Smiths wharf. 1t
appears that these gentlemen have missed at
various times during the last eighteen months,
coffee, segars, and other articles, but could get
no clue to the thieves. Yesterday morning a
white boy, who is employed in the counting
room, was detected in stealing a small article
of but little value. This Immediately gave rise
to the suspicion that he knew something about
the missing coffee and segars. He was &C.
cordingly charged with it, and after some little
hesitation confessed that himself and the above
negro, who is the drayman of the estab-
lishment, had been stealing coffee and segars
for some time past; and that the negro would
sell them, and that they divided the proceeds
An Irishman named Henry McNlahan, who
keeps grocery and feed store at the corner Of
Holland and Canal sts., and to whom the negro
said he sold the coffee and segars, was also ar
rested, and at first denied any knowledge of
the transaction, but when confronted with the
negro, recollected that he had made such pur-
chase. The negro was committed for trial on
the charge of stealing the coffee, and McMahan,
in default of 5 1000 bail, to answer the charge
ofrecelving goods, knowing them to be stolen.
The boy was released on security. Justice
Egerton WINS the examining magistrate.
Robbery at Paramount. The house known as
sFairmount," and occupied by Mr.. William
Ankle as a tavern was burglarousIy entered

following articles taken therefrom: Two clocks
box of cigars, rifle, loaf and half of SUI
gar, decanters with liquor. in, pitcher, a
bonnet and shawl, six shirts, five calico dresses,
a sheet and eight pieces of wearing apparel
The articles were recovered by watchmen
Williams and Schroeder, of the Eastern Dis
trict, who, in going their rounds about o'clock
discovered by flash of lightning two men car
rying off clock, which, on the approach of
the watchmen, they dropped and run, making
good their retreat The goods were taken to
the watch house, and on MIR. Hinkle proving
them to be his property, they were delivered
up to him by Justice Latournau. Efforts are
being made to find out the thieves,
To .4ppear al Court. Samuel Emmons,
charged with abusing and threatening watch
man Brown, of the Middle District, while in
the discharge of his duty, was yesterday morn
ing committed to Jail, to appear at Court, by

of the Southern District, while going his rounds
about II o'clock on Wednesday night, discov-
cred large chise lying on the pavement in
front of the dwelling of Mr.. Norris, in Hano-

the front of the house it was found that the

by the chisel. The Waterman apprised the
family of the state of affairs, who after a
