The Mexican War-Ofrers OF Peace-English
Mediation, and English Opinions.
In another portion OF today's paper will be
found extracts from English and Canadian pa
pers in relation to the Mexican war. The OPT
Mons expressed in these extracts, most of them
adverse to the United States, tend to pfove that
our quarrel with Mexico, and our military opera
lions in that country, have made a greater i'm
preston on our English brethren, than they are
willing to acknowledge. The contempt with
which our Canadian neighbors treat our victories
on the Rio Grande, only serve TO show the i'll
concealed chagrin that those victories have
caused them.
This disposition TO underrate our victories and
everything appertaining tous, savors somewhat
Of TOO oiicous loyalty to the British throne, on the
loyalty were 50 much suspected that they were
obliged 10 go out of their way to abuse every
thing republican, in order to maintain show of

those Canadian editors will be the first to ask to
be annexed to the United States, but we do not
think can receive them until after severe pur-
CATION for the many naughty things they have
said of US. We may take their case in hand in a
year two.
We have the assurance that England
has sent out instructions 10 her Minister at Wash
ington, 10 offer her mediation between our 60.
vernment and that OF Mexico. We have also
positive information that Mr.. Bankhead the
British Minister at Mexico, has received in
structions from his government to signify
10 Paroles the intention OF Great Britain not to
interfere in the quarrel, in the capacity OF parti
zan. IL Is therefore highly probable that Paredes,

known 10 have been despatched from Vera Cruz
10 Pensacola, with dispatches Of the utmost inn
portarce for our government, and il is not i'm
probable that she bore oycrtures OF peace from
the Mexican Government. The fact that Paredes
is raising an army, is not at all incom pa,ble with
the truth Of this surmise. His Preparations are
most likely intended to check the attempts of
some other chieftain TO get up revolution against
him, though ostensibly for the purpose of prose-
cutting tie existing war with the United States.
What strengthens this surmisc j., that Paredes
has left Gen. Bravo rs president PRO tenn, in his
absence, no doubt with full powers to negotiate n
peace. This will relieve Paroles from the awk-
wardness that would necessarily attend such ne
gouaton carried on on his part, he having ridden
into power on the popular prejudice against the
United States, and because of his expressed de-
termination TO prosecute the vigorously.
Taking all these circumstances into consideration,
II ls extremely probable that there is even now
project on foot TO bring our Mexican difficulties
10 an amicabe adjustment.
We find by the English papers of the last dates,
that anabSurd rumor was circulated on Change

strange that such rumor could have gained Gre

vigorous prosecution OF the war with Mexico, she
wants no one to take up her quarrel. 1.-THE English
