The Mexican Peace RumorS.

The Washington Union, in reference to
the rumors that mission from Mexico had
arrived in Washington, and that propo-
sition for peace had been laid before the
Senate by the President, says: a 4s-
awe are not advised that any nlessen.
ger has arrived from Mexico, or that any
overture has been made by her to the
Government at Washington. What pros
pect there may be for peace, and at what
period it may be effected, we cannot un-
dertake to conjecture; though it is certain
that the President will make good his re-
peated declarations to conclude peace, as
soon as he can do it consistently with the
rights Of the United States. But it is e.
qually certain that these public and repeat
cd illusions of the wings to peace, and their
desire to obtain it by relaxing the energet-
ic prosecution of the war, are unfortunate
ly the very worst means to secure the OBJ
ject we desire. five wish to obtain peace
and to secure the objects Of the war, we
must talk less and do more We must
prosecute the war with all our energies.
We must see our smaller vessels which
draw less water, arriving at the coast Of
Mexico, to which they are destined in the
gulf, to blockade the smaller ports, to seize
their small towns and cut off every artery
Of their commerce. The Mexicans must
see their ports in California seized and oc-
cupisd by our squadron and our troops
We must strike other blows at the Mexican
strongholds, and their troops, if they will
once more remain in the field TO measure
weapons with us. When Santa Fe, and
Coahuila, and Monterey are taken, or about
to be taken, by our various detachments,
and Mexico can see nothing but CONNER
cial distress on the soa coast-when she sees
California about to be lost to her, and her
strongest places in Upper Mexico about to
be occupied by our arms, she may begin
to calculate The costs Of the war, and to
manifest a more decided disposition to make
peace with US by direct negotiation. But
we repeat, the best way 10 secure a peace
is not by talking too much Of its attainment.
We must advance into her country, satisfy
her people by our kind treatment that
we do not go among them to plunder their
property, to abuse their religion, or TO vio-
late their liberties; but that SO long as her
government refused us justice, war--ener.
gotic, continued war is to be the fortune
Of her people. 1t is in this way only that
we are to obtain decided and perpetual
peace" ..,...-.>. ....r .,, s.n
