IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

| A letter (says the Courier Of last EVENING" ha
| been received by highly respectable eommercla
house in this city from Vera Cruz, dated Septembe
5, which states that the Mexican executive has re
leeIed the oyertures Of our government Tor treaty
Of peace, on the ground that the subject OF peac'
cannot be treated Of by the executive without the
sanction of Congress and that the Congress will no
be IN session till the month Of December.
We also hear from the same source that the Mex
lean troops al San Luis Potosi have been ordered
not 10 march towards Monterey.
IL is interesting question, TO be solved by fu-
ture adviees from Mexico whether this rejection Of
the oyertures Of our government was approved ny
Santa Ana, and whether, In fact, he was al the mo
ment presiding over the government
We believe the proposal of our government in
yoyed no suspension of hosulities till the conclusion
and ratification Of treaty. and this may have been
the motive of the Mexican government for rejecting
the offer The rejection, however, is Of no conse-
quenee, and indicates no sign Of the future course
Of the Mexican government, unless It was sanction
ed by Santa Ana, who ID probably at the head Of
the government.
The Pieayune publishes the above statement from
the New Orleans Courier, and addsi
'fhe Courier seems 10 think il doubtful whether
this rejection Of the oyertures Of our government
was approved by Santa Ana, and whether, in fact,
he was, at the moment, presiding over the govern
ment. The representations which have been made
this subject, both verbally and by letter, are
to the effect that Santa Ana actually in the city
Of Mexico, and really though not ostensibly, con
trolling the action Of the government This we
stated yesterday but have aimee SEEN in the Mobile
Herald, letter which says that Santa Ana was still
at Jalapa.
"Howeyer this may be, we cannot doubt, upon
reperusing letter which we received on Monday
from an officer Of the navy, that General Santa Ana
does, in fact control the government Of Mexico. IT,
however, any advantage can be gained by him here
after, from disavowlng the course which General
Salas and the Mexican cabinet have pursued, Santa
Ana is precisely the man TO make such disavowa.
He is monster Of dupiciy, and his affected reluc
tance to assume the reins Of power at and open
ly, may be a subterfuge, by which to escape from
the fulflment Of pledges which he has given. That
this reluctance is affected, is false and hollow, we
have doubt; the only question with is, who is
To be made the victim Of his duplicityH
