THE CRISIS IN MEXICO.

We give below all the details OIL the important
intelligence received yesterday morning. Though
hurried and imperfect they show that things have
nearly reached ia head in our sister Republic. ~
The late President Paroles prisoner in the cia-
delof Mexico-Santa Anna in full power--Mon-
rerey in California captured by our squadron and
The whole OF California probably ready TO throw
of the Mexican yoke and come under The Ameri-
can Flag: here are elements enough Tor various
calculations as TO the actual position OF our at
fairs with Mexico Our readers may draw their
own conclusions. Our opinion is, that affairs
have now assumed 4 decidedly pacific CASTE
Santa Anna, ii will be seen, "prefcrs peace" ant,
we doubt not he will exercise his great influence
with The army and people 10 bring the war win
America 10 an end Fle has had iull opportunity
n feel the power and resources OF our peo-
pie and we are satisfied, ne has too much
sense and prudence 10 be willing 10 proiong
n disastrous war, which mus, snake Mexi-
CO 10 her centre. There is one other view,
which strengthens our opinion. Gomez Farias,
one of Santa Anna's most active and prominent
.dherents, is Eve learn from well.inlormed gen.
,leman) the distinguished leader of the patriots
or Federal party. He is zealously in favor OF
restoring the Constitution OF 1894, based like
our own on the tederalive system. TO attain
this important object, he will regard permanent
peace with us as absolutely necessary. How can
a great political reform be successfully orsanlz-
Cd while the talents and resources of the country
are engaged in fierce and desperate war With
powerful nation Peace, then, will be his aim,
md he will doubtless use all his influence with
Santa Anna and the Federasts 10 accept the
olive branch so magnanimously rendered by our
Government. What madness would 1t be IN Inc
Government of Mexico TO refuse the negotiation
Will continuance OF the war secure more Ia
yorable poslion7 Will j, moi, on the contrary,
crush Mexico TO atomsl Already California
has declared in our favor, and Santa Anna VIII
find j, to his interest 10 surrender all claim TO
portion of il, sufficient 10 indemnify rs Tor Inc
expenses OF the war, and TO establish liked and
permanent boundary between The two Govern
ments.
But 10 the interesting intelligence, which we
hail as full of peaceful promise. Il will speak
for itself. Every one will unravel for himself
The curious mysteries presented in some OF The de-
tails-ihe landing of Santa Anna in sight OF
our feet-lhe letter from the American Exon
sui Campbell introducing him TO Commodore
Conner, &c. These are minor matters. The
grand result will attract deep attention.
