publishes letter from Mexico stating that our enc
nv will make peace with us, if we do not press for

and audacity are equal to any emergency.

The Steamship Great Britain.--The Consignee
Of the Great Britain Mr.. Irwin, publishes in the New
York Advertiser a card in defence Of Captain Hos
ken, from the charge of ntemperance made against
him in the New York Observer. He says, after an
intimate acquaintance with him of eight years, he |
never knew man more manfesty superior to the
vicious propensity referred to, Of whom it might
be safely asserted that the charge in question
is utterly and in oil its parts untrue. His whole

and insist upon the whole energies Of the nation be-
ing directed to insure its early termination. National
honor, and not consideration Of dollars and cents,
will be the prevalent feeling in Congress.
EAsLEs.-Some Of the newspapers are aoloreous
about the beggarly condition Of the exchequer, and
have gone so far out of their way as to
ssert that there not money enough in the Treas
ury TO pay the clerks in the Departments at Wash
ngton! All we know-about the matter is, that last
