IMPORTANT FROM MEXICo.

leucr has been received by highly re- specta5!e commercial house ia this city, from Vera Cruz. dated Sep.eHabei ,, which states that the Mexican Executive has rejected the over,aIes os our government for treaty ol peace, on the ground that the subject of neaee cannot ae treated of by the Executive wiihoai the sanction of Congress, and that the Congress wiIl not be in sassion iiH fhe month oI December
 We also hear from He sane souYce that ihe sisxicaa troops a, San Louis Poiosi have been ordered nos le march towards Monterey,
 Is an interesting ques,,en, to ho sosved by future adsices from Nexic4,, whether ihis rejection oi the osestnres of our Government WAS approved by santa Anna, and whether III iaci he was al the moment presiding over the Government.
 We believe the proposal of our Govera- mens involved no suspension of hoStilI,ies ,ill the conclusion and ratification of treaty. and isiis may have been the motive of ,he Mexican Government for rejecting tEse offer. The retee.,oa, however, is of no consequence and indicates no sign of the future course of the Mexican government unless II was sane honed by Santa Anna, who is probably al the head of the Goyernnent-.S O Csur.

We have oiica before expressed our opinion of Mir Bancroft, whom we regard as one of the most distinguished men of the United States. We believe shat his services will be emnently useful 10 his country wherever he may be placed, but we should learn with pe- culiar qualification lEat he had been selected as the representative of the American nation

Tppersonal considerations which would reflect high honor in France upon the ceanlry represented by him, and to a sound uess of judgment which raises him above the influence of prejudice or partialiiy. Mir Ban- croft anites that familiarity wiih our lan- guage which has now become indispensable lo an important diplomatic position and isi- iluence in Europe. This conaiderasion, sub- ordinate as il may appear to be, is, ,n fact, of great importance, and Il constitutes with as aS addi,ional reason for desiring that Mr. Bancroft nay be chosen to take the place ot Mir King ."---Usiea.
