United States are quite able 10 settle their
differences with the Mexicans wilhou! in
tcrvention {; if they are not, the race has
sadly degeneTated since the days OF Wash
ington and The battle CT New Ofleans.-
The Standard OF last night has the follow-

The statement made in the London
Morning Herald, that ministers have de-
termined 20 offer mediation of the British
government 10 arrange the differences be
tween the United Safes and Mexico, is
the most important news Of the morning;
and has excited much interest. The in
tention 20 tender this mediation was com>
municated 10 the diplomatic representatives
of the two states yesterday, and the neces-
sary powers will be forwarded to Mr..
Packenham, our Minister at Washington,
by the Caledonia steamer, which will sail
from Liverpool TO. morrow morning.
Measures will also be taken to have the
proposition made to the government Of
Mexico with the least possible delay. Ii

versaI hope is. that the mediation should
prove successful for, independent o! The
desire for a speedy settlement on the COM

apprehension ieit, that if hostlIities were
protractsd, the maritime states of Europe
would run great risk Of being involved in
the quarrel.
