 " He question Is idriclte; II Is, however, To be met-and settled. The the better"
 The Mexican Jnnla: il Is not improbable. Indeed. bn thal you may receive n proposition.

That which you regard as " rebuf' from the rulers of Mexico. appears to ms to have been the snrest, best, and only method To give 10 their sentiments their only efficient value, truth and force. IL might have seemed presumption for rulers 10 attempt action fnnsupparted by, or not based upon the suffrage of Il free people The heads of tue ndtlhn, 0eSlffuS To fHgeHeratc the Re public, commenced ny acknowledging the people the rulers ol Mexico.

Mir. Buchnnan's reply runs | thus:-

 '' ou mention articles ioI treaty, som. oi which lhe two Republics might reasonably agree lo with honor 10 both Eniie ely ignorant ol what those ar tices contain, can of course express opinion the subject
 :" l am pleased that you consider my comnunoa- ton 10 you kind and concilialory. It certainty so intended. Personally, have always sincere y regretted the existence ul the war: and now do stii more, because cherish the hope, llal under the Federal System, should il he honestly mantaned, Mexico may recover from all her mistoriunes, and her people may become prosperous and happy. II IS of the most unnatural events in history, that 'he two Republics winch might do each oier so much good in peace, should be engaged in war s3tl in exposition to your opinion, l must continue to believe that lhis forced upon the United States and know we engaged in II most reluctantly
 " For the character of Mexico throughout the world, thIs has had one good effect. No person can hereafter doubt inc vaor of her troops In every engagement they have pro.ed themselves be men.
