Private Advice. from Mexico.

Under this caption the Courier des Etats Unis OF
yesterday gives the substance OF some private letters
from Mexico, the contents OF which have been made
known to the editor of that journal Two OF these let
tiers are said to be written by Generals Santa Anna and
Almonte to a friend now in New York city The letter
of Santa Anna bears date al San Luis Poto OF the 9th
OF November and that of Almonte at Mexico, of the
2oth of November These are, so far know, the
latest dates received from those places We translate the
contents OF these communications stated in the Cour
rie having of course no other guarantee OF their gen.
uneness than is applied in their publication in that
well-informed paper. The Courier says:
The letter of General Santa Anna is in itself concu-
sve reation the mentioned in our last number
which represented Santa Anna having ieit san Lns
his route Victoria Such movement appears not to
have entered into his plans which, it is said have been
profoundly considered and prudenuy formed. He seems
confident their success, and says frankly, think that
now the probabilities strong in our favor His letter
breates throughout sentiment of dignity and of patriot
ism. ..a...
Gle expresses his firm determination proract the war
interminaby and the DEATH than accept but
an honorable peace. We believe however, that the Next
can general has much both of patriotism and Of sound
judgment desire treaty peace in which the honor
and the interests OF the two contracting parties shall be
alike respected In Judgment, MOREOVER such treaty
is not impossible, provided that both governments shall
really desire to effect it."
"Other letters which have been communicated to
emanang from persons well informed, though unconnected
with the Mexican administration that the army
of Santa Anna numbers between twenty and thirty thou
sand men, of whom thousand excellent cavalry.
The grea harmony exists between the influential men of
the country. A reconciliation has taken place between
Santa Anna and Rejon whom President Salas had COM
PEELED to resign his office The majority of the Congress
belong the fededtre party and Santa Anna persists in
his remuneration the presidency General Amonte is his
favored candidate The English minister has Withdrawn
the offer mediation lately made in the name of his gov
ment This etraction is probably to be attributed to the
reception which the offer encountered some months since
at Washn gton. ls #.@a. IS .= #:.#
sThe clergy who IL was hoped, were TO consent to
hypothecate the church property security for loan OF
two millions have refused their and the govern
en thus deprived of muchneeded resources has resolved
il is said to issue of 200 1900 piastres based
and secured ultimately upon the property OF the clergy
Some Havana letters that Santa Anna has threatened
to abandon San Louis, and retire upon Querearo, in
case the two millions piasres shall be sent TO him.
Santa Anna may be placed in great difficulty by the want
of the money! but OF his does not thus give
up the game" ag am @@. #..e#Ha
Whatever reliance may be placed upon the facts and
the views thus stated by the Courier thing at least
seems certain that any OF events tending TO intro,
duce into the Mexican some measure Of that
frmness and stability in which has been heretofore SO
deporaby deficient cannot but be favorable to the efforts
OF our government to bring about permanent honora-
| Bile, and satisfactory peace.
