| The Baltimore Clipper" has drawn upon its
fancy ir place Of the facts" There is no secret
understanding" between Santa Anna and our gov
ernment. There is no "understanding, fnot an ex-
press stipulation, between Santa Anna and our gov
eminent, by which the former engaged TO terminate
the war between the United States and Mexico, as

the conclusion to which the Baltimore editor arrives
then, "that our forces will pause at Monterey, in
the neighborhood," &c, is altogether ehimerical.
The country will see and Mexico will feel that so
| far from recent events-so far from the return OF
San a Anna TO power, and the delay Of the Minister
Of Foreign Affairs in giving decided answer to our
proposition for negotiation, having parayzed our
arms, we shall display more energies, and put forth
more military means than ever. We shall not pause
| at Monterey. We shall not confne our efforts to
that point or to thatexpedition Mexico will deep
ly rue the procrastination Of her government.
Let the "organ Of foreign influences" cheer up the
Mexican government much as it may. II is only
deeevng her; and Mexico will repent her credulity
Let the National Integencer try to persuade her
that though her money has given out yet our
treasury too will soon be exhausted; that our own
troops are dying by hundreds on the banks Of the
Rio Grande, and thus saving her the necessity of
raising troops to our own in the field of battle.
The Iutelligencer is deeeiying the Mexcans. They
will find that we have sinews Of war su ufficent in our
treasury and snews enough in the field drive the
war home TO all her vulnerable points-and with
such people "a our own, in what part Of our die
tionary is the word "impossibity" written Let

The "True Sum-" Of New York, answers the argu-
ment by anticipation. The IntelIigencer took its
untenable ground for Mexico on Monday last
But the N. Y, True Sun" of Friday last, comments
| upon the report contained in "a letter in the
New Orleans Courier OF the 18th inst, under date
Vera Cruz, Sept 5 Il says, the Mexican execu-
tive has rejeete the overtures Of our government
m the ground that the subject OF peace cannot be
treated Of by the executive without the sanction of
Congress- That (says the True Sun) would be a
very plausible reason to mind, if the Congress
could act without the antecedent action of the exc
cuve. II must be evidently essential that the exc
| cutve Of Mexico should take some action previous
| TO the action Of the Mexican Congress He might
take action, and may, by national usage, adopt ac-
tion, subject to the sanction Of Congress The rea-
| son assigned, then, is not the valid one."
The 'True Sun" is right in guessing that Mex
ico has not absolutely rejected" our overture but
equally that its declining give any answer
at all until the Congress NEE s. argues turn for
prncastination, which is more congenial to Mexican
| diplomacy than to the policy of our arms. We do
not very well see, as the New York paper suggests.
why the Mexican executive might not "take some
| action previous to the action of the Mexican Con-
gress." At all events, let the course of Mexico be
dilatory it may, it will have no other effect
| than to augment our own exertions. Time, how
| ever will deveope movements.
