Correspondence Of the Journal of Commerce.
Washington, April 26th.


The prospect Of peace is fading away.
Gomez Farias will, as some think, unite
with Scott in war upon the Clergy and
Santa Anna--becoming, for the time be-
ing, an ally Of The United States. Santa
Anna, on the other hand, has, undoubled-
", the assurance Of some funds from the
clergy, and may calculate on the adhesion
of the army, and may even. before long,
conciliate large portion of the party OF
Gomez Farias-opposed 10 the clergy.
The resistance by Santa Anna will still be
perseyering, if not formidable.
Scott and Taylor cannot march to the
capital till they are reinforced. Meanwhile
Santa Anna will become prepared TO re-
new and continue the struggle, But sup
pose we occupy the Capital-what then
IL will not necessarily give us peace.
