and both trains had arrived in Pero,ei which
place, a correspondent says, they were to leave

"We have seen a letter dated Mexico, July
Cd. The writer says that he does not doubt
that a treaty of peace would be concluded at
once by the Commissioners. He also says that
the Peace party has become SO considerable in
the Capitol, that he thinks that Santa Anna
(who is always on the side Of the STRONGEST
will soon pronounce himself in favor Of peace.
The Mexicans were still certifying the City Of
Mexico, but the means Of the government
were SO limited, that we do not doubt that it
will not be more than a days work for Gen.
Scott to demolish oil The Mexicans have done
in three months, in case they should show re-
~sistance.
GA letter from Puebla, which was written
several days before the express left that places
states that there had been some sickness among
our troops. We do not give our readers the
whole contents of this letter, because it is full
Of JUNIORS which had not been realized at the
latest dates"
According to information from the City OF
Mexico, received at Puebla on the Cd inst, the
day before the departure of the express, the
government had determined to appoint three
Commissioners, and that Don Manuel Edward
de Gorostiza, Don Manuel Baranda, and Jose
Maria Tornel, had been appointed to open a
conference with Gen. Scott, who, on his part,
had commissioned Mr.. Trist to the same effect.
In regard to Lieut.. Whipple, an account Of
whose capture will be found in the letter Of
our Vera Cruz correspondent, the Sun, Of Ana
huac, of the 18th INST, says: 'It is rumored
that Lieut.. Whipple, Adjutant of the 9Th In
fantry, who was carried off on Saturday even
ing last by a guerrilla party, was met at a place
named San Miguel de Medellin, and that he
was considered and treated as a prisoner Of
war. This, however, does not appear to US
very likely. When this was heard of, a de-
tachment Of cavalry was Immediately sent in
that direction, but we fear that he will not be
found. Much excitement still prevails here
on his account. At every hour Of the day ru-
mors Of different kinds are put in circulation
in this city, and we are sorry to see that too
much faith is put in them-especially by the
Mexicans, who are always anxious to start and
listen to anything that might be unpleasant to
the Americans. They boast too, Of the bold
ness Of the guerrlleros, and some OF them
pretend that guerrilla parties are every day
seen within half mile of the city. And
there is some truth in this. Lieut.. Whipple's
disappearance is a proof of it. He has been
carried off while he was within three or four
hundred yards Of the walls of the city"
Senior .AtochG.-This illustrious diplomatist
has written a letter to Ell Republican,, in reply
to the rather deprecatory remarks Of that jour
nal. The Senior concludes his epistle with the
following ominous, mysterious, and profound
ly interesting assurance, and fattering, en-
couraging, and sustaining endorsement of the
wisdom and honor of Mr.. Folks cabinet:
l cannot explain myself as it should be ne
cessary, to illustrate an affair of SO great i'm
portance, which ought to have been examined
with the greatest circumspection and spOring
consideration, previously to having declared
themselves against it in the high Terms which
have been used.
My intentions. have been always sound and
my wishes for peace the most sincere.
The conduct of the Government Of the
United States through ne is worthy of men of
honor and highly illustrated. hope that these
qualities may be appreciated in future times as
they deserve. There are no meanness, nor
treachery, nor b~aseness, nor i%niquity. There
is nothing in resume that may be c3nsured in
the least as lack Of honor in the man of both
countries, that could have any Intervention in
that question. When the moment will have
arrived, l hope to put it in its true point of
view. Those who may Judge it with a pru-
dent sense, may give their opinion, and this, l
expect with delight, will be favorable to me-.
The course Of time and events will be the only
argument 10 convince ignorance.
