The Chances for a Peace
The prospect Of immediate treaty with Mexico,
though highly fatering Is sti matter Of doubt
and uncertainty Has Santa Anna the absolute control
Of the government of Mexico well of the army
Do the church and the army eoasce Does the church
agree to disgorge II these nterrogatories met with
affirmative response, then may very safely
that there will yet be another battle two before
shall have conquered peace But II appears that the
church is predominant with the assistance Of Santa
Anna and that he is at the head OF the
tanned by the church It'll notorious that the churob
next to its treasures In heaven boards and loats Ike
miser over Its treasures upon earth LAY not up for
yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
doth corrupt and where thieves break through STEAL
but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, &C.
is Of the inunctions of Christ which the Church
of Mexico like other churches has failed carry
out in practice however faithfully they have preached
it. They have laid up treasures upon earth and now
that thieves about to break through steal they
are interpreting pixies and bayonets to prevent the
threatened sequestration. Gomez Farias like true
and fearless patriot bent upon throttling OF
their gold from them to pay in part the expenses Of the
army In its Efforts to expel the heretcs Of the North
submits But the war cannot be prosecuted against
the Yankees without money. The treasury Is
haustcd-private hbcralty is cxhausted-the resour-
ces Of the treasury are stopped-thc Government
cannot borow-it has no money, and yet IL cannot
tight without money or course the church has good
lot of dead capital in church treasures church
ments church property, and cash Hence, there
must make peace at once, the church must dis
gorge Upon this alternative rest presumption Of
peace. We suppose that the nvaricc Of the Mexican
clergy Is their first and strongest charactsrsticthat
they would their government sacrificed rather than
part with their gold and silver their goods aud chattes
and haciendas and rancheros &c II Santa Anna there
fore expects the good Offices Of the clergy, he will de-
clare for peaceand they will sustain him; II not, he
find employment in civil rather uncvil revou
tion until the combined armies OF Generals Taylor and
Scott laundering at the very gates Of the Montu

And may confidently assume that when Santa
Anna cries, hold enough" let's negotiate and
sign treaty, and pay him the three millions and
withdraw armies to defined line that there will in
tervene considerable period Of profitable peace TO Mex
leo from the evidences she will recolloct Of
her utter ncapacity with all odds and all advantages
her favor Of coping with tho of the Round
heads the cavaliers, and the uguenots Of the United
states The fact H. relously believe this against
Mexico to be provdental punishment for her manifold
sins and transgressons against the world against
against the United States against
herself She has had indeed all sides a terri
bic and complete thrashing and we have idea that
she will forget II i'm hurry when she signs you
treaty of peace.

have to do IL to tell Capt Bragg to give them ltte
