posed the extraordinary courior which /
left Vera Cruz for Mexico on tho l2:h al
limo, n day in advance Of tho regular
courier was tho bearer Of instructions to
tho British Minister 10 offer again his me
diaton. and wo think We may safely say
that he was instructed to do so If possible.
before Gen. Scott entorcd the capital
We believe the instructions werc positive.
and no doubt ihoy wcro obeycd. We
think it reasonable 70 suppose TINT Gen.
Scott was influenced by knowledge of
the powers of Mr.. Trist TO negotiate
peace, and so spared tho Ncxicans tho HUI
initiation of tho armed occupation of their
capital. We may reasonably nope tina, the
prospects for poaco entertained by many
will be realized. These reports arc MI
confirmed by extracts from Mexican pa
pcrs.
