Tho New Orleans P,cayune OF the 22d inst doubt. the
truth Of the brought that city by the
James L. Day. from Vera Cruz In regard the election
OF Herrera TO the Presidency, the advance of Gen. Scott
the Rio Fro and the proposition for peace said
have been received by him that place from the Mexican
Government. Tho letters from Vera Cruz, received by
that vessel far from confirming these mos, represent
that tidngs had been received from Gen Scott subse
qucnt to the departure OF the steamer Galveston which
brought intelligence that Gen. Scott still Puebla and
that there great doub, whether he would take up the
line Of march towards the City Of Mexico for weeks
Probably shall hear thing authentic from Washing
the subject, by this evenings mail il be that
the officer from the Army, who lie said TO ha passed
through this pace Monday morning, the bearer OF
the intelligence which he is represented have
municsted to person in this city.
The National also expresses the opinion that the
referred entitled credit and the Bulletin says
that although reports prevalent Vera Cruz when
tho James L. Day sailed from that port not much DEEPEN
placed in them there Another version OF the
rumor indeed, that although Herrera had been elected
TO the Presidency he had declined entering any nogo-
tiaion until the Government should be settled
and firm in power
IL has always, by the way, struck little re-
mnksb that the elevation OF Herrera power has been
confidently looked to, and apparently anxiousy de-
sired, furnishing something like guarantee for the
speedy restoration OF peace when remember that the
neeed dupcy of his conduct prior his expulsion
power by Parcdes relation the reception Of Minis
ter Mr. Sde, constitutes OF the alleged causes OF the
present In our opinion II is matter OF very little
however far the restoration of peace
concerned which OF the asprnnts to the unenvabe
post Of President Of Mexico shall be elected. II public
senmc that country should be in favor OF the con'in

getting rid of an obstinate Executive, who his will

that there should be such feversh anxiety manifested
&c, rid Of Santa Anna by tho very men, who, when his
own countrymen had driven him into exile, furnished him
with facilities il Inducements to return TO Mexico and
who while they in breath represent him as destitute

history of tho Mexican war; however teens with similar
riddles TO which impossible Tor the unniIaed furnish

cesscs of the Departments Washington, may be able
10 understand many things which utterly inconl-
prehonsible.
