British Mediation.

A Washington letter in the New York
Courier and Enquirer, dated the 22d inst,
says s." 1t is certain that the British Min
lister is exerting himself to the utmost to
induce the government of Mexico to accedc
to our prof1ered terms of peace, and that he
has hopes of success even before the cap
ture Of the city, although he regards the
prospects as better when the city shall have
been taken, especially if there shall be an
other battle in which Santa Anna will be
disgracefully beaten, and probably seek
shelter by becoming voluntary prisoner
of Gen. Scott"

Mr.. Editor Permit me to correct a
mistake which your correspondent ''T." has
made, in supposing that intended to notice,
in flattering manner or otherwise, his "rc-
cent attempt to instruct the people" Twas
not, even, aware that he had made such an
'sattcmpt."
regret that it is not in my power to ac-
cept his "profound acknowledgements" as
in so doing, 1 should feel that was recei-
wing that which was not my due; but at
the same time, let me assure him, that I do
not the less appreciate the grateful feelings
which prompted himto offer them.
In return, l would embrace this opportu-
nifty to tender him my own "profound ac-
acknowledgements for the very "Gotterims"
compliment, paid me in the high estimate
'',ics he has placed upon, what he is plea
sed to term, my claw, lore, and logic 5" but
unfortunately, I am sorry to be under the

"'n .'o' oe sufPls~d that cannot consent
that he should for my benefit, "submit. %
