Important Intelligence.

Another special overland express for the Ne,o
York Herald, arrived yesterday with the follow
ing intelligence.
The steamer James L. Day reached New
Orleans, from Vera Cruz, on the 2lst inst She
left Vera Cruz on the 10Th inst, touching at
Tampco on the 18th and Brazos st. Iago on the
18th.
The most important part Of the intelligence,
brought by our express, is the fatering prospect
of peace.
Capt Wood, OF the James L. Day, states
that information had been received at Vera Cruz,
before the Day left, that Gems Scott and Worth,
with the main body of the army, had advanced
far as Rio Frio without opposition, and were
met at that place by deputation from the CAPT
tai with propositions of peace.
The exact tenor of the propositions was not
known. They were, however, of such nature
that General Scott refused to accept them, and
was determined to push on his forces to the Capt.
tai. 1t was thought, from the deep anxiety felt
by the new government, if the term government
can be applied to any party or power in Mexico,
TO stay the march of our forces on the Capital,
that further concession would be made to
General Scott, before he took up his line of
march from Rio Frio.
This intelligence give precisely as it came
to u.s. 1t is of the highest importance if true.
The remainder of the news centres
In the report communicated to the James
l.. Day, by Mr.. Clifton, the Pilot of Tam
pico, who boarded her on the 18th inst, off that
city. he states that they were in daily expecta-
ton OF an attack from the Mexicans, who were
reported to be 1900 strong, in the vicinity of the
city, on the night OF the 18th inst.
A demonstration was made by the Mexicans in
Tampico to rise; the American authorities, how
ever, had timely information of the contemplated
movement, and TO suppress il, If attempted, called
out the troops, who lay on their arms all night.
On the 10Th instant party of Mexican lancers
attempted the outposts at Tampco, and drove the
sentinels into the city. On the 16th party Of
rancheros attacked the Pilot station, and were
greeted by discharge from half a dozen mus
kets, when they retreated
The next news from the war quarter, will be
looked for with considerable interest.
IMPORTANT FROM BRAzL.-By the bark Cath
leen, Capt. Biffen, we are in receipt of Rio ia
Metro papers to the 23d ult., some IA days later
than our previous accounts.
The Houses of Deputies and Senate were
IN session. and in the message sent to them
by the minister for foreign affairs, the whole
liam Government and Mr.. Wise, is detailed
at length. The minister, after going over all
the facts, which are already known to the
public, distinctly states that the action taken
on this subject by the Brazilian minister at
Washington, was entirely disapproved of by the
Emperor, and would not be ratified. 1t is no,
mentioned, however, whether he is to be recalled
or not.
he la, L
ing this affair, save in an official manner Ir
the address made by the House of Deputies tt
the Emperor, we find the following passages -
"An occurrence which took place during the pas
year with the legation Of the United States the
oasion of the imprisonment of certain individuals be
of much pain to the House Of Deputies who
not consent to Danish the recollection of the offences
then received BY them until they are suitably repaired
crown and the national dignity
Again.
The House Is satifed that the government Of your
majesty will be charact rised by frank and energetic
policy that 1t remain at peace with all nations
without any sacrifice however of the national honor
and dignity. Your governments may count upon the
hearty cooperation OF the nation"
The which took place during the past
year with the United States legation regarding the i'm
prisonment of certain sailors belonging the men of
war of that nation Is very painful to the House Of De-
putes but this paid is much depated by the cerqintv
that majesty toH insist due reparotion for ali
these offences"
We see nothing mentioned about the Sarah
and Esther whale ship.
All this looks rather warlike, but we are per-
suaded the Brazilans are acting under some sim
gular delusion.
