We are in receipt, by our exclusive
overland pony express Of a slip from. the
Office Of the Mobile Herald and Tribune,
issued on the afternoon Of Monday laat,
which furnishes us the annexed imp ortans
intelligence. 1t will be seen that matters
are now drawing to focus, and that the.
prospects of peace are Frightening. Ere
this, Gen. Scott is either in. the Halls Of
the Montezumas, or else he has been kept
back bS the acceptance Of such terms Of
peace as he may have proposed to the Mex.
leans.
The following is the slip kindly furDishr
ed our express agent by our friends of the
Mobile Tribune and Herald.
The steamer James L. Day arrived at
n. Orleans from Vera Cruz on Monday

Cruz on the afternoon Of the 10th inst.

the l7th, and Braxos 81. Jago 90 the af-
,ernoon Of the 18th.
Her news i, one day later, and weeara
Indebted for it TO the Delta Office. The
main interest excited by this arrival,
[says our slip centres in the report com.
r,nuica ed TO the James l.. Day, by Mr.!
Clifton, the pilot Of Tampico, W no boarded
| her on the Eth off that city. He stated
that they we're in daily expectation Of at.
tack from the Mexicans, who were rs>,
ported to be Is. strong In the vicinity Of
the city.
On the night Of the 18th instant, a de-
mons,ration was made by the Mexicans
in Tampico to rise. The American au~
,hori,ies, however. had timely informa.
,ion Of the contemplated movement, and
to suppress it. attempted, called out the

they reireated.
The barque Mary, of Baltimore, put in
to Tampioo on the 10Th inst.f supplies
and repairs. She was bound for Vera
Cruz with 2l0 volunteers, which she land
ed at Tampico.
The most important part Of the intelii,
gsnce brought by this arrival is the fate
IerIng prospect of peace. Capt. Wood Of
the James l.. Day, informs US that infOrma.
| tion had been received at Vera Cruz be-
| fore the day left, that Generals Scott and
Worth, with the main body Of the army,
had advanced as far as Rio Frio, without
opposition, aud were met at that place by
deputation from the capitol, with pro.
positions for peace. :
The exact tenor ofthe propositions was
not known; they were, however, OF such
nature, that Gen. Scott refused to accept
| them, aud was determine ed TO push on hiss
forces to the capitol. From tho 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 capitol, it was
| thought that further consessions would be
made to G eneral Scott before he took up
! his inc OF march from Rio Frio.
