From the N. o. PIcsyune. 9Th
Upon recurring 10 day TO the accounts from Mex
10 we have again to remark that the representa-
6ons of the news made from Vera Cruz and from
paebla differ. From the former city the accounts
ne decidedly more favorable to peace than from
Paebla This is probably TO be explained by the
set that gentlemen ia Vera Cruz derive their I'M
orsssions very much from the English. who are
ware Of the efforts making by their Minister to
snag about negotiations for peace and prevent the
CITY OF Mexico from falling into our hands When
We have more room at our command, we shall nave
more to say about the probabilities OF peace; we
latent ourselves to-day by giving our readers
VERY facility for forming their opinions by the
,mpis correspondence we offer them. With this
view we present the following translation oil let
