THE ARMIsTIcE.

z.
tFrom tho Warrington Union, Sept. l6l.
The armistce Is forming the subject OF some discus
letter from it's editorial in tbs oame Of
the 26th of August stating that 1T has produced
vsrss in the army though in his letter
and admits that may lead to kind of peace u
We unwilling until receive fuller and Official ac-
cornts to discuss the question to cast ur
the General whose military services are receiving tho
thanks of the people But this undertake to say in
relation to the whole subject that It would be
fortunate Mr. Trist should permit the negotiation to
be spun out beyond the shortest possible
the very policy which the willy politician, santa Anna
would himself prefer for ralying and organizing his
msans and, under the same reservation, may add it
to be regretted that long period forty eight
hours after the negotiation Terminated has been
loved for the resumption OF hostilties.
ticans beginning discuss tho armstics and the
the 10th and 10th Of August The armstice was con.
cudsd on the oath The commissioners had their first
to have a third meeting on Monday the 3Oth August
We have no accounts a. late Is that day "This ar
mistice shall continue long the commissioners Of
until the commander Of either Of the said armies
shall give formal notice to the other Of the cessation
notice"
We have not the slightest disposition to PREJUDICE the
question, or to find fault with ony But much will
depend upon the energy Of the American Commissioner
Much, too, depends on thu American commander.
we shall wait with great ,nxisty for further news

made. II not made ut once let the fact be known and
let the war be pressed with all energy and be
brought to bear stringently upon Mexico As an
officer writes the 25th ITO get peace, may have
to conquer It, not to concate peace and to do this
We must conquer the people. We have almost had
enough OF conciliating to negotiate -
We understand steamer Ia TO be kept In readiness

transactions, and convey them to the government.
They may Of course be expected in few days Along
with this fact, this evenings southern mail brings
short note from the Generals camp conveying the fol-
lowing interesting intelligence Il reduces the number
Of killed, and shall be happy to have it con-
nrmed We give the extract as it comes

THE NEGOTIATIONS.
From the New Orleans Delta Sept. 10
cannot alssuss s our M that tho cir
plomatic discussion give promise the
result will be satisfactory to tho American people. We
pie OF this Union and especially entertained by
mander hicf of arms debating peace to the
whom the blame will fall, but We think the author and
proposer ofthe mode time and place, which have been
cutes with Mexico, will incur heavy and fearful
sponsiblity.
But alas that after all the glory and success of this
war-after whipping the enemy whenever and wherever
met him-aftsr penetrating into the heart Of his
country and most sgnay defeating his last and largest
ana cupaos OF that magnificent city In full view Of
army-that then and there Mr. Nicholas p Trist Chief
Clerk OF the State Department should be coseted with
one Mexican general and three lawyers to determine up
on the peace, which all promised the glory
OF this war demanded should be dictated to the enemy
In the grand plaza OF their capital
destroys forever the unity and finish of Mexican
Epc-it throws universal damper and freezing disap-
Pointment the national ambition makes us the
laughing stock of that envous old world whose awe and
respect we we're just beginning to arouse
TAcUBAYA, August 800 O clock
We still remain statu quo Mr. Trist has been In sos-
sion two days with Gems Herrars and Mora the COM
missoners appointed by the Mexican Government To
negotiate peace Matters, am informed are going on
smoothly between the Mexican government and its
agents aud our authorities but with the rabblo in the
city there's no telling have neither sense nor ren
son, and are governed entirely by their passions IL
would really be unfortunate IL any thing should occur
atpresent to prevent concluding the negotiations Our
authorities will remain passive until ceases
to be q virtue"
