Importnnt from Mexico.

The Pittsburgh Gazette has a tele-
graphic despatch from Philadelphia, CIV
ing the substance of letter from Mr..
Buchanan to the Mexican Government,
of which copies have been received at
New Orleans. by a very late arrival. Mr..
BIS letter is dated April ID, and &c.
knowledges the receipt Of a letter from
the Mexican Minister dated Feb. %, de-
clining to accede to our proposition to
send commissioners 10 Jalappa, or some
other point, for purposes of conference,
until the blockade Of the Mexican ports
should cease, and our army should evacu-
ate its territory.
This position Mr. B. goes into an ar
gument to combat; he cites instances to
show that, very often, hostilities were ac-
lively conducted while negotiations were
going on; he asserts thati t would be puer-
lie in US to relinquish the ground we have
had so much troutlo to gain; he refers to
the repeated attempts, by the President,
to conclude an amicable arrangementof
all difficulties, all which had proved in
vain,-The President, he said, was anx-
ious to see the two Republics friendly,
and that the Mexicans should adopt such
institutions as prevail with US. The con-
Guiding portion of the summary, in the
Gazette we quote as follows:
There never will be q termination of
hostilities, Mr.. Buchaunan proceeds to
say, if Mexico refuses to listen to the
overtures which have been proffered, and
which tend to the establishment Of
peace. The President, therefore, will
not make further overtures for the open
ing of negotiations, until he has reason to
believe that they will be accepted by the
Mexican Government. Nevertheless,
such is his desire for peace, and that the
evils ofthe war should not be- prolonged
even n day later than the Mexican
Government makes it absolutely neces.
sery he has sent in the quality of Com.
missioner, to the headquarters of the ar
my in Mexico, N. P. Trist, Chief Clerk
of the State Department, with full power
to conclude a definitive treaty of peace
with the united Mexican States.
Mr.. Trist is recommended as possess
ing the full confidence of the President
and as worthy of that ofthe Mexican gov,
eminent. In conclusion, Mr.. Buchanan
forbears commenting upon the closing
passage of the last letter from the Mexi.
can Minister, lest it should give to hi'
present note a less conciliatory character
than he desired for it.
The Government paper Of the 2Stl
June published a note from the Minister
addressed to the Mexican Congress, re
ferring to them this despatch of Mr.. Blu
chanan.

BADNESS AND LOSS OF HAIR is caused
by a want Of healthy action in the vessels which
throw of the perspiration from the head. When
these vessels arc weak or diseased, the perspirO-
ton is thick and clammy, and adheres to the
mouths of the pores, and clogs them up, and dries
and forms scurfand dandrut. Less blood is then
carried TO the roots of the hair, and for want OF
which the hair has not sufficient nourishment, and
consequently becomes dry and harsh, and begins
insensibly to fall of, which continuing to increase,
eventually produces badness. Restore tho cop
pillary vessels ofthe head to their former healthy
circulation, and fine silky neW hair will make its
appearance, which will increase in quantity. and
volume. until the hair becomes thick and healthy.
Jayne's Hair Tonic is the only preparation that
has ever been known to produce new hair on
bald heads, which it has done in mnumerable in.
stances. and will seldom fail ifproperly and per-
severingly used.

NichOIns z. Trisl.

This busy body fu~nctionary, who has
been sent TO Mexico by Mr.. Polk, as a
political agent, to try the effects of the
three millions of secret service money
voted by a subservient Congress-, was
formerly our Consul at Havana, and at
one time private Secretary to General
Jackson. Heis mi Of the ~grandsons lin
law of Thomas Jefferson, and has been
long remarkable for thorough-going sub
servience to the slave holding interests
in the South, injure whom it might. He
is the author Of a thick octave written in
the defence Of the perpetuation of the
slave system, which Congress printed as
an official document. Whoa at Havana,
where no cleared upwards Of $2O,000 a
year, he was charged with q series of ty-
rannical acts, among them the imprison-
mont Of Capt. Wendall ofMass. in a dir
ty cell among felons, because he would
not advance three months wages to very
drunken mate who had deserted his ship
at Matanzas-the imprisonment of Capt,
Love Shaw-the cruel punishment of the
scamen Of the VIM. Engs-and with par.
;icipating in or aiding to the utmost, the
slave trade. Lord Palmorston wrote
Mr.. Fox, at Washington, repeatedly, to
demand the attention ofthe us. Govern
ment to Trist's conduct, in officiating as
Portuguese Consul at Havana, which was
a cloak for n friend to the African slave
trade. His lordship openly charged Tris1
with furnishing slave papers through the
American Vice-C Consul, and demanded
his dismissal, which, of course, Mr.. Van
Buren,, who was then counting the slave
power for a re. election, was in no haste
to consent to. Trist was upheld, the
South conciliated, and the candid Mr.
Calhoun rewarded his friend Van Burer
with the nine South Carolina Yates whom
they could be of no use to him.-Neu
