The Government is about 10 call out

Scott and Taylor, and enable them to
dictate a peace in the capitol of MEXICO. /
But The latest intelligence lrem.. Mexico

ment, convince US that we shall certainly
have peace very soon. Santa Anna will
probably be able 10 maintain his power,
and it will be fine policy to use. it for The
purpose of making peace. On the other
hand. our Government has determined to
renew overlures Of peace to Mexico and
on terms less onerous to her than those
heretofore offered. 1t is supposed that thr
offer will be as follows: the boundary to
be The Rio Grande up to 800 aud by thai
parallel to the Pacific, we pay Mexico six
millions and demand nothing for the ex-
penses Of the war; free passage to be
allowed to all nations across the >is!htnus
Of Mexico, by way Of The Gulf of Tehu'
voletre.
The offer made last wiuter, through
Mr.. Atocha, was 10 take the parallel Of
twenty-six as The boundary and pay Mex
leo fifteen millions. The new proposition
would ask from Mexico no territory that
she can not possibly hold, even if we were
now to abandon the war.
The demonstrations in favor of General
Taylor as candidate for the Presidency.
are multiplying ON all sides. 1t is alleged
in some oflhe Northern Stales, that he is
the only Southern man who can be elec'
ted.
But see that in Pennsylvania it is al
ready suggested that the Wlmot proviso
will be adhered to when the treaty of peace
shall he made, and that this will exclude
Gen. Taylor or any one opposed 10 IL.
Again, it is said that Gen. Taylor will not
consen, to he candidate, even of all par
ties, until The war shall be over.
