English Intervention between the United States and
Merieo- Tsrms-Potities.
The cause and the degree of English interference
between Mexico and the United States appear to bs
but insudicsntly understood After Gen. Scott had
positively refused to send in Mr. BuchanAn's letter
under nag Of truce Mr. Trst asked Of Mr. Bankhesd,
the English minister the favor OF conveying tho letter
to the Mexican Secretary for Foreign Affairs MIR.
Bankhead at once complied. That Is all. II Mr. Bank
head has advised the Mexican negotiate
he has done nothing but what perfectly fair No
information has been received here going to show that
he has interfered about the terms of q treaty But
whether he has has not, is absolutely unavailing
Gen. Scott has discretionary powers Mr. Trist has
discretionary powers THERE'S danger then, that
English interference effect anything hostile to
interests in Mexico.
This thing Of English Intervention will not be such .
bugbear. If England advise Mexico to negotiate, 30
much the better 1t is the best advice she could give
II does not interfere with at all II McKee, adopting
the advice Of England should make peace shall be
very glad But at the time government will
accept mediation from England. from any other
power Weare abundantly able to selIld own quar-
rel with Mexico. II England prevail upon Mexico
to accede to terms far 30 well But at the in
stance of England Of any other power, We will mot
abate one jot of our terms.
will say in connection with this svbjeot, that the
terms government is now willing grant to Mex
ico it will not be willing to grant should cur army be
obliged to enter the capital at expense Of blood and
treasure What terms Mr. Trist authorized to oher
not at present prepared to say but it is very GER
tain that treaty will be made the basis Of the 9th
degree north latitude The valley Of the ella must be
ours for after all recent survey Of that stream from
It's mouth to its source proves that the valley more
practicable route for railroad the continent
than any yet mentioned II future surveys should oons
firm this report the right Of way across the sthmus Of
Tehuantepeo need not be insisted upon as there are
some almost nsurmountable difficulties to be snooun-
tered in making ship canal at that point
1t Is said that opposed giving up tho fields
of Monterey and Buens Vista The idea of keeping
permanent possession of those places more Of
enthusiasm than common sense, Should We not on the
same principle retain Cerro Gordo and Vera Crus and
even the city of Mexico, should gain victory on
its Threshold There is great deal of sham pstrotism
nothing better in such propositions II every oonqus-
ror should claim the battle ground which he had
been victorious confused diversity Of farstchsd
titles there would be all the world. How many
claimants would there be for Waterloo. Moscow would
be retained by the French Narva by the swsdes Hoeh
stadt, Families and Maplagnet by the English and
hundred other places by all the great in Europe
in each others country.
The computation Of the relative strength Of the two
parties in House Of Representatives which sp
peared in of my letters in March last gave the de-
mocrats q majority Of Swallowing Virginia IL, New
Hampshire 8, and Connecticut l. That majority al
ready swept away and unless they retrieve In the other
States yet to elect there win be majority against them.
This loss mostly attributable to the Union No party
ever had better prospects Of success they had ma.
naged rightly bur they have lost that admirable sys-
tenn of organization which has often rendered them
victorious The wings too, have prontsd BY their re-
verses, and, Of late. there has been more harmony
amongst them than formerly II is scarcely possible
the democrats retrieve in other States their ossss
in the three | have mentioned. Those who are inH
matsy acquainted with the state Of parties throughout
the Union declare they cannot. GALVIENsls.
