Since the dilgencia went out a, noon to-day
for Vera Cruz, another diligencia has come in
from the city of Mexico full Of passengers,
and bringing news Of not little importance.
ALI the passengers confirm what ] wrote
you this morning. They say that at the cap
ital there was no Government, no order, no
responsibility-all was anarchy, Anaya was
still President pro tenn. but had neither inAu-
ence nor authority.
II is stated that the propositions made by
England some months since, 10 offer her in
PREVENTION IN settling the difficulties between
Mexico and the United States, have recently
been taken up by the Mexican Congress, and,
after warm discussion, in which one Of the
members said that the whole affair was but an
other attempt Of the monarchsts upon the
sacred liberties Of the Mexican Republic, the
motion even to consider them was lost b, q
vote Of A TO 80. From this il would seem
that tine present Congress is determined to
shut every door against all proposals OF an
honorable peace.
The States North Of Mexico-Guadallara
Guanojua,a, Queratora, Zacatecas, Durango,
San Luis, and oihers-ialk openly OF separating
from Mexico, and letting her take care OF her
self Not dollar in the way OF supplies are
they sending on for the relief Of the General
Government in its emergency.
They were still doing little in the way OF
fortifving the city OF Mexico, but a Spaniard
informs me that all the distractions they have
erected so far could be kicked over with the
foot The city had been placed under martial
law, and the drest excuses were anticipated.
The citizens had all been called upon to
take up arms in the common defence, but IN
fortunately nine tenth Of them had no arms to
take up. Nor were there any cannon at the
capital other than few small and Indifferent
pieces.
There is certainly party, and an infuen-
tial one, in Mexico, which begins to talk Of
peace; and where four weeks since they did
not dare breathe their sentiments, they now
come out openly and avow themselves. Still
the measure is far from popular. The peace
party is composed OF the more honest and in
telgent property holders, the merchants, and
perhaps the clergy--to these are added the
military who have all disgraced themselves,
and all the demagosues among the lawyers,
If the priests could be made certain that they
would continue to hold their rich benefces
secure, they would probably be all in favor OF
peace.
Majors Borland and Gaines, Capt. C. M.
Clay, and all the officers taken IN the North,
were at liberty in the city of Mexico, as was
also Midshipman Rodgers. They are all said
to be well and respectfully treated now. al
though the latter was UNANIMOUSLY abused on
the way up 10 Mexico from Perote.
Gen. Canalizo was al San Andres, place
north ofOrizaba, at last accounts. The force
with hun is not stated, but il is undoubtedly
small. He is is an Old friend OF Sspn Anna,
and is probably working 1t psessst * his
master.
