THE CHANCES OF PEAcE-We saw private letter
from very intelligent officer Vera Cruz dated the
10th inst, in which he says that several of the States
of the Mexican coufederacy have denounced the war
with the United States and threatened secede unless
peace should be made. Many Mexicans predicted a
peace within sixty days, but correspondent puts
little faith in augures so favorable. He thinks the
great difficulty in the way Of peace is the fact that
Santa Anna is nearly crashed that he dare not
make treaty. Nor does there appear be any one
else in Mexico strong enough TO incur the great
sponsiblty. None of the old politicians will yen-
ture upon the step. Our correspondent adds Some
man now unknown 10 fame, with nothing to lose and
every thing to gain, may afse and advocate peace
policy successfully. His want of ambition or the
little chance Of his obtaining power nav prevent him
from becoming obnuSicus 10 the ieaousies Of paries
and gain for him adhefents generally. He may sue
coed IN making peace which every body will be
glad of, but how long before il will be used as an
element of pphtica warfare g. -

The propositions made by England to
offer Intervention in settling the difficulties
between Mexico and the United States have
recently been taken up by the Mexican
Congress, and after a warm discussion the
motion even to consider was lost by vote
Of 43 to 80.
The States of Guadalajara, Guanajuato,
Queretaro, Zacatecas, Durango, San Luis
and others talk openly of separating from
Mexico, and to let her take care of herself.
Not dollar in the way of supplies are they
sending for the relief Of the general govern
ment. They were doing little terrifying
Mexico, but all the distractions erected so
far could be kicked over with the foot.
There are influential parties in Mexico,
that begin 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 intelligent property hold

proach of the Americans, it is said that
Congress with all the archives of the Re-
public will move to the city of Morella

That this is correct decision cannot be

for the purpose of influencing the voters on

if modern systems and modes of education with all
their vast Improvements and numerous advantages,
will give to the rising generation a character as
staunch and stable as energetic and wisely Jealous

OUR TRI-WEEKLY

Has been discontinued, for the very sufficient
reason that it was not well supported and but slight
ground to believe that it would be. We have test
ed the matter to entire satisfaction for the pre-
sent; and leave the field somewhat wiser than we
entered it. We are not willing to admit that the
resources aad enterprise Southport are inadequate
to sustain an enterprise such as we commenced.
There were causes, which we believe, but tenn
porary to prevent success, and which will not ex-
ist lormore than one season probably These causes
we might possibly have foreseen, but it required
experiment to fully test the matter. As no one
has lost anything but oursel, we trnst no one will
be disposed to complain.
We now throw ourself entirely upon our week
y which we intend shall be second to no paper in
Wisconsin, in the following particulars Size, beau
ty OF mechanical appearance, amount and interest
ing variety Of reading matter lateness of ntel-
gence, &c. We have the facilities for doing all
that we promise, and little more; and expect to
have support commensurate with our efforts to
make useful and interesting paper.
Next week the old size OF the Telegraph, dou-
bic medium sheet, will be resumed
BY the way, while our hand is in, we may as
we'll hint to the public that as we have received any
quantity of new type, we are prepared to do Job
printing, including books and pamphlets in style
which will come up fully to the taste of the most
iastidious; and at rate which will come dorm to
