The Washington correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce, writes under date of the 18th
inst:
write for the purpose of stating that letter has
been received by the British legation, from Mr. Bank
head, the British minister in Mexico, of recent date
and by the last British courier that contains highly
important information to relations with Mexico
My informant says that the facts and opinions given
by Mr.. Bankhead, show conclusively that we shall
have no treaty of peace through any regulations with
the present government of Mexico.
Mr.. Bankhead says that, in compliance with the
instructions of his government, he has made every
effort to promote peace between the United States
and Mexico but that all attempts for this purpose had
failed and were abandoned. He adds that the dis
sensons among the Mexican leaders and rulers render
il impossible to effect any pacific arrangement.

summer, and before the process Of digestion is
completed, our food is often spoiled or purified
in the stomach; hence bad breath, sour belchings,
costiveness, pain of the stomach, dysentery, cho-

Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are certain TO
remove all the above unpleasant complaints; be-
cause they cleanse the stomach and bowels Of
those putrd humors which are the cause not only
of all diseases of the bowels, but OF every malady
incident to man.
