OSCILLATIONS OF PEAcE.-The Washington &C
respondent of the Baltimore sun writes under date
the 18th:
The belief is still gaining ground among those who
arc best able TO Judge, that peace is at hand-
Mr. Trst has, no doubt, the outlines of treaty of
nmity and peace with him, prepared by the State De-
partmenti and whether he have power actually 10
conclude peace and the treaty. is matter of no
sequence, SO he has Porer 10 agree on tie prsmina-
ries.
Another Washington correspondent of the same
paper, writing under the same date says:
II is of no sort Of consequence what may be the
terms ofpeace Offered or to be Offered by the United
States; for Mexico is yet in acondition nor in
temper to look to any terms whatever.

G-S-The leading editorial (stolen at that. J
III the columns of the Paoli Telegraph, states
that 800 copies of Senator Corwin's speech was
found in Santa Annals baggage captured at
Cero Gordo. We are of the opinion that the
Paol man has got hold of the wrong end of the
story, that it was the pass Mr.. Polk sent his
friend and not the speech of Mr. Corwin that
was found. But supposing it was the latter
article that was found, it is certainly little
strange how they got there-almost as strange
how these speeches got there, as how it was
Santa Anna got there himself!

LIVERPOOL, Jun.

LIVERPOOL, June 4.
The supply of provisions is only moderate,
but the demands for some sorts is not large.
The call for beef has been languid. But
ter and Cheese are bringing fair prices, and
the consumption has been unusually large.
Hams have been dull of sale, and those on
hand of rather an inferior quality, but the stock
is now accommodating though with no DISPOSE
ton to operate largely. aAN
The financial prospects of the country are
more animated than they have been for some
time past.
The Bank of England has shown the ability
and disposition to discount with more freedom,
and the consequence was greater buoyancy III
the money market. All trades andall kinds OF
business had felt the value of this improvement.
The steamer Caledonia brought out large or
ders for manufactured goods, which has also
created good feeling in the market, and par
ticuarly as the stock of goods was light. The
shipments are large and well supported except
on Welsh account.
LIVERPOOL, June 4.
Notwithstanding the strange speculations
entertained previous to the departure OF the last
steamer that the corn market would maintain
an upward tendency, the unusually line wealth
err promising favorable home harvest, have
had the effect of depressing prices, and con-
tracing the extent of the average transac-
tions.

which was aided By very timely relaxation IN
