We have no further news fr0m Mexico,
but expect lille or no more fighting. Ia
deed, the entire success Of the reace party,
lis growing permanen,inhuence, andlhe to-
tai overthrow of The war parry, are things
so certain that the fate o., Mexico seems
70 be written, on the wall. ! think that
General Scott swill badly be suffered 10
enter The capital in any other capacity
than as a friend and skillfal negotiator,
and that the peace about TO be conceded
will be a lasting one. | think we have
50 far the fate OF Mexico in our hands,
tina. even a lost battle or change Of ru-
lers in the capital, by which military in
stead Of civil and peaceably inclined ru.
lers shall succeed to power, would not Sc
riously alter the position OF affairs. We
have accomplished three Of the most diff
iicult things in our relations with Mexico.
First, We separated the clergy from The
military; second, we convinced the cler-
gy that IL Is their interest TO treat with us ;
and, thirdly, we have so far overcome the
prudery Of Mexico that her leaders not
only listen to our propositions Of peace,
but actually talk Of ace themselves with.
on, biushing up 10 tlleir eyes. Alter Mex
leo is once thoroughly satisfied that she
is, in her present condition, and with her
present nominal limits, as liule match
with us as she is likely to be after the ces.
sion of one or two provinces, she will, I
am certain, be as resigned TO parl with
California which is Of no particular use
TO her, as we shall be satisfied with the
acquisition Of ID, in view of its military
and maratime position, which will render
us masters of the Pacific ocean. -
