LATER FROM MEXICO.

The Picayune of the 5lb January has accounts
from the city Of Mexico nearly three weeks later.
II seems that the news received by way OF Tam
pico, that The Mexican Congress had decreed moi
10 listen 10 negotiation until all our forces and
vessels were removed, was premature. Accord
ing 10 these last accounts, il appears that up 10
the Illh December, the Mexican Congress had net
ae,ed upon our over,ures of peace. Had they done
SO, it would in all probability have been known
in the squadron or noted in the Mexican papers
Lieutenant Bowers states that he had heard mo-
thing of j, up 10 the 2lsf when he had an inter-
view with some English officers, who are usual
ly we'll informed as 10 the course OF events in
Mexico.
The Congress of Mexico was duly installed on
the night OF the 5lh December The prominent
members of the important committees were Sc

Stale, who has quauelled with Salas and Santa

committee on finance, and Herrera OF that on
war and the navy. These names show ha. the
liberal statesmen appear TO be in the ascendant in
the new Congress.
The Secretary of The Treasury has submitted
a proiec, for The conversion of the foreign debt
Two important propositions have been introduced
and referred to commitlees-,he first declaring

which all true Americans will approve:
Our own Congress mus. now support the
sta nd which they Il ok in May last They can
not hesitate 10 furnish the ampes, supplies OF men
and money 10 prosecute the war with tremendous
effect The House OF Representatives have this
day passed the bill for raising Ten regiments Of
regular troops. The Committee on Finance will
in the course of day or two, as we understand,
repor, a bill for raising loan OF twenty-odd mil
lions of dollars; and we will not for one moment
permit ourselves 10 believe that they will not re-
port an efficient bill for raising additional revenue
10 facilitate the loan. An American Congress
will never refuse to lendthe means OF carrying on
a war on which the rights and honor Of their coun-
Try so essentially depend. These means being pro-
yided the Executive will be able to prosecute the
war with the vigor which is necessary to "avenge
The national wrongs" and to secure an honorable
peace.
We have no idea that any member will seek TO

either for war, revenue or loans.
