 PEACE DISCOURAGED - Among the spells taken from Santa Anna's carriage, after his late Hegira, was found an ad> dress from Pedro Maria Anaya, the Iocun' tenens President of Mexico, who offieiates in the absence of Santa Anna, and at- dressed 10 the people of Mexico-and al. so an address from Santa Co the Mexican Congress. Both of these documents breathe a most determined hostility a. gaiAst yielding to the dictates of forced peace with the Uni,ed States. War, un- fiinchiag war 10 the hilt,' is the battls>cry rather than bate title of what they coH- slider their lawful rights. If we cannot obtain such a Peacc,' says Santa Anna, it is better to bury ourselves under tho ru
 ins of eur cities. and better to die thssa live withou, honor. Let the nation rise up uniied-lot it enter upon the struggle with tAe vigorous enthusiasm of the days of Indspeneence, and then the VGn0ats who have threatened US, shall repent of their rash iniquity Victory will crswn our exsrtions, and we shall speedily have nationality assured-a name worthy of resPeet-a permanent existence sscur- cd Such is the language of the acting Executive of Mexico.

THE OPENING OF THE SESSION.

There was, at the opening of both Houses Of
Congress on Monday, quite full attendance of
Members.
In the SENATE the VICE PRESIDENT took the
Chair.
In the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, on the third
trial to elect SPEAKER the Hon. ROBERT Z.
WINTHROP, of Massachusetts, received majority
of votes and was conducted to the Chair whence he
acknowledged, in highly appropriate terms, his SEN
sibility TO the confidence reposed in him by his
fellow-members.
Mr.. WINTHROP received the votes of nearly
every Whig member, present. Other Whig men,
bers of distinguished standing and ability had been
spoken of for this dignifed Office, who would have
filled it worthily and with honor. But the choice
of the party having fallen on Mr.. WINTHROP, no
gentleman feel disparaged by the preference
His experience, abilities, dignity, and unblemshed
personal character well become the high trust con-
fded TO him, and furnish an abundant guaranty for
the able and faithful discharge of the arduous and
responsible duties of the Chair.
The Democratic members appear not to have
united any member of that party for the office OF
Speaker but TO have voted according to their indi-
vidual personal preferences
Subsequently to Monday, the House completed
its organization by the election Of
NATHAN SARGENT, Esq, formerly connected
with the Philadelphia press, and heretofore run by
the Wings as their candidate for Congress in one
of the Philadelphia districts, 10 the Office Of Ser
geant-atArms.
ROBERT E. HoRNoR, also a Member of the Edi-
torial fraternity, (from New Jersey,) to the office
Of Doorkeeper; and
JOHN M. JOHNSON, the former incumbent, to the
office of Postmaster.

country oyerrun by invaders inspires it, we should
respect II. IL is honorable; il will be found forni-
dable Such spirit, once fairly awakened has
ever proved invincibe and SO we shall find it to
our cost if, by prolonged and cruel warfare, such
as President Polk would have, stir it up through
out Mexico. Meantime, we say, without hesita-
uoh mat she has, in one instance at least manifest
ed ialthiulness Of nationality which goes far 10
redeem all the disgraces of her arms. We speak
oil her answer with Gen. ScoTT and his glorious
little army at the gates of her capital, to Mr..
lRIsT's demand of the cession of New Mexico.
That answer was in the following terms
That this proposition under the recognised tight of Mex
leo to deliberate, should be modified and that in the pete
sons OF the United States and the character his negoa-
ons its Commissioner leaves other choice to Mexico than
the loss of honor and it is that which shuts the door to all
possibility of making peace.
To restore this great benefit to the nation the Govern
ment agreed to cede Texas and part Of Upper California
far the frontier of Oregon, the which were stated
in the instructions; but with the reservation that
Congress should approve it would the Government consent
to cede more-especialy New Mexico whose inhabitants
have manifested their desire make part Of the Mexican
family with enthusiasm than any other part Of the
Republic.
'sThee metoous Mexicans abandoned to their fate dur
ing administrations, often without protection pre-
them from the ncusons the savages have been the
most truly patriotic Of Mexcans because forgetting their do
mestic complaints, they have remembered nothing but their
desire to be Of the Mexican family and many exposing and
sacrificing themselves to the vengeance Of the invaders have
rebeed against them and when their plans discovered
dsconcced and their conspacies frustrated have again
conspred and would any Government sell such Mexans
herd OF cattle Never Let the nationality of the of
the Republic perish for them Let perish together"
Here is a sentiment and here conduct that are
worthy of the most magnanimous Republic. They
say plainly, !" Slaughter us it is in your power:
overrun us for you can: but not even TO
save a part Of our country will we ever consent
10 sell or give to you brave citizens who hate you
and love Mexico And it is these New Mexcans,
thus faithful to their Government and thus repaid
by its affection and fidelity, that President Polk
intends to drag into our Union, whether they will
or not by way of making them into kind of hu-
man indemnity, corporeal capital, an animated
scrip, out of which to be repaid the old losses
of certain of our citizens A great sympathy with
love of country must our President have, and mar
vellously precise notions about the right of pro-
vince, good deal more populous than was Texas in
1887, to choose under what Government itshall live
S. But we have filled our vacant space,
and exhausted our allotted time. Whatever more
we have to say on this Mexican War must re-
serve until some occasion shall arise to call for its
utterance.

We learn from the Baltimore Sun that immense
damage has been done by the late freshets in Mary
land and Virginia.
On the line of the Baltimore and Washington rail-
road. two fine bridges and four cuverts swept
away Had the train from Washington been fifteen
minutes earlier, it would have inevitably gone down
with one of these bridges. 1t will be several days
before the road will be fit for travel Several bridges
on the turnpike TO Washington have also been swept
away, rendering travelling that road impossible.
