FURTHER PARTICULARS.


We learn from the New Orleans Picayune
that there has been another correspondence
between General Taylor and Santa Anna,
and that the tone OF the Mexican leader is
as warlke as ever:
A private letter mentions that while the
squadron was at Tampico the men suffered
good deal from intermittent fever, but tl.ey
departed, as is mentioned in letters below,
in great spirits, and we may expect to hear
OF port aftcr PvTt- A.
From another letter we make short extract.
81 can hear of nothing of interest Gom
the interior. The general impression is that
Herrera will be elected President of Mexico
upon the opening OF Congress, and that over
lures of peace will be Immediately made 10
our government. This conceive very pro-
bable, as the citizens are disposed for peace !;
but as soon as Santa Anna hears of such an
occurrence his steps will be turned towards
the capital, and whoever is elected Pres
ident will enjoy his functions but for short
time"
We have heard of this Herrera movement
from several quarters bu, never before direct
ly from Mexico. We have no faith however
in the good disposition of the Mexicans,
never having met trace of such feeling
in anu of thar DoDar,
We have further correspondence between
Gen. Taylor and Santa Anna which we find
in El Eco de Tampico of The 18th inst.
We have moi room for il this morning, nor is
any more than one passage of it important.
Gen. Taylor writes from Saltillo on the Both
of November, acknowledging the courtesy
OF Santa Anna in releasing the seven priso-
ners. He then quotes from the terms of the
armlsllce Of Monterey 10 justify The action
Of our government in putting an end to it
thus meeting reflection of Santa Anna up
on our government in his former letter. He
concludes by expressing the hope that the
Mexican Congress will accept the offers of
the United States, and enter into negotiations
for the termination of hoslilities and the es-
Enlistment of permanent peace.
Santa Sauna replies on the 24th of Nov.
from San Luis Potosi After a courteous
Introduction, he recalls 10 General Taylor the
case of Gen. La Vega, and desires represen
taiiops to be made TO our government which
may effect his immediate release-Santa
Anna supposing him at the time 10 be still in
New Orleans. He concludes the letter as
follows-we find the italics in the Mexican
copy:
81 will conclude th: note by assuring you
that entertain the hope that the sovereign
National Congress, which is Immediately to
be installed, will act as shall be most con-
ducive to the interest of the republic; but
believe that | do not deceive myself in assur-
ing you, that neither the Congress or any
Mexican, pill eUer be able to listen to orcr-
lures of peace unless the national territory
be first evacuated by the forces of the
United States, and the hostile attitude of
their pessels of tcar be withdrawn. This
must be without doubt the preliminary oil
