The "London Chronicle" of July 18th treats its read
trs with another dsquison relations with Mex
co. 1t sets out with some remarks the 'pacifc ten
ency of the last from America and the present
prospects of peace But il bunders again in its amusing
solution of the motives which may lead to peace. The
ambition of Mr. Polk is again the key of the event.
