The Peace Rumors.

The news we publish from the ssSun of Anahuac,' IN
our paper OF to- day, is not, in opinion, entitled
much credit AS general rule, the least authentic news
we ever receIve IN regard to Mexican affairs to Us
erations.
But there still stronger reasons or rather facts dis
proving this rumor. Our contemporaries of La Paba
have letter from their correspondent an intelligent
Spanlad now resident in the capital of the 9th july IN
which no ausion Is made to the appointment OF COM
mssioners; but IN which IT is positively stated that Con.
gress convoked or The purpose of considering Mr. IT'S
propositions, had not yet had quorum, and steps had
been taken on the peace question. This fact we think
is conclusive The Mexican papers, received some day
ago, stated that the American overures would be laid be.

no constitutional power beyond the mere reception OIL
these proposals.

proofs throw considerable doubt over its authenticity
Such men as Gorostiza, Tornel, and Baranda, could
never make peace that would be satisfactory TO iht
Mexican people. They are tools of Santa Anna-broken

they may have ever acquired through their seTyiliy

On the 25th, Indians were observed at
some distance from the Fort, and were sup
posed to he upwards of70 or 100 in number.
The chicfofthe band visited the Fort, and
was cordially invited in by Captain Pettn-
gers, the senior officer. The Indians We're
also invited to enter, who, while i'll the Fort,
had their suspicious aroused that harm was

others, who were AT Capt Peuinger's (and had
taken refuge in his quarters were killed.
Fifteen or twenty Indians were wounded on
the outside of the Fort, five of whom were
