 On the 10th, the members present mad refused. hy
 msiotity of one vote, to declare recess, in expec tation of sufficient number to commence business and tO take into consideration the American pFopo- sals of peace. The Sun of Anahuac says the Con rress ef either resolve that negotiations shall be opened with General Scott anthorixe the govern ment 10 do 90. IT is not within the ordinary pow eFs of the Congress to enter directly upon aego- tiation, and therefore t E probable they will give full authority to the executive 10 act in this affair."
 The Sun thinks that 10 negotiation win be pro eeeded in unless # tend to honorable peace for Mexico, thai is fit be conducted hy the Congress. IE on the other hand Congress eonfde the negotia- ton to Santa Anna. ii is sign that they desire peace on any terms.
 The Vera Cruz paper thinks the preliminaries are concluded by the Executive and not by Congress, because commissioners are appointed to treat with Mr. Trist At all events. says the Sun, if Santa Anna has taken upon himself to manage this basi- ness, he Is confident of being sustained hy great majority of the nation and the people of the capital
 We find nothing in the Mexican papers that in- diea,es spirit ofoppositiou topeace; they are chief Iy occupied with reflections on the condition of the interior.
 According to an article in the Monitor Repabli- cano of the llth there was rupture between Santa Auu0 anu tHr1 tuCt uuH WctG reconciled, and Canalizo was to have an important post ia the capital.
 The same paper says that Santa Anna was deter mined 10 govern with the Minister of War and of Finance and with the higher officers of the depart ments ofJnsiiee and of Foreign Affairs. The Moni- tor also says that the anticipated changes in the Cabinet would not take place; the expected change was to substitute the m0deradcs for the pnros. The Monitor of the 12th. eohtradicts, in very positive terms, the rumor that Santa Anna was to be appointed dictator, and ascrbes Il to the enemies of Santa Anna and of the country.
 The Republican of the 18th, remarks that Gen. Scott will not very soon march upon the capital. It seems that Santa Anna had again offered his resignafion--for we find iH the Monitor of the sd July, that his resignation was refused by commit tee to whom the subject had been referred A letter from Puebia, July l, published in the Monitor Of the 3d. states that the American troops were concentrated in the upper part of the town, l occupying the heights of San Juan de Loretlo and Guadaioupe. The same letter states that the troops treat the inhabitants with the utmost respect n the day time, and as soon the hour of evening pray CTS strikes they are confined in their camp. de- tachment of 45 or 50 dragoons had gone as far as San Martin, without any guerillas. 1t is a sign of confidence that peace will be made that the farmers have commenced their labors in the fields, and three hundred carts loaded with seeds had proceeded from Mexico 10 Taiaxaia, and the same quantity was going to AtIixis. General Vaenja arrived al San Luis Potosi on the 9th and took the commands hls former station IS filled by General Salas.
 General Bnssamenie, on the same day, was at l1rapuato with he design of raising soldiers in the State of Guanajiato. But orders came from Mexi- co enjoining him to proceed to Sinalao to take mand of the army of the west. which exist only in ! name--and the officers of which refuse the con- mand to Bastamente. because, as they say, he toned the posts gwen to officers who declared for the dictatorship at the last prananciamento. The Monitor of the lIth notices a letter stating that the people of Tascala had applied to General Scott for troops to help them in driving away leader named Portiilo whose expressions had become in- toierabe.
 l There was report on the 18th, at Vera Cruz, the intelligence had come from the capital that Gen. Alvarez, who went thither with detachment to take part in it's defence had either through disgust or in consequence of a quarrel with Canaliao, re- turned to the south.
