Our accounts Of The health Of Tampico,
and especially Of The Louisiana regiment,
ale more favorable. The number Of men
on The SICK lis, has rapidly decreased bu.
The remaining cases are somewhat more
severe. They are mostly cases OF inter.
mlltent ever; few cases Of bilious ever
have occurred, some Of them terminating
fatally. There is very lille yellow fever
IN the town, and Tho cases have been con-
fined 70 the civil hospital. The leyers
which prevail are becoming more malig.
nant as the season advances.
From file of the Sun Of Anahuac, pub.
ilshed al Vera Cruz, we have few items
Of intelligence. The night OF tho 9TH inst.
a fight occurred il Vera Cruz between two
IleSIcans, IN which one stabbed the other
50 severely that he died Instantly. No
names are given.
Capt. Mayo Of the navy and Governor Of
Aiyarado having received intelligence that
Father Jlrauia was IN the vicinity and de.
signed TO surprise and take Ayarado, went
of in pursuit Of him OF the head of one
hundred and fifty men, proceeding up the
river At las, dates The expedition had not
returned to Alyarado, nor had any account
been received from it.
The editor Of the Sun of Anahuac has
seen the Republican, Of The 28th June,
Mr.. Bucaanan's letter, with
which we are all familiar, and the pretend.
ed proceedings Of an American council of
war. Upon the Information thus derived
The editor POUNDS an article which We Il. vii

Hhat Course utH Gen. Scott pursue ..
The late intelligence We have received
from Mexico Of the correspondence between
Mr.. Buchanan and The Mex can Minister
OF Foreign Relations, treating Of peace.
has, It seems 10 Us, altered the course
which Gen. Scot, was o pursue.
We have deferred our remarks until now,
because we were afraid to be too hasty in
Dur speeulauons.
IL seens most likely TO US thu, Gen.
Scott viii not a3pance any further until he
receives orders from Washington 10 do SO.
But VIII the cabinet al Washington give
bis order7 We doab, it very much, be.
,ause il would throw more difficulties in the
way OF the negotiations.
Il must have struck the mind of every
one who has read the spondence above
alluded to, that the tone Of The Mexican
Government has altered very much, if we
should Judge from the few lines addressed
o Mr.. Buchinan by the Mexican Premier
n answer 10 bis proposition Of peace. We
10 not see in his letter, any of that arro.
5ance which IN every instance before has
the Mexican diplomatic cor.
spondence-but on the contrary a pretty
polite, though short answer, in which he
says that he declines answering to the ar.
-uments Of Mr., Buchanan, until Congress,
10 whom be refers the matter aud who have
solely the power to decide, shall have &C.
ted upon them. In note which he ad.
dresses to Congress, be presses them to
take immediate action upon them.
Bot in the meantime what is Gen. Scott
TO d. VIII be take up his line of march
Tor the capital while there are hopes en-.
iefained for peace This is not at all
probable. We therefore come TO the con.
cusion that he will not make a step for.
ward until all hopes for concluding a treaty
OF peace is lost,
