merce asserts, that Bishop Hughes, in a re-
cent conversation with Mr. Buchanan, avow-
ed his willingness to go to Mexico as an
ambassador on the part Of the United States,
if his services were needed by the Govern
ment. We learn from undoubted authority,
that this is not true; that, though Bishop
Hughes is willing at all times to devote his
splendid abilities to the service of his coun-
try, he considers any mission to Mexico, Of
which he should be member, as entirely
useless, owing to the utter improbability Of
any good coming from it, in consequence Of
