LATEST FROM MEXICO

The Picayune Of the 18th contains some inter
estiDg intelligence from Mexico, Uia Havana. The
Mexican Government had some difficulty in indu-
eng any one to accept the office OF commits
sloners to treat for peace and letter from the CITY
OF Mexico says that Congress would not consent To
convene in the capital, but offered to meet at One
Tetaro, from which it inferred that they would
dlsapprove Oh any treaty that might be made. Ne
gotiatlons, notwithstanding, were going on The
conclusion OF treaty, it is said was no less often
sve to several ofhe military chiefs, who had been
so far adherents of Santa Anna-And finally tho
disappearance of Valencia az well as the existence
OF league Of the States Of which Queretaro is the
centre, and the arrival of Gen. Paredes who. some
letters say, had already pronounced at Toluca-
all threatened to proIong the war, thus rendering
useless all the efforts in the capital of those who
were at work to secure peace. The editor the
ifdrana Dtdrio, Notwithstanding. does not think it
improbable that the commissioners will bring their
iabors 10 successful conclusion, and that, in the
absence OF Congress. treaty will be ratified by an
assembly of NotabIes to be formed in the city
such treaty, so ratified, however. he says. will
not terminate hostiIities
"Many think (says letter from the CITY OF Mex
ico) that peace will be made but nv opinion is
that Congress, which is to assemble at Oneretaro.
will oppose whatever treaty may be made. '-Whie.

! FREE TRADE-The present Free trade Tariff
has been in existence nearly one year, and the fall
sty and hoowness Of all the locofoco predictions
in regard to its effects have become apparent
The farmer was told that it would open the ports
OF Europe to our grain, and thus greatly enhance
its value; and that he ought not to place any reIi
ance upon the Wing Tariff that was to foster home
manufactures, and create a Home Market What
has been the result?
Famine did create an extraordinary demand for
our breadstus, and for a season our farmers enioy
ed nigh prices. An abundant harvest in Europe.
however, has again knocked down the prices, and
American grain can no longer be exported without
loss. Flour and wheat are no higher now than
they were under the Tariff of 1912. The farmer
finds himself again dependent upon the Home
Market-and that, under the free-trade policy.
will always be poor one.
Under the Tariff Of AZ, as well as that of '46.

was demand for it in fact he reaps no benefit
from the latter, which he could not as well receive

MINERALS IN LOUISA.

On Saturday our eyes were dazzed by heavy
lngot Of pure virgin gold. (valued at about $50
which had been collected on ''lVhite Walnut ), The
farm of Hugh Goodwin, Jr., Esq. six miles from
Louisa Courthouse. The vein, which promises In

fisher, Jr., who has made arrangements to prose
cue bis discovery and work the mine on an extern
sive scale. We hope that friend Goodwin will no
able to furnish an abundance of the raw material,
to increase the advantages OF the Constitutional
Treasury.
Quite an excitement, we hear, is sp-incinc III in
Louisa on the subject Of gold, cope. and iron

wish them success, and that we may not again hear

The news from Europe by the Britannia. is in
'eresling and important Business there continu-
ed in very deranged and disordered state. and
prices Of breadstuffs and provisions were SINKING
still lower, though our great staple, cotton, conin
ued firm, Notwithstanding the languor and inaction
IN the manufacturing districts. The money mar
ke' in London, although still stringent, had appa-
ren'iy become more easy, and the Bank was max
ing loans on Exchequer bills and bills of EXCHANGE
at per cent, which shows a continuance OF the
more liberal policy of discounts
The political news is still more important than
the commercial intelligence, and, from present indi
cations, the South of Europe can hardly fail to be
swbrolled In war. Austria eviF1ts a determine
lion to drive the Pope to its terms, and the Pope as
determlnedy reslsts them, and persists in asserting
the independence OF Italy. With war added to the
present grievances of Europe, consequences NAV
result to Kingdoms and prncipalities that are now
hardly dreamed of by those in power.
Paris has been thrown into state of excitement
