1he Late NeW' from the Seat Of War-GsneraI Scott
and Mr. Trist-1he Union-Broxl
No dispatches have been received from the H..h
Quarters Of the Army in Mexico by the late arrival
letter has been received from a person we'll yersed Tn
Mexican politics. and intimately acquainted with the
most prominent members Of the existing administration
He states positively that. Santa Anna is prepared to
negotiate The only circumstance tending to weaken
the credit of this statement is that his letter dated
the 18th ult whereas advices late the 18th ut
have been received treating the probable negotiation
The writer, however, possesses better
Of asceraining the views and purposes OF Santa
Anna than the public generally.
There is little probability that General Scott and Mr.
Trst acting concert the wording Of the recent
intelligence would lead to suppose Indeed, there
exists scarcely possibility Of such desirable consum-
nation after what has passed 1t greatly to be re-
GREETED that at such important crisis unhappy
misunderstanding should preclude that unison between
the commanding General and the diplomatic agent Of
the government 80 important to the success OF Mr..
rrists mission Congress- at its next session. will call
for the correspondence, and then the Of the
dispute will be made public. The Union in ito
customarily feictsus manner, has 40 bungied this
subject, in reply to some structures of the opposi-
ton press as to present the administration having
made the discredtsbls attempt to convict Cen Scott
having delayed the chances by the unworthy
trick Of ante-dating their letters or
not Of malice aforethough but the EDITORS happy
blunders The administration nevertheless scsps-
goat and very deservedy however credtabe II may
be to the feelings of the President and his Cabinet to re
tain the Union a the quss-exponent of theil policy
after the many garng proofs 1t has lately given OF total
incapncity the wisdom of such course at least Ia
tremely questionable 1t is evidence Of less quss-
tionable taste to endesvor get rid Of the pleasant
fact Of such ncapacity by calling like angry
boy. The editor Of the Union should be ashamed Of
such a mode of defence At his time life
While this subject IL may be proper remark that
the tone of the Union relations with Brazil does
not reflect the views OF the administration that
question That journal trusts that serious dBcul
ty may arise out Of the Misunderstanding between the
two governments The United States in position
to say that difficulty shall arise and that fiat has Al
ready been recorded in the action Of the State Depart
ment In the matter Our government to take ad
vantage of the weakness Of Brazil and therefore looks
with cold dsdain the pragmatic pstulsnce she
hibits She has neither the will the power TO do
aught but buster Queruous peevshness is the privi
lese of the weak, and thus she is privileged But the
balance Of and Is not In her hands, therefore
there Is no danger that she will be suffered to break
the peace.
The Emperor is young man Of twenty-one years or
age and cannot be expected to exhibit any extraord
discretion In his intercourse with foreign nations
For what has happened his late ministers most to
blame and their may abandon the silly policy
pursued by them The administr alton Of affairs al
most entirely in the hands of the ministers the time
being. The house Of Brsganza exhibited
much administrative talent since the first king Of the
name John w. ascended the throne of Portugal In l64o
down to the present year when the people that
try felt themselves compelled to take against the
nolerable expressions Of their fat queen II is not very
apparent that the has been improved by trans
planting The Braziians worthy Of the house that
rules them The whites comprise nearly onefourth Of
the population the Indians one-tenth the remainder
consisting Of negroes and muattoes triumph over
such people could be the ambition Of the United
States, and under the circumstances, government
will not suffer itself to be provoked into quarrel
