AFFAIRS IN MEXICO
From the N. o. Picayuns Aug al
By the arrival the ship Agnes we have received CO.
pies OF the Boien de Notteias of Jaapa of the lath
and 18th instant When the latter number was
the train under Major Lay had not far as the editor
knew, crossed the National Bridge and he felt great
hopes OF the train senior Aburto and Fa
ther Jarauta had been the leaders In the attacks
on the train They are represented to have killed
wounded over 300 We have not n doubt that this il
ridiculous exaggeration Senior ID. Juan Soto, the go
Of the state Of Vera Cruz in the vicinity
the train giving confidence to the guerlas The editor
repeats the story that the train has in charge million
of dollars In specie most OF concealed in bags Of gold
In the loads OF forage.
The Boien announces the arrival Of Paroles in Vera
Cruz and his escape thence 1t does not extend To the
ex President very cordial reception IL thinks his
turn very inascree and doubts his object be to take
part In the oeIence VI the country as asserted We
get no clue to the OF Psredes by the
article

Americans Inc contents OF oher letters make the ed-
Tor blusn 1or ms countrymen ne says Inc American

S3nisss " .he osDssement OF the
Msxicans especially those IN high position IN society
themselves to the conquest of the country According
10 the the Indians upon the frontiers display
much sreater snare OF love OF country we are sorry
that W. cannot from the terms
py The etor something more dennte OF the contents OF
the intercepted letters The editor Is too crafty to reveal
much but ne concludes as rouows:- What cnastise-
ment shall outraged nation indignant people. In
dict upon these despcabe members who have sandered
and vlnrd the nation degrading 1t In the eyes OF It's
enemies'"
The Bolen has an article running into two numbers
of the paper, upon the general aspect Of affairs He
mentions that the last division OF Gen Scotts army
does not say left that day He then goes on to
uate about the chances Of victory In tho battle to be
fought at the capital and in its vicinity He reasons
that victory gained by the Americans would not ad
their cause substantially while IL 1t by
the Mexicans would be decisive Of the whole question
Mexico by victory would be in situation to listen to
that he Dot how the Mexicsns fall short
Of the vigorous and desperate and heroic effort,
Gen Scott should he meet with the slightest reverse
Hitherto the Americans have owed their successes he
circumstances which do not now exist II they now
suffer any defeat 1t will be ruin for them there Ia
retreat The editor then goes to tell his country
how they should follow up their victory They should
not be too exactpg towards the Americans they should
not drive hard bargain with them about the terms Of
peace In the editors opinion. they should at ones
give up Texas to the United States without indemnity
but upon condition that the United States should i'm
mediatey withdraw all her troops from Mexican terri
tory occupied by them. Here Is concession Tor Mexi
can!
