Still Later from Mexico.
Per Steamer Edith,

correspondents in Mexico-though all of back
dates-deayed by accident. When we have room
we shall, perhaps extract tine more interesting por
| lions of them. The endorsement on the back of
one is as follows:
Vera Cruz March 2O-santa Anna has moi vel arrived
| here, but hourly expected Nothing new
We have also received several numbers OF the
| Vera Cruz Arco IRIS bringing dates down TO the
18th inst We make extracts OF what may prove
interesting:
S.Nr, AVN, OFF AT LAsT-The Arco IRIS Of
the 18th. saws: 'At the moment of going to press
we learn for certain that Gen Santa Anna embark
ed to-day from Antigua on board the Great west
ern. There was no report OF TINS Wheil ine ofeo'

| CONGRESS CONVEYING AT QUERETARo.-lhe
Arco IRIS of the same date contains letter written
at the eity of Mexico on the 18th March, which
may be of some interest expressing the views OF
intelligent Mexicans on the probability OF peace.
| We make the following transatons and extracts:
There nothing of interest but the approaching meet
ing of Congress- Querearo there now no doubt tha
the meeting will take place. BY the latest news we have
received, forty five deputies awaited the arrival OF Their
colleagues from Guadaaxara Oaxaca, Peuba, and the
Federal District AT the same time is believed that IN
consequence of the aristice which had been published the
State of Vera Cruz will hold its elections presume the
people of Vera Cruz will show themselves now as always
they been accustomed do good patriots and decided
friends OF their country.
After q great deal of praise of the Vera Cruzans
and particular of the inhabitants of the herclcal
city, and Senior Couto the letter continues
Il am assured that the diligence which went from this
city for QuerGtaro Friday of last week, filled with
deputies Congress- and that the which will start Oil
Friday next will be likewise filled 1t certain that by the
end the present month safely calculate that Is or
so members of Congress will have assembled which number
will be majority sufficient to decide the most weigty
affairs that be presented favorable adverse to the
nation. Consequently be allowed to hope, that
during the first days of April will know defntivey what
will be the future fate to be encountered by the country
worthy certainly of satisfactory destiny than until
the present has sustained owing TO the conduct of some
of its ambitious and unnatural sons
Then follows a review of the projected move
ment of Gen. Paroles in San Luis, and Santa Anna
in Guadalaxara, to effect revolution. Had we
space, we would give the writer's opinion of the
distinguished men, and, indeed, may do so to-
morrow. The letter concludes
Finally must say that, in my opinion, the treaty of
peace will be approved There may be slight aera
tions days of delay but in the end all will be
cluded sensible DESIRE who aspire only to tranquil
life''
The opinions of the writer correspond with those
of the editor of the STAR published in late num-
Der of that paper, and heretofore alluded to in the
Crescent. The Star says:

States not before counted we see by our last mail from

New ORLEANS SABBATH REcREATIoNs.--The |

Purtanical notions that the day may be kept in as
orderly a manner here as in cities where custom
requires the sqlaring of ones conduct and looks |
by sanctmonious code. People yesterday-hun- |

to enjoy the natural beauty of the day, and the
respite which it always brings from weekly toll and
cares. The churches had their attendants in the
the squares and the shady sides of |
the streets in the afternoon But it was from sun
down till nine o'clock that the greatest pleasanness
seemed to prevail. Then might be met with, in
