The Baltimore American has received, by express,
the following interesting news from Mexico,
Correspondence Of the NJ o. Picayune.
Mexico, Dec. 4, ls47.
The news from Queretaro since my last Is extreme
ly meagre and uninteresting. The council of Cow
eminent has at last broken up, and they have done
nothing except pledgng themselves to sustain the
Government In providing the means to meet its
penditures in all Its branches. The question OF peace
or war was reserved for the action of the General
Government Well informed Mexcans do not hest
tate to charge this result upon the partisans of Santa
Ana, who have been nnaccountably increased in
Queretaro by the accession of nearly all the Pros-
FoIas and one or Two others being the onlyexceptions
This party calling themselves Santanistas) are now
said TO be Matching another revolution to place Santa
ma at the head OF the Government and crush the
hopes OF the peace party, and this plot, II be-
heved, would be successful, mainly In consequences
oi the supneness and indecsion Of the Government.
President Anaya issued decree the Goth ult that
no elections should be held in any part of the Re-
public occupied by the Americans, but that the au-
thorities now in power should continue to exercise
these functions. From present appearances this
would be equivalent 10 giving the uyuntamientos Of
this and other places ifelease Of Office thing OPP
posed TO the democratic principle Of rotation and
therefore not likely 10 be carried into effect.

report has been in circulation in the city for some
days past that commissioners, empowered to treat
for peace, had sheen appointed by President Anaya,
and actually arrived here. This report, unlike the
thousand and one that are continually flying about
Is true. The names of the commissioners are Seniors
Cuevas, Atristan, and Couto and they appear 10 be
afraid to 20 to Washington as long as Santa Ana
is in the country. Mr. Trist appelrs TO have no pow
er in the premises and thus the matter stands.

II has now become pretty certain, (says cores

distinguished himself by his gallanlry in the last bat
ties before Mexico after throwing up his commission
Joined the Mexcans, and has received an appoint
