Eds. Dea-The city oi Mexico is riie with
rumoTs in reference 10 peace; some nave II Thai
peace is made; others have 1t that commissioners
have gone on to Washington &c, &c; and thus
we have it up and down every day-peace AMI
war alternately. Believe nothing you hear from
oitv he irne js |
assure you no one, unless il is Gen Scott or Mr..
Tris,, knows anything more about ii Than "he
man in The moon" And these gentlemen are ez-
ccedingiy cautious in everything relating to the
movements OF the army, and everything connect
ed with il. The nearest that can come 10 The
present sale OF affairs, is from my corresPon-
dent al Querearo, who informs me tia!
there has been no treaty CONCLUDED, but he
adds: "The whole subject rests with the
Unled Sates-lhe Government OF Mexico
is willing 10 make treaty, and are pre-
pared and are strong enough 10 sustain it," Many
of the most Influential! men in The Republic, who
have heretofore bcea violently opposed 10 ma
king treaty, are now advocating il strongly
Those persons, who formerly belonged TO The ar
my and have been discarded by The Government,
are perfectly PROSTATE; their nhn@nce is nothing
on either side OF The scale. The Congress had
NOT yc, met at Querearo al the latest dates, buI II
was expected there would be a full meeting by |
the 18Th or 20Ih inst.
The brigade of Col. Riley is still at Tacubaya,
and the brigade of Gen Gushing al San Angel |
No movement OF troops for San Luis can take !
place before The LIST o! February, even ii General
Scott most earnestly desired it. The command
before it Stars from here, must be fully appointed
Tor FIVE or six months, as it will take that tme at
leas, before they would be able 10 make road
from San Luis 10 Tampico, by which they would !
be enabled 70 bring supplies from The later place.
AT present they are without one OF the most ne
cessary articles, clothing for such an expedition:
Gen. Scott has sen, twice TO Vera Cruz Tor II, and
both times has received very measFe supply; |
therefore be has had 10 resort 10 one OF the poor
est mean. OF procuring it-havns it made here.
