Later from The CitV of lIPyirO,

L ne brig Nldgeon, capt. Stanwood, arrived
last evening from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed
on The 23i ut. Though she is no later from
Vera Cruz than previous arrival, have by
her brief accounts from the city OF Mexico to the
l9.h Of January which is six days later than the
advices brought by The Edith.
The British courier arrived from the city Of
Mexico at Vera Cruz on the 22d uIt. This cour-
ier was robbed on his way up to Mexico, and twice
on his way down; bat he lost none of his CORE
spondonce.
The express mau who took up the Presidents
message for the American Star was murdered on
his way down.
Our correspondent writes us from Vera Cruz:
That there are peace propositions their way
10 Washington from the Mexican Government.
there remaics not a doubt. But no one here has
positive information as TO the true character Of
these propositions. Some one OF the thousand
versions may chance to he the correct one.''
The letter from which this is extracted is dated
the 22d from Vera Cruz, and from u source upon
which we rely with confidence.
The American train left Mexico for Vera Cruz
on the l4lh of January, and Major Van Buren,
or the PaymaseT's Department was in company
as bearer Of dispatches. The train expected
TO arrive at Vera Cruz about the Ist or 2d lust.

As the courier which came down
clusively for the British legation, we have
nothing from our correspondents in the city of
Mexico.
The Arco Iris has seen letters from the city
of Mexico dated the 18th January, which say
positively that peace has already been made,
and it adds that people of truth assert that the
Government and the authorities would very
shortly be transferred 20 the city of Mexico
We have been allowed TO, make an extract
from private letter received by commercial
