From MExIc I'VE are indebted to the clerk
of the Saladian for New Orleans papers of the
lst inst. We have no material change TO no.
tice in the market. There had been an arri-
val from Vera Cruz with six days later intelli-
gence. The following is the most important
intelligence received.
PRosPECTs OF PEAcE.-There is much reason
to fear that it would be impossible to assemble
quorum of the Mexican Congress at the seat
of Government. The absentees arrive very
slowly.
The Arco Iris, of the Goth ult, says that at a
preparatory meeting of Deputies held at Quere-
taro, on the 10th ult., it was resolved
/. That those Deputies who were not pres
ent should be called upon, and if they still
continued to absent themselves, the Governor
OF the States from which they were elected
should be informed, and they should be pub
lished in all the newspapers
2. That those gentlemen who answered the
first call should be again written to, informing
them that the number necessary to form quo
rum is very small, only their presence being ne
cessary to complete it.
3. That the substitute who was appointed
from Vera Cruz, in place of Sr. Conto, who was
elected Senator, be notified.
a. That the substitute for ST. Solana from
Jalisco. who was chosen to represent Zacatecas
be also called upon.
The same paper of the 18th ult. says: ''Vari-
GUS persons write to us from Queretaro that the
disorders committed by the officers are insuffer-
able, and the soldiers have become so infected
with their pronunciamiento mania, that Ger
tain very well known general, who possesses
the confidence of the government asserts 4hat
as soon as the Yankees have left, he will pro
nounce against the Federation.
The Free American, of the 2lst ult. has the
following remarks on the prospects of peace:
We see nothing as yet, to change our opin
ion in regard to the doubts which we have al
ways manifested about the probability of the
ratification of the treaty by the Mexican Con
gress. We announced, few days ago, tina
we had conversed with a gentleman from Mex
leo, who was of opinion that the members o
Congress would not vote for the treaty as rati
fed at Washington. We have since seen two
letters from influential men--one at Queretaro
the other at Mexico-who coincide with the
opinion OF the gentleman in question. Another
letter says, that should the members of Congress:
violate the Constitution of Mexico, by ceding
any part of the territory, the same member
will have to ask the United States to leave {
force OF several thousand men to keep order II
the Republic. The writer is ofopinion that 81
soon as the American troops will embark fol
the United States, the Governments will b,
overthrown, and that new causes for war will
be given to the United States BY the people o
this country. These are the opinions emitted
by the letter-writers, and such opinions ara
sometimes as worthy of consideration as news
pa per paragraphs.

PROPOSED CHANGE.-Ever since we COM
menced the publication of our Daily Paper we
have been hard at work endeayOring to CIPHER
out some plan to enable the hands in our office
to rest from their labors on the Sabbath, and
we have at last, we think, hit upon one that
will do it, provided there is no objection to it
by our subscribers. As at present arranged We
are compelled to set the type and do the press
work of Monday mornings paper on Sunday
and Sunday nights, for it would not answer to
print Mondays paper on Saturday; by that ar
Tangement we would be unable to keep up
would be stale and undressing. But, as we
have said above, we have hit ona plan that will
enable all hands tohave rest day on the Sab
bath, and still accommodate our patrons with
the latest intelligence that is to issue our
paper on Sunday instead of Monday. We have
no doubt that this arrangement will meet with
the approval of every subscriber. In case we
make the change the only work that will be
performed by any one connected with our office
on Sunday, will be the delivery of the paper,
WHICH, DIS IL VIII NC uohe early III liao iHoihHSs'
will not interfere with the exercises of the day
and viii also enable the youths in the office to
attend Sunday School.
Should any important news arrive on Sun
day-either by mail or boats, it will be issued tc
our subscribers imam extra free of charge, as soor
on Monday as it can be put in type.
We shall not make the change proposed un
less meets with approval from all our pat
rons. We hold ourselves bound to consul
Seir wishes before our own ease and comfort
and we hope that those who are unfriendly tt
the measure viii signify it to us or to the car
riers during the week.

Our ARMY IN MExIco.-The following are
extracts from letter dated getty of Mexico,
April g. to the editor of the N. o. Bulletin.
The editor says: "We have seen other COM
munications which speak in strong terms of
the growing decentralization of our army in
Mexico:H
We are beginning to reap the fruits of the
idleness and decentralization which have been
growing up here amongst our officers and
troops.
The robberies and murders, that were pre-
vailing in the neighborhood of the city, are
transferred within the wall, and house breaking
and robbing individuals in the streets are b.
no means uncommon.
Any observing, rejecting person, long since
would have known, that the gambling and de-
baucheries that prevail here amongst the Amer
lean officers TO great extent, must necessarily
terminate in degradation to themselves, and
modification to their friends. A great respon
sibility rests somewhere, for the outrages that
are committed here against the welfare of So
ciety.

sIRIsH UNIONS IN NEW YoRK.-We see by
the papers that the recent meeting of the Irish
republican union at Palmer's Opera House N.
Y. was numerously attended, at which the pro-
cess of the enrolment, and receiving subscrp-
lions for avowed purpose of sending men and
arms TO Ireland, was continued. The collec-
tons were received in crimson liberty cap,
on the end ola pole, and amounted 70 Sl65 81,
making with the sum on hand, S345 81. In
order to proceed legally and unmolested in
their purpose, they proposed toappoint COM
mittee to forward a remonstrance to Congress
against the act now in force, prohibiting the
fitting out Of any military arrangement, against
the dominions of any foreign state, in time Of
peace. Another society termed the New York
Irish confederation, recently held meeting
for similar purposes.
