Upon recurring today 10 the accounts from
Mexico, we have again to remark that the repre-
fsentaIons Of the news made from Vera Cruz and
from Puebla differ. From the former city the
accounts are decidedly more favorable TO peace
Ihanfftom Pueba. This is probably to be ex-
planned by the fact that gentlemen in Vera Cruz
derive their impressions very much from the Eng
lish who are aware of the efforts making by their
Minister to bring about negotiations for peace and
prevent the city of Mexico from falling into our
hands When we have more room at our COM
-mand, We shall have more to say about the prob
abilities for peace; we content ourselves today
by giving our readers every facility for their own
opinions by the ample correspondence we offer
them. With this view we present the following
translation of letter of the latest date from the
cny Of Mexico, written by foreign merchant
established there to his correspondent in Vera
Cruz aaas 1n- segsg+ 10 .r.nr.z t 'as
