By the latest dates from Mexico we learn that
the Mexican Congress has rejected, by a large
majority, the proposition for peace submilted by
the United States. The Government Of that per-
fidious and degraded people seems determind to
hold on and fight on, and certainly no alternative
is now left the United States but TO crush Mexico
into submission-to barrass her coasts and defeat
her armies, until she sues for peace.


1t is also stated that Santa Anna had written 10
the Mexican Congress that he must have eight
millions of dollars to carry on the war, or the
cause was lost; that Congress was in debate as to
whether it should con6scate the Church property
to The use of the Army; and that upon the back
of this the Church threatened 10 e1eomm~nieate
Santa Anna, the Congress, the Army, and the
whole crowd


Gen. Vega had arrived at Mexico.


Gen Scott was at Brazos st. Iago on the 12th
January, but expected IN few days to meet Gen.
Taylor at Tampico or Victoria.


We clip from the New Orleans Bulletin of the
21st ultimo the following notice of the war move
mcnts going forward at that place:


"The utmost activity prevails in the Quarter
masters and other departments in this city, cx-
peding troops provisions stores, ETC., to the coast
of Mexico feet of transports and store ships is
now preparing and is to be ready by 26th inst -
the ships are generally of large size and among
the finest in port--they each to take on board
four months water and provisions for 400 men
they are chartered by the Government for three
months and their destinatisn is kept perfectly Sc
cret, nor will their orders be opened until after
they get to sea.


@N would appear 10 be special expedition, that
will assemble at some common rendezvous, anG
the whole force employed will be about 10000
men, of which the larger portion will 60 from this
port-one regiment we understand, will cmba k
at Mobile, and we presume the regiments from the
Atlantic States will come round by sea- to Join the
main body on the Mexican coast.


We do not pretend to have any correct idea
where the storm is to burst. but we hope on the
city and castle of Vera Cruz, and as Gen, Scott
has returned to the coast after wishing Monterey and
seeing Gen. Taylor, we presume the expedition,
whatever may be the object will be uuder his inn
mediate command"
