 Cvr an army of Mexico led hy her

 nv experienced General. Gen. Scott las captured the city of Vera Cruz, and what hns bsen declared impregnable, the Castle of San Juan, taking as prisoners and liberating them on parole not to serve again during the war another large, well appointed and disiplined force. The army concentrated at San Lnis is dispersed, disheartened and without supplies. San ,a Anna himself at the head of 4.0O0 troops the mere remnant of h is army, is in ,hc city of Mexico, not to streng,he n the efforts of the Priests to prevent Inc government from despoiling the church to raise means to carry on the war. The government is without resourse, or any means of paying or supplying military frrce, eptraised from the forcible con version of the property of the Church or individuals. In addition to these difficult ties, insurmountable of themselves, with n powerful, we'll supplied, and victorious army pressing forward to the capitol we canno, see how it is possible for Mexico 10 continue the War. Prido may restrain her rulers from sueing for peace but if an cf!er was now made by our government 10 open negotiations for peace on fai: and honorable terms, such terms as mag unanimous conquering nation, desirous of psase ough, to make, we can entertain no doubt of its being readily acceded to by the Mexican authorities. Certain are we that it would be joyfuly met by the Mex ican government and people, military and civil, if accompanied by the declar. alton, which the great mass of the Amor ican people desire, that the dismember- ment O. the Territory of Mexico is not cur object and will not be insisted upon as the condition ofpeace. Peace we think within the reach of the President, with- out compromiiing the honor of our flag or .he rights and wishes of our country. Will he take the proper steps to restore peace? We shall soon know.
