The Great Western, with intelligence from Europe to the 25th ult., will be due at this port to-morrow, her regular day of arrival The Caledonia will be the next steamer due after the Westein. She left Liverpool on the 4th inst. The Mexican War—The Rumors of Peace English Mediation. The community has been much excited for a the circulation of a rumor that ic nature had been made by the Mexican nment to the Cabinet at Wash- ington, which would, it was thought, be accept- ed, and the war ended in a short time—in eight weeks, as some have stated. We have taken some pains to investigate the cause of these ru- mors, and we believe we have it now in our pow- er to state that some sort of a proposition had been made; but instead of being received, was said to have been declined. We are informed upon pretty good authority, as good as any in this matter, that the propo- sal came in two shapes. One was for an armis- tice of six months, during which time negotia- tions were to be carried on; and the other was for the cession of California to the United States, anda payment by us to Mexico of fitteen mil- lions of dollars, or thereabouts, and each party to pay its own expenses of the war. This proposition, whether made or not, is characteristic of the Mexicans, who, it would appear, are determined to trifle still longer with onr government and people. They first commit a series of depredations on the property of our citizens—neglect to pay for the damages—decline to receive a commissioner vested with full power to settle all difficulties be- tween them and the United States—then invade our soil and drive us into war; and after allou, | arrangements for carrying it on effectively and speedily conquering a peace, are periected, they come forward when they find themselves inista- ken in the estimate they formed of our resources and strength, and offer, as terms of peace, a pro- posal that we shall pay all the expenses that she has made us incur—give her fifteen millions of dollars besides, she ceding to us the territory of California. The action of the Cabinet and the Senate in rejecting the proposition, if they have done s0, is worthy of all praise, and will be sanctioned and ratified by the American people. It may be interesting to our readers to go back awhile and see the manner in which this offer on the part of Mexico was probably made, and where it probably or vd. It will be recol- lected that Sir Robe n the House of Com- mons, declared that d offered to mediate between us,in order to stop the farther effusion of blood; but the Union,from time to time,denied that that any offer of the kind und been submitted to the cabinet at Wash For once we believ British minister. nerable editor of the organ was correct in thi Mr. Pak- enham has probably never tendered the offer, but that he is empowered to do so is beyond doubt.— Tt is now understood that befor had moved in the matter, he directed Mr. Bank- head, the British minister in Mexico, to express to the Mexican administration the views of the ministry on the war, and its determination not to aid the Mexicans in any way in prosecuting it against us. The same steamer that conveyed this despatch to Mr. Bankhead, also took the offer of mediation to both governments, and the treaty for the settlement of the Oregon question, but it is understood that Mr. Paken- ham was instructed not to tender it to the United States until he should ascertain the nature of the reception it met with in Mexico. The set- tlement of the Oregon question was altogether unexpected in Mexico; and there is no doubt that Paredes counted upon hostilities grow- ing out of it, and upon receiving the assistance of Great Britain in the struggle with the United States. The news, therefore, of the settlement of the Oregon question, coupled with the state- ment that England would not interfere in the war, disconcerted all his plans,and left him no al- ternative but to carry on the war with fearful odds against him, or sue for peace. Instead, therefore, as near as we can ascertain, of directly accepting the offer of mediation, he probably chose to make the proposal which we have spoken of above; and itis very likely that the proposition has been made through Mr. Pakenham, who, perhaps, h: the opportunity to offer the mediation of England for the settlement of the trouble. This proposition has probably been rejected, as we have already stated, and it remains now with the administration to exhibit more energy and vigor than ever in prosecuting the war. We believe such is the determination. Noone can view the formidable preparations now on foot to attack Mexico on all points, without being of opinion that they will certainly be sufficient to conquer a peace on any terms we may choose to dictate, We are not of opinion that moral suasion will affect much with Mexico, and we, therefore, look zton b i >that t denial upon all these movements for peace as having a | tendency to prolong the war. Our government must strike ; there must be no flinching—no fal- tering. ‘ Our New Packer Suirs.—The Bavarians, who are a good people and brave soldiers, will be de- lighted with the new packet ship which has just been launched in this city, and called the ** Bava- ria.” All the Bavarians in France will visit her on her arrival at Havre, and think truly that Capt. Howe, her commander, is a splendid captain. We like the Bavarians, and are glad that such @ magnificent packet bears the name of their country. We believe thatthe beauuful girls of Munich intend to send a magnificent set of colors to Capt. H., wrought of tue rich silks of that fine city by their own delicate hands ; und whenever they repeat their paternoster, they will throw in an invocation to Old Neptune to take care of the new packet as she glides over the Atlantic. We understand that the Bavarians here, head- ed by the esteemed consul of that country, resid- ing in this city—Geo. H. Seiman, Esq.—talk of presenting some rich testimonial to the ship be- fore she sails on ber first voyage to Havre. The increase of new Packet ships, like the Ba- varia, is indicative of the great prosperity of the lines now in existence Increase of SQUADRON 1N tHe PaciFic.—We have received intelligence trom authentic sources that the United States ship Ohio, thoroughly fitted and manned, is to be sent to join the squadron in the Pacific forthwith. On her arrival there, Cap- tain Stringham, who goes out as Commander of the Ohio, will take command of the Indepen- dence, and Commodere Shubrick will hoist the broad pennant on board the line of battle ship. ‘The addition of the Ohio, carrying 105 gans, and the razee Independence will be of yrear in por- tance to our Pacific squadron, and wil| probably render it superior in those waters to that of any other nation ; besides, their appearance will have an excellent effect on all the South American re- publics west of the Andes, who seldom see one of our wooden castles of this size in their Waters. Sir Robert Peel | Tue Progress or Scrence In AmEnica.— taken in the social position of the nations of the world, have been a matter of astonishment tothe older European governments. For many years we were looked on asa race of mere clearers of land and hewers of wood, until the magnificent cities and splendid expansion of their trade and importance, have spoken in unmistakable lan- guage the onward march of intelligence and energy Butit is not alono in commerce and its ramifi- cations that our country has advanced; education has reared wp among us many, whose name: have ecquired an immortality in the records of that most splendid of all republics, the Republic of Science. Political parties rise and fall; particular mea- sures are advocated, and carried amidst appa- rently the most intense excitement of the whole Union; but still the calm even flow of scientific research is conducted; and when fierce and ar. dent politicians have had their say, and attained | their obiect, its benefits are appreciated, and more than anything else conduce to amplify our | natural resources, Go where we will, through- | out the length and breadth of the land, we find colleges established, and science advancing. The fact is, that we are an intensely inquiring | people; and unlike the trodden down masses of Europe, who pass their days in a species of ani- mal torpor, we are always anxious to investi- gate and trace out every new subject that may be started. To this may be attributed the high de- gree of excellence to which the various profes- sions have attained among us. The opinions of our law courts are quoted as high authority in England. The experience of our medical men is referred to as positive evidence. The works of our painters and sculptors are appreciated in the highest degree. In fact our young nation hascon- | tributed as much, if not more, towards the ad- vancement of the arts and sciences than any other nation in the world.

Having already noticed the leading incidents of this piece, which are drawn froma | melancholy affair that happened shortly after the last | war, we do not think it necessary to recapitulate them. ‘The cast is capital,and enables each performer to shine in his own particular line. ‘The applause, which is nightly | poured forth, is good proof of the estimation in which it | isheld. It will be repeated to-night, with Don Juan for an afterpiece. Greenwich Tueatar.—A very respectable house tes- | tified their pleasure, last evening, with the varied perfor | mances, by enthusiastic and well-timed applause. Mr. | Wood, as a pantomime actor, is one of the best in the | country: and those who have uct yet seen him, will have | a fine ppnow of judging of his superiority this eve- | ning. ‘Two ster! g dramas will be produced, in both of | which Mr. Wood will sustain important characters The drama of My Poor Dog Tray,” written expressly for | Mr. Wood, gives hima ‘scope for the display of his | | City Intelligence.

These letters are | written by a gentleman of education, who has been a resident of Buenos Ayres for a number of years; and who is every way qualitied to give a | clear, impartial, and unprejudiced narrative of | the evests that have transpired since the com- mencement of the difficu'ties that have induced | the French and English governments to interfere, | | in the way they have, between the contending | parties and factions. The objects that these governments had in view in forcibly interfering in the affairs of South Ame- | rica, are pretty well known in this country; but our correspondent’s letters will throw more light | on them, and expose to view the perfidy and | treachery of which their ministers and agents | have been guilty. Itis gratifying to know that thus far all their | designs have been frustrated; and that, instead of succeeding in their intentions, these governments now regret having identified themselves with any ot the hostile leaders; and are anxiously waiting for a favorable opportunity to turn up, which will allow them to retire without any more disgrace | than that which already attaches to them. European nations, and England especially, have | never been permitted to reap many laurels in | America ; and we trust they will learn wisdom from past experience, and mind their own affairs | in future. Newspaper Accuracy.—Seven or eight days | ago, on the arrival of the berk Rapid in this city, | from Havana, we translated some news for this paper, which was copied verbatim throughout | the country, as usual, without credit. Amongst | others, the Norfolk Beacon copied it; and on the | 6th, we saw it in one or two of our city papers, and in the Boston Advertiser on the 7th, as late news, | and credited to the Norfolk Beacon. This is but one case out of a theusand; but we mention it be- cause the Boston paper prides itself upon its ac- | curacy. | AnoruER GREAT Fire 1n Canapa.—We learn from the Montreal Herald, of the 6th inst., that the village of Laprairie has probably been whol- | ly destroyed by fire. Annexed are the particu- Jars so far as received :— Last evening about seven o'clock, a fire was noticed in | the direction of the above named village. Shortly after | | the fire assumed amore fearful appearance, and at the | time wi ‘ite, the whole place appears to veloped | | in flames. Oni the small steamars, and the only one | in port, was dispatched to Longueuil’ at about half past | | nine o’clock, with the hose company and a fire engine | | on board, which we fear will arrive at too late an hour to be of any service. A person connected with our office as taken | proceeded to the scene of disaster, for the. purpose of presenting our readers with the ulare at as early an hour as time will permit. We have heard of no particulars connected with this fearful calamity, and can- not, therefore, say whether any lives have been lost— ‘We need not’ sey that this village contains upwards of 700 houses, nearly all of wood, and about 3,000 inhabi- | tants.

He proposes to abelish the Court of | Errors, and in ite place to organize a Court of Appeals, | consisting of a chief and nine associate justices. Abolish. es the Court of Chancery, and in its place proposes to organize a Court of Equity, to consist of not less than five judges. In regard to the Supreme Court, he pro- court of thirteen judges, to consist ofa chief and wociate justices, to be divided into tour classes of three justices tice to hold terms in bank for two years, to be succeeded for the next two years by three other judges, and so through each class; the Chief Justice acting with each class, as they come up in their order. divided into five judicial districts, of which New York shall be one; in the remaining four districts provision is to be made for holding the terms ofthe Supreme Court. ‘The four districts are to be sub-divided into eight dis- tricts, for each of which a president anes to be ap pointed, who with two judges to be elected in each county, are to attend to the judicial business therefor, both civil and criminal.

Fashion and Folly—Concerts and Cash-saving— Yachting, §c. Newport is at the present writing, the centre of fortune, fashion, family, fan and frolic—in short the summer metropolis of this great country. All the fashionable world—his fashionable wife and his marriageable daughters are here. | _ And yet amidst all this gaiety there is no confu- sion, no rioting, no rowdyism to allay the sweet stillness of this country life, and only that you are reminded by the hundreds of lovely beings that promenade the piazza—by the scores of brilliant | @quipages that pass you in the streets—you might | imagine yourself living in the retirement of a se- | cluded village. I have been in Newport since the latter part of June, and I have not yet seen a single case of drunkenness—nothing approaching it. who do, seem for the time to throw asifle the ha- bit and live soberly. In fact drtnking is not so | much a habit asa fashion, and where it is not | | fashionable there willbe little of it done. The | | citizens of Newport do not desire to make it fash- | to tempt the sauntering idler. Drinking in the ho- | | tels is generally done below stairs, and very quiet- ly atthat. The free bold swagger of rowdyism is | here frowned down by one and all, and a rowdy | would here be as much out of his element as a | fish out of water. The season is slipping | amidst scenes of well-bred gayety. e have at | | one or the other ot the hotels a ball nightly, but | where there is no regular ball there is dancing | | enough to satisfy the most untiring disciple of | Terpsichore. Last evening there was to have been a concert at the Atlantic Hotel, given by a band called the Apollo Vocalists. Gn entering the place at a somewhat late hour, we were informed that the | concert was not to come off. it appears that the interior of the dining saloon, in which the concer: was to have been given, is exposed by reason of the large windows and ve- | netian blinds, to the promenaders on the piazza ; and a great body of these, thinking it an unneces- | sary outlay to purchase tickets, while they could | | as well hear the singing from witheut, remained | upon the piazza, and crowded around the win- | dows. This gratuitous listening caused such a thinness on the part of the audience within, that | the *‘Apollos” were obliged to psstpone the per- | formance. To-night, however, the famous Alleghanians | are to sing in the great saloon of the Ocean House. They will be properly protected by the worthy | proprietor of this establishment. nee yt err Alexander, the magician, has got his bills | in circulation ; so has Northall and De Begnis ; | and Yankee Hill, we believe, is coming.

Last evening the Bay of | Newport exhibited a scene perhaps as striking as | any you have ever witnessed “ beyant the Bat- | tery.” The yacht squadron, with their distin- | guished commodore at their head, left the bay at | about five o’clock, carrying up the Narragansett | as fair a freight as ever was borne over salt-water. | | A sort of general invitation had been extended to | the many ladies now residing here, and it was | as generally accepted. Every Cems carried its | load of beauty and fashion, and along with the squadron went two efficient bands of music. | After sailing several miles among the green | isles of the Narragansett Bay, and admiring the | classical and picturesque scenery of the shores, | the party returned, making the harbor of New- | | | | | | port, about half-past 8 o’clock. Then commenced the firing of cannon—the whizzing of rockets, and the cheering of the dif- ferent crews, answered by the crowds of specta- tors from the shore. During the space of an hour, nothing was heard but music and cheerful shout- ing—the fine bay exhibiting one scene of brilliant gayety. After a sufficient time spent on the wa- ter, the gallant yachters rowed their fair guests to | the shores, and a regular hop at the Ocean House | wound up the pleasure of the ey To-day has been the first hot day of the season. Ihave never, until to-day, heard the complaint of | hot weather ; in fact, there is no such thing in | Newport, ifwe except a day or two in the month of August. 1 would send you the aititude of the thermome- | ter, but I have always looked upon th:s as a piece of nonsense. A thermometer is about as inefficient in describing the hotness or coolness of a particu- | lar place, as the poker ora ee of tongs. I have often wondered that it should be so generally used | | as_a guide. j ‘The thermometer in Newport might be 100 de- grees, and yet the seabreeze all the time as cool asa cucumber.

A letter was read from Mr. Baker, of Connecticut, | upon the principle of overtopping barren land with | straw or coarse hay, a system preductive of rich and in- | creased vegetation. Mr. Allen confirmed the views of | | Mr. Baker, from his own experience; and an article was, read on the topic of “Gurneyism,” or 0 ping of land, which appeared to have resulted in England, to the satisfaction of the gentleman with whose name | this novel but plausible system is identified.

There were a number of rumors afloat in the city, in | relation to our affairs with Mexico, but they were in such shape, as tocreate very little confidence. Weheve no doubt but that proposals have been received from Mexico, but we believe they were of such « nature, as | our Government could not accept. It ls the general im- pression that the Government of Mexico is making ef: forts to obtain an armistice, that all it wants is time, that it only wishes to protract operations as long as possible, to swell the oxpense and to increase our difficulties, This is the system of warfare the Mexicans wish to car- ry on, and there is very little doubt but that they will succeed in their object. They have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by so doing.
