Important from Mexico—The Prospect of Peace. We were enabled to publish in our yesterday’s paper some highly important intelligence from the head-quarters of the American army, which no otherjjournal contained. This intelligence was | conveyed to Washington bya courier, who was despatched by General Taylor to the Cabinet, This messenger left head-quarters some days after General Santa Anna had arrived at the ca- pital of Mexico, and long enough to have permit: | ted him to offer propositions of peace, or for a temporary cessation of hostilities, with the view of submitting terms of peace, it he had been so disposed, " Another important item is, that the ministers cf France, England and Spain have given assur- ances to Santa Anna, in the most positive man- | ner, that neither he nor his government would receive one dollar, or the slightest encouragement in any way, that would encourage the prosecution of the war with the United States. ‘This information is very important in many re- spects, but particularly so in two. j On the one hand, it shows what we have stated?) in this paper on a former occasion, that Santa Anna, however so much his private opinion might be in favor of the propriety of concluding | @ peace with the United States as speedily as pos- sible, that he would, nevertheless, follow popular | opinion, and prosecute the war vigorously, if the | Mexican people so willed it. In other words, that | the popular will having recalled him from exile to take command of the army, he should consi- der himself the creature of the people, to carry out their will in this respect. It is also im- portant in another respect, that it indicates the foreign ministers at the capital of Mex- | ico had been made acquainted with the line | of conduct determined upon by Santa Anna, and wishing to undeceive him, if he count | ed upon the assistance of foreign powers in sus- taining him in pursuing it, they considered it ex- pedient to assure him, in the gravest manner, that in no contingency might he calculate on the slightest encouragement, by loans of money, or in any other way, from them. Santa Anna then, being thus thrown on his own resources, and being convinced of the im- possibility of receiving foreign aid, what course will he adopt in the present emergency? The Mason as Attorney General. Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, will, probably, | succeed Mr. King at the French court. These appointments are such as, we have }no doubt, will give satisfaction throughout | the country. They are about as good appoint- | ments, under the circumstances, as probably could be made. Of Mr. Bancroft’s mission to England we may say, that it will doubtless afford him facilities for completing and perfecting his history of the United States; and, indeed, in this point of view alone, without taking into accoung his other prospective services, the appointment will redouad to the interest of the nation. Movements or Tux Parries—Pourtiean Con- YENTIONS.—From the 15th of this month to the 15th of next, the wire pullers of all parties and sections, of parties will be hard at work, securing the nomination of their favorites. Noless than nine conventions will meet during that time in this State and city. What renders the results of the different con- ventions this year more than usually int2resting, is the fact that there is a number of candidates in each party aspiring to the gubernatorial chair, and that it will be pretty difficult to select any one man in each who will poll théwhole vote of the party. There are three prominent candidates of the whig party, John Young, Millard Fillmore, Ira Harris, each of whom has powerful friends, and each of whom is opposed by no inconsiderable portion of the party. The whigs are endeavoring to form a coalition with the abolitiomsts, natives, anti-renters and national reformers. Should they be successful in forming this coalition, they havea prospect of winning the race. Ira Harris is a whig and an anti-renter, and ifhe be taken up there is a strong probability of the success of the party. Fillmore is the candidate of the Bank and Scott whigs, and this portion of the party are so dogged and determined, and so averse toall ‘‘pro- gression” that neither Young nor Harris will ob- tain their warm support. But should the whigs manage their cards well, they will stand a fair chance of electing their ticket. The democracy are fast making up the many jittle quarrels that have divided the party for the last year, The tact they display in managing their affairs, and healing their difficulties on the eve- of a struggle with the common enemy, is extraor- dinary, and is worthy of imitation by the whigs. They will fight like cats and dogs the year round, but on the eve of an election, they are as brothers. They will probably take up Silas Wright, and if they do, nothing less than a com- bination of whigs, natives, abolitionists, and na tional reformers, can beat him. Silas Wright is not as popular as he was two years ago, but still there is sufficient strength and unanimity in the party to elect him. For our own part, we had entertained the idea | of putting up Robert H. Morris, our present post- master, for the office, thinking that thereby we would be greatly benefited, not so much by the change in the office of governor, as in that of post- master ; buton further consideration, our patriotic feelings obtained the mastery. We determined to stillendure the mismanagement of the post office, which is a matter eonfined to ourselves and our snbscribers, rather than inflict on the two millions and a half of pgople of this State, the misfortune of bemg governed by a man who would no sooner get into office, than he would be looking-after something else. We concluded, from sad expe- rience, that he neverwould be content with one office at a time, and we patriotically and devoted- ly chose rather to be ourselves annoyed and in- convenienced by his mismanagement of the post- office, than that the interests of the State should suffer. We trust our devotion will be duly ap- preciated. We verily believe, that if Mr. Morris were elected President of the United States, he would desire to have, in addition, the governor- ship of Liberia. The interests that will be represented at the approaching conventions, both of this city and popular will directs hima to prosecute the war, but how can he do it without means? His coun- | try is barren of resourees—her credit is gone, and | she has no means of borrowing money abroad. | Without money, which has always been and ever will be the sinews of war, how can he expect to successfully cope with the army and navy of a country like the United States, whose resources ace unlimited, and whose power and strength are | sufficient to crush his country? Without money he cannot raise or maintain an army. He is evi- dently placed in an awkward dilemma, from | which there is, apparently, no escaping. If the war be not prosecuted his administration will be- come unpopular, and a new revolution will place | another at the head of the government. And if, on the other hand, he shoud prosecute the war with all the vigor his limited resources will per- mit, he knows that all prospect of success is hope- less. His Minister, Almonte, has resided in the | United States many years, and is familiar with | our power and resources. | In either case, then, it would appear that his future prospect is none of the brightest, and in hoth aspects he sees disaster to his administra- \ tion, his own downfall. We are of opinion | that” the far-sightedness and cunning which | ‘have characterized his past life, will release him from the difficulties with which he is surrounded, and that he has already laid the foundation of a course of policy that will eventually add to his popularity, and bring about a peace—an inkling of which policy we think we can discover in the assurances given by the foreignyministers that he might not expect any aid from their governments. It may be that Santa Anna himself brought about this interview and } solicited these remarks from these ministers, for | the purpose of first impressing the people with the fact that they must rely on their own means | to carry onthe war. This will be an important | point gained, for the former rulers of Mexico have | flattered the people with the hope that foreign na- | tions would take sides with Mexico in the wat | with her powerful opponent, for the purpose of | weakening the United States,whose unparalleled | progress in wealth and greatness had excited their | envy. Let the people and the priests be once convin- ced that, if the war is to be prosecuted, the wealth of the churches and their own private means must be forthcoming for the purpose, and we think a reaction will occur in their minds that willbe | favorable to concluding a peace with the United | States, on almost any terms we may dictate, as | far as conceding territory may require. | If Santa Anna, therefore, could succeed in pro- | ducing this reaction in public opinion, he would soon propose an armist.ce and conclude a peace, and what is of more importancs than either to him, maintain his popularity. If he should not do this in the way we have marked out, the Englisb, French, and Spanish may be constrained to compel him to negotiate with us. ‘Tue New Minister To ENcLanp.—It is now at length officially announced, as was predicted by our Washington correspondent some time since, that Mr. Bancroft has resigned his secretaryship, and has received the appointment of minister to the Court of St. James. This appointment will, probably, give general satisfaction. Mr. Bancroft’s high attainments asa scholar, his gentlemanly deportment, good sense and business habits, fit him for the post assigned him, He has been sufficiently long in the cabinet to test his talents a8 a statesman, and we think Mr. Polk has manifested some wisdom in choos. ing him to represent us at the most important court in the worid. Mr. Mason. the present Attorney General of the United States, succeeds Mr. Bancroft in the Navy Department; and it is probable that Frank- | orders for the immediate di: | there to Mexico: State, are of the highest importance. The na- tives are feeling about for a popular candidate for governor, but if they run an independent ticket they will make no sort of show. If they wish for success, let them coalesce with the whigs,— If the whigs desire success, let them coalesce with the natives, abolitionists, and anti-renters,— If the democrats desire success, let them keep to- gether, unite their forces, and march in solid column, and show their huge paws and ragged breeches in all parts of the State. Let our advice be adopted by cach party, and we will venture to say, that, at least, someone of them will be victorious. ‘Travet To Evrorg.—We were informed yester- day, by a gentleman who is going to Europe, that | the price of passage in the Yorkshire, Capt. Bai- ley, is reduced to seventy-five dollars. It isan in- stance of remarkable skill and luck that this fa- mous ship hasmade sixteen trips to and from Li- verpool, and has never been thirty days at sea a¢ any one time. News From St. Lucia.—We have received the St. Lueia Palladium to the 15th ult., inclusive. ‘We make the following extracts :— “We learn, upon good authority, that a French b ri of war arrived at Fort Royal, Martinique, last week, wii i ch of the squadron ly: t This order has been obeyed in the sai ing of two fri ne corvette, and two brigs from Fort Royal. The vessels of war cruizing off Hayti, are order- ed to remain, and a ship hasbeen sent from Martinique, laden with provisions for them “It was in February last that we published a letter from Capt. McLean, of the brig Susan King, setting forth the grievous hardship to which British vessels were | subjected on arriving at Wilmington and the other ports | of the clave-holdi: tates of America, in being ebliged to land and maintain in prison all such of their'crews as | happened not to be “ white 7 rocieus con- | duct of the authorities at Wilmington, rd to the | crew ofthe Susan King,as represented by ‘Cane McLean, | Was of so extraordinary a sharacter, that some of our readers were inclined to viewfit as improbable or exag- gerat Fortunately, however, for the liberties of those British subyects that were in future to direct their enterprise to the ports of the United States, there was one here in an influential position, with whom that straight forward and manly narration was notto be ca- priciously thrown aside, uninquiredjinto or unheeded. No sooner had the statement appeared in the columns of the Palladium, than Capt. McLean was called up by his Excellency, Col. Torrens, and closely interrogated upon the circumstances of the case. The matter was then re- ferred to the Home Government by His Excellency ; and despatch from Lord Aberdeen, had received the attention of the British Minister Washing- ton has been instructed to see the oppressive restrictions complained o1 effectually abolished. “Since wri the above, wi e been informed that the effect of Lord Aberdeen’s interference has been already practically shown at Wilmington. The brigan- tine Evelina, which arrived a few days back from that port, has a portion of her crew black or colored men ;—- while the vessel lay at Wilmington, they were allowed to land at all times without molestation. Sporting Intelligence. | The splendid yacht Coquette, Capt. Perkins, arrived in our harbor on Wednesday afternoon from Boston. We learn that her running time from Boston was thirty- one hours; from Holmes Hole, a distance of nearly 200 miles, she run in seventeen hours. Most of the | time there was a very heavy sea on. She presents a beautiful appearance at anchor off the Battery. She is to have a trial of speed with Commodore Stevens’ now | yacht Maria. tees Musteal.

We have no doubt they will have a crowded house, ‘They arecer- tainly the most surprising children of the age, and their performances are as pleasing as they are astonishing — Master Cole’s instrumentation on the violoncello is re- ally surprising, and would not do discredit to a perfc of thrice his aren His sister’s execution ou the plese forte is equally extraordinary, and by its accuracy and brilliancy calls down repeated plaudits from the andi. ence. ‘e advise our Brooklyn friends not to lose this peta abe = of witnessing the performances of those wonderfully precocious ren.

Recess until 3) | clock, F. lin Pearce, of New Hampshire, will succeed Mr. | Pann Tusatax.—A crowded and fashionable audience attended last evening, on the occasion of Mrs. Kean’s be- nefit, notwithstanding tho unpleasant state of the wea- ther. The play was the “ Merchant of Venice,” in which ;Mr. Kean played Shylock as no living actor can play it. This part, which was the masterpiece of Ed- mund Keon, is one which fills the entire stage, and takes all eyes from aubi r. Of all Mr. Kean’s parts, it may be gle pointescapes him. Other actors may be greater in certain particulars—for instance, in | the part of Shylock we think that Anderson surpasses him in the frenzied expression of his uish for the ab- | duction of his ducats and his daughter ; but the truthful- ness of his reading, and the effectiveness of his points, | are not equalled by any living actor. H and correct than 5 Hit piece last evening | to be. ing that it ought to be ; but even it was cast into the shade by the | grandeur of the principal character. The other parts were well sustained. Mr.and Mrs. Kean appeared after | wards in the comedy of ‘‘ The Wonder” At the fall of | the curtain they were called out to receive the applause | of the audience. To-night, “ Richard III.” and “ The | Barrack Room.” Bowxky Tueatre.—The tragedy of ‘Romeo and Ju, | liet” was repeated at this theatre last evening, toa very large sudience,among whom we noticed the members of Lafayette Fire Engine company No.9, of Albany.— Miss Dean took the part of Juliet, and enacted it in her usual excellent manner, and Mr. Clarke that of Romeo, Mr, Booth as the Friar was capital, Mr. Neafie’s Mer- cutio was a sterling piece of act The audience were pleased with the performers throughout. The | “Ci mnter of Rouen” formed the seorgiace The Hi y of “Pizarro” will b formed ning, with Miss Dean as Elvira, Mr. Neafie as Rolla, Mr. Clarke as Alonzo, Mr. Booth’as Pizarro, Mr. Chanfra'u as Orozembo, and Mra. Jordan as Cora. This is a good | cast, and will ensure this tragedy being carried out in a superior style. After Pizarro, tae comedy of the ‘Lady and the Devil,” and the drama of “Warlock of the Glen,” will be performed. Those who wish to spend a pleasant evening had better go to the Bowery tonght. Greenwich Tueatne.—This tasteful theatre is doing athriving business under the enterprising managemen, of Mr. Freer, who supplies nightly entertainments of the most varied and agreeable character. With the val- uable aid of Mrs. George Jones, Mr. Stevens, Miss Crau- ford, and Miss Julia Drake, ho is enabled to produce theatrical performances on a most respectable scale — His plays are always put well upon the stage.

Chapman, sustain the principal parts. Mrs. Jones takes her benefit on Monday évening. Caste Ganpex.—As the season draws to a close, we perceive that our citizens are determined to enjoy as much as possible the performances at this establishment to the last moment they can. Notwithstanding the un- favorable state of the weather, last evening, there was a very large collection of people here, who appeared to be very much amused with the performances of the Buf- fo troupe, who are undoubtedly entitled to great credit for their admirable delineations of Ethiopian character. ‘Their songs are applauded nightly. by the audience.— Mr. Holman as a singer, and Mr. Thompson, the comic dancer, are great favorites with the public, and their merits duly appreciated. This evening the performan- ces will be both rich and varied, and we recommend all who can attend to do so. Mr. Hackert.—This sterling and favorite actor wil! appear in his great character of Falstafl, in the “ Merry ‘Wives of Windsor,” this evening, at Niblo’s. The bare announcement of his appearance in this character is suf: ficient to fill the house; but when it is stated that the celebrated Mr. Vandenhoff, Mr. Chippendale, Mrs. Crisp, Miss Taplor, Miss Phillips and Mr. Hunt will per the remaining characters in the piece, we must believe that the largest assemblage that ever congregated with- in tae four walls of Niblo’s, will be there to-night. It is arare thy to see such a powerful cast, and we hope the public will avail themselves of the treat. City Intelligence. Tux Steamvoat Exriosrox.—The Coroner was called yesterday to hold an inquest at the city Hospital, on the body of the man who came to his death on Thursday af- ternoon, by the explosion of the steam boiler on board the boat Excelsior. It was said in some of the morning papers that his name was Wynant, such, however, is not the case; his name is Daniel Slanson, a vative of North Canaan, Conn., and 78 years of age, and resided at Cox sickie. The jury rendereda verdict thatthe deceased came to his death in consequence of an explosion of the boiler or steam pipe of the steamboat Excelsior, whereby he was injured and scalded.

The United States vs. Giles Harris—In this case, no- ‘the jury this morning ; he told them that it was an ac- tion prosecuted by the United States against Giles Har- ris, to recover apenalty under the act of Congress, of 1845; the 10th section of that act prohibits the master or owners of vessels to carry any letter other than those relating to the cargo on board, and not being a maga- zine ornewspaper, under a penalty of $100, between places where a mail route is estal ed. On the part of the prosecution it was alleged that de- fendant was owner of a vessel running between Sag Harbor and New London, and carried a letter in 1845 between those places, and they further allege that there was a mail route established between them, and that the letter did not relate to the cargo, nor was it a magazine or newspaper. His honor next told them that it was insisted on the part of the defence, that the United States did not succeed m proving vhat they ed one inst the defendant, and it was for them to con: whether the allegations of the prosecutors had been proved or not. You are, therefore, first t» consider was the defendant’s vessel performing stated trips between those places? and, secondly, did she carry the letter which is the subject of this prosecution? @n the part of the defence, it is in: d that the proof does not show that she was regularly employed, but occasionally. In regard to this point, it is necessary to prove that she had stated and fixed periods of departure ; but it is not required by the statute that she leave on a fixed day and return on afixedday. The evidence on this head is not very specific. Mr. Gardiner says he knows her four or five years, and Las seen her reat many occasions =F r was not so employed. ficient to conyince you that she wasa trading vessel, running regularly three times a week between Sag Harbor and New London, it would be forming trips at stated periods. The next matter of feet alleg not to be proved by the United States was, that defend- ant was master of the vessel ; but that fact is sufficiently proved by Gardiner. Your ‘next inquiry willbe, whe- ther he carried the letter or not. From the evidence of Gardiner, ‘‘happel, Harris, and Sherry, you are to deter- mine this fact. There were some ge of law raised by the defendant’s counsel which the e ruled in fa- vor of the p vation, especially one with regard to the constitutiafality of the act of Congress, leaving it open to the defendant to bring those questions before the Supreme Court for correction, and concluded by telling the jury that if they believed the vessel sailed at stated periods, and the letter was carried and delivered by defendant, and that it did not relate to the cargo, the United States were entitled to the ‘dict. The jury retired, and shortly returned with a verdict for the de- fendant. John Robinson, late a sailor on board the ship Toronto, indicted for a revolt on board said ship, on her passa, from London to this port, was put on trial.

Persons who left the camp to-day, at 11 o'clock, say that the number is now ‘about 800, a force which many consider entirely adequate to enter Nauvoo with ; but the officers in command deem it best to. march with such a number as will bear down all opposition, and at the same time accomplish their ob- ject with as small a loss of life as possible e encam p- ment, it is expected, will receive a large accession from the adjoining counties between now and the resumption of their march, persons froi veral of them having visit- ed the posse, and found that it was the determination to enter Nauvoo, certain, this tit ‘hi Mormon camp is inds, the citizens of the county freely contri- buting anythi in their possession to further tho cause, without demanding or expecting any remuneratio: ‘A quantity of powder, canister shot and muskets, in- tended for Nauvoo, cameup on Sunday night last, and while they were being put into the wagons to be convey- ed there, affidavit was made before a magistrate that they were intended to be used for unlawful purposes, and they were Sccarainale stopped.

Williams, who had just returned from the seat of the disturbances, made a statement c the situation of affairs in Hancock county. Resolutions were then adopted by the meeting, that they had learned with indignation of the disgraceful capture and detention by the Mormons, of their esteemed fellow citizen, Col. John B. Chittenden; that said detention demands the severest retribution; that a committee of six be a to confer and co-operate with Colonel James W, Singleton, in reducing the Mor- mons to obedience, and effecting imme libera- tion of Col.

There is very little doing in the stock market. Prices remain without any material alteration, and there is not the slightest symptom of an improvement. Harlem fell off 3g per cent; North American Trust %; Farmers Loan 3s. Canton went up \4 ; Reading }; ; Morris Canal 34; Long Island, Norwich and Worcester, and Vicks- burg left off at yesterday’s pric: At the second board, the sales were largei at a decline in almost every stock in the list. The market closing heavy at the decline. It will be noticed by an advertisement in another column, that there will be a sale of Morris Canal Bonds on Tuesday next, at public auction. These bonds are secured by a mortgoge on the canal, the chartered rights | and all the property of the company, the total cost of which has been $6,250,000. The trustees for the mort- gage are Messrs. John I. Palmer, Zebedee Cook, and Theodore Dehon. Th: total amount of bonds authorized is $700,000, of which $440,000 have been issued at par by the company. The lot to be sold by auction, we learn, was hypothe cated when the stock and bonds were high in the market, and the party cannot now make good the loan, conse quently the sale by auction is required by law. Thet the security is undoubted, can scarcely be questioned, when it is copsidered that the property pledged for the $440,000, (or say $700,000, the whole amount required to thoroughly complete and stock the canal,) has cost five and one-quarter millions of dollars. We have reason to believe that some men of wealth and character have late- ly been induced, after thorough investigation, to take a considerable interest in both bonds and shares. If, for the purpose of depressing the bonds and shares, these bonds should be sold much below par, we think the pur- chasers will not regret their investment; but we ques tion if they will be allowed to be sacrificed.
