NEW YORK HERALD New York, Saturday, Oct ober 10, 1846. Notice. We find ourselves constrained to warn the pub- > against one or more individuals, who, for in- terested motives, attempt to palm themselves off as musical critics and general reporters for this paper. Lf,in any instance, anartiste, tradesman, mechanic, professor or convict is appealed to and is promised the use of the Herald for a *‘ consider- tion,” as it is called, the person thus appealed to may look upon the soi-distant reporter as an im- poster, and treat him as such. We shall give publicity to the names of one or two individuals, if we hear of any more of their impositions upon / the public. Our Wustrated Weekly. The Weekly Herald will be published at eight o’clock this morning. It will contain three excel- | lent illnstrations. Ist. Map of Tampico. 2d. Portrait of Camillo Sivori. 8d; The Mock Auctioneer. The first of these embellishments will be ac- companied with a description of the place, and of the route leading to the interior of Mexico; the second with a brief biography of the greatest vio- | linist of the age; and the third, we think, will, in | these days, speak for itself. All the important and interesting intelligence of the week will be found in this sheet. Single copies sixpence each. The Great Britain. There Were no tidings of this steamer when our paper was sent to press this morning. ‘The Intentions of Santa Anna.—Our Kela- tions with Mexico, We have lately received several communica- tions on the subject of our relations with Mexico. We give the following, as the writer seems to understand his subject, although he has evi- dently misunderstood us in relation to it :— Mr. Eprror: Lobserve that yourself and correspondents are con- stantly attributing to Santa Anna the fault of not enter- ing into immediate negotiations with our government He has enough other political sins to atone for; but in this yon do him injustice. J do not pretend to penetrate his | private opinions, and in his present situation it is next to jo, to escape @ partic th prevalent feeling ; but apart from this, if ft tives of policy, arising from a conviction or stro prehension that without an conte ences, there will be an additional lo; ap settlement of differ- pping off of the na- tional domain, he should feel anxious to adjust the lat- ter he dere not do it. You forget that this time, instead tator, he is now a slave to the popular atter has been brought into uncompro: to the United States by the Texas . mented by the subsequent events. Rreten fostered and availed himself of this to step into wer by the overthrow of Herrera’s administration. [Owes ons of his sbeolate ‘engagements to prosecute the war with the United States, He did not dare either to negotiate under any probability of adjus If, on looking more seriously at the matter, after his accession, he felt really any disposition to enter into, treaty, he was precluded from anything beyond entertaining the Unite! States government, till a change in public opinion could be effected.

Santa Anna i mised, person who enjoys general popularity the sa ‘ob- He re- ient to lly determined to render himself sul the popular will and not at present, if at all, to le: ie leclares he will take no responsibility with regard to the war with the United States, farther than he may be authorized by the sovereign Congress, and that all will be submitted to the latter, which it is designed shall be a true expression of national opinion. So the war must | inevitably go on till the meeting of Congress, and even longer, for this body having to reorgani the nation under ‘the federal system, the first measures, it would seem, must be theso, All’ this will occupy time, and if we tay judge from the very general antipathy to the United ‘States, Congress will not direct a negotjation until great reverses have modified and cl ie opinion. In the pre , it would scarcely do fo: in proposi- tions in such a way as even to suspend hostilities. Almonte is now at the head oi the war department. Whilst in Havana be affirmed that there were only 3000 regular troops engaged against General Taylor. That the remainder were undisciplined auxiliaries, and not to be depended upon. Great exertions have been made to forward troops and towards Monterey, and to excite the patrictism of on, denouncing us as vile invaders, and epithet that can te thought of.

' This rele: considerable regular force, and placed it at the dispo: Uon of the government for their operations at Monterey. Weknow that General Taylor will de more than equal force ; but the indications are, that if all the disposable force of the Mexicans is directed ogainst Taylor, it will be much greater than we have anticipated: Besides the advance into an enemy’s coun- try always creating # great advantage against the inva- dors, circumstances have changed—more unity in the government and more disposition to furnish means to sustain the war There will be a large force for Gen. | Tay lor to encounter, and a very sanguinary conflict, no joubt. W. This corresponds very nearly with our own views on this subject. But the question of Santa Anna’s sincerity or insincerity resolves itself into this.

It is our opinion that there was a tacit understanding between | Santa Anna and our government for the settle- ment of the difficulties between the two countries, ‘but that the former, on his arrival in Mexico, found it impossible, from the state of feeling among the Mexicans, against the United States, to open negotiations with us with any degree of safety to himself. We do not believe, however, that he will ever enter into a treaty of peace be- cause he loves us, but because he will be forced to the measure by necessity—by the rapid progress, southward, ofthe Anglo-Saxon race. Santa Anna is too intelligent—too shrewd a man to lose the first safe opportunity that may offer to stop the war. Asa statesman he sees plainly enough the necessity of a peace with us; the extension of the area of freedom, and his declared opinion against the projet of Paredes for amonarchy in Mexico, clearly indicate this; and we may, therefore, be sure that a vigorous prosecution of the war on our part will assist both Santa Anna and ourselves, to a speedy peace. One or two Palo Alto’s or Resaca dela Palma’s, will convince the Mexicans of the folly of along war with us; and when they are convinced—when there is a change in the sentiment of the Mexican people towards us, then Santa Anna will probably be ready for negotiation. Itis therefore clear that our government have now adopted the right course ; to carry on the war vigorously, and forage upon the enemy. New Jsnsey Powrrics.—We published a ad- vertisement in yesterday’s Herald, headed “Fitth Congressional District of New Jersey,” in which Mr. D. 8. Gregory was called ali sorts of names. Now, Mr. G. may bea very good man, and thi advertisement ought not, therefore, to have ap-* peared in our paper. We do not mean, at any rate,to have the Herald used, in any way or shape, to spoil the chances of any candidate for office. We wish all politicians, great or small, to bear this if mind.
