G, THE PEACE RUMORS. [From the New Orleans Bulletin,} Letters were received in this city yesterday, from Tampico, stating that recent advices from the eapital mentioned that Mr, Bankhead, the British mninister, had been requested by the Mexican authorities, to use his friendly offices, in order to bring about an arrangement with the United States. We do not, ourselves, place much reliance on the rumor, as we know of letters, from high sources, in the city of Mexico, which stato that, though many are in favor of peace, no one dare avow sucha sentiment, so strong {s the popular feeling against any accommodation with this couutry, even though the capture of the capital is looked upon as a probable event. One letter says—“Though we have no intention of fol- lowing the example of the Russians, by burning our city, nevertheless, the entrance of the Americans into the enpital will be as fatal to their army as Moscow was t the Freneh.”” ‘There is, of course, a good deal of brag- adocia in all this, but’ still we think it will be a very langerous move for Gen, Scott to cut himself loose from all his communications with Vera Cruz, and advance on the city of Mexico, until he has a much larger force than {s at present’ under his command. particularly since he has determined to discharge and send home, from Jalapa, at least four of the volunteer regiments, whose period of service was about expiring. GENERAL TAYLOR'S ADVANCE. (From the Matamoras Flag, May 8. People sometimes ask why it is that Gen. ‘Taylor did not follow up his victory at Buena Vista, and dash on the heels of Santa Anna into San Luis. The reason was apparent to all who reflected on his situation; but, for the information of all who ask, we copy the following extract trom a letter written by an officer in one of the Indiana regimen’ tioned at Monterey, toa friend in this city. ‘The letter is dated Monterey, April 26th, and the writer saya:— Col, Lane and myself have just returned from paying a visit toGen. Taylor at his tent. We found the old hero absorbed in business, but he treated us with mark- ed kindess and respect—he wins upon my esteem the moré Lsee of him. His plain, blant manners, are some- what forbidding at first introduction, but one soon comes to® proper appreciation of his ‘character. Ex- reasing my regrets to him that our regiment was not ikely to be allowed a participation in any of the battles, as its term of service was soon to expire, he remarked that it would have been a source of pride and gratifica- tion to have led us on to San Luis immediately after tho battle of Buena Vista, but that it would have been highly impolitic in him to have made such @ movement under the circumstances in which he was placed. He did not doubt but that he could have been in possession of the city before our time would have been up, but says its posscasion would have availed him nothing, a» the term of service of nearly all his force would bave expired in a brief period after reaching there, and then he would have had to fall back again to Saltillo. He gave me to understand that it was his desire that wo should reach New Orleans before our time was out, but that he found it necessary todetain us until our place is filled by the new levies. Unless the enemy again assail him, he thinks he will be able to start us for home in about twenty or twenty-five days. The Virginia regiment lately arrived, presents a very fine appearance, and the old Gencral seems much pleased with them. Since the battle, the Genoral xnys he has heard nothing from Washington city. Our regiment is enjoying good health, as are all the troops at this post. with the jon of the 2d Mississippi regi in| which there are several cases of small pox. S10N, ABPAIRS IN CALIFORNIA. Ggxriemen:—Mr. Theodore Talbott and Mr. Christo- phe® Carson, having jnst nrrived overland from Califor- nia, with lettors from Col. Fremont. | comply with what is, no doubt, the general wish, and give extracts from his lettera, I confine myself to what concerns himself and the Californians, giving nothing beyond the neces- sary mention of the fact of the dispute between the two highest officers in that country, ‘They will state their own care. I only give enough to show that, while the. dispute for command, Col. Fremont, a subordinate, will not decide between them by changing the position in which this dispute found him ; and in this heis right. I am an oldier soldier than any of them, and know that it {s not right for superior officers, contending for the com- mand, to throw the responsibility of deciding between them, on a subordinate, by giving him experimentas orders, to be obeyed or disobeyed at his peril, and espe- cially when the public service does not require such or- ders. Col. Fremont would not accept the responsibility of such decision, Ile left it to the superiors themselves, or to the President, to settle the point of authority, he being ready to conform to superior authority, when known and, in the meantime, to remain where he had been, and where the dispute found him. ‘Tho extracts given, besides the ground on which Col. Fremont stood in the dispute between the two highest officers, also shows his reasons for admitting Gen. Flores to # capitulation, and the good effects which resulted from it, in pacifying the country, and reconciling tho Californians to our rule. The treaty, and the immunit granted to some of the Californians, has been much ‘The extracts will show that they had a good and [ can say that,in my opinion, they were conformable to the law of nations, and as politic as they were just. ‘They have prevented a war of assassinations, and bound the vanquished to the victors by a stronger chain than force or fear. Talso send a wholy letter from the Governor General of the Californias, Don Pio Vico, written to Col. Fremont last September, in reply to one from Col (then Captain) Fremont. and which will be found of public interest in several respects. First, it acknowledges the complete conquest of the Californias at that time, Secondly. it shows that Governor Pico then complained of injuries done to himself and others by the American authorities at Los Angelos, Com. Stockton and Col. Fremont having then left the place. Thirdly,it shows bis reliance upon the personal honor of Col, Fremont. and his readiness to come back and assist Col. Fremont in presorving or- der and tranquility in the provinee, on receiving a pro- mise of protection from him. The whole letter is hono- rablo to the writer, aud to the receiver, and it ix unfor- tunate it was not received until four months after its date. and until long after Col. Fremont had gone to the north, It i# a pledge that, if Col. Fremont had remain- ed there, no insurrection would have taken place. ‘The most glorious title that the vanquished over gavo to the conquerer, was that which the Arabs bestowed upon Desaix, in his expedition to Upper . Egypt, in the year 1798. They called him the Just Sultan.

Benton, “A dangerous insurrection, of four months duration has just happily terminated, and the peace of the coun- try firmly established upon the basis of a treaty con- cluded by myself at Conénga, a plain which has become celebrated as @ battle field, among the Californians, A few days previous to this event (on the 8th and 9th of January,) the Californian cavalry, in inferior number, attempted to break a square of 500 men, supported by aix pieces of artillery, whieh constituted the entire and united foree of Commodore Stockton and Gen. Kearny. The action took place within a few miles of this city. and from Carson, who was in the engagement, you will have some details that would do houor to the best troops in the world. Drawing off their forees, and permitting Commodore Stockton to enter the city, the Californians retired to a position about midway between this and the Pass of San Fernando, at the foot of which is the mission of the same name. Arriving here on the 11th inst , with a force of four hundred riflemen and four pieces of artil- lery, | found the pass occupied by the Californian ad- vance. In the morning following, we effected the pas- ango, their advance retiring upon the main body, and about mid-day we encamped at the Mission. “Up to the 9th inst, I had received no communication from the officers in the south, and, with the exception of the action at San Pasqual, of which 1 had been in- formed Ms intercepted lotters* addressed by Gen.
