Most Excetuenr Sine: By order of his excellency, the President ad interim of the republic, as resolved in a council of ministers, | have the honor to place in the hand of your excellencies, that you may submit it to the sovereign Congress, at its first meeting, a copy of the official note, addressed by the Secretary of State of the United States to this ee under date of the 16th of April last, in which he declares that the President. of that sepublic intends to despatch, as a commissioner, to the headquarters of the army operating in Mexico, Nicholas P. Trist, Esq., with full powers to conclude a —” treaty of peace with the Mexican United tates. 1 likewise transmit to your excellencies, for communi- cation to the sovereign Congress, a copy of the answer which the most excellent President resolved, in a coun- cil of ministers, to have made to the sbove mentioned note ; his Excellency feeling asgured that the august as- sembly, to which is’ reserved the deterraination on the affair to which the present communication relates, will despatch it with the promptness and wisdom to be ex- pected from its patriotism and its distinguished enlight- enment. I repeat to your excellencies, on this occasion, the as- surances of my high consideration. DOMINGO IBARRA, loory. To his Excellency, the Minister of Foreign Relations of the Mezican Republic. Devart™ or Starr, ‘Washington, 16th April, 1847. Sin: Ihave the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency’s note of the February last, in an- swer to mine of the 18th of January, proposing on the part of the President of the United States, immedi- ately to “despatch either to the Havana or Jalapa, as the Mexican government may prefer, one or more of our most distinguished citizens as commissioners, clothed with full powers to conclude a treaty of peace with similar commissioners on the part of Mexigo, as soon as he shall be officially informed that the Mexi- can government will appoint such commissioners.”” ‘The President deeply regrets the refusal of the Mexi- can government to accede to this friendly overture “un- less the raising of the blockade of our (the Mexican) ports, and the complete evacuation of the territory of the republie by the invading forces, shall be previously accepted us @ preliminary condition.”’ ‘The President has instructed me to inform you that this “preliminary condition” is wholly inadmissable. Such a condition is neither required by the honor, nor sanctioned by the practice of nations. If it were, this would tend’ to prolong, wars, especially between con- terminous countries, until the one or the other power was entirely subdued. No nation which, at the expen- diture of blood and treasure, has invaded its enemy’s country and acquired possession of any considerable portion of his territory, could ever consent to withdraw its forces as @ preliminary condition to the opening of negotiations for peace. ‘ihis would be at once to aban- don all the advantages it had obtained in the prose- cution of the war, without any certainty that peace would result from the sacrifice. Nay,more : should such & negotiation prove unsuccessful, the nation which had thus imprudently withdrawn its forces from the enemy's territory, might not be able to recover without a cost of blood and treasure equal to that first expended, the ad- vantageous position which it had voluntarily abandoned. Fortunately for the cause of peace and humanity, the history of nations at war, affords no sanction to such a preliminary condition. The United States are as jea- lous of their national honor as any power on the face of the earth, and yet it never entered into the contempla- tion of the great statesmen who administered our go- yernment during the period of our last war with Great Britain, to insist that the latter suould relinquish that part of our territory of which abe was in actual sion before they would consent to open negotiatious for Peace. On the contrary, they took the initiative, and appointed commissioners to treat for peace, whilst por- tions of our country were held by the enemy; and it is a remarkable fact, that the Treaty of Ghent was conclud- ed by the plenipotentiaries of the two powers whilst the war was raging on bota sides ; and the most memorable of the contlicts to which it gave rise took place upon our own soil, after the negotiators had happily terminated their labors. History is full of such examples. Indeed, so far a3 the undersigned is awaro, there is not to be found, at least in modern times, a single case except the present, in which it has been considered a necessary preliminary that an invading army should be withdrawn before negotiations for peace could coumence between. the parties to the war. It would also be difficult to find 4 precedent for the course ge by the Mexican government in another particular. The President, anxious to avoid the war now existing, sent a minister of peace to Mexico for this purpose. After the Mexican forces haa attacked the army of General Taylor on this side of the Rio Grande, and thus commenced thé war, the President, actuated by the same pacific spirit, made repeated overtures to the Government of Mexico to negotiate fer its termina- tion. And although he has from the beginning solemnly declared before the world that he desired no terms but such as were just and honorable for both parties, yet the Mexican government, by refusing to receive our OKETS Fi V RE—BECOND 5 PACRETRE Dia Je hes K—-BECO! the first of August, 10 minister, in the first place, and afterwards by not acceding to our overtures’ to open negotiations for peace, has never afforded to this government even the opportunity of making known the terms on which we would be willing to settle all questions in dispute between the two republics. The war can never end whilst Mexico refuses even to hear the proposals which we have always been ready to make for peace. The President will not again renew the offer to nego- tiate, at least until he shall have reason to believe that it would be accepted by the Mexican governm voted, however, to honorable peace, he is determined tl the evils of the war shall not be protracted one day longer than shall be rendered absolutely necessary by the Mexican republic, For the purpose of carrying this determination into effect with the least possible delay, he will forthwith send to the head-quarters of the army in Mexico, Nicholas P. Trist, Esq, the officer next in rank to the undersigned in our department of foreign affairs, as a commissioner invested with full powers to conclude @ definitive treaty of peace with the united Mexican States. This gentleman possesses tne entire confidence of the President, and is eminently worthy of that of the Mexican government. ‘The undersigned refrains from all comment upon the concluding paragraph, as well as some other portions of our Excellency’s note; because the strong sense which mtertains of their injustice towards the United States, could not be uttered in the friendly tone which he desires to preserve in the present communicatioa,— He turns from these, therefore, to dwell, ag he does, with unfeigned pleasure upon the sentiment contained in an early part of the same note, wi the Mexican govern- ment expresses how painful it is ‘to seo disturbed the sincere triendship which it culti republio, whose continued 2 mired, and whose institutions have served it as a model.” This feeling is most cordially reciprocated by the President, whose earnest desire it is that the United Mexican States, under institutions similar to our own, may protect and secure the liberty of their people, and — an clevated standing among the nations of the earth, ‘The undersigned embraces this occasion to offer to your Excellency the assurance of his most distinguished consideration. JAMES BUCHANAN, [rmanseation.) To His Excellency the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Froenat Patace, June 22, 1847. ‘The undersigned, Minister of Internal and Foreign Re- lations, had the honor to receive your Excellency’s note, dated 16th April last, in which you declare that his Ex- cellency the President of the United States intends to despatch, as a commissioner to the headquarters of the army operating in Mexico, Nicholas P.

The Mexican loss not ascertained. Lt. Rogers understood the Mexicans were commanded by Col.

Commodore Perry was preparing to sail for Tabasco, Nothing later had been heard trom Gen, Scott, and there was no news at Vera Cruz. ‘The Raritan and the Potomac, the former from Tabasco and the latter from Vera Cruz, had sailed for Norfolk. ‘There were lying at Anton Lizardo the steamships Misslesippt and Vixen,-and the ships Albany, German- town, John Adams, and Decatur, The health of the squadron was good. The Washington left Anton Lizar- do on the evening of the 4th inst. On the night of the 2d July, about 10 o'clock, shortl, after the officers and crew of the Mississippi had turne in, an alarm was heard from the engine room, from one of the engineers, calling earnestly to the firemen to bring buckets of water. The order had short- ly before been given to have steam at daylight, and the res had just been kindled. Smoke was at the same time seen to rise from the neighborhood of the steam chim- ney, and @ smell of burning pine wood was perceptible throughout the ship, =.For two or three hours the whole crew of the vessel was occupied in endeavoring to find where the fire was located, every part of the vessel being filled with smoke. The smoke was found at last to issue from two of the coal bunks, the contents of which had been fired by spon- taneous combustion. At onetime the heat and smoke in the engine room were perceptibly increasing, in de- fiance of the efforts made to arrest the progress of the fire, which was expected every moment to break out in flames still more unconquerable. Yet in this ship, loaded with powder and snells filled and fuzed, nothing was seen but order, subordination, and a universal effort cious instructions, enabled me to increase the land party to 240, with two pleces of artillery; and I also directed | the Vixen to ascend the river in company with the Scourge, to assist one another in cage of grounding. In conformity with these arrangements, | at 7 o'clock on the morning of the 30th,*(yesterday,) and at the same time the steamers got under way to ascend the river. At 9 olclock, when within about a quarter of # mile of the village, the enemy opened a fire of mus! trom the bushes on both sides of the road, where he ted himself in ambush. ‘This was promptly returned. yy the marines and small arm men, till the artillery was brought into position ; when, after a few discharges, the enemy broke and fled to the woods, pursued by our men ; but not being acquainted with the by-paths, were not able to overtake them, and ently made no prisoners; except a few stragglers found in the village. A small quantity of ammunition, and some muskets, were found in the church and destroyed, At 1 o'clock, P. M., after having refreshed my men, seeing nothing of the steamers, I took up the line of march and returned to the city. ‘The stoamers, after getting aground several times for want of pilots, which were not to be obtained, reached the village about half an hour after we had left, and re- turned here this morning. | forward herewith the re- port of Lieut. Commandant Lockwood, of the Scourge, who was in command. ‘The party we encountered at the village of Tamultay consisted of about 500 men, under the command of Gen.

Quitman, that he had not participated in the capture of Alvarado ; and also that it was with some di fculty that the general could be made to believe that the commo- dore had not played him fulse in letting Lieut. Hunter run off with all the honor. The same article also states that it was well under- stood at Vera Cruz that Alvarado would surrender with- out opposition.

Small parties cf the enemy oocupied the outskirts of the city every night, threatening an attack, and [ was obliged to keep a large portion of the forces constantly on duty to prevent being surprised. Finding that the enemy sheltered himself in the ranchos in the outakirte of the city, 1 gave orders to burn all the unoccupled ones. This duty was executed by Lieutenant Comman- dant Porter, with a detachment of one hundred men About two hundred ranchos were destroyed, most of them but little value, Having learned that the enemy had occupied the outer barrack, near the chureh, the night previous, | ordered it to be destroyed also, and it was accordingly blown up. This, and the explosion ofa few sheila fired over the city, probably prevented the contemplated attack by the enemy the ensuing night I had also planned for the 30th an expedition to thd village of Tamultay, situated about three miles from this, which was reported to he the headquarters of Gen.

It is stated in the public papers, upon the authority of the Suffolk Chronicle, that the Barings and the Rothschilds are the great holders of wheat in England. There was some rioting at Ostend in consequence of a tise in the priceof bread. The mob broke the windows of several bukers’ shops, and would probably have pro- ceeded to greather extremities, but for the prompt but conciliatory intervention of the authorities. The value of the grain carried offin the late riots at Grossewardein, tetlengery, amounts to 65,000 florins (170,000 fr.) ‘The mob had 30 persons killed, and sever "1 wounded by the cavalry charges, before they dispersed.

P.M. Godfrey, with Acting Lieut. J Carmichael and Mr. T. Coutts boatswain. They found the brig well armed, two long 18-pounders on pivots, one between the magta and the other abaft the mainmast; two broadside guns forward (18-pounders),and two brass swivels op the bul- warks of the quarter-deck; also nettings to repel board- ers, ammunition, muskets, cutlasses, blunderbuses—in fact, every kind of weapon for defending & veasel, ‘The surf was very dangerous, one of the boats of the Devastation being dashed to pieces alongside the slaver, and the crew washed ashore; one also upset, and was driven ashore by the rollers, and the brig in # short time became a total wreck. The officers and men, after cut- ting away the masts with their cutlasses, found it neces- sary to swim ashore for their lives. The brig parted amidships. One marine was lont in trying to swim ashore, The man who had been looking out at the mast head of the slaver was seen in the surf, heavily ironed, having been thrown overboard by the captain for not keeping a better look-out, and seeing the cruiser before. The Devastation’s crew tried to save the poor fellow. but his irons took him down. ‘he surf ran so high as to make it quite impossible to get off to the Devastation, so the men had to remain ashore till the next morning, when the paddle-box boat was anchored at the back of the surf, and the dingy being well buoyed up with cork fen- ders and bunkers, was vered ashore by hauling lines. After various attempts. which proved successful, in em- barking the men, they were all got off. The French man-of- war brig Leger rendered every assistance in try- ing toget the men off. ‘Too much praise cannot be given to the captain, officers and ship's company of the brig for their valuable services, All the prisoners, ten in number, who were foundon board the brig, were saved, ‘The Devastation has also taken an American brig un- der Brazilian colors, with 620 slaves on board, bound to Rio.
