Most excellent Sirs: By order of his excellency, the President ad interim of the republic, as resolved in a council of min .sters, I have the honor to place in the btand of.your excellencies, that you may submit it to the sovereign Congress, at its irst meeting, a copy of the official note, addressed by the Secretary of State of the United States to this government, under dateof the 15th of April. last, in which he declares that the President of that republic 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 definitive treaty of peace with the Mexican United States. I likewise transmit to your excellencies, for communication to the sovereign Con f gress, a copy of the answer which the most excellent President resolved, in a council xof ministers,o have made to the above smentioned note; his excellency feeling as sared that the august assembly, to which is reserved the determittation oti the affair eto whieb the ,present communication re R lates, will deatcit;withthe promptness -ad wisdots to- the -expected from its triutism aid its distinguished enlighten nths txe nefe fForetgn tationegofhe Mezc ~Repttii. . DPARTutENT.oP STATE, Washington,..April 157 1847. SSir: I have the-'honor-to acknowledge Atetecipt-of your excellency's note, of -the 22d Tebruary last, in an answer to mine. of the 18th January, proposing, on -the part of the President of the United States, immediately to "despatch either to the H avana or ,falapa, as the Mexican government may prefer, one or more of our most distinguished citizens, as corn m--zissioners, clothed with full powers to conclude a treaty of peace with similar commissioners on the part of Mexico, as soon as he shall be officially informed that I the Mexican'government will appoint such I ScommissionerS." The President deeply regrets the refusal 'of the Mlexican government to accede to this friendly overture, "unless the raising I 'pof the blockade of our (the Mexican) ports3 qand the complete evacuation of the territo- t i yof their republic by the invading forces, I ehall be previously accepted as a' prelimi nary condition."t The Presidenf has instructed ame to' in' form you that this "preliminary condition" is wholly inadmissible. Such a condition . Is neither required by the honor, nor sane- J tioned by the practice of nations. If it I - - ere, this would tend to prolong wars, F P'espseeialy between-conterminous-coutrieu- I untilthe one or the other power was en 4-tirely subdued. No nation- which, at thee expenditure of blood and treasure, has inv~Aded- its enemy's contry. and acqtiired possession of any considerable portio ofa is terriory, couldever consent to with draw its- forces, as a preliminary condition to th. opening of .negotiations for peace. ---This would be at once to abandon all the I - advantaoes-ik had obtained in the prosecu- I ,tion of the war,- withotut any certainty that I would result fi-om, the sacrifice. t y, more,. the nation which had thust imprudently withdrawn its-forces from-the >enemy''s soil,-might not be-able to-recover, I withouts a- cost of blood and'treasure equal I to thiatfirst expended, the advantageous ~positiotr which it'abad. voluntarily aban- I donted. Fortunately for the cause of peace and Sbamanity, the history of-nations at war i ffods no sanction-to-such a preliminary I condition. The United States are as I jealoius of their.'great- national honor ase any power on the jace of;- the earth;, and I ~-~et it never entered. intotlie.contemplation t kof the great statesmen who admintereda out- government during the periodiof our fI 4a war with Great Britain, to-insist that tI She latter should relinquish that partsof our I ~ territory of whicn she was in actualpos - senion, before they would consent to open .egotiations for peace. On the contrary, I *hytok the initiative, and appointed' '-l * -~jmassioners to- treat for peace whilst e --prbofouir country were held, by the I u~n~,id it is- a. remarkable fact, that '~I rayof Ghentwas-concluded by the s ~ptentiaries of the two powers whilst e bwar-was raging on both sides; and the t mistifemorable -of the conflicts to which I it gate rise took plae upon our own soil a afterthe negotiators, had happily termina- p aid their labors. History' is full of such examples. Indeed, so far as the under signed is aware, there is not to be found, at least in modern times, a single case, except the present, in whibhit 'has been considered a necessary preliminary that an invading army should be withdrawn before negotiations for peace could com mence between the patties to the war. It would, also be difficult to find a pre cedent for'the course'pursued by the Mex icanigovernment in another particular. The President, anxious to avoid the war now existing, sent a minister of peace to Mexico for this purpose. After the Mex ican- forces had attacked the army of Gen. Taylor on this side of the Rio Grande, and thus commenced the war, the Presi dent, actuated by the same pacific spirit, made repeated overtures to the govern ment of Mexico to negotiate for its termi nation; 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 minister in the first place, and afterwards by not acceding to our overtures to open negotiatidus 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 negotiate-at least until he shall have reason to believe that it would be accepted by the Mexicans. Devoted. however, to honorable peace. he is deter termined that the evils of the war shall not be protrated 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 forth with 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 a definite treaty of peace with rte United Mexican States. This gentle man possesses the entire confidence of the President, and is eminently worthy of the Mexican government. The undersigned refrains from all com ment upon the concluding paragraph, as well as some other portions, of your ex cellency's note; because the strong sense which he entertains of their injustice to wards the United States could not be" t tered in the friendly tone which he desires to preserve in the present communication. Fie turns from these, therefore, to dwell as be does with unfeigned pisasure-upon he sentiment contained in an early part of the same note, where the Mexican govern neut expresses how painful it is "to see disturbed the sincere friendship which it cultivated with your (our) republic, whose continued progress it has always admired, and whose institutions have served it as a model." - gThis feeling ismost cordially reciprocat d by'tbe Presiilent, whose earnest desire is thattheUnited :Mexican-States, un *ope sdiiiaiatain an elevat datanding imong the nations of the-earth. 'The undersigned embraces this occasion :0offer to your excellency the assurance of is, most distinguished consideration. * J iME~SBUCHANAN.

The Revenue.-Te W~ashington Union las procured from'the Treasury an officiial stter from the Secretary, in reply to a ommunication from Mr. Adams, of Mis issippi, from-which letter, according to beUnion, it appears, "that' the actual ' ugmentation of receipts for duties for the irst seven months and' tentidays under the ariff of I842, exceeds-one million of dol ars; -and- that, adding the duties on' thte rarehoused goods, the total increase is- b early one million and'a' half of dollars. appears also that the rate of augmentaa ion is- progressing, and that M Walker' a stimate wvill be more than realised by the Sunday M'ail.-The Postmaster Gin ral has ordered- the discontinuance of 1e Sunday mail from B'eston to-Char Istown, Mass. It has been done upon thea ppication of several citizens of that Situation of Generals Scot and Taylor. -Assome have been inclined for weeks past to indulge in gloomy apprehensions respecting the situation of Gen.: Scott, we were pleased to observe in theNew-Orleane Delta received yestdrday, an editorial article which so fully coresponds with our own views on the subject, tbat we. have determined to lay the. substance of it be fore our readers. As the Delta says, it is well known that Gen. Scott determined not to push on from Puebla, until reinforced by the new levies. His force, before these reached him, autounted to .8,500 men, three-fourths regulars. The accessions fournished by Col. McIntosh, Gens. Cad wallader, Pillow, and other officers, amounted to, at least, 4,000; and the re sidue of the regiments under den. Pierce must have swelled his available f(rce to about 15,Q00 men. With so efficient a command'as this, to doubt the ability of Scott to maintain, ot the most, his dwt, were to forget victories our a-mes have already achieved, under far less favorable circumstances.-Besides, ds the Delita remarks, the Mexicans have made little or no preparations to defend the capital, in which there could not be more than 3,000 regular troops. Taking, then, all these items into consideration, we may dismiss from our minds all fears or any disastrous defeat. Of coirase rio anxiety is felt for the safety of'Gen. Taylor, though there is a desiie entertained by all to see him once more on march. The Government has been riuch censured for the delays which have occur red in providing him with reiniforcements i but we are willing to believe that the de lays were unavoidable, and that iy the first of September the General will be in sufficient force to authorize him to advance on San Luis I otosi.-CharlesQn Evening News. The New Battalion. =The Washiigdn Union has learned that the battalion of or volunteers under the command of Lieut. Colonel Hughes. raised mainly from the District of Columbia and State of Mary land, are under orders for immediate trans portation to the active seat of war. Col. H. will open the road from Vera Cruz to Jalapa, and occupy that important town for the purpose of securing Gen. Scott's line of operation. The battalion will be greatly increased. At least one company will be taken from Carlisle, Pennsylvania; and another (if its organization should be speedily completed) from Wilmingtotr, Delaware ; besides a battery of field artil lery from Baltimore. The Union remarks that in the organization of this force, the President has, from the beginning, taken a deep and paternal interest, and has evinced a disposition to render it as useful as possible; and now shonws his continued interest and confidence in the battalion, by assigning to it a most distinguished- and honored duty. Of the six companies now at Fort McHenry, four will be shipped for Vera Cruz on the 22d inst., and the others as soon thereafter as possible.

The only remedy is in presenting to the North, the inevitable consequencesi of the suicidal policy. The wohote South must dce this, to effect the desired end ;.the continued'peace of the country, and the preservationt of the Union. We trust the press of the South wvill take up the subj-ect, and suggest that S.

Something must be done, and that .peedily, to avert the fearful consequences that must ensue, if the wicked course of Lhe people of the free States, be persisted in. What the South will do, ought to be unequivocally stated, the line of defensive action, which she bas determined to pursue, ought t'o'be distinctly marked, and before the nexwt Congress. if this is done, we will heaY' nothing more of the Wilmot Proviso, and' the country will be saved.
