It eppears that the President has again

the passage of a law appropriating such

Tuesday, August!, 1S46.
The following message was received
from the President of the United Stales
by Mr. Walker, bis secretary:
To the Senate oj the United States:
I herewith communicate to the Senate
the copy ofu letter, under dato of tbe 27 th
ultimo, from the Secretary of State of tho
United Stales to tho minister of Foreign
Relations .of the Mexican republic, again
proposing to open negotiations and con
clude u treaty of peace, which shall adjust
all the questions in dispute between the
two republics. Considering the rclntivc
power of the two countries, the glorious
events which Imve already signalized our
arms, and the distracted condition of Mex
ico, I did not eonceivo llmt any point of
naltonnl honor could exist which ought to
prevent mo from making this overture.
Equally anxious*to terminate, by u pence
honorable for both parlies, us I was, orig
inally, to nvoiil the existing war, I have
deemed it my duly again to extend tbe
olive branch t» Mexico. Should the gov
ernment of thru republic ncccpt the offer
in the same friendly spirit hy which it was
dictated, negotiations will speedily com
mence for tho conclusion of a trenty.
The chief difficulty to lie anticipated
in the negotiation is ihc ad justment of the
boundary between the parlies, l>y a line
which shall at once be satisfactory anil
convenient to both, and suebas iieiiheijwill
hereafter bo inclined to disturb. Tins is
is the licsl mode of securing perpetual
peace and good neighliorhood between
llic two republics. Should the Mexican
government, in order to accomplish these
objects, l>o willing to cede any portion of
their territory to the United 'Suites, we
ought to pay tlicin a fair equivalent; a
just and honorable peace, and not con
quest, being our purpose in tho prosecu
tion of the wur.
. Under these circumstances, and con
sidering tho exhausted and distracted con
dilion of the Mexican republic, it might be-
The President does not lielieve that
point of national honor sliould forbid him
from making ibis tender, especially after
the glorious events which have thus far
marked the progress of the war. Should
tho Mexican government determine to ac
cept the offer, and enter upon negotiations,
it may, and probably will, propose to you
to conclude an armistice during their pen
dency. If such a proposition should be
made, you will promptly but kindly re
ject it, giving at the same time every as
surance that the President will do all in

The gold °nd silver mine* .of Mexico
Continue to produce an immense ainpunt
of ore, so much iu fact, that it may be
said, that a large proportion of all that is
used in commerce, in the Eastern Hem
isphere, comes from that country. It is
computed,' diet the quantity of precious
metals exported from Mexico iu 1842,
was S 18,000,000. This of course docs
not include the vast amount that is clan
destinely taken ont of the country, to avoid
the enormous export duty of sixpercynL,
charged by tbe Government. It is asser-
tep that the product of the mines of Mex
ico is great now as ever. There can be
no doubt that the continued revolutions
have bad the effect to check the working
of the mines, and thereby lessened the
production to an immense extent.
It is a matter worthy of speculation, as
to what would be the effect upon the
world, if tire Mexican mines were iu the
possession of an industrous and enterpri
sing people, who would open every vein
of silver or gold, that could profitably lie
wrought. It is said that one family in
Mexico have absolutely checked the
amount of bullion that might be got out
of the mines in their possession, fearing
they would produce more than they were
willing to throw into the commercial
world. How true this may lie we cannot
judge: yet it is probable, that if all the
mines in Mexico were wrought, silver
would full in value, and thus create a sin

not matter what the utfence was, the press
should not be slopped, unless indeed, it
ndyncaled the cause ol the, enemy.—
When the Reveille's proprietors first ctitne
here, they asked the General to lake them
under military law, but he refused, say
ing tlie Alt-ode of the town must protect
them. Yet, notwithstanding this-the pa
per has been twice stopped by military
authority, without consulting‘'the Alcade
at all. There is a lack of consistency in
nil this, aud it docs not nil coincide with
ihe General’s proclamation to the-Mexi
cans, in which he preaches tip so strongly
the liberty of the press. Hu Iras given
them permission to remove their press,
hut insists upon keeping the types under
guard until the hour pf removal comes.
A search Iras -been going on for a day
or two, after the Government Agent from
