Hexico -the Tale Told. The Washington Union of Saturday night last states "upon competent authority, that the report i not true, that Mexico refused to negotiate with the United States until we shall draw our armies from her territory and our fleets from her coasts. This report is absolutely without foundation.. The government of that country has determimd to refer the Prident's over

ture to open negotiations uf peace, to th t

constituent C assemble the beginning of December, wlmwill. ; 0i.io. or ,n. Sine. I h,v i,w Ja i

J.-." if. - 0iL I wc.tccc me w j nere we nave tne' bv authonty de claration at Washington that the Govern ment of Mexico; neither accents nor de clines the President's "rettarebut coolly refers U to Congress ishich is to convene in December ne.rt! This must wring ihe w ithers of Mr. Polk, and make him wince, if he can feel. Is ihis the return of Santa Anna for hi safe conduct through the blockading squadron of the United Slates into Vera Cruz? It is thus he requites the effort of our Administration to revolutionize ihe Mexican Government and place him at the head of itf The Union says it is not able 'lo say how far Santa Anna participated in this answer.' The answer is understood by the official organ to have transmitted by Gen. Rejon, Secretary of foreign affairs, in the short period of four days after the reception of the President's proposition. The Union thinks that alihough Santa Anna may not have been consulted about the form of the reply, yet the character of it seems to 'correspond to the general principle which he professes to have laid down for himself ol throwing himself up to tho wishes of the people and of the constituent Congress." How will this delay of some three months influence l-.e course of our gov ernment 1 It must, we think, proceed to conquer peace. This dilatory course is in keeping with the Mexican diplomacy and tactics. The Union assures us that al though Santa Anna may delay negotiations, he will not fold his arms in inactivity. On the contrary, that he hp,$ declared his delei initiation "to throw succors into California, and to dispatch troops to lo meet our advancing armies' to drive Gen. Taylor out of Mexico, and tq pursue him to the Sahinel Ridiculous and vain as are these threats, the Union gravely publishes them, assuring the Mexican Chief that he "had belter boastles and act more.' It takes it "for granted thai he will employ all the iniaus he h. is at command, m carrying on the war against us." We concur in ihis, aud think the Administration at Wahingtqn, as. we;i as Santa na, "had better boast less and act more." We are aseured that Gen Taylor "more than 2Q.0Q3 troops" under his im mediate order, iiidenenilnntlv of tlif forces of Gen. Wool and Kearney. The; ... . Government Has determined lo prosecute the war vigorously. If banla Anna lias ut;eciven ;ir. ruK, as ii seems ne n is, tne war should be vigorously prosecuted, and j ... orousiuioa speedy termination, ij ice must conquer peace, let us do it at once. Tne changes in the condition of the par ties since the answer of Mexico was dispatched, may entirely change the views of the Mexican government and induce im qedtate negnciaiion. Com. Sloat has taken possession of Califoiniit, and Gen Kearney has since entered Santa Ve, and set up there the authority of the Stales. G(?n Tayl .r has probably United befoie ihis time entered Menterey, poorly supplied as he has been with tie means of transportation; and General Wool would ere this, have advanced upon Chihuahua, had he been furnished with the njeans o: pushing forward his command, "ur troops have now some prospect of visiting ih n illsOl Moiuez linns; out we ao nm think they will meet with much resistance on ihe way, if, indeed ihey find any force to conquer.
