There is nothing iin public advices or documents lately received from Mes4 ico, that indicates, any disposition on her part to accept of such terms as might be jDfiered to her by thej United States. .' It is hot probable that the new overtures difTer much; from "those cnt last winter through Mri iAtocha,t;'jThe precise terms now sent are, of course, unknown, hut nn nf the Cabinet has stated." in conversa tion, that they were less stringent upon Mexl co than the terms before proposed.; Itj was hence conjectured, by some, that; our govern ment would consent 7o take as a boundary the Rio Grande to 36deg. and thence across to the Pacific. "VI ii ' ' ' But I have ascertained that! this is far. from beinir correct. The river is not to be the bound ary, but the Sierra Madre and the great desert South of Sahillo.

The Legislature will be democratic, and only two or three vhigw mem ber of Congress can be carried, instead of the five expected. Gen. Taylor's detailed report of the battle of Bucna Vista, appears this morning in the Z7n ion, and is a very interesting document.
