IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO--Peace Scoffed at by the Mexicans!--Mrs. Anne Chase, who is now in this city, received from Tampico, by the steamer Palmetto, a letter from her husband, Mr. Franklin Chase, which, by her kindness, we are allowed to lay before the public. We give the following passages:

[N. O. Mercury.

Tampico, July 11th, 1847.

Although you sailed yesterday, and up to this moment nothing of importance has transpired to disturb the peace of our little city, yet I cannot let this opportunity pass without saying a few words to you. Did you observe your own flag flying where you first planted it? It was hoisted by Gen. Gates and his fair lady. What a beautiful compliment! When we were crossing the plaza I saw them in the act of hoisting it--the Colonel at the halyards and the lady throwing the flag out in the breeze. There were many lookers-on, and many admirers of the thoughtful and kind act of your friends. For my own part, I was in raptures of delight, and never felt prouder than I did at that moment. Since writing the above, I have just met two gentlemen from the city of Mexico, who inform me that the offers of peace made by the U. S. through Mr. Trist, are scoffed at by the Mexicans. So much the better for the cause of humanity.-- My fellow passenger Mr. Plock, is one of the gentlemen from Mexico, and he assures me that all foreigners now dread a premature peace.— They now know Mexican perfidy, and he assures me that however great our contempt might have been against them, we had but a very faint idea of their real villanous propensities. On the 30th ult. Gen. Scott was within nine miles of the city of Mexico, and, I presume, has planted the American flag there ere this. We hear that Col. Dorsey is pressing on rapidly, and this day I hope will crown him with glory. We are all well this morning, and rejoice that you had such fine weather during the night. May God bless you and speed you on your way. Col. and Mrs. Gates send their love, and

I am truly and affectionately,

Your devoted husband,

FRANKLIN CHASE.
