Chapparel, the Mexican correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent, in speaking of the prospects of peace and the influence of Scott's suspension upon the Mexican States, holds forth after the manner following:

"There is no doubt but the recall of Gen. Scott has emboldened some of these Mexican States to drop the peace garb they wore a short time since—they considered him invincible, and I seriously believe the terror of his name was worth a good half dozen of regiments to us.— 'Twas a sad day to the army in Mexico, that which brought his recall."

"So sudden a turn have things taken that the most sanguine friends of peace, a week since, to say the least, now are in doubt. I am afraid that Pena will not have the courage to hold out, and when he sees State after State demanding the terms of the treaty, he will yield and publish it. If he does, you will probably have a sight of it first from Mexico. Oh, they are a sweet people, these Mexicans."

"Zacatecas and Guadalajara admonish the President that if an armistice is entered into they must be exempted from its effects, as they wish to organize and equip men for self-protection. In Jalapa 100 additional men have been raised, and four new pieces of cannon recently cast."
