At 12 o'clock the Committee of Reception waited upon him, and through Col.

Elmore, as Chairman, was tendered a cordial welcome to the city. Col. Elmore, in- tendering the hospitalities of Charleston, remarked that ur citizens, differing from him on manypoliticial questions, were yet happy to-pay a just Iribute to one who stood among men, pre-eminent for genius and tad been instrumental, while occupying the office of Secretary of State, in settling an important boundary question, "and to bim were the United States in part for the amicable. feelings whichmow subsist between the- people of both countries.

Mr. Petiru said he was happy to be the organ of to pleasant a duty. Mr. Webster replied appropriate it was an custcfm for the Bar to dine together, and that he should be much gratitied ii. teet with his professional brethren.

The linner will take place on Monday. Altogether, the reception of Mr Webster was such an one as reflects equal honor on tim and our own News. F'rom the Correspondenceo the Char. -Courier. A Hl NGTON, 4.

The rumors heretofore prevailing in regard to the character of- the overture made to the Mlexican Government by Mr. Atocha, is confirmed. It is certain, -too, that the manner of its reception nd the subseqloent steps taken by Santa Anna, envinced. our Government that peace was far distant. It is now said, however, that Mr.

Buchanan is confident that he will receive an overture soon from the Mexican Government. He may, per baps, have received some intimation to that effect from an authorised source. If the Mexicans irsisu upon the withlrawltl of our troops from-their territory as a prelitminarj to negotiation, it will not be acceded to. But, perhaps, Mexico will simply ask a cessation of hostilities For a certain time, witti a view to entertain ivertures. That is likely to happenhether in sincerity or from design to gain time for strengihening Santa Anna's posiion-and it will doubtless be granted.

But the moat eagacious and well informed men here express the opitnion- that itr the present state of parties or factions in Mexino rasting peace can be rnade. Santa Anna is for war, for he wonuld lose his pwer if he made peace. The party hostie to the clergy are for ar, hecause. it vill be the medoni of destroying thie hierarhy, The masses of the people are for war, for their hatred of Americans is portioned to their ignorance.
