Il THE News FROM MExIco.--The Wash
| ington Union has Information, received
by the brig Somcrs, at Pensacola, IA
late as the 10Th instant from Vera Cruz.
The following letter is published in the
Union
From a pe,y respectable source ON board
om squadron cf Pera Crus--.May 10.
II 'for somo tS-as pact, q TepoU has-
been III circulation here, that a treaty Of
peace was neg go'iaiing between Mexico
and Texas. Within the last few days
circumstances have transpired which
seem TO confirm and render il extremely
probable.
cit appears that Captain Elliott, tho
British minister at Texas, accompanied
ny an agent from that government, cbur-
ged with proposals for peace, arrived
here on the llth of April in The British
man-ofwar Eury dice, and departed d.
rectly in very private manner for tho
city Of Mexico. From one of the news
onpers enclosed (27th Of ApriI) you will
learn that on the 2Is,, NJ. Cuevas, tho
Minister Of State, made report to tho
Mexican Congress on Texian affairs, and,
with the unanimous consent Of the cabi-
net, proposed a decree authorizing him
to receive propositions made by Texas
to arrange aud conclude u treaty oc
peace honorable 10 Mexico, TO be sub
niited Tor the approval of Congress.
This decree passed The house on The Sd
OF May by vote Of forty lone to thirteen,
and subsequently, was approved by tho
Senate unanimously. A bill for a loan
OF three MILLIONS Of dollars hns also be-
come n law.
"Sinco then, letters from the city of
Mexico, which ] am told may be relied
upon, have been received here, stating
that the negotiation between Mexico and
Texas has been completed, so far as tho
executives Of the two countries are con-
cerncd. The terms are said TO be, that
Mexico acknowledges the independence
of the latter, guaranteed by Epgla and
France, provided Texas rejects annexa-
ton with the United States or any other
country.
"Capt. Elliott, with the agent from
Texas, returned to Vera Cruz on the Cd
INST, and will embark on board tho
same ship, about to sail for Galveston.
ut does not appear, from The differ
ent reports Of the cabinet on Toxan nf-
lalrs, aud the subsequent action upon
hem by Congress, that an immediate
declaration OF whr is contemplated against
he United Statcs. On the contrary. il
would seem Tint the government wishes
10 avoid such an alternative, by the read
ness II has manifested IN this occasion.
