BALTIMORE, August 6, 1876
Decidedly Hot-Imporfanf Rmmors from Washing

bug-FHneral Of Major Ringgold-Dfarkets,
&c.
Yesterday approached very near to being one
OF the hottest days of the season. At2 o'clock,
the thermometer stood at 3d. with scarce breath
oil air stirring.
Our city, last night, was filed with reports of
the greatest import from Washington, and there
appears to be pretty strong grounds to believe that
hey are well founded. 1t is said that treaty of
peace with Mexico was presented to the Senate
by the President, in executive session, accompa-
nying which, was the offer Of mediation on the
part of Great Britain, and a proposition for the
purchase of California. deductng from the price
agreed upon $SO,OOO,OO0 for the expenses OF the
war.
The most important rumor, however, to the ci-
tizens OF baltimore is, that which predicts veto
from The President q the French spoliaton bill.
