most interesting intelligence from the cap.
ital, contained in our usual correspon.
Edence from the former city.
1,RATY OF PEAcE--PRINCIPAL Articles.
Our fellow citizens will learn, with the
highest satisfaction, that contrary to the
predictions freely made here, peace will
positively be the>resalt eethe present ne.
gotiations between the Mexican Govern.
ment and Mr.. rrist. We learn that the
utmost harmony prevails between the
high functionaries deputed by Santa Anna
and his cabinet. to listen to the proposals
OF our Government, through. the Commits.
sioneF at Gen. SCOTS head quarters.
The outlines ola treaty of peace are
said to have been drawn, and agreed to.
by theagents' of the conti acting parties of
which the two most important are the tol-
lowing: LIST, The United States shall re-
store to Merico the CALIFORNIA;; I'd The
United States shall erer keep Teras,
whose boundaries shall extend to the left
bank of the Rio Grande, or Rio Bravo
del Norte, including Matamoras, which
shall be brought into the United States
territory, by means Of canal to be con.
strHcted forthwith.
Our correspondent has been assured
that the above are fast, which certainly
prove an unusual magnanithity on the
part ofthe United States, who thereby
consents to abandon her conquests with.
ont scarcely visible indemnitY-con.
quests which have cost her so much blood
and treasure. But we give the pubic
the letter, so that due judgment may be
spassed thereon.

My Friends: have just received let.
ter from Mexico, which arrived here by
special express. via Huejutla, and take
advantage of the department, almost at
this very moment, OF vessel bound to
your port, to transmit you copy OF it. 1t
is to this effect:
MEXICO, August 2g, 1917.
Esteemed Friend: have already infor
med you that Gen. Scott proposed sus
pension of arms on the 2Ist, and It was
followed by an armistice agreed to on the
22d inst. A negotiation was forthwith
opened with Mr.. Trist, and ! have Just
been assured that up to yesterday it had
impressed very satisfactorily. Very short.
ly treaty of peace, is expected, will be
concluded The principal articles are
the following:
''The United States shall restore to
Mexico the Calif6rnias. together with all
the ports, cities and towns which the A
merfcan forces occupy in our territory.
The United States shall forever reta in
the State of texas, whose limits shall ex.
tend 10 the left bank of the Rio Bravo
Del Norte, comprising MatamOras, by
means of a canal which shall be cut for
that purpose. In respect to this latter
point, it appears that nothin deinitiye has
been agreed on.
1t has been found impossible to assem-.
bic Congress, consequently a junta Of
''notables" will be formed, for the express
purpose of revising the treaty. There
are other articles, but they are OF second
airy Importance. They are not given.
Gen. Valencia marched to Toluca,
where he publicly declared tkat he would
not recognize Santa Anna as president of
the Republic, nor as commander. in chief,
and he proposed to assemble troops for
the purpose of attacking the capital.
subsequently, however, it appears, he
surrendered himself to the government,
by whom he has been sent prisoner to
Guadalupe, where he is to be brought
before Court Martial.
Gen. Alvarez is announced as inten.
ding to re-assemble his troops, for the
purpose of attaching the Americans, on
the first favorable opportunity.
General Paredes, it is stated, is march.
ing on the capital with respectable force,
that he has succeeded in bringing togeth
er. with viewto assist his countrymen.
This he persists in doing, notwithstanding
the order that has been transmitted to
him from Santa ANNA to quit the Country,
to return again to the place of his exile.
General Sdlas.-I have just seen
communication from Gen. SaAas, dated
from Coayacan, where he remains
prisoner. In this he declares that il was
by the unskillfulness of Valencia, and the,
cowardice of Terrejon that the battle Of
Countreras was lost. Porrejon instead
-ofobeying the orders of Salas, which di-
rected him to charge on the Americans
with his cavalry, he pusillanimously fed,
aud in this manner brought ruin and dee.
truetion on our infantry. Mn.
