OF the invasion, declared. that SHE would

he would excommunicate the Austrans !;

Col. FREMoNT.-The Washington un.cn
OF the 18th ult. publishes letter from Col.
Fremont in which he calls upon the War
Department for the charges preferred
against him by Gen. Kearncy, and asks for
speady trial upon them, as well as upon
all other charges that have been made
against him through the newspapers of the
country. We copy the concluding para
praph of his letter. The reader will be sur
prised to learn that Col. +. was ignorant Of
the charges preferred against him, or that
he was to be arrested, until he got back to
the United States. The whole business
looks to us like the venting Of a little perSo-
nal pique on the part of Gen. Kearney, and
we venture to predict that Col. +, will rather
gain than suffer in reputation by the forth
coming trial.

with the belief that great misconduct has

Latest frCn Mexico.

There is no later news from the city o
Mexico than we gave last week. We have
however, BY the New OleanS papers in de-.
tai the rumors upon which the telegraph,
announcement was based which we gave
Inst week, that peace had been concluded
between Mr.. Tri>tc aud the Mexican com.
niS>iancrS. This news, II appears, was
brought to New Orleans by letter from
Tampico, TO the editor Of La Pdtrid, the
Spanish paper, which letter enclosed anoth-
er from the city of Mexico, written on the
eveaius Of the Goth of August. We give
this letter below.
II win be seen on closely reading this let
ter that so far from stating that articles Of
peace had been siJncd, as the telegraph had
il, il does not even state, posihsc'y that the
articles which it gives as the principal ones
Of the treaty, have Teen agreed upon. Thus
suppoSing the letter to have been written by
one possessed Of every means of obtaining
correct information, and we think it proba-
bic that it vas, il is far from justifying the
statement Of the Patria that these articles
have received the assent Of Mr.. TriSte; and
i'll View Of their extraordinary nature, we
venture TO say at once that they have not
been and never viii be adopted as part Of
the treaty Of peace with Mexico. Isis pos
sible. as We have sccu suggested, that they
may be the propositions submitted by Mex
leo, bat they are not such as Mr.. Tris.e can
ever be brought To accede TO.
1t may be proper 10 state, in this connec-
ton, that letters have been received al
Washington from Mr.. Tristc Of as late dsie
as the 18th August, in which he states that
he had already had two interviews with the
Mexican commissioners, and was TO have
another on the Both, which was 10 DC the
last unless he ieIt fully assured that the ne
gotiations would lead to permanent treaty
of peace, Of which he had strong hopes; but
no allusion is made inthc letter TO the terms
that had been, or probably would be, agreed
upon.

that up 10 yesteaday, it had impressed very

The principal articles are the following.
''l'he United States shall restore 10 Mex

ports. cities and towns which the American
forces occupy in our territory.
The United States shall forever retain
the State Of Texas, whose limits shall extend
to the lcf, bank Of the Rio Bravo del Nortc.
comprising Matamoros by means ola canal,
which shall be cut for that purpose. In re-
spect to this latter paint, it appears that
nothing defna;e has been agreed on.
II has been found impossible TO assemble
Congress, consequently junta Of ''notables"
will be formed, for the express purpose of
revising the treaty. There are other arti-
Giles, but as they are ofsccondary importance.
they are not gwen.
General Valencia marched TO Toluca
where he publicly declared tha, lie would
not recognize Santa Anna as President Of
the Republic, nor as commando r-in.c hief;
and he proposes 10 assemble troops for the
purpose Of attacking the Capitol. Suisse
qnently, however, it appears, he surrender
cd himself TO the Government, by whom he
has been sent prisoner 10 Gaudalopc, " here
he is TO be brought before a Court Martial.
Gen. Alvarez is announced as intending
to ro-asscmble his troops, for the purpose Of
attacking the Americans the first favorable
opportunity.
General Paroles, it is stated, is marching
on the capital with respectable force, which
he has succeeded in bringing together, with
a view to assist his countrymcn. This he
persists is 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.
