| The Probable RenetoaI Of Nssotiations
There Is good reason to believe that Mr. Trst, at the
date Of his last letters from the oty Of Mexico was not
without hope Of being able to make treaty His letter
Of recall did not issue from the State Department before
the 9th Of this month, and will have reached him
much before this date. Even II Congress did meet at
Querearo on the oth, expected IL 10 probable
that dennitive treaty Of peace necessarily involving
80 much discussion, nrs Of its expediency among the
members themselves and Afterwards Of it, terms be
tween Mr.. Trist and the Mexican commissioner could
have been concluded In the time that has since elapsed
It IT, therefore probable that Mr. Trss letter Of recall
will reach him before the termination of the nseotia-
ons, II any have taken place His own Impression was
that treaty would be concluded, II at ALL before the
10Th Of this month II Is to be hoped that his expecta
tons were not well grounded IL is very certain that
treaty Of peace, based upon the utinatum which he
carried out with him-the only in his possession
would neither be approved by the Executive govern
ment ratified by the Senate That ultimatum COM
prissd the cession Of Upper California and New Mexico
and fixed the boundary between the republics the
Rio 0rsnde the southern and boundary Of New
Mexico the river ella to the Colorado down the latter
to Its mouth thence down to tho 32d degree and along
the line Of that degree to the Pacific But lest there
should be any doubt whether the harbor OF San Diego
the possession Of which the especial care Of our
government to secure, Ii north south Of that line
and to prevent any disputes hereafter the boundary
line to dip south Of the little town Of San Miguel
which Ii about degree south Of San Diego Az cir
cumstanoes have no materially changed since the time
whom Mr. Trist authorised to offer these terms 1t u
to be hoped that he will not his for peace over
look tho fact that what would have been proper then
would be- proper now, and that the enemy has no
right to expect terms a. moderate government
willing to conceds before army had advanced
farther than Jslspa Since then our army has CAD
tured several cities the capital among them and our
nation has lost three thousand In battlstvo very
weghty facts, which Mr. Trst cannot fall To nnR into
the balance against Mexico his letter Of recall reach
him before anything shall be concluded all will be we'll
Even If Mexico should have in the meantime signned
her willingness to treat reasonable terms Mr. Trsts
revocation cannot in any manner interfere with the
prospects Of peace He might divsstns himself of his
ohoal character, still hold informal conferences with
the Mexican commissioners, and, on his return home
submit to his government the terms the enemy Ia willing
to accept Should commission accompany him hithsr
for the purpose Of concluding treaty there would be
every reason hope for . speedy peace But in any
event. IL Is certain that the ultmatum Mr. Trist was
authorized 10 Offer will be renewed nor would
our government have failed to insist Msxioo's con-
ossson Of all the points the Mexican report Of the ne
