,ration5in Cabinet Council, determined to
establish a form Of Government de tdcto

peace, and guaranty the security of that
Government
There is no doubt that most formida-
Bile peace party has arisen in Mexico, and
tha, some of its members have been in
communication with Gen. Scott. As soon
as Gen. Scott shall arrive in the city of
Mexico, tho peace party will form Gov
ernment de jacto. undor the guaranty Of
Gen, Scott.
Our armies must, of course, remain ia
Mexico ill the treaty made with tho now
government shall be fully carried into
eHoct.
The mass OF the Mexican people arc
not expected 10 concur in tho treaty, be-
cause many of their leaders will oppose it,
A civil war will arise, and tho new
government and its supporters will havo
US rs allies.
